Rock and roll existed independently of Elvis. The Cult of Trump doesn’t exist without Trump. When he dies, they’ll all scramble for that power. They’re already fighting each other for a scrap of attention from daddy trump

I don’t know when that was taken, but God damn that’s the most 80s looking photo I’ve ever seen

Hope you guys had a good time in Nashville! Sorry if you got stuck in that crypto conference traffic!

He’s just like us 🥺

Just think, that kid likely wore that shirt to be funny in front of a dozen or so classmates.

However long later, now it’s online being shown to millions of people

I found a 10 pack of 10mm once. Bought it immediately thinking I’d never need another 10.

That was 5 years ago. I have 2 left…

Fair enough. Guys comment read like a bot

Oh please tell me someone had the grindr sound go off during the RNC

I hate cars, but I hate getting stuck behind the Amish even more. Doesn’t mean they need to get hit by cars, but their religion is fucked up to a degree most people don’t realize, especially when it comes to women.

Those buggies are straight up hazardous to people, including the people driving them

Once you’re at this level, you’re looking to get improvements of a fraction of a percentage. I don’t know the specifics cause I’m not a pro shooter despite being American, but from other high level skill people I know, you hit a point where improvements basically plateau and you have to resort to increasingly niche products to obtain non skill improvements. If you want proof of that, check out calligraphy and fountain pen communities. The amount of money some people spend on things I didn’t know existed is wild.

(No bad judgement to those folks, I’ve gotten hard into map making and 3d printing lately, so I’m right behind you)

It irritates me to no end that it loops right before she says the last word

More of the “come and play with me in the sewers” kind lately

I shut down every subreddit I modded permanently and was publicly screaming “fuck reddit” and “fuck spez” until the last minute.

Still got an IPO invite I ignored and even a mod meetup invite

The super racist one my dad used to say is

eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Catch a [slur for black people] by his toe

If he hollers let him go

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

Happens to men too unfortunately.

Went into the hospital last year in extreme pain between my chest and abdomen. This is the exact pain both my mother and father felt before their gallbladders had to be rapidly extracted.

Now, when I say pain, I fucking mean pain. They were giving me crazy amounts of high strength pain killers and they were lasting for more minutes. Then they prescribed me something and discharged me. Next day I’m back and worse than ever, so they finally admit me and assign me to the surgeon.

Man comes in immediately acting like I’m just here seeking drugs. I’m reeling in pain and we’re all explaining what’s happening. Dick head refused to do any tests, he just wanted to wait me out, so the bastard puts me on a no food, no liquids diet, so now I get to sit there and suffer in pain while also being incredibly thirsty and hungry.

Next day’s Saturday. I’m still in pain and I’ve heard nothing from the surgeon. I’m doing everything short of getting on my knees and begging for water. Still no tests. Still won’t take me off the diet.

Next, we threaten to leave and seek care elsewhere. The patient advocate comes in and we explain what’s been happening. They’re clearly shocked by his behavior, but can’t say much. So, without warning, she calls the surgeons personal number and puts him on speaker. We can all hear him out on a boat doing God knows what instead of testing me. So I go nuclear and loudly proclaim that he had better get his ass off that boat or the next phone call will be from my lawyer.

Within the hour I’m finally getting my blood drawn and tested.

The next morning, I still haven’t seen the surgeon. I’m woken up at 6am by a nurse telling me I have surgery in an hour. Turns out some levels were so high that they had to call in an emergency surgery team to do exactly what I had told this Dr. Cox wannabe dick head two days earlier.

Basically, the surgeon was content to let me lay there and die to prove I was drug seeking.

I honestly should’ve looked into malpractice suits, cause I’m still experiencing tons of issues a year later

I mean, I’d be extremely concerned if she didn’t

The one thing tankies and I agree on is that some people (only adults) deserve a little bullying. Especially these sorry little egotistical Republicans

Oh hey I just had to learn about this!

Do any lemmy users in Europe wanna let me crash on their couch? I’m a decent cook! Please, I need out of this hellscape

Just make it not legal for third party hardware vendors to sell computers with pre-installed operating systems

As the “local IT guy”, please no. Please. I have better things to do than to babysit a windows installation every single time someone buys a new computer.

Plus, having to buy a windows licence on top of already expensive laptops will just drive us faster into the tablet driven hellscape I fear is coming.
