My conspiracy theorist mom shared stuff like this all the time. This will absolutely be shared among climate change deniers as they roll coal on their way to the funeral for their daughters who died in the Texas floods.

Signtist@bookwyr.meto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it just me, or does crime documentaries have a biased "pro-cop" vibe to it?English4·12 hours agoYeah, there’s always the underlying faith in the system in these types of stories. They assume that if someone was found guilty, they must have done it. The only ones that I see that go against that are ones where’s it’s been proven that they were falsely convicted, and even in those it’s usually framed as some freak one-in-a-million accident without anyone at fault.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Does the 6 refer to a body part or a measurement in inches?English39·1 day agoThe phrase “got your six” is a variation of “got your back,” referring to the method of using a clock face to denote direction. So, your 12-o-clock is directly ahead, your 3 and 9 are your right and left, and your 6 is behind you. Kind of a weird thing to put on your license plate, but I’ve seen weirder.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?English81·1 day agoI remember when I learned about the vastness of space when I was, like, 6. I sat up that night just thinking about how incredibly huge the universe is, and how nothing on one random planet amongst it all could ever really matter. Then I thought “Well, I matter because I want to matter,” and went to bed. Sometimes the simplicity of childhood can help answer the most paralyzing of philosophical quandaries.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have a "catchphrase"? if so, what is it?English17·2 days agoGood to know I’m not the only one! My wife was just talking about watching Pocahontas with our niece, and rolled her eyes so hard when I told her I’d poke her hontas.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have a "catchphrase"? if so, what is it?English27·2 days agoI’ll often repeat things my wife says in the “I’ll x your y” format as if it were a cheesy pickup line. Like, she’ll ask if I can grab the remote, and I’ll say “I’ll grab your remote.” She hates it.
I mean, they’re trying to say that the terrible colonialism practiced by the European-based American people against the native Americans is happening again in Israel, which is definitely a good point to be made. We’re well past the ability to stop the atrocities committed by America in the past, but we’re able to stop Israel today. The same idea applies to the terrible treatment of non-while populations in America today by ICE and other agencies, while we’re on the topic of preventable atrocities.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You get new speakers or you start your music library from scratch. Which is the first song/album you play?English2·2 days agoI’ll find a few new songs to be the first in my new library. I love finding new music, and transitioning from one library to another helps me take some time away from songs that might be getting stale to focus on new stuff. It also gives me the opportunity to rediscover songs from previous libraries after some time, and fall in love with them again. Just today I added a song to my library that I used to have on my old iPod, and I’m listening to it a bunch now that it’s been several years since I’ve last heard it.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's appealing about people who are seen as extrovert but describe themselves as introvert?English8·4 days agoMy sister is like this, and she’s basically just constantly anxious about what she’s supposed to be doing and how people feel about her, so she forces herself to be talkative and energetic even though it exhausts her. It’s sad to know that behind her smile she’s just always stressed out about every little thing that she construes as someone maybe being mad at her. I’m glad that over the years I’ve been able to get her to be her real self around me, but I haven’t been able to get her to see a therapist yet.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Terms for our Times (artist: Jen Sorensen)English21·4 days agoMy point is that the time when we might have found the right words to fix things is almost certainly over. It’s now time to start fighting against injustice with real action.
They did all this because they know that the vast majority of the playerbase will never hear about this, and many of those that do will either forget, or simply not care enough to boycott the game. We’re in an age of apathy across the board, with so much bad press that any given scandal just fades into the background noise.
I mean, I understand that this is a metaphor for some instance of “someone thinks x should have y, and is dumb,” but I have no idea what specific instance it’s trying to poke fun at.
Signtist@bookwyr.meto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Terms for our Times (artist: Jen Sorensen)English21·4 days agoWe can’t even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don’t have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.
I have this on my everyday playlist…
I smuggled a whole pan of brownies once. I barely even tried to hide it, but nobody asked about the weirdly square bulge on my stomach. They don’t care.
I saw the new one with my father in law today, after not having seen one since the original trilogy. It was just not good. I’m usually able to turn off my brain and enjoy a movie regardless of the quality, but there were so many things that didn’t make sense, or were glossed over without explanation, that I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief.
I found it back in the mid-2000’s while I was looking for a video game where I could build stuff, similar to legos, so when I played it all I did was make castles and robots and whatever. Maybe you could make minigames for people like they do now, but it didn’t seem like it was the main focus, at least from what I had seen back then.
I remember when my nephew first asked if I knew about Roblox. I was so excited to build some stuff with him, until he showed me this crappy superhero fighting simulator. I can’t complain too much, since it’s basically the new-age version of crappy flash games, but it was still a disappointment.
I learned this by accident while heating up some hot cocoa as a kid, haha!
People always assume I want to turn my hobby into a job. I love to bake - it helps me de-stress from my job. If I made it my job, I wouldn’t have something to help me de-stress anymore. I make enough money; I don’t need to extract the joy from everything in my life for the sake of making more money.
