Ive noticed it a lot more on here.

Like there was a thread about real world uses for “A.I” and I said that its perfect for traffic management which triggered someone who went on a huge rant about carcentric cities and how we need to have more public transport and cars arent the answer. Like ok, I dont disagree but thats not really related to the question at all.

Lemmy has a REALLY bad problem with people who dont actually read comments and process them. They skim read the post, see a few keywords and then argue the point that they want to argue regardless of what the original comment was.

If you re-read the comment that you replied to first that there is a community of people who believe absolute bullshit which you deny in your reply to their comment but then admit they do in mine by refering to them as “extremists”

Doctors not taking health complaints of people who are carrying an excess of adipose tissue is a real thing, but so are people who refuse to accept that their weight is the root cause of many of their issues and do body positivity a disservice when they do

No theres absolutely people who believe that shit. Same as people who believe that Trump has all the answers, Jews are the problem and flat earth. The “fat acceptance”, “body shaming” and “body positivity” movements have legitimate positive roots but have also been co-opted by people who just want their bullshit view to be right.

Take “Healthy at every size” for example. You can have excellent cardiovascular fitness, great bloodwork and your weight isnt the cause of any health maladies but at some point at a certain body fat/muscle ratio (too high or low) is going to start to reduce the probablility of that being the case and people use these edge cases to justify their opinion. Look at Eddie Hall “worlds strongest man” he weighs 355lbs and over 6 foot tall, I havent seen his bloodwork but people will hold him up as an example that you can weigh 350+ but I also bet he doesnt need a scooter to get around wallmart.

There isnt an ideology or behavior on earth that cant be taken to a toxic place.

“You may have a warrant and legally be allowed to enter, I’m not stopping you in any way but I do not consent to the search.”

Vamipre Cop gets bitched out by the Lt for not executing the search.

Yeah this drives me insane too.

Dont have a timer if its guessing

I dont remember when but the printer was an evil demon sent from hell, then all of a sudden printers just got good.

I cant remember what the last serious issue I had with a printer was.

I once made “Povery rolls”

I took every last scrap of leftover food, all the half bags of frozen veggies and so on from the freezer. Defrosted it all, put it in a stock pot and cooked it till it was a thick stew moved it to a giant bowl and went buck wild with the electric mixer then threw in about 4kg of self raising flour and water. The dough tasted ok, but then I did the same thing with the spice rack… stock cubes, french soup mix… the works. They tasted odd. But I rested the dough, divided them up and baked them anyways.

Fuuuuuuuck they were amazing. They tasted like a family sunday roast dinner flavored heavy doughy roll. It made about 50 of them. I scoured the house for change and found enough to go grab a decent sized packet of powdered gravy mix.

I was genuinely sad when I used the last ones.

I dry nori sheets out, crush them up and put them in an old pepper mill. Few grinds into a bowl of tuna and rice with a splash of soy and its a ghetto sushi bowl.

Heh, I do now. Dudes pretty entertaining.

If I were rich Id open a “Nerd-pub” board games, tabletop games, arcade machines, pool tables, pinball machines…

If I were just “doing ok” id probably start a youtube channel buying really cheap cars of FB marketplace and just reviewing how much of a piece of shit I’ve bought this month.

I go with “Are you a professional fuckwit or is it just a hobby?” But its really the same joke.

A lot of reply paid stuff for large corporations is calculated on weight not on item count, depending on the sorting system used by the country/region in question so this might work sometimes but it depends on a lot of variables.

A metal handle doesnt burn or melt.

Friendly reminder.

Make sure that you use a box with no identifying information. Scribbling out the barcodes isnt enough.

Mailing restrictions still apply. Mailing them back rotting fish or potentially hazardous materials is a federal offence.

Mailing any kind of threat is also against the law.

It annoys me because you are forcing me to decipher what you’re telling me because you feel like being an annoying cunt.

Also adding “Innit” to the end of every sentence is the british version of “nowhatahmsain” for americans and “Aye” for Australians and just makes me think you are stupid.

Just to throw this in. If you use this, check your voicemails.

I often have to call customers to check ambiguities in their orders and people just dont return calls. Our contracts clearly state that in the event that you cant be contacted we arent responsible for any errors.

Yes, thats what the very next sentence of my post was getting it.

Thank the both of you for summing up my point better than I did.
