TELEKINESIS, BROTHER! AROOOOO!

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Lemmy is an anus of a platform filled with lunatics.

Given that you think Putin is promising people immortality, I doubt it.

I’m not entirely certain you’re thinking straight. You’re coming off a little unhinged.

Age and maturity are not the same thing.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Yeah, in a nutshell…

And that’s an overwhelmingly good thing. The nut jobs and extremists are looking for an excuse to start shit but (as you correctly stated) lack the resolve to finish shit. They want to do a little political violence to feel enfranchised and like they have some control, but they’re not ready to give up everything for a cause. This makes them particularly dangerous.

The real bulwark against government fuckery is the people you don’t hear about: normal folks who happen to have guns. It would take actual, serious grievances against large swathes of the population to make them do something. Because that much larger (and more ideologically diverse) cohort isn’t champing at the but for a fight they haven’t lied to themselves about being able to maintain a normal life and therefore wouldn’t start one lightly. That’s pretty boring, so you only hear about the weirdos.

It is, but teenagers and the emotionally stunted fall into it so they can feel superior.

It’s basically a diet conspiracy theory. It lets adherents think they’re special and have figured something out that regular people didn’t. That’s a lot more comforting than realizing they’re just regular people because they aren’t mature enough to see obscurity as a good thing.

I had no idea Rodney Dangerfield was playing such a key role in the South China Sea.

No, only in elementary schools.

What they’re getting confused about is that a lot of architecture firms that design prisons also design high schools because - shockingly - both of those institutions are designed around moving large numbers of people to different areas throughout the day.

My high school was designed by one of those firms and it wasn’t weird. You could see it in the little details, though. There were exactly two places in any of the hallways where you couldn’t see a clock, so nobody could say they ran late because they didn’t know what time it was. The architects just decided where they would place cameras in a prison and swapped them out for digital clocks.

Take your meds, dude.

Cones of Dunshire.

Okay, you asked for it. Here you go, served hot and fresh from the American Kennel Club:

https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/finnish-lapphund/#:~:text=Nutrition,nutrients the Finnish Lapphund needs.

“A high-quality dog food appropriate to the dog’s age (puppy, adult, or senior) will have all the nutrients the Finnish Lapphund needs. Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Give table scraps sparingly, if at all, especially avoiding cooked bones.”

Not only is your dog not some kind of special, mythical creature - you should be making sure it can’t access bones. Hopefully next time you’ll learn to keep your trap shut before you start saying dumb shit in public.

“Trust me, bro”.

Maybe talk to a vet or do some reading to verify literally anything a Lemmy user says. I’ve encountered more lunatics here than anywhere else and OP thinks his dog is magic and can only eat frozen foods.

Just sayin.

Nothing is stopping them from doing it, which is why when the cops get a report of someone pointing a gun at people they have no choice but to assume it’s real (unless it’s obviously shaped like a super soaker). If the person training their gun-shaped object on passersby points the gun at the cops they usually get shot because the cops aren’t willing to bet their life that it’s not some asshole who put orange acrylic paint on the tip of a real gun.

There are some hobbyists that paint their guns to look like a Nerf gun or a Nintendo gun controller. The general consensus is “it would be stupid to take this out anywhere other than the range”. This is much less common than the opposite: toy or pellet guns that look very realistic.

I think what they mean is that music has a wider range where it’s still “functional” for most people. Basically, more liberties can be taken with music than with storytelling mediums without people rejecting it.

I heard about her video on fucking NPR. Seriously.

All Things Considered did a little piece talking about how long form video essays are becoming more popular, but they concluded by saying that she did a bang-up job and had some good insights.

It’s not a standing ovation, but having NPR run a story on your video and compliment your coverage is pretty damn skippy.

Boneappletea

Here’s a joke for you: A man is ROWING down a RIVER. He gets to the waterfall, and when the goes over the edge he yells “RADIO!!!”

So did I just disrespect you and waste your time, or do I get a pass because it’s so random and it subverts your expectations of how a joke could be structured?

Being weird, or quirky, or SuBveRtInG eXpEcTatiONs doesn’t give anybody a pass for their creations not working on a basic level.
