I don't usually pay attention to whichever instance I've drifted into from all, so if you see me in a weird place, that's why!

  • This needs to go to flippanarchy.

  • I will never understand cat people

    Jump

  • I just got Hello Kitty Island Adventure and I want to get Pompompurin's Mom and Dad to visit but they need so much stuff I don't have yet!!

  • I will never understand cat people

    Jump

  • I want to put food in my mouth. It's okay if the food is shaped in pleasing ways, but there's nothing 'pleasing' to me about tiny assholes or fake poop. Hard. Pass.

    Did you see the Spy x Family movie? Why was there a like, 2 minute short in the middle about the God of Poo? The world is strange and inscrutable.

  • I will never understand cat people

    Jump

  • You can use this to blame cat people, but this is just a class of people obsessed with buttholes and poo. I'm remembering a post a while back where someone had made a little dog bun, and if you pressed down on it, chocolate came out of it's butthole. Nasty.

    Edit: Pic is the first thing I got off google typing in 'dog bun you press that has chocolate come out.' Obviously this wasn't the same thing I was talking about but I refuse to search further.

  • If real-life had D&D stats, what would yours look like? Would you focus new points on any in particular?

    Jump

  • I wish we could trade. I'd give you some CHA if it meant I could stop injuring myself.

  • I need to start teaching "Charisma for the Neurologically Atypical" classes.

  • insert title here

    Jump

  • The boyfriend saw a video of a Michelin star chef preparing the ramen he prefers best, and it's a package of champagetti and a package of shin and I gotta tell you... Fucking delicious.

  • How many hours of deep work/deep focus a day is doable and sustainable?

    Jump

  • 3 to 4 hours of focus on anything, every single day is so unthinkable to me I can't even.

    Even when I take my ADHD meds I don't get those kind of numbers! Jesus. Maybe don't feel like your existence needs to be justified by constant, sustained effort that can be measured? Sounds really stressful.

  • I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right?

    Jump

  • You really, really, really need to see women as people-who-might-be-friends, and not exclusively as fuck objects.

  • One of us!

  • Welcome to our instance GenP!

    Jump

  • Yeah, but they're also refugees. They probably have their own culture and lingo, and even if they didn't, I support making them comfortable until they're naturalized.

  • Welcome to our instance GenP!

    Jump

  • The subreddit for r/GenP was shut down, and their users were being directed here.

    That's what this post says anyway.

    I hadn't heard of genp until that post, but since they're pirates, they're welcome on dbzer0, the instance for pirates and anarchists.

    Stop dividing the left!

    Jump

  • This is why I love lemmy.

    I get all angry on someone's comment, and someone else has already made my point, and better. We're even doing mutual aid in comments!

    Why is math a hard subject for most people?

    Jump

  • I can't speak to most people but I have dyscalculia.

  • Why doesn't the Linux subreddit leave Reddit already?

    Jump

  • That's why I said it might have something to do with who you're around.

  • What would you like to be when you grow up?

    Jump

  • Who would listen to him? He wouldn't know if he was coming or going without observing red-shift or blue-shift.

  • What's the point in getting married?

    Jump

  • Glad you mentioned 'next of kin.' This is the important answer. If you're married, you can do all that important legal stuff- make medical decisions if your partner is unconscious or indisposed, get the death certificate if that happens and give it to all the people who will need it.

    Say your partner is in a car accident and you go to the hospital. There's no marriage, no forms, no nothing to indicate you're at all related to this person. You're just some dude or lady, showing up at some dude or lady's bedside. You can't make the decisions for this person. Even if, say, they have a horrible narcissistic mother they're estranged from- that mother, just by being the mother, can get all the authority to make decisions your unconscious partner would hate!

    (Drawing from my own life. Fuck my mother.)

    You can't even call the hospital and get information on them. If they aren't awake to indicate a release of information, the hospital can't let you see them, can't tell you anything.

    This is just the first example that came to mind. The purpose of marriage is, it's a legal way to indicate that you're the most important person in the life of the person you marry. (And yes, depending on where you are and laws in your state or country or whatever, domestic partnership and other stuff can grant that, too.)

  • This is so weird to me. Maybe it's about who you are, or who you run with, but when I saw that Discord was about to go that way, I messaged my Pathfinder group and every single person there immediately hit me back with, "so where to next?"

  • "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign used unlicensed font

  • I would download your car, not because I need one, but just to seed it.
