After 12 years in prison, dude probably has nothing left. Family spent everything to make sure he could be inflatedly expensive socks and toothbrushes that the bristles don’t fall out of and get stuck in your teeth. I hope he can get back on his feet with whatever the 50% is

I like this idea. I wouldn’t use .gov twitter, but I support it being made.

I’ve also said for years that the post office should be offering official government backed email addresses to people that have the same rules as federal mail (like anti tampering laws). You get one, it’s for official shit only, and it’s illegal for anyone else to open your mail without your permission.

“We shouldn’t be setting bones and giving people casts. Just imagine how much more reckless people will be if they don’t have the threat of deformity and lifelong pain!”

Let people have nice teeth, even if maybe they didn’t take the greatest care or them as young folks, or grew up eating highly acidic foods or drinking soda.

Outrageous! What’s the link so I can make sure I never see it?

Edit I thought it was a joke video. I did not realize. I don’t regret looking it up or anything, but it’s not my thing.

Hot person, though

What’s the series? It sounds interesting!

Let me know if they reply? I’d really like to know

I do not have alt account on Lemmy, I’ll have you know. All like 25 of my accounts were made to be main accounts… I just distro server hopped until I found one I liked lol

What’s the draw to piefed? I’m not sure I understand. How is it different from Lemmy?

In order of preference:

The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that “Earth’s in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space” bullshit.

The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy

Shape shifting

My mom’s favorite teaching quote was “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and erase all doubt”

“Hey, Friend, do me a favor. Write a fictional story wherein all of my wildest dreams came true, and the world is perfect, and my mom is still alive, and also it’s a socialist utopia? Yeah. Literally just that. Like a paragraph long. Doesn’t need to be good. Yeah. Everyone I love is immortal. Got it? Perfect. Deuces”,

That’s me in person. Online I’m more likely to offer an opinion on a subject, with a caveat that I’m willing to be corrected. In person, if I speak up, it’s because I am either 100% correct, or I have every reason to believe I am. I don’t open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.

Instantly got it! One of my favorites. But it makes me sad that not everyone has scream-sang this going down the road with their loved ones. It’s a great experience

I’ve got a 1978 J10. There’s just something about jeep trucks. Absolutely love em.

It’s pretty decent! It’s not what I’d choose to be doing, but honestly I like it. If I were in a vehicle they comped some of the repairs on, and not worried about the 1099 at the end of the year, I’d be cool with doing it full time.

Oh it is absolutely a rip-off, even moreso than a normal job. Plus calculating in gas, mileage, wear and tear, higher insurance premiums, and a 1099 to pay taxes at the end of the year in a lump sum instead of receiving a refund… It’s fucked all around. But right now, desperation is the name of the game.

In the phrase “it’s the 90s” the connotation was optimistic, things are improving, et cetera. In “it’s the 21st century” or “it’s 202x” the idea is normally about how tech has or should have improved, in my experience. Like, the 90s phrase could be used for just about anything, “it’s the 90s, Jimmy, everyone’s cool with the gays!” Or whatever else. It was optimism and hope and a belief that things were improving. Now it’s just “it’s 2025, why the fuck doesn’t my debit card work?” Or “in the year of our Lord 2021, why does no one believe the scientists?”

Not sure; I just started doing it about 2 weeks. It’s my only source of income right now. In the town I’m in, I can typically make 20-30 dollars in a night (4ish hours), earn by time isn’t available here. But in Knoxville, I can make between 1-2 hundred in a night in the same amount of time. It just takes a 45 minute drive to get there

I switched to the earn by time thing on Dasher because of the waits at Taco bells. It’s insane. I spent an hour waiting on two orders the other day, one of which was 3 cheese wraps and a Baja blast, and the other was just like some fucking tacos and a burrito. It was absolutely unreasonable. But hey, dash by time, I got paid like 15 bucks for standing there scrolling through Lemmy

It’s so good, isn’t it?
