MajorHavoc, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

This thread has lots of company names without references or explanations.

While " controversy" is probably a solid search term, we could do better by including “why” right in the comments.

ikidd, in Fellow Extreme Weather Lemmings, what are your Buy it for Life winter boot suggestions?
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

I farm and I’ll wear Mucks. They eventually wear out and the neoprene gets snagged with barbwire, but they’ll go for about 3 winters of daily use for 6 months IME before it’ll get a hole around where the neoprene meets the rubber. Leave room for a good pair of wool socks and I’ve worn them to -43 as long as I’m moving around. But I’m also not very susceptible to cold, so YMMV.

jojowakaki,

Yes

triclops6, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Good luck op! I hope it’s a success Friday!

stewie3128, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

Most of them, but I’m just tired.

ChaoticNeutralCzech, (edited ) in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Not a one-liner. You better start this one as soon as you’re rolled into the room.

My instructor was Mr Langley and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it, I can sing it for you.

It’s called “Daisy”.

Daisy, Daisy
Give me your answer, do,
I’m half crazy
All for the love of you
It won’t be a stylish marriage
I can’t afford a carriage
But you’ll look sweet
Upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.

Hopefully, the anesthesiologist has seen 2001: A Space Odyssey. You’ll go down about halfway through.

The scene (spoilers for 2001) • Cleaner copy of the song to learn the melody from
No need to try for a computery voice, the oxygen mask will obfuscate it enough.

Odo, in why do & ampersands never display properly in titles?

I believe it’s been fixed for the next version of Lemmy. But for now, small ampersand (U+FE60) works as a substitute: ﹠

intensely_human,

Small ampersand I love it

intensely_human,

Also I wonder if your username and my own, (head tilt) may share the same meaning

Sterile_Technique, in People talk about ideas being living things. How can we do better at cultivating and propagating ideas that are helpful / sustainable?
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

The problem is shitty soil. The solution better funded and better quality schooling.

LesserAbe,

You’re right, better schooling is important. What do you think are the obstacles to getting it? Why isn’t it happening already?

Does seem like there’s a loop of misinformation means less effective democracy, and less effective democracy allows for more misinformation. Seems like better democratic systems are called for, like ranked choice voting, but also better news or education outside formal public school.

I also think overpowered interests (ie. rich people) can veto education on subjects that most people would benefit from. So maybe one thing is better limiting the accumulation of outsized wealth or power?

Sterile_Technique,
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Science and education have both become (have always been?) politicized. Certain groups are incentivized to hamstring education at every opportunity in order to keep the churches full and the voters red.

The solution… we need to get those fuckers out of power. Voting works when voting works, but that’s obstructed and gerrymandered to oblivion, so… idk, break out the ol’ guillotine and start providing some free cervical spinal decompressions to our oligarchs?

feedum_sneedson, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

I said “wow, that’s strong”.

satans_crackpipe,

Haha, mine was “I think it’s working”.

telllos,

When I woke up I was like, " It’s really good dope". I’ve never done anything other than weed.

Karyoplasma,

When I woke up, I vomitted. Twice. Then I asked for a bread with Nutella.

DudeDudenson, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Doing the “who are you” bit when you wake up might be more amusing and easier to pull off (considering you don’t normally know when you’re going to pass out)

EddoWagt,

Might be more difficult to do when you wake up as you have the chance to actually have no fucking clue what’s going on

Harvey656, in What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?

I literally do not boy have enough time in the day to type all of them. There’s just so many that are awful.

Fuck, I left the oven on.

BigBananaDealer, in What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

my buddy pretended to not wake back up and then scared the nurse

HawlSera,

He’s not going to be level-headed enough to do that

Smoogs,

That’s not how anesthesia works. It’s not like waking up from a light sleep and keeping your eyes closed.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

its impossible to close your eyes again after initially waking up

Smoogs,

You’d be lucky to even have the consciousness of knowing the surgery was already done let alone what just happened to even plan such a prank.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

maybe if youre simple. however, some possess knowledge beyond your feeble comprehension 🍷🧐

enthusiasticamoeba,

I’ve been with a number of people as they came out of anesthesia and they were “awake” and talking before they were really conscious of it. Same experience with my own surgeries; I have no recollection of eating a popsicle but apparently I did and tried to share it with the whole nursing staff.

I think your friend is full of shit.

treesapx,

Do not try to deceive or scare the Post Op nurse. They have powers you’d happily avoid.

serial_crusher, in Do the right wing women in relationships with right wing guys think it's like a draco malfoy thing where they're a good guy underneath?
@serial_crusher@lemmy.basedcount.com avatar

They probably both have compatible opinions on what constitutes a good person. They might disagree with you on some facets of that, but you’re not who they’re in a relationship with.

tacosplease,

OP was likely referring to how conservatives treat women. As in why would a woman date someone who treats women like that? IMO it’s because they’re too dumb to realize how they are being treated vs how they should be treated.

jasory,

Because conservatives don’t beat women? For everyone talking about the conservative male that dominates and controls his wife, there is a liberal one stoned on marijuana that needs to be babysat.

These are of course the stereotypes for each side, the reality is that there is a wide range of behaviours that has only weak correlation with political views. But everyone here is too severely brain-damaged to be able to determine causal links.

Nobody said "beat".
