Ok, to get this straight: cops do not need to protect, nor serve, and doctors do not need to save your life. I suppose life guards will get to decide whether or not they will grab a drowning child. Maybe the bathing suit is distasteful? If someone is in the street, I don't have to stop unless I am fully comfortable doing so; I paid for my car and I shouldn't have to risk damaging it by running someone over.

What are regulations even for? God, the government is so useless!

Lemmy is your chance to have a discussion without the needless hostility that Reddit et al has. Maybe try saying "I actually find it quite convenient, here's why" etc

Not to be rude, but it's actually "play it by ear". I'm trying to come up with something witty to say, but I'm dropping a blank.

Youthful me, up for anything : shit, I'll have what she's having! Deeply depressed me in the world today : dang, and she wasn't even on drugs..

Anyone who earns any portion of income by hanging shit on my doorknob.

We will be remembered for being on the right side of history, just wait and see!

This is a broad format, but I like the American English formula of "Well, blank my blank and call me a blank!" to express "oh wow, I did not expect that!"

Typically in my experience, it is pretty vulgar. Eg: "well, slap my ass and call me a bitch!"

This is incredible. I've had 2 friends grow up with one of their parents suffering through MS. It is one of the cruelest diseases I've ever seen. Imagine eradicating it! I get bummed out nonstop... but, this is truly a giant step forward.

I feel like lawyers in a high profile case will make sure every single penny is squeezed out of her until she dies

At least I hope so.

Damn, the shooter took that bullet casing to the face pretty well

Nah dude both sides are gross y'know?

It's best for everyone that we just accept that they are two different pizza concepts, and should not be ranked between each other.

Lockheed Martin: JEEZ NASA it was just the ONE time!!!

When I said that to my dog, she just repeated it back at me, but with this mocking, high pitched tone... not gonna lie, my feelings were hurt.

I did NOT expect the comments to be so divisive on this

Please put the phone down or give me a doll

I am sorry, I don't usually correct people but Hippocrates has me rolling. I think you mean hypocrites!

I have given it a 2nd-3rd-4th go, each time with a new friend who hasn't yet seen it. And, no joke, I still pick up on a TON of details I've missed before. It's just... so good

"But we don't allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft."

Aaah, so the problem is drunk pilots. I can get behind a two-drink maximum for flying a plane. Although, in "Flight" the guy flew a plane upside down hammered...so maybe it should be a two-drink minimum to get maximum innovation.

ETA: I prob should have added /s

I am sure you are fine, and have never supported bad legislation like this. I think that the biggest complaint I've seen for old cis white males is their ability to claim victimhood when they are at the top of the pyramid, and to make everything about themselves if you can believe it

Fun fact: that famous "eagle screech" is actually a recording of a Red-Tailed Hawk.

Eagles sound like fucking idiots in real life

I honestly can't choose between Alien and The Shining. Honorable mentions to My Neighbor Totoro and Dumb and Dumber. Shit, now I have four movies to watch this weekend

ALLEGEDLYS!

Circuit Bending!!! Moreso, just broad "soldering" representation; places for unique soldering projects. Soldering hacks, solder jobs to brag about, beginners tips etc. Would be cool to have niches within the community too for different "soldering genres" like circuit bending

Divorce her immediately.

Well shit, I loved the pun chains!
