not you, the person you were commenting about.

“I do my own research” is a short walk away from “I trust only my own sources”

This is the kind of thing Chief Wiggum would proudly hold a press conference about while the thieves are carting away city hall in the background.

Now they don’t say hurricane anymore unless it’s sponsored by Coca-Cola. Hope you guys are enjoying the Big Storm.

The type of place where people describe themselves as spiritual but not religious.

They exist, are they here on Lemmy without artificially or “ironically” sharing their awesome hot takes? The world will never know.

Yet another who could have just shut the fuck up. Alas.

It’s a good thing we invented this straw person to have this whole discussion artificially when literally no one else was bringing it up. If we can’t find any monsters I guess we’ll invent them and do it anyway. 🙄

That’s a ridiculous oversimplification but it seems to make you happy.

The home you live in is not an investment if you aren’t willing to downgrade

That’s not true at all. A house owned in an appreciating neighborhood or that is thoughtfully invested in (appropriate upgrades) can increase in value over time. Moving to a different neighborhood or selling and buying under different market conditions can allow regular people to realize real gains.

Sure thanks for finding a better link. Here’s a cookie. 🍪

Man I dunno if we’ve ever been here before. Nope.

Yeah it felt like the Bible and the white/yellow pages used the thinnest paper I’d ever seen

Hmm, I bought a prebuilt in 2019 and the most annoying thing about upgrading it was that it had a custom motherboard, power supply and the case wasn’t compatible with anything else. I read the thread but missed who your prebuilt was from, as that might have a lot of bearing on how customizable your system is as a platform.

No, you don’t. The brand is run by a (gasp) clueless billionaire who thinks it’s cute to overplay this. So stores are filled with stupid signs that say stuff like “Aisle” or “Food” and the net effect of it is kind of dystopian and miserable (but, in a mocking way). Enjoy your generic “Slop”, “Poor”.

You’ll get (at least one) cat as a regular companion that you can bring on all your hunts and there are many more cute hats for them that you can dress them in. They also enjoy it. :)

yeah I mean you could say that first sentence about anything 😃 but also yeah it’s increasingly uslessly reductive (other than to divide endlessly) to talk about individual Americans that way, in my opinion. I wish we’d stop. I think Hannity has a vested interest in promoting the idea that americans line up into two neat camps.

I personally prefer the idea that democrats and republicans are elected party members and party officials and that voters are Americans, who can choose to support any of (or none of) these independent organizations. In the same way that I am not a Seattle Kraken.

(ETA: also, you can track a direct line of interest in treating politics like a team sport and what Hannity is trying to do, so literally as far away from that as you can get is what I’m talking about.)

chef there’s nothing in this burger

Oh I thought the sign was going to say “we have to sacrifice everything we believe in for the incredibly narrow issues going on in a single state because of the Electoral College, that’s how democracy works you dumbfuck” but my eyes are getting bad
