Because they were brainwashed into believing they’re somehow valuable and a good investment that retains its value, despite them actually being neither of those.
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
I feel like the tankies have become the boogeymen of lemmy. I haven’t seen a real one in ages, just people talking about how they’re coming… Any day now…
I had the same issue with Barney. I got the chicken pox at 16. The older you are, the sicker chicken pox tends to make you. I was super sick, to where I was hallucinating at one point.
A couple of days in, I probably should have been at the hospital, so of course my mom was leaving me at home by myself to go to work. She turned the TV on and just left without checking the channel. It was PBS and some sort of Barney programming block was on. Hours of Barney. Hours. The TV’s remote was long broken and I was too sick to walk, so I just watched that singing, dancing purple fuck.
On the bright side, I can do a great Barney impression. I sometimes do it randomly when I tell my wife I love her.
It’s annoying and I feel the same way, but this video is worth a watch. Everything is a remix. There’s a good chance the music from your youth being remixed was actually to some extent a remix itself.
There’s always residue. You’re just diluting it by wiping repeatedly. Before I was a bidet convert, I was a very thorough wiper. Now that I’ve experienced both, I know there’s never enough dry wiping.
I just got the job I’ve been striving for since 2015. Early on, I said I wanted to get a Tesla when I could afford it. Now I can and don’t want one. I’d take one if it was given to me, but I’d just resell it. I don’t want anything to do with Musk.
What I think is nuts is how many people see all this and still don’t get it. For example, my neighbor is a conservative voter and he still LOVES Elon. He sees Elon as intelligent, industrious, and successful simply because he has lots of money. He doesn’t care that Elon has repeatedly shown that he basically just won the millionaire’s lottery and used his familial apartheid riches to make more money but way more than your average millionaire might, more than anything because of luck. Nope. He deserves it, somehow, despite being a huge do-nothing douchebag.
I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?
On and off for the last five years. When I stick with it, I weigh less, have more energy, and things hurt a lot less. I also have a shit ton more free time each week.
That’s not science, that’s capitalism. Don’t forget that Dr. Jonas Salk refused to patent the polio vaccine, which is estimated to have a total value of over seven billion US dollars. Dr. Salk has always been a hero of mine.
Shit bag lawyers from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis later tried to see if they could patent it for themselves and luckily couldn’t. That’s capitalism for you. Fuck these guys.
Bacteriophages are a great secondary option. Similar to how bacteria quickly evolve resistance to antibiotics, bacteriophages can quickly evolve to circumvent phage resistance.
