Beyond the health reasons, that sounds expensive

its just nice to be stuck somewhere for a bit with nothing to do but wait and be forced to read.

Yes! I also have this with airplanes and watching movies (or, again, reading books).

It’s not bad grammar, it’s more like an internet dialect. Reminds me of fantasy books that capitalise special nouns

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that song in full. Apparently the dogs are metaphorical

It’s strange, because Ripley is like the #1 “I don’t hate women in movies, just bad writing” excuse

Borderlands was that bad, huh?

Google has &udm=14

That’s when you add a w.h.p. (with high probability)

I wish this plot werent true

That’s an easy wish! Last time I saw this plot people were saying that this kind of data doesn’t even exist in the mentioned source (that and IQ is kind of bogus, but y’know)

I kept seeing recommendations of gimp as a photoshop alternative, so I installed it and… I was convinced that I must’ve downloaded the wrong thing. It didn’t even look like an image editor to me. I’m sure it’s a wonderful program, maybe the UI got better since then, but I ended up much happier just using paint.NET

Interesting, I kind of expected Lemmy to be the metal demographic

Albeit always confuses me. Albeït is so much better.

Whoa I didn’t know Alex Hirsch was this based but it makes sense

Telling male children who have feminine tights they must be female is what is happening and it is hurting boys.

This one just confuses me, I thought I heard all the talking points at this point (luckily the next sentence is much more familiar)

When the Hollywood movie shows anything related to your home country / language

I’m genuinely wondering if the cold war was any better than a third world war, because it still wrecked various countries in Asia, Africa and South-America

The other day I was thinking about tensions that exist in part because of British-drawn borders. Israel-Palestina, India-Pakistan. Can’t believe I forgot NI.

We can ask people to not do it. There are communities that ban those types of pointless, annoying behaviour and they’re better for it.

Lemmy shows links to all the posts about the same link (I think) so it doesn’t feel like an improvement over that

For environmental reasons I’m glad they’re not just destroying whatever they can afford to
