This was a great way to write out the feelings I had. Just so wholesome

I detest dress codes, just let people wear what they want. You wanna wear jeans? Go ahead. Shorts? Fine. A nice suit? Go for it.

Stacy’s Mom in my ass

I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but this article lacks any context and makes some assumptions about malicious intent. Are these the only articles removed, or did they purge a bunch of articles from two decades ago? Maybe these articles were stored in a legacy database and someone finally decided to clean it up, then the media is twisting it into “they’re changing history!”

(Disclaimer: I’m speculating heavily here given my lack of context, so these may very well have been removed on purpose due to their content)

I suppose if those plant-based diets were based on peer-reviewed scientific studies and shown to cause no nutritional, physical, or mental harm to the animals then it wouldn’t be animal abuse. But I haven’t seen the threads so I’m assuming that wasn’t the case.

For Christmas I bought a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, carefully unwrapped each one, replaced them with brussel sprouts, and wrapped them back up. My wife’s reaction was priceless as she went from pure joy at the gift to absolute horror. Of course after we had a laugh I got out the container of chocolates and gave them to her (they’re her favourite).

Should be more like, “teaching to question authority instead of blindly accepting it”

My dad doesn’t drink alcohol, but is one of these people. He drinks coffee pretty much exclusively, it’s rare to see him with even a cup of water or anything else. He falls asleep on his couch with an empty coffee mug sitting beside him all the time.

I go there still when I want product recommendations that aren’t full of marketing/ads. If I use a search engine to search for example, “dashcam recommendations,” I get a million results that are sponsored, SEO-optimized, or otherwise garbage. If I go on Reddit, I’ll find an entire community devoted to the topic with seemingly real people discussing the pros/cons of all different models.

I’ve tried searching with Lemmy but most of the time I can’t find the answers I’m looking for so end up crawling back to Reddit.

I absolutely don’t go there to doomscroll like I used to, I’ve thankfully moved on from that life.

My legs generally don’t get cold. Even in that -20 C weather my legs just don’t seem to be bothered. I have no idea why, other than I’m acclimatized to cold weather or something, though it’s possible there’s some nerve issue in my legs that makes me not feel the cold - again, no idea.

Other parts of my body get cold, like you won’t catch my shirtless or shoeless in that weather.

On the other hand, if I wear pants, my legs will sweat profusely and get itchy, which is way more uncomfortable to me. I’m also generally a very warm person, and usually sleep at night without a blanket covering me (otherwise I’ll sweat all night and be uncomfortable). If I turn the thermostat down then blankets become tolerable, but then everyone else in my house will complain it’s too cold.

I’m also aware of the dangers of frostbite, so if I expect to be in -20 C weather for extended periods of time (like an hour or two) then I’ll put on pants. If it drops to -30 C then I always put on pants no matter how long I plan to be outside.

Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion, though I expect it also raises new ones.

I don’t see anywhere they’ve done either of those things. The closest they’ve come is saying on Facebook that they’ll stay out of the “policy debate”: https://www.facebook.com/ChickfilA/posts/10151226208515101

Being decent to every human shouldn’t be considered politics.

This is how I met my wife 10 years ago. It was -20 Celsius outside and I was in shorts waiting for a bus. She came over to ask why I was wearing shorts, which sparked conversations and now we’ve been married for over 5 years.

They could even have one of the commands on the cheatsheet be to hide it, so anyone who doesn’t want it will immediately see how to turn it off.

Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say shit like “chemical-free”. Everything is made out of chemicals, tell me which one otherwise I’ll just assume you’re uneducated and afraid of things you can’t pronounce.

I was in Dubai earlier this year and the heat index was 53⁰C. Felt like I was being baked alive.
