clay_pidgin, in Hi dad!

What is this comic called? I feel like sourcing should be required.

cbarrick,
clay_pidgin,

Thanks.

lobut, in Hidden Beauty - Safely Endangered

One of friends back in the day would lecture me on having a phone case. “why don’t you just not drop it?” I was like, dude, accidents happen. “I’ve never dropped my phone he’d say.” I swear, like a month after that happened, his friend stepped on his phone and a month after that he dropped his phone when taking it out of his pocket outside a burger joint.

I didn’t have a go about it. He’s not one of those that takes those types of jabs well.

Some people have to learn about best practices the hard way.

Katana314,

The scary thing, then, is lessons like “Look both ways before crossing the street”. You fail that sort of lesson the hard way, and you don’t get a chance to learn anything.

Humans are unique in their ability to learn from the mistakes of others and their blanket refusal to do so.

kale,

Yeah. I know people who say stuff like that. I know someone who wanted a convertible car (they were 18). Someone mentioned the greater danger of they flip, and this person said “well I’m not going to flip a car”. We all gave them a hard time about whether they thought everyone who flipped a car did it on purpose. The next year, this same person flipped their car several times (and walked away OK somehow).

Some people can’t comprehend that bad stuff would happen to them.

Cethin,

It is unlikely that an average person flips their car. You have to weigh the pros and cons of it. We take risks all the time, but if we think it’s more beneficial we take them. Just driving a car is pretty dangerous alone. Personally, I don’t think a convertible is worth the risk or the cost, but I won’t say no one should get one.

kale,

Yeah, only the people who don’t flip their car should get one.

I have zero problems with owning one, and have owned them in the past. We knew this person was a crazy driver and that it was a bad idea.

Beefcyclone, in Someone talk to me about Go (the board game). I'm in the process of learning it right now.

I’m here with my GO board game wondering why everyone has a block of wood and pebbles… https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/25d3bf0a-9458-4a85-8968-2f2141a15ca6.jpeg

i daily an 11 year old ThinkPad. it’s fast and does everything i need it to do. buying new is for suckers

MystikIncarnate,

Suckers and anyone who wants/needs a warranty… Like businesses.

Ephera,

…a.k.a. suckers. 🙃

BudgetBandit,

I dailied on my 2012 self-built gaming PC. Was good but expensive. Got a used MacBook Air, its cheap now.

Rodeo,

That’s what I’m still doing now. I upgraded the RAM a couple years ago and the GPU last year, both with cheap older parts that were about $100.

The main problem I’ve run into so far is that Blender no longer runs since they only support CPUs ten years old or newer. But I don’t do that stuff anymore really anyway.

itsJoelle,

Yeah, once my Zephyrus dies I’ve decided that it’s my last “new” laptop that I buy. Sure, it can play games, but my usage has been drifting more “casual” over the years. For the top end of my computing: I really don’t need much to compile stuff and run chitubox.

How easy is it to get replacement parts for a ThinkPad?

Likely the easiest

Zuberi, in Go into the woods and fight some strangers, son.
@Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I would ague this is almost a perfect comic

Did OP genuinely not think it was close enough to illicit the comparison that they needed to explain it?

cashews_best_nut,

I’ve never played Pokemon, so, yes.

Zuberi,
@Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Was the explanation panel funny then?

What about a last panel with him fighting a turtle with his rat (yelling at the rat to do thunderbolt for all I care).

cashews_best_nut,

Was the explanation panel funny then?

I didn’t plan to sit down and write a literature analysis on the comic so I’m not sure. Your idea could work but it’s a comic, it’s not worth fighting over…

A7thStone,

I wouldn’t have gotten it without the last panel. I know nothing about pokemon except memes.

lugal,

I grew up with pokemon and I didn’t get it until then. I watched the series before streaming so I never watched the beginning and the gameboy game is in vague memory (I had the gameboy color which had like 4 colors or something)

Kase,

Maybe they just wanted an even number of panels! /j

lugal,

Otherwise it would be odd

finestnothing, in Poor JC can’t even get delivery

I guess it’s a good thing Jesus’s birthday was probably sometime between June and October and Christmas is just another pagan holiday

MNByChoice,

Saturnella. It was on the winter solstice, but the Romans later moved the calendar and didn’t change the date.

finestnothing,

Most come from the pagan yule festival actually. Bonfires (now in fireplaces usually), decorating with holly, mistletoe, and evergreen trees, feasts, and gift-giving are all from yule (we’re missing ritual sacrifices from Christmas though, unfortunately). Saturnalia is primarily feasting, drinking, and gift exchanges. There’s definitely some overlap between the two, but yule has a much bigger influence (which isn’t surprising since almost all the other Christian holidays are also pagan based rather than Roman)

MNByChoice,

I will point out that paganism includes non-Christian Romans.

I am making this clarification due to the words that follow, which imply Romans are not Pagans.

pagan based rather than Roman

finestnothing,

Huh, TIL. I know fun random facts about paganism but had no idea that non-christian roman beliefs were included in it

MNByChoice, (edited )

Yeah!

www.britannica.com/…/Saturnalia-Roman-festival

The influence of the Saturnalia upon the celebrations of Christmas and the New Year has been direct. The fact that Christmas was celebrated on the birthday of the unconquered sun (dies solis invicti nati) gave the season a solar background, connected with the kalends of January (January 1, the Roman New Year) when houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and presents were given to children and the poor.

original_reader, (edited )

And yet, many Christians happily celebrate it.

👀

kryptonianCodeMonkey,

Christians already demand today that only their holiday be recognized at the same time that several other prominent holidays are celebrated by other religions and cultures. The fact that that holiday itself is plagiarized and displaced a previous wholly unrelated holiday is the least surprising thing.

stebo02, in Oblivious
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

this doesn’t make sense tho, why would she say “talking to my crush is awful” to her crush? it doesn’t seem reasonable

Ziglin,

I just realised that the second character didn’t just feel bad for being impolite…

stebo02,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

no it’s just that

Ziglin,

Some other comments seem to think the first character was in love with the second but the second didn’t realize until a year later.

cadekat,

Testing the water!

Gabu,

Actually more common than you’d think.

JackbyDev,

Dropping hints

MBM,

Because she’s not reasonable when talking to her crush

No such thing as a vegan cat. No such thing as a vegan cat. No such thing as a vegan cat.

Kiwi_Girl,
@Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Hey, I found this.

vegan.com/info/cats/

Smoogs,

Taurine and arginine aren’t just desirable for cats, they are essential—without sufficient taurine, your cat will go blind.

Ok. People who even attempt to put their cat on a vegan diet should Fuck off forever.

Kiwi_Girl,
@Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Please read the next line

Fortunately, taurine and arginine are both easily synthesized from vegan sources.

Smoogs, (edited )

BOOM BLOCKED another animal abuser.

Claidheamh, (edited )

That’s a very balanced and well written article, thank you.

TheControlled,

Hey, vegan.com is as reliable a source as Trump.com. You’re a fucking moron.

sizzler,

Can you try to be less toxic to others?

TheControlled, (edited )

I won’t be forced to politely tolerate dumbasses.

sizzler,

Your username suggests otherwise.

TheControlled,

Zing?

sizzler,

You chilled out yet?

TheControlled,

Depends. I’m pissed off again because I’m compelled to read a book I hate for class and it’s like nails on a chalkboard. Regarding this string? I don’t know. Using coarse language and calling people idiots when they deserve it isn’t something I consider bad or regretful, though I admit I was extremely pissed off by the amount of vegans coming at me with anti-science/pseudo-science crap. Otherwise, I’m pretty chill and plan to chill more with a Stella and videogames. Thanks for asking I guess.

sizzler,

You’ll get through the book, just a matter of time. The Stella and video games is my go to chill out.

You have to remember that vegans feel very strongly about their position. They are derided by even their own family for their beliefs which can make a person very frustrated with the state of society. It’s hard to see things from a non meat eaters point of view but I encourage you to try. Thanks for responding and all the best.

Breadhax0r,

That article actually gives some strong arguments to not make your cat go vegan…

Kiwi_Girl,
@Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah that’s a good thing. Being vegan is a luxury for a lot of people, due to meat subsidies and societal pressures at present.

I just enjoy hearing other people’s perspectives on this kind of stuff.

SparrowRanjitScaur,

The comic said the cat was fed meat though

Manifish_Destiny, in No escape

Those dyson.airblade urinals are typically so messy that they defeat the purpose of touch less.

Imgonnatrythis,

Please stop peeing on those. They are not actually urinals.

proctonaut,

Listen, superchief. If I piss in it it’s a urinal.

Godnroc,

There’s piss in you, so aren’t you really the urinal?

proctonaut,

Nobody put it there, though. It’s incident to being a meatbag. So I guess people can be urinals but aren’t necessarily urinals.

LordKitsuna,

On the flip side though they do generally have an average penis length of 6 ft so the joke can still work it just needs to be the penis instead of the balls

AnonStoleMyPants,

But you could wrap the giant schlong around your neck and it would make a nice warm pulsating scarf.

ladicius,

Remember to inflate your dick in regular intervals to ensure blood flow, elsewise it could start to rot.

Seriously. No joke.
