Shit, I think I was the weird kid

A twelve inch sub, two bags of chips, a bottle of soda for each, and some Reese’s cups.

I did the entire load except the Reeses.

This was back when FUBU was still a viable company. I could fit a full sized handgun in each pocket, so two drink bottles in one and a sandwich in the other were easy. Chips in the back pockets. With pants that loose, and a baggy shirt over the top, it wasn’t even visible lol. Good belt helped though.

With a good coat in winter, I could smuggle anything I damn well wanted almost anywhere. Hell, anywhere at all that didn’t search people, no almost.

Edit: me and my homie went together, it wasn’t all for me

Yeah, he’s got that magic voice and laid back vibe. It’s a very rare critter that can’t enjoy it

My dogs never watched. But both of them enjoyed Bob Ross a good bit, and were chill with music videos.

Nah, just pulled from power and shoved into a nice facility where nobody ever has to deal with them again

A goodly number of times

Met two different Helen Hunt lookalikes.

Met a Pavarotti looking guy at a video rental place.

Met a guy a few weeks ago that looked like a human Barcus Wroot

Met a woman that looked enough like Michael Jordan I had to do a double take.

Dunno if you’d call her a celebrity, but a friend dated a woman that could have been Kobe Tai’s sister, damn near twin.

Robert Plant! There was a guy in a cover band that looked like him and sang close enough that it was surreal.

Alas, people’s tongues don’t have the exact same spread of taste receptors, and our brains can interpret signals in different ways even when the origin simulation is identical. It’s part of what makes food recommendations so difficult. Even something as broadly enjoyable as chocolate still isn’t so universal that every single person likes it.

When it’s something as single note as umami can be, there’s going to be a lot of misses to go with the hits :(

It’s not really ready for prime time tbh.

I technically do, but only because the communities rarely to never need moderation.

I’m just too damn old to moderate much of anything that’s active enough to need moderation lol. If any of move ever do get busy, I’ll be looking for someone to take over.

Part of that is lemmy moderation low key sucking. Cross instance moderation is broken as fuck, but even on your own instance, it’s a pain in the ass. As much as people hated automod on reddit, if you got used to the way it worked, you could trivialize things in terms of stress vs reward without just stomping on users.

Since I also tend to hate trying to mod on a personal account, that’s another layer of hassles I just don’t have the energy for at this point

Milage wise? 120k miles, plus a little. But it was also 15 years old, so that ain’t too bad

Bought it new, drove it until the wheels figuratively fell off lol

I mean, if you’re punk and you aren’t rebelling, then you aren’t punk.

Stay chill and friendly when doing it all, no matter how hard that is.

No bullshit, you can present almost anything with a smile and a casual shrug and get away with it as long you stay polite in your wording. Very often, throwing in a “you know how it is” and giving it that tone of commiseration keeps things smooth even if you’re essentially telling the person to fuck off.

Since you’re in hospital setting, you can sometimes throw in “that’s out of scope” and at least befuddle whoever it is.

And, smile a lot. But not one of those rictus smiles, or smug ones. Think inwardly of your coming escape and hold tight to the relief, and just radiate that glow. Takes serious prep mentally to stay in he right frame of mind for it, but that jolly bastard will make it so much harder for people to ramp up their aggression.

It always helped me to remember that anyone getting all bothered and upset in that situation has a much sadder life than me. It let me reframe a given interaction to a different dynamic.

There was also mimeo, or some similar spelling, from mimeograph

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimeograph

Looking over that, I’m not certain those would smell the same way otheroptions did, but at my elementary school, that’s what teachers usually called them. If it wasn’t that, it was dittos

Depends on what you mean.

Humans can live without limbs at all. There’s issues that need to be watched because the body can struggle to regulate itself with that much mass and blood vessels gone, but it isn’t a problem by itself… We can live with no eyes, ears, nose, or even lips and teeth. We can lose one kidney, part of a liver, one lung, and segments of our intestines.

But, again, the more you lose, the more support you need, and the shorter your life expectancy.

However, that’s not survivable if you lose it all at once, without very fast help. Just losing part of an arm or leg can kill you without addressing the loss of blood that’s probably happening as well. The survivability of losing two feet of intestines to a bear in the woods vs losing it in a surgery is massively different, to put another slant on it.

Depends on what’s on them.

It turns out that having a little fat/oil on dishes helps get the whole load clean because of some chemical fuckery I don’t understand. Something about the surfactants working better or some such.

So, if it’s a little light grease, or something that will dissolve completely (like a smooth condiment), I don’t bother. But covid chunks, you gotta get off unless you enjoy digging around in a filter that’s clogged and under a puddle of trash filled water

Most of the time, sync, because I prefer my scrolling and reading on a tablet, and having dual columns that are easy to parse is more important than most other factors.

Boost is my backup for the same reason, since so far all the otherwise great lemmy first apps don’t do dual column well, when they do it at all.

That being said, check out connect, summit, and thunder. All damn fine apps overall

Damn. I have a hard time pinning that down. Way easier by genre, but even there I wouldn’t come to a permanent conclusion since the process is highly dependent on what I remember.

Most of the time, I end up on Fight Club. It’s my most rewatched movie for sure. It hits the right buttons between tight acting, phenomenal camera work, a structure that works, and a concept that can be challenging when first encountered. I hate that it got turned into a symbol for morons that only look at the surface of it, but that’s people for ya; they’ll take the exact opposite message from something and run with it like a pair of scissors.

That being said, I’ve watched spaceballs damn near as many times, along with young Frankenstein. Most of the Brookes ouvre rank pretty damn high for me, and dominate my comedy folders.

But there’s also Princess Bride that’s such a simple and comfortable movie, and Rocky Horror that thrills, chills, and fulfills me. All of those, I’ve seen so many times I’ve lost count, but reach triple digits (and probably exceed that considering I’ve been known to put any of those on to help me sleep when insomnia is kicking my ass, and some nights I’ll go through multiple via playlist now that digital exists).

Honestly? I’m of the mind that unless someone is altered by external matters, everything we do is in character, just not necessarily things we prefer. By external, I mean something like a drug, heat exhaustion, etc, that changes how our brain and body function, and thus can lead to success/behaviors that we wouldn’t do at all otherwise.

Everyone feels anger and wants to scream a little, even if extremely rarely. That kind of thing, it’s all a matter of how extreme the situation is vs the internal resources available. Stuff like asking for a hug is sorta inverse in vibe, but the same principle.

I get what you’re asking, and I’m not poopooing it, just prefacing my actual response.

For me, my out of character stuff is when I’m social. I don’t like most people, and dislike groups of people even when it’s a group of people I like. So in those rare times when I want to go out among strangers, particularly if I want to go along, that’s such a rare and unusual thing that I think it counts for what you’re asking. But it is still part of my character, just a very tiny part (unlike me getting sick enough of people to do some screaming lol)

My dick; I fuck Linux so hard

It’s his dick, obviously
