I work in logistics and transportation so I always enjoyed season 2. Especially what McNulty does in episode 1.
It is an eye opening show in that you can see how each part of crime affects the community. Local political corruption, media corporatization, defunded inner city schools, international sex and drug trade, they all lead to the way society works for the rich and fuck everyone else raw.
I read only one subreddit still and it is Am I The Asshole, it is very easy to spot the ads because only one add matches the format of the posts. Anything that doesn’t start with AITA is an ad.
That gives me way more time to read books that I have been putting off. Starting with a few books by Cory Doctorow who coined that term enshittification.
It is a lot easier to make time for reading when watching a video will mean an ad before, during, and after every 5 minute clip. I subscribe to a few news shows so I can listen to them as podcasts while I work to support without having ads.
in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) (the best version imo b/c i saw it as a kid and the magic only works around then) a lady said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac and i’ve completely internalized that as true....
I think this person transfers their milk and orange juice into jugs in the fridge.
Orange juice was probably in jugs because it’s being made from concentrate in a can. Milk at least in Canada in certain provinces is sold in bags which go into a jug.
Vasectomy is up there in the top 5 best things to happen in my life.
Highly recommend if you are sure you want to go child-free. There is nothing quite so worry free as shooting blanks instead of using condoms and birth control.
For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
My partner and I got scratch ticket packs for eachother for $38 total. I lost every ticket she won 20 dollar so we are starting the year 18 dollars short.
Nobody might want advice here and feel free to vote this down but go out into the real world and find something to do where other people are.
A little more than 7 years ago, after being single for 6 years, I went to a dog park with my dog and met a woman that interested me. We showed up at the same time and talked each time, I asked her out after a month. We went out New Year’s Eve and have been together since.
It doesn’t always work but you can do it, random meme watchers have done it, so it is possible.
I’m definitely not promising it will work perfectly. I was single with a dog and going to dog parks for 5 years before that but was at first not ready to date as I had just separated from my partner of 9 years.
Dog parks are just good places to meet people, some you won’t know their names, some you will know them by their dog’s name, some you will know their names and meet outside of the dog park.
Being social is the key to whatever type of relationship you want.
Hoover, because the British call vacuums Hoovers and also because J Edgar Hoover was a bottom feeding shitbag like my sharkvac was when my dog took a shit on the floor and it dragged shit in neat lines on the floor.
The lid is plastic, saw the top of the lid diagonally down until the saw is stopped by the glass, tip the bottle over and empty it out. With no cap now you have reason to not finish the entire bottle.
If Trump loses in 2024, do you think he'd run in 2028?

What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?
When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.
I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet. (lemmy.world)
What misconceptions do you still have that you learned from TV/film as a child?
in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) (the best version imo b/c i saw it as a kid and the magic only works around then) a lady said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac and i’ve completely internalized that as true....
Your greatest weakness becomes your greatest strength. How is your life different?
imagine a slider on a video game going way in the other direction, that is. this isn’t like one of those philosophy riddle things
Sorry guys, we had a good run (lemmy.zip)
What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?
For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
Mickey Mouse is now public domain (Steamboat Willie specifically). What do you think we will see this year?
This is the year, guys. (i.imgur.com)

This is in a city of 175,000 people. And in a “liberal”, West Coast, US city. You really can’t get away from this stuff in North America.
What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise?
Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard....
