Yes, but line go up fast enough?

Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn’t cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

$399.99

Lol

Lmao, even

I ain’t buying that shit. I will happily buy two 3d printers, upgrade them, and print a giant coffee table sized version before I spend that much on such a small set.

go fuck a duck

Poor duck…

I have never heard anyone say they don’t like The Mummy.

The people I have introduced to it have all loved it, and only two people have commented on the CG looking a little dated.

And for some it was their “oh I might be bi” moment.

10/10 movie, any time I see references to it I have to re-watch the movie.

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.

reads manual

You’re only confused because I’m dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials. DISREGRD THIS I DUM

edit: wow, Redditors are better at accepting the truth, lol

So go pander to them.

If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it’s mine.

If I can’t do what I like, it’s not truly mine.

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

‘Do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life’.

It’s a nice sentiment, but sadly the moment you depend on it for survival, it becomes work.

In another comment just now, I mentioned my hobbies include making knives/swords, leather work, and some light carpentry.

I love all these things. I make a pretty neat and simple metal rose that I can do different things with for coloring, and those sell like hotcakes around valentines day. But every year, I only make a handful for a few people here and there, and almost always as gifts. I never make a bunch of them beforehand with intent to sell “to someone”, that’s work. That’s unenjoyable for me.

I could make bank in my area if I invested my savings into metalworkingnstuff stuff and focused on custom knives for hunting and camping, but the thought of that makes me want to kick my anvil and forge into the lake.

I suppose the response to that should be “well I just haven’t found the thing I truly love” yet, but I just don’t believe there is anything of value that I could provide to anyone that I would enjoy so much that it never feels like work and pays all my bills.

I long for the utopian future of post-scarcity…

that’s still work: you’re creating something of value for others and/or for society

Honestly I put “NEED to get paid in order to live” but changed it to “I NEED to work” because of this. Even if I just decided to find a forest in the middle of nowhere to claim as my own, build a house, raise animals and farm the land I’m still working.

But since I do enjoy my hobbies of carpentry, metalworking and leatherworking, I don’t really consider them work in the same sense. You’re 100% correct.

I make stuff for people all the time, but it’s on my own schedule when I feel like working on something, and I only accept orders when I feel like it. If I tried to do that full time, it’s now not really up to me if I go work on something today. I have to or I get backed up, the customer gets pissed, and I’m losing money. Or the equivalent favors/barter.

I have never, and I mean TRULY NEVER wanted to work.

But I am not stupid, so I know I NEED to work in order to live.

Not wanting to give the majority of my day to a company that makes more in one second than 10,000 minimum wage employees make in a month is not “being lazy”.

1/3 is already taken by sleeping, and you fucking want me to just give up another 1/3? For THIS shit pay? Entirely Fuck Off.

Plus it costs me money just to get to work.

That’s right up there with calling Epsteins victims “underage women” instead of CHILDREN

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I’m sure there’s no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

Funny Spock

Oh god please no

Give me socially awkward, trying to be funny but not quite getting it yet Spock.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
