The concept of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”

There’s no nuance from the left. The left polices itself like the radical right thinks they (the party of law and order) do.

Had a podcaster get dropped by their long time partner because there were lewd text messages sent.

I’m tired of the reactionary bullshit, currently Dawkins and Gaiman are being dropped, and I understand not wanting to associate/support Dawkins’ current views, the guy wrote very persuasive works that shouldn’t lose value because he lost his empathy.

I still read and enjoy enders game despite knowing what a tool Card turned into, how is it so difficult to separate art from the artist?

Going to doubt this one.

Trump is Putin’s ally. America is not Trump.

Analytical chemist,

Same here!! Why don’t they dim with the rest of the dashboard lights??

It’s almost to the point I’m putting some electrical tape over them. Can’t wait to have a car with self dimming lights, then I’ll tape over it and keep them toggled on forever without worries

Not being able to see at night when the lights turn off

Injuries take longer to recover from

Headlights in the opposite direction cause troubles

Dashboard indicators (like high beams) are much brighter, annoyingly so.

You can observe the chirality of some molecules from the crystals they form, sometimes they twist clockwise, other times they twist counter clockwise. Which way they twist is dependent on their molecular structure.

The air force isn’t bombing Canadian cities, GTFO with that.

Unlike Ukraine Canada has nukes, so yeah…

Doesn’t hurt to talk to someone about it, maybe you’ve aged out of it, maybe it’s slowly manifesting itself in a different way, there are professionals that can tell the difference.

Nobody is going to hold a young adult accountable for minor things they did as a child, especially not a psychiatrist. It’s better to get checked when you have the awareness that something night not have been right, because when things are very wrong you won’t have the desire to get checked.

Could that monkey see my ears? I wonder to myself

Or, I wonder to myself ‘could that monkey see my ears?’ (maybe not ', maybe a comma? But anything is better than it imo)

I can see you! Near the top of my lemmy.world feed (I believe, I’m pretty new to all this as well)

Congratulations on getting your instance up!

Yours is the first post I’ve seen (using sync) that has over 100% upkicks.

Congratulations for breaking the system!

In theory it keeps your business card elevated / near the top, and has more volume to be grabbed from.

I’ve only done it the one time (genuinely), maybe they were giving cookware to everyone from that morning as a show of appreciation or to make them feel special, maybe it was just luck of the draw and I’m batting 1000 in business card raffles, maybe I’m only remembering my successes (I don’t think I am), or maybe it actually worked? The mystery of 100% success makes for the better story, so I deliberately stopped the practice.

(Also I have a way to always walk out of a casino with more money than you walked in with, not significant life changing amounts of money, but enough for dinner and drinks, but I like to tell people (genuinely) I’ve never walked out of a casino with less than I walked in with, the trick is to go to the concierge desk, tell them it’s your first time there, give them your name and address as verification it’s your first time there, they’ll give you house money, ever time you hit take the money out (it takes from your winnings before taking from the house money), at the end of the night compare how much you walked away with from how much house money they gave you, and that’s how much you’d have been down of your own money, my best is about 90% of the house money I put in as cash in my pocket, me and 3 friends did this and walked out with 150$ from nothing but a little time invested, the “real” gamblers hated being behind us as we checked out dozens of winning slips each)

My wife and I did part of our gift registry at ‘crate and barrel’, they had a business card pot to have a drawing from for some cookware, I had just gotten my first business cards, and remembered a tip I’d read about bending/creasing the business card in half before dropping it in. I tried it and we won a 4 quart ‘le cruset’ sauce pot. It’s the most expensive piece of cookware we have, and it’s amazing. I haven’t used that trick since then, partially out of guilt, partially out of being 1 for 1 on business card draws.

Seems like that flag breaks a commandment or two. But I don’t expect anyone to have actually read the damned things
