Dude pedants ruin everything. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain the concept of hyperbole to someone

Yeah TREE(3) is so big, how can you possibly know that there are that many evens??

That’s it, I’m Amish now. I use inches and fractions of inches, and that’s as far as my numbers need to take me

free will is sort of like the Prime Directive in Star Trek

That’s a really apt comparison because they play fast and loose with the prime directive all the time, using it as an excuse for inaction while flagrantly disregarding it whenever it suits them

Yup, I figured they were joking because my username has @sh.itjust.works in it, and yup, local browsing is kinda ass but I mainly browse the equivalent of /r/all (hence my commenting in a lemmy.ml thread)

Do y’all actually care what instance you’re on? The only thing keeping me on SJW is that it would take a whole minute to make an account elsewhere

Biggest difference is I’m not the main character, I’m a peasant mud farmer, and the universe isn’t going to thrust an adventure upon me that will inevitably lead to me finding a partner who’s a literal perfect match for me

Any time I see a problem I can solve with one of my amateur hobbies (lock picking, 3d printing, etc), him saying “I can do that” is always the first thing that comes to mind.

My favorite is when I realize I’ve argued with the same communist in multiple threads. He’s just so consistently wrong about everything

Gboard does it too. I’m fairly certain I use the possessive form of “its” more often than the contraction “it’s,” but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like “that’s GOTTA be a contraction!”

I did my part. Super easy ballot this year:

Libertarian (sticker placed over republican views), or democrat who doesn’t do anything but at least he isn’t a republican

Old white dude who says all races matter, or old black lady who says diversity is good

Dude who enlisted in the army after 9/11 and thinks we need more cops in schools, or literally anyone else

Yep, we usually have an election the first or second Tuesday of every November. On the one hand it sucks that more of us don’t vote, but on the other hand I’d rather that people who get a ballot and just pick whatever name sounds better not do that

ISO 8601 baby

Though it ought to be a prefix, not a suffix

My problem with a lot of wholesomeposting is that it often feels vacuous and insincere. Gimme stats about the decline of child mortality instead of a generic “you can do it! I believe in you! (I’m not personally invested in your success but I want to feel like I’ve done something nice today!)”

He’s that engineer guy from the original star trek, not sure why he’s got a weird shirt on though

Not voting for the lesser of two evils is the most childish shit. People like to bring up that Geralt quote, as if the situation in that story wasn’t made a hell of a lot worse by his decision not to choose.

If you’re not gonna vote blue all the way down, then you need to put your money where your mouth is and start burning it down so you can rebuild it. Otherwise you aren’t protesting, you’re just being lazy.

I get exactly how you feel. “Fuck the establishment, this’ll be the year that a third party wins!” To be young and optimistic again…

Do y’all actually pronounce dragon with a j sound? How???

A person could tell me out loud “I’m flirting with you” and my awkward ass would still find a way to fuck it up

I remember hearing that his actor got arrested a while back, and was afraid he’d done something horrendous, but it turned out he just got in a bar fight

Which if anything makes me like his portrayal of Homelander even more

Yeah, I mean he’s definitely a prick, but I’m okay with my money going to pricks if they make an entertaining show
