NO!!! it was the Bastard Biden all along! He also single-handedly made the gas prices go UP!!! It had NOTHING to do with OPEC, petroleum companies, and an unstable economy! I SAW THE EXECUTIVE ORDER IN MY DREAMS! (/¯ ಠ_ಠ)/¯

When camping, late at night, a buddy told another one of my buddies:

“If you can see my face, I can’t see anything”.

I thought it was hilarious and concise and it still sticks with me. If your flashlight is illuminating someone’s face, they are being blinded!

This one’s done to death, but kCups.

Also, plastic water bottles.

A more novel pick would be those plastic ez floss picks.

Does playing devils advocate really make you an asshole?

You can say just about anything with the correct phrasing and it can come off polite.

It is absolutely sarcasm!

According to my rural-raised coworker, that submersible implosion was apparently a conspiracy.

According to him, The people aboard the sub came up with a plan to escape their debt. There was nobody aboard the submarine, and it was designed to implode as a permanent diversion.

Ukraine has been calling for this since the start of the war.

I understand the political minefield this war poses, but I cannot help but recall the countless lives lost in the trenches before this decision was finally made.

If the US had begun this process sooner, is it not likely that the situation would be much different now?

My first planetary landing in Elite:Dangerous was something to behold.

I don’t see the announcement

Mouth breathers, but only when you can hear the airflow.

Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.

Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!

I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.

Not much to report on here… until you can explain why the wing snapped.

They still suffer from a corporate mindset, unfortunately. Salvation Army, too, although that’s not mentioned here.

In order to manipulate objects with telekinesis, you sever the link between the object and the earths gravitational pull.

Every object you use your power on now has the ability to drift and float away if not strapped down.

This includes, but is not limited to: people, animals, and buildings.

What makes you think they are?

Video airplay is just inherently flawed, it seems.

I dug into some forums to try and find a solution to this, and I was able to find a few theories, none of which completely alleviated the issue for me.

Most of them centered around the wifi signal.

If you have a lot of other devices pinging Wi-Fi between your phone and the TV, this can allegedly cause disconnects and de-syncs.

If your wifi is slow, this can allegedly cause disconnects and de-syncs.

If you live in an apartment and your wifi channel is being hugged by other residents, this can allegedly cause disconnects.

I want to re-enforce the notion that none of this fixed the issue for me, but it might be worth going through the motions to see if it does for you, because some people were saying they had success after addressing these issues.

For streaming off of sites, I have actually had resounding success using my LG tv’s web browser. Connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The browser actually has a built in adblocker. You still have to deal with link redirects occasionally though.

What are the possible benefits of an integrated system as opposed to a removable one? That, will be the deciding factor, I think.

The aforementioned comment was not sarcasm!

I've got a good one for you.

If all you want is the really juicy stuff, skip down to the last paragraph. I think it's better with the exposition, though. I've also put a TL;DR at the bottom.

Two weeks before I moved in to my room, Ii received a message from one of my suitemates (I had contacted all of my room/suitemates before moving in, because I'm all about establishing relationships). The contents of this message were short, vague, and cryptic; all it said was "Check your roommates insta". Initially, I assumed my suitemate saw something funny: Cringy selfies, chain posts, or the like. While what I found on his page was funny to a degree, it was none of the aforementioned things. It was hentai.

There was so much of it, and it went on for so long, I was blown away. Visions of Anime Posters covering the walls raced through my head, and so too did the thought of him enjoying and posting these pictures. (with over 22,000 posts, he puts a new image up around every 3 hours).

As move-in day arrived, I was overtaken with a morbid curiosity. What did this kid look like? Upon arriving, I opened the door to our room to be greeted by the one and only Hentai God. At first, his appearance was nothing out of the ordinary, just an African-American 18yo.

What quickly came to my attention, however, is that while the Hentai God did in fact work out, he only worked his arms. This led to a stature that can best be described as resembling that of Larry from SpongeBob. There's nothing particularly wrong with that, but I would think that if you put that much effort into your arms you would at least develop a little bit of upper body strength in other areas.

There's more to my roommate than enjoying hentai and being topheavy, though; He will wait to go to bed until I arrive, sitting in his rolly chair and staring at the door. He'll record me doing mundane things and put them on his snapchat story without asking me or even making it remotely clear I was ever being recorded. He'll talk to himself, often repeating the same few words over and over again for up to an hour. He'll listen to the same song day in and day out, making cryptic hand gestures while he listens. Sometimes he even breathes as one snores while he's awake. I talked to my RA, and he says that despite all these things he cannot move me to another room because dorms are "past full capacity". Wish me luck, everybody.

TL;DR Roommate loves Hentai and almost has me convinced he's mentally insane.

What made you think that comment was necessary?

Can someone with larger nads than I please scan the QR code and unveil its secrets?

I swear people on 4chan speak a different language. I can never follow what’s going on on that site and it makes me feel like a dirty diaper trying to decipher their hyper-online dialect.

Nothing wrong with it, but I’m biased

Tarantino has some great films. Kill Bill is overrated though. The first half is competent, but the second half is just too goofy.

These opossum memes are incredible. I haven’t enjoyed memes this much in years!

No confirmation, but whoever is writing the stories (yes, a lot of organizations) might have ulterior motives in covering it.

Pontification aside, he’s really just wondering if some Uber-conservatives disregard the etymology and jump to the conclusion stated in his post.

What a fall from grace.

Hard to hear, especially after dumping so much into acquisitions. What will happen to everything under their umbrella?

I have things configured inverse to the way you do; upvotes and downvotes appear as two separate values next to all comments and posts for me.

I prefer this, because it allows me to get a more refined look at my fellow lemmy users palate for content.

DAE think that Brotato is overrated? It’s got no variety

But they can’t do that without someone to push their agenda!

I’ve always called it “woshushtustuh” sauce

I can’t help but feel pity when I see a child or teenager up to their waist in materialism and appearances.

Some day, many of those children will have a brutal awakening when the realize that they can’t live the way they did growing up forever.
