Please stop bringing this kind of crap into “uplifting news.”

This is objectively sad news. I’m not happy a kid isn’t getting supported by his teacher at school. While it’s probably good he was fired for it, it’s not what I’d call “uplifting” at all.

Lol I was JUST showing this to my wife and adding, and they use “aioli” on everything haha

My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it’s all downhill from here.

Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I’m pretty out of shape so I feel like I’m not “set up” yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I’m not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.

It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I’m not sure about the payoff (ROI).

Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don’t have anything to complain about, but I’m still kind of feeling like I’m about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I’m making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.

I don’t want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don’t have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)

Bahahaha $240/yr is beyond ludicrous. They should be paying us to use it lol.

Having no actual presence on social media

I’ve got some bad news for you…

Interesting. How do they pronounce father and bother? They are the same for me (a westerner).

Certain mispronunciations, such as when someone mispronounces “escape” as “excape,” “moot” as “mute,” “etcetera” as “excetera,” and finally “supposedly” as “supposably.”

This is why I almost exclusively listen to podcasts that are scripted, like casefile, freakonomics, this American life, radio lab, wait wait don’t tell me, etc.

Before this, all too often I would find myself listening to people aimlessly chatting about what they had for breakfast and such, and I realized those that scripted their episodes made for a tremendously better listening experience.

Look I’m all for trees and such, especially in urban environments, and I know it’s true that more foliage brings down the temperature compared to concrete jungles, but this is far from a guide, let alone a cool one. I’d call it a meme.

Things will be certifiably worse if you don’t.

“Scheduling”

I’m always a little surprised that people go to such effort to create a meme, but can’t be bothered to check their spelling.

Sync for Lemmy has a translation feature. You could try that.

Why abolish the word slave? I’ve heard of people advocating for abolishing the word “black” also. It’s crazy to me. I don’t understand how using the word at all somehow advocates for human slavery.

We give out Fireball shots to parents of our trick-or-treaters. We go through about two handles-worth (3.5L). It’s way more popular than I thought it would be!
