Actually true. There’s no reference in the Bible where Jesus says we should do that. Apart from the name, Christmas has nothing to do with Christ.

JohnDClay,

The gift giving was more as a celebration of epiphany which eventually migrated if I remember correctly.

theangryseal,

Nice mullet bro. Reminds me of my rad dad in the early 90s.

klemptor, in JPEG

Helen is wearing socks with sandals. Helen don’t give a single phuck.

trbleclef,

It’s spelled “puck”

CurlyMoustache,
@CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world avatar

Why use C and K in socks when they are pronounced the same?

New spelling: Sokks

klemptor,

Nah, gotta go with soks - can’t have that redundant k in there!

Klear,

Yup. Don’t want to risk a third K getting in there…

Che_Donkey,

Socc is the correct spelling now, because its “soccer” not Sokker (or Soker).

This is a hill I am willing to die on.

Mamertine,

Language evolves over time to become shortened for convenience.

Therefore sox is now the correct spelling. You all are using archaic spelling variations. Sox is always plural. I’m sure this will cause no confusion.

On a less anarchist note, spelling wasn’t standardized until the early 1900s.

So up until then, sox, soccs, socs, sokks, soks, and socks were all valid ways to refer to foot panties.

klemptor,

Foot panties!! This is now canon, someone call Merriam-Webster!

CurlyMoustache,
@CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world avatar

Foot condom

Empricorn, (edited )

It’s obviously “sox”.

Annoyed_Crabby, in "The Mario Bros." By Safely Endangered

Because it’s Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

aeronmelon,

The only good lore tidbit to come out of that deranged movie.

wander1236,
@wander1236@sh.itjust.works avatar

That movie is a work of art. Who doesn’t love the extremely horny scene where Mario is trying to get the necklace back in a movie ostensibly made for kids?

DosDude,

Oh no! Sexual stuff for children! Better replace it with violence. That’ll keep the children clean.

GrammatonCleric,
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

That’s the OG movie canon. Did they also do this in the old cartoon? I can’t remember

Annoyed_Crabby,

I’m just making the joke from that movie, but apparently Miyamoto also adapted that name for them haha

The Anarchist Cookbook is on the reading list

pyrflie, (edited )

I mean it really should be, it’s basic ASVAB.

If you are considering a military career this book is the civilian key to EOS or OCS.

LazaroFilm,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

I know all these letters… maybe I should read the book to understand you.

pyrflie, (edited )

A google search or a 5 min convo with a Mil recruiter would highlight all three.

Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery

Explosive Ordinance School

Officer Candidate School

If you don’t know any of them maybe you should do some basic internet searches. It would make you look like less of an idiot for not recognizing ASVAB. It’s literally a basic aptitude test.

Congrats your country filtered you into E1.

Moobythegoldensock, (edited )

If you’re posting something, it’s your job to do so in a way that people can understand your posts. Posting a bunch of industry-specific acronyms and then being condescending when someone asks you to clarify because they didn’t go and do homework on your stupid post doesn’t make them look dumb, it makes you look like a smug prick.

maynarkh,

Most people don’t live in the US and don’t know or care about US military abbreviations.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Congrats your country filtered you into E1.

Only if they’re looking for cannon fodder. I’m 46 and chronically ill.

I don’t think I need to know any military abbreviations.

EffortlessEffluvium,

Mother-in-law recruiter?!?

FlyingSquid, (edited )
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I believe that’s called a fiancee.

RainfallSonata,

Like there isn’t going to be eight million different explanations in Google for acronyms with letters as common as EOS or OCS. Have you never used Google?

sharkwellington,

I always hate this viewpoint that if someone doesn’t understand what someone else is saying on a website designed to facilitate conversation, they should Google it instead of asking.

Aside from that, it really makes you look like a heel for using jargon and chiding other people for not knowing it.

Land_Strider,

Moreover, they are talking about military service being relevant or close to 99% of other vocations or daily lives of civilians.

Mossheart,

Especially when you’re in a community about comic strips.

Ziglin,

Personally I read eos as endeavouros. Also ASVAB is an aptitude test by the USMEPCOM (United States Military Entrance Processing Command) So not only is it irrelevant for the average bloke that doesn’t want to serve in the military but also for anyone not in the US. (At least if other countries do use this test I missed that) Also Office of Community Services was first mentioned in the 27th result on Google when I searched for OCS.

Moral of the story, just because you find it easily at your location and with your browsing habits doesn’t mean it’s that easy for everyone else. Please keep this in mind next time someone asks about the meaning of an acronym.

pimento64,

Where do you get filtered into if you’re too dumb to realize that half the shit in the Anarchist’s Cookbook is actually completely wrong, and act belligerent about it anyway?

trolololol,

Hey hey why so much aggression. Is that to deflect something you miss?

Bougie_Birdie, (edited )
@Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I did a basic internet search for EOS and OCS, and I found lip balm and a cannabis dispensary.

If you’re using a TLA (three letter acronym) you should probably recognize that some acronyms are common and have multiple interpretations.

If you’re concerned about people looking like an idiot for asking questions, you should probably be aware that calling people an idiot for seeking information has the opposite result.

iopq,

EOS is a cryptocurrency, OCS is the office of community service

You’re welcome

And ASVAB? Agency for Super Villains And Babies?

SoleInvictus,
@SoleInvictus@lemmy.world avatar

EOS is a type of medical imaging, OCS is oral corticosteroids.

rosymind, in Meeting face to face

I see a lot of people are missing that the :-) face WAS his actual face.

Which begs the question: did she unmatch because she prefers emojicons, or was she just not attracted to that type of face

0ops,

You got me. Didn’t catch that until I saw your comment

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I think the comic could use a touch up if so many people are missing the joke.

It took me a moment. But it shouldn’t.

DumbAceDragon, in Dreamcatcher

got rid of a bad dream, replaced it with an even worse dream.

runswithjedi,

Kid: I want to help people struggling with their finances use the law to get away from crippling debt!

Mom: And you’ll do that with… music?

Kid: Yep, I saw it in my dreams!

–Mom buys dreamcatcher–

Kid: Mom, you’ll never believe it. I dreamt that the best way to help those people was to study law and finance and change the system from within!

BigPotato,

That’s just SLC Punk with caring parents.

lol, the system is designed to make any such attempt irrelevant.

@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know, plenty of people achieve progressive change all the time. Lots of examples of politicians and lawmakers from all over the world for this.

Edit: here’s an example from Lemmy front page, wbur.org/…/mass-fair-share-millionaires-tax-anniv…

msage,

Yeah, I love those bedtime stories, too.

Ragdoll_X, in "Dog park" by Safely Endangered
@Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world avatar

I can only wonder what ungodly experience prompted them to draw this comic…

Viking_Hippie,

Seems pretty self-explanatory to me. Clearly, they saw someone wearing an ill-fitting hat.

Fixbeat,

Maybe seeing a naked guy picking up dogshit with his hands sparked their imagination.🤩

OprahsedCreature, in I can't wait to play tonight [Clueless Hero]

All this working is not working

Mac,

Agree. What’s even the point

Lenny,

To purchase more in-game items, and feel like you’ve accomplished something for a few minutes before the sad comes back.

DharmaCurious, in More like guidelines [Mr Lovenstein]
@DharmaCurious@startrek.website avatar

This is me, the only exception is hand knitted or crocheted items. They’re literally the only things I’ll actually respect wash instructions on. If someone takes the time to make me something by hand, or if I spend the time to do it, I’ll treat it right. Otherwise, that shit is going is going into the washer with shirts, jeans, two towels, a flat sheet, a little bleach, some powder detergent, and some downy. I know you’re not supposed to downy towels, but ain’t nobody got time for separating laundry in this bish.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

That’s fair. If it’s been hand crafted with love that’s something different than, I dunno, some random sportsball shit I have from Walmart.

DharmaCurious,
@DharmaCurious@startrek.website avatar

Ew, you have sportsball equipment? The gay agenda is going to need a word with you. You’re hurting our image. We abandoned respectability politics in the 2010s. You need to update your plan, or you could face serious fines and a loss of the ability of walk super quickly for no reason.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

It was a shirt and it was on sale!

DharmaCurious,
@DharmaCurious@startrek.website avatar

Oh, that’s different. Items on sale are exempt. You should have led with that! You almost lost Quick Walk!

mpa92643,

Towels honestly dry you off SO much better when they’re washed with no fabric softener. It’s worth an extra wash to do towels separately

KaedanJarret,

Just stop using fabric softener in general. It’s basically liquid plastic coating your clothes. 🤮🤢🤮

Rolando,

I don’t do bleach or fabric softener, but I will use a garment bag for a style of t-shirts that I like but that fall apart otherwise.

gazby, in Out of sight, out of mind [ADHDinos]

The trick is to have the things obstruct the door, so you’re forced to become consciously aware of them as you leave. Nothing short of that (or a spreadsheet for packing if you’re going overnight) works for me.

Delphia,

I will LITERALLY tie things to my car keys.

ZoopZeZoop,

I bring a satchel with me when I leave the house. I leave it in the car 99% of the time, but it has my sunglasses, sanitizer, umbrella, etc. in it. So, it’s helpful to bring along. I toss my keys in it and whatever the important thing is. If the important this is too big, I wrap the strap of the satchel around the thing or wind the strap around some part of it. I still forget things sometimes, but this has helped me significantly.

Seraph,
@Seraph@kbin.social avatar

What idiot put this thing in front of the door? Oh well off to where I need to go!

gazby,

HAH! Too true 😢

NotMyOldRedditName,

Next time I’ll leave a note describing why the thing is blocking the door on the thing.

schmidtster,

Huh I wonder why that note is on this thing in my way, oh well I’m late gotta go!

FoxyFerengi,

This is why I have magnets on my door. So if it’s something like a form or an envelope to mail, I can stick it right over the doorknob

kozy138,

That’ll be the one time I decide to use my front door instead of garage door on the morning lol

xpinchx,

But wait, you forgot your coffee. Go back inside, set the important thing down, get your coffee and lock up.

I swear ADHD is like life in hard mode sometimes.

Zink,

There was a meme I saw on Lemmy a while back that said undiagnosed ADHD is like having life set to hard mode but you and everybody else think you’re set to easy mode.

Getting a diagnosis and/or treatment doesn’t change the fact that you’re on hard mode, but at least you know what you need to tackle.

Signtist,

I always put my keys on anything I need to remember, since they’re the last thing I grab before I head out, and I can’t lock the door or start the car without them. If it’s more of a concept, I write it on a post-it, then put the keys on that.
