Thank you for sharing this story, I’ve never read it before and holy hell do I understand the main character!

I’ve literally called out of work to go hiking on so many occasions (like 10 times just this year so far)

And I don’t wanna stop

NGL in the thumbnail I thought the pencil was a joint lol

I agree with the message though: learn to draw, even if you suck at it you made it. It’s your creation. And there’s value there, you put the effort in, you brought the idea into this world. It’s your little imperfect bundle of joy to show the world.

A picture can say a thousand words, make it and let it speak.

I’d rather have imperfect personal creations than perfect slop

When I was young I thought everyone had a fucked up childhood

Boy was that an eye opener

Beans, rice, lentils, oat meal, almonds, some frozen mixed veggies, and some soy nuggets; that’s basically all I eat anymore due to the rising costs of food. And portion control as well because hot damn are costs flying up.

It’s dirt cheap and filling as hell, but damn do I miss going out to eat every weekend with the guys. We only go out once a month now and this last meet up we brought up not going out to eat but doing potlucks instead (which I’m down for for sure).

asymptomatic long-COVID

The hell even is that? Asymptomatic means no symptoms. Long-COVID isn’t a contagious thing, it’s literally a description of the symptoms you have from having COVID and the long term effects.

God that makes my freaking blood boil.

Damn @BigBenis@lemmy.world that was a hell of a conversation you we having.

Nah man, real men use butterflys.

The flapping of the wings creating turbulence creating small lenses to flip the bits manually.

Relevant XKCD

NGL though that feeling of scritching through your beard from the neck going up is bliss

Or that feeling when someone brushes your beard for you

Ah I miss my beard sometimes

Personally I just go with a wide curly handle bar mustache as I need to get a good seal on a respirator now kicks pebbles

I support the elimination of copyright in it’s current form

The way it was initially was fine IMO: 14 years, with an option to renew it at the end of those 14 years. ONCE.

Now in terms of patenting medications, if it was partially paid for with public money it’s the public’s patent. In other words it’s open for everyone. Made a new medication but took a government grant to help fund it? It’s public when it comes out, enjoy a nice hearty reward check for your efforts.

Don’t forget to donate to your favorite distro (and other open source projects) to help them keep the lights on.

Gotta do our part to fight the massive mega corps from devouring every aspect of our lives.

It captures them a shitton of data that they very likely sell or use to get advertisers on board.

Did you at least become Batman out of it?

By the time I noticed the typo in the image I had long since closed the tab where I put together the meme so I’d have to start over.

Kinda fun was that I posted this meme in a few places and it was only here in this thread where people pointed it out, it seems that a lot of people missed it lol

FFS I didn’t even notice the typo there lol

They were under 21 so it’s gotta be a rifle at the very least.

(Local gun laws in my neck of the woods say you gotta be 21 to get a handgun)

Only if the kid gets a gun too

This is America after all, they’ve got to open carry and drive everywhere otherwise it’s un-American activity. And we can’t have that.

Thank you for your service 🥂

Only if they chose not to compete

They only did the right thing after getting caught openly doing the wrong thing, so I’d say I’d still be pissed.

They should have never put the system in place with such a simple vulnerability (which to me) says they take such a laxodasical approach to security that I wouldn’t trust them even now.
