Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When someone replies "that's not dull" to a post in Dullsters/Dull Men's Club, are they complimenting you or gatekeeping?English
1·5 days agoThere is the other option, that the post was so underwhelming as to have lost any meaningful attribute allowing categorization as something that could be described as dull.
Which again could be utter insult or the highest of praise. 🤷
I always cone back to 304. It never loses its shine.

Dad Jokes@lemmy.world•When you make an irish stew, you must only use 239 beans or fewerEnglish
7·5 days agoI’ve heard this joke a thousand times growing up and “Irish” was never used. I think it’s even better when you don’t try to explain the forced pronunciation. More groan inducing as a terrible dad joke and no weird stereotyping.

World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine said it captured a Russian position using only ground robots and drones, no infantry, for the first timeEnglish
11·1 month agoThat world is here and now. The only futuristic or scifi element is the perfect defense.

World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine said it captured a Russian position using only ground robots and drones, no infantry, for the first timeEnglish
21·1 month agoI think you’re overestimating the defensive capabilities we have. Drones has been so successful in warfare specifically because there is no good counter, and numbers can be used to overcome more effective countermeasures.
Helms deep had walls which were impassable before breaching. Drones leak through defenses like a sieve.

World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine said it captured a Russian position using only ground robots and drones, no infantry, for the first timeEnglish
12·1 month agoNo one will give a shit about robots dying. The drones will either be attempting to war crime civillians or intercept said war crime robots.
And drone intercept rates arent even close to that not being scary.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why do people like scotch when it tastes like horse piss?English
6·2 months agoYou should go for the top shelf stuff, sheep piss plays better with the peat.
Emotional openness, vulnerability, and availability to listen in return. Genuine expression of emotion. Then just try to limit forwarding the trauma of previous generations.

politics @lemmy.world•BREAKING: Trump just lost Saudi ArabiaEnglish
1·2 months agoThis reminds me of the Estonian commander (?) Simply saying “were fucked” in response to the joint eu/Ukraine drone exercise. It turns out the US isn’t fairing better.
Not beyond basic hygiene(shower/brush teeth), simple casual clean clothes, and the slightest effort with facial/head hair.
Then just learn to be interested in the people you talk to and be open about yourself. You’ll probably find you enjoy learning about people.
Try something link, “What are your hobbies?”, or, “What do you like to do for fun?”.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can you also do this with languages that use the Latin Alphabet?English
8·2 months agoAll your examples are changing gramatically between noun and verb.
Germanic languages tend to use the second word in a compound as the noun and the first as a modifier.
Blue ocean is an ocean that is colored blue where ocean blue is a shade of blue.
Conversely snowshoe is a shoe meant for use on snow. Shoesnow is nonesense rather than snow stuck to your shoe.
A possible option working within existing systems would be:
Parental leave: you get pop sustain rate (2.1?) parental leaves banked. You use 1 leave for every child you have and bank is allowed negative with no penalty. At 45 or so you get to use your bank without being a parent.
Something like 95% of people become parents.
Flex time/time-bank + home/hybrid office fix most other issues in office jobs.
Trump couldn’t dodge a shoe



It’s the whole coronary system not just the heart. It also comes with the same swath of possible symptoms as most stimulants including high blood pressure, stress/anxiety, etc.
That said, IMO the biggest issue is the litter. Used pouches should go into the trash can and away from animals.
