Socsa,

Yeah if you actually cook food it’s not that bad. It’s frozen food and junk food which has exploded in price

Socsa,

My spreadsheet shows my grocery costs are about 12% higher than last year. A difference of around $10/wk.

Socsa,

Yes, I have eaten at a restaurant before.

Socsa, (edited )

They are fine for anything which doesn’t require precision. I have a Ryobi bench sander and it’s a complete waste of time. Same with the chop saw I unused to have. It was basically impossible to get flush miters from it no matter how much you adjusted it - the tolerances were just too low. My DeWalt table saw and Chop saw don’t have the same issues. They cut sub-mm precision on day one and still do years later. The table saw in particular is technically a worksite saw, buy you can use it to build cabinets with the right blade.

Socsa,

Or if you’re my ex you just do all of the above.

What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?

The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.

Socsa,

Literally if you can’t handle the dog park don’t go there. This is pretty much why we don’t go the the dog park when it is crowded as well.

Socsa,

The real caption should be “Am I the only one who makes memes about my tough guy delusions?”

Maybe OP found the one truly ignorant but considerate person in the world who has done this. Everyone else knows it’s a waste of time.

Socsa,

Right, the massive gap in Marxist theory is, and has always been, workable statecraft.

Socsa,

Oh God you said the L word

Socsa,

Visually it is exceptional, but I fear it is too dry and thin to make an effective walking stick or tool handle. Maybe for smaller hand tools like a screwdriver.

Socsa,

There is a reason why cringe tankie bullshit is the worst enemy of actual leftist policy.

Socsa,

It’s even worse than that. Most Lemmy commies are aggressive sectarians who cling to a very particular form of the ideology, while rejecting all forms of moderate leftism and Marxist revisionism. It’s extremely obnoxious, and their bizarre, outdated philosophy is a primary reason why people are skeptical of leftist politics.

Literally most of the work people cite from Lenin is just him defending his own hypocrisy. It really says a lot that people will be all “dictatorship of the proletariat doesn’t mean dictatorship” and then go on to cite Lenin glibly saying that civil war is good because it teaches the peasants how to shoot. It’s simply not a well thought out framework for statecraft.

And all of this is summarized quite nicely in Animal Farm

Socsa,

The first time through you don’t quite know where the film is going, and it’s an incredibly gorgeous, technically precise journey with a good enough payoff to leave your heart beating at the end of the movie.

The second time through the narrative just doesn’t have the same impact, and you notice that it’s kind of pretentious and self indulgent and drones on a bit.

Socsa,

To be fair, it is pretty awkward when people talk about where they are shooting their cum. Keep that shit to yourself.

Socsa,

These people don’t actually care about statecraft or political science. It’s all about fan service for them.

Socsa,

The fantasy games are just how they get kids hooked. It’s very obvious to me as someone who has always kind of felt like fantasy takes some purity out of the fandom, that this has been a long term plan to normalize this kind of “skill” game so they can create exactly that pipeline.

But I mean, its probably just a crazy conspiracy theory that the NFL already had branded endorsement deals ready to go with a dozen different gambling houses immediately when the Supreme Court cleared the way for all this shit.

Socsa,

It’s honestly insane. I have been watching sports with the same group of people for almost 30 years now, and the past few years it’s gotten fucking insufferable. These people genuinely believe that they’ve got a system going, doing bet arbitrage against their six different apps and seventeen different accounts. They don’t even watch the fucking game. They are just watching phones and laptops. I hate it.

So what ends up is that I’m watching our team win, and happy about it, but half the room is punching holes in the wall because thirteen different stats across six different games didn’t magically align to give them a 100:1 payout. Two of the original group have literally taken on major debt to fund their addiction and still think it’s perfectly fine to keep betting.

Socsa,

You mean that time that the USSR rolled tanks into Prague because checks notes the socialist government published some newspapers?

Bro, even Mao Zedong was like “that shit is mega fucked up.”

Socsa,

Remember that time the donbass “rebels” shot a civilian aircraft out of the sky using Russian weapons? Which they had because Russia was not invading Ukraine?

Socsa,

I like pickles on everything, but pickles are delicious. Raisins are an abomination.
