Yeah I was trying to shoehorn a joke that because I wrote it on Lemmy, it is now property of the Lemmy, but as I tend to do with most things in life, I half-assed it. Whole ass next time.

Any words you use on TripAdvisor are the property of TripAdvisor.

-Lemmy, apparently.

Because they’re dumb. Going through boot camp, you constantly heard “Don’t get married.” What do dudes do? Get married to the first girl they meet when they arrive at their duty station (after they buy a truck obviously). They then deploy, workup is three months, home for a few, then seven months in country. And meanwhile your wife is at home, you’ve known her for a cup of coffee, and she’s like “Shit, I don’t know how to be alone.”

Yeah, Jersey is nicely blued, but beholden to big pharma, and I think messing with healthcare hits too close to home. Governor race is next year though and so hopefully this issue stays hot.

The Dong of Rudolph.

Only thing I’ll disagree with is they’re not ripping off the rich, because it doesn’t matter to the rich. They’re killing the middle class though, but that is the way it’s been and the way it will continue to be. You will either be rich (haha, jk) or poor, and that’s the end game.

99% of the State of New York is nothing. NYC and Philadelphia belong in NJ, they each have a lot more in common with Jersey than they do their respective states.

Northeast + West Coast and Everywhere Else.

Hopefully America isn’t contagious.

And jokes aside, the sentiment here in America seems to be people have had enough of this shit. I went for my annual physical, my insurance covers it. But I was given a paper to sign that says if I mention something ailing me to my doctor that it may turn into a sick visit and be billed accordingly.

I am very fortunate, I make decent money, my wife has insurance for us, and so when my doc said “Do you want vitamin D screening in your blood work? It will cost extra.” I was able to say yes. And that’s a minor issue, but there are people barely scraping by, they think they’re okay because they have insurance, and then to be told this visit will cost you more money if you say you’re unwell? Get the fuck out of here.

I love my wife and my kids to the end of the world, but I can’t imagine my mindset if I’m some single dude, at this point. How much are they going to push people? Thoughts and prayers to the difference makers out there is all I can do unfortunately.

Yeah, I’m all for Australia style banning to kids, however that gets implemented, but this is slippery slope and all that. But hey, maybe not, maybe it’s the only time they do it.

And if someone doesn’t pay the fee, perhaps theyre at risk of fire.

That is funny, and sounds like it’d be pretty expensive. I actually didn’t encounter this fortunately, because I was already costing my parents a fortune because I just couldn’t stay under 300 texts a month.

I’d have Ask Jeeves, Hotbot, and Yahoo opened when I was trawling the Internet for porn while my parents were out for 30m when I was 14 years old. There were always substantially different results, though somehow they always ended up the same: with me infecting my parents’ computer with some shit. Let’s say I did a lot of learning from my mistakes.

People should be allowed to do as they please. I think, however, people should be presented with all the potential risks in very clear language if they’re going to, in the same way a pack of cigarettes has a warning, access to social media should present similar disclaimers.

My brother and I split the SNES when it came out (presumably with money our parents gave us because we were just kids), but he got gifted Super Mario RPG. And he held that shit over my head, and we didn’t get a long, and he never let me play, and so it kinda solidified itself as my favorite game of all time, because it had this forbidden nature for me.

Putting all that aside, it was just a well made game, great pacing, great mechanics. I got the Switch version and I’m hoping to get my kids into it, but it’s hard to compete with the looks of modern games, especially since my kids are young.

Ess Ness was always my silly way of pronouncing it, because there’s Ness, for N-E-S, and if you add an S, it’s S-Ness.

HOAs exist is a way toaintain shared services; i.e. insurances, utilities and roads, most importantly, but also things like clubhouses. Shit like this comes secondary.

When I’m “computering” for efficiency, I don’t take my hands off the keyboard. Half of my job is on a standard keyboard, and so familiarizing myself with all the shortcuts and whatnot saves a lot of time versus having to travel back and forth to a mouse or track pad.

When I am just satisfying the dopamine urges, it’s mouse all the way.

Thanks, thought I was going … bananas.

You made me reread the post looking for any there, their, of even they’re.
