Yep, this is a huge fucking problem.

Top bad the often proposed suggestion of “let’s just skip right to the end” isn’t actually a solution.

We’re all in better Ask Lemmy on .world

Probably the thing about a lemy.ml admin doxing some random user some 25 times. Which is VERY not ok.

Person A wants to kill 1 million people.

Person B wants to kill 50 million people.

You: “what’s a trolley?”

“Unlike Kamala, I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. They have to win! And instead of pandering to the Jihad sympathizers and America-hating radicals, we will deport them.”

• D. Trump, verbatim, on Nov 6th.

But yeah no, this will definitely improve things.

It’s usually not the LED that fails, but the driver

Buddy, you’re not the main character

I’m in the Netherlands, helping out at a station in a school gym. This station had three booths, with one low-height voting booth, both for shorter people, but also for people in wheelchairs and whatever other reason. A man in his mid-30’s comes up in a wheelchair, we check his ID, hand him a ballot and the famous red pencil, and point to the direct of the booths, where someone has the temerity of allready occupying the wheelchair booth! GASP, SHOCK!

The guy proceeds to absolutely flip his shit, calling us bigots, racists, haters and nazis for not letting him vote from a wheelchair. That “people like us” have always hated him. For what’s it worth, note that both him and me are roughly the colour of fresh milk.

It was super awkward, because the man was “punch-your-face” angry, and I was the only person there who was under 60… But like… he’s in a wheelchair, and I’m sure he’d hurt himself a lot more than me. I was seriously considering just wheeling him out, but he hadn’t voted yet, and assholes have rights too, and the optics aren’t exactly great on that. One of the old ladies who also volunteered told me “Don’t worry girl, we get a few like that every time, just let him go and laugh about it over dinner”.

The kept ranting on his way out the door.

Luckily the home had their own staff join the groups that came to vote and resuscitated him and he continued exactly where he left off at tortoise pace.

That seems terrifying

Despite being really really invasive here in Europe, I love the Staghorn Sumac.

It’s very pretty, with great flowers and soft furry branches (like antlers). You can make an amazing “lemonade” from the fruits and you can eat the shoots raw.

And eating the shoots raw is a great idea, because it branches out like crazy. If your neighbors have one of these, you’ll soon have half a dozen too.

They also grow pretty fast, and the wood is super pretty (and super curvy, so you won’t be making any boards out of it)

Oh, that certainly explains your answers.

Are you a Lemmy sock puppetry expert? Because I am.

Oh wow, a real sock puppetry expert! That’s so amazing, can I have your autograph to show to my children?

Funny, good one

On a somewhat lower pedestal: Eragon. What a hugely derivative poorly written piece of crap. I’ve run D&D campaigns with better dialogue and pacing than that.

It’s also FULL of errors

And asbestos. I work in hazardous materials and the amount of things that had asbestos in them is terrifying.

Asbestos carpets, and asbestos-structured paint for fucks sake. Imagine how many peoppe sanded down asbestos paint…

The good life of the 80s?

well, OP seems to be a healthy white straight male in his 20s, otherwise they definitely wouldn’t comment this.

Sorry, I left my magic wand in my other pants…

Most people don’t want to break the sacred bond of pretending you’re busy, because then next time, they might get caught for doing the same.
