yes, and? Your desire to have a big hecking floofy pupper who is just soooo happy and needs to share with everyone at 5 in the morning does not override my reasonable expectation of being able to sleep during quiet hours.

The answer to the riddle is teapot, but I have no idea what JOB could possibly mean

Dog people are special. I could never.

While this doesn’t happen often, it’s not unheard of. You might remember an outbreak from 2018 linked to salads sold by McDonald’s.

See? Not the first time. Last time it happened was 2 years into-

does anyone else smell burning toast

ah fuck, time to get paralyzed and give up I suppose. I’m never going to solve my problems in time.

yknow who else hates France? The ruling class

Maybe invest in a reversible heat pump so you’re ready!

curious that O’Leary doesnt want to build that DC in Quebec. I wonder why. You’d think he’d want it close to home, since it’s so good for the economy and all.

Because specific kinds of plastic (like polyurethane) undergo hydrolysis when exposed to moisture, which causes what you see in the op

i have to imagine new yorkers would be quite annoyed by this

You can actually get to almost 10000 on your fingers using Bede’s finger reckoning technique.

At this point half the reason i use Lemmy is curse management. I can’t tell you how many times a week I’ll be going about my business and then wham, I get hit with a curse. The other day I sat down to eat dinner and found that my burrito was full of spiders. The spirit that haunts my apartment block sure does have a sense of humor. Not sure if he was a shaman or a wizard or what. I’d move, but the rent is cheap, and sometimes the curses have a silver lining. My kitchen tap ran red with blood the other day, so I made sausage. Tastes awful, but probably saved me a good $40 with the amount I was able to fit in the freezer. Anyway, I appreciate the semi-regular curse-lifting I get from lemmyshitpost.

On second thought maybe collecting things made of volatile petroleum compounds wasn’t a good investment

Unfortunately they had to shut down the Bermuda Triangle due to austerity.

Look, all I’m saying is what you’re expressing now is fucking textbook, dude. There is no way you have a complete list of every brand that has ever pissed you off. Heightened emotional arousal makes you more suggestible. Not less. As long you’re human, that’s how it works. And understanding that, understanding that you are not immune to propaganda, is the first step in fighting back. Not violent fantasies, or visions of revolution, not by “if only everyone else would…” Not by getting pissed off, even though they’re infuriating. By avoiding them when you can, and trying not to react when you do see them.

Edit: On a reread my tone here sucks. My apologies. Clearly I need to take my own advice about not getting pissed off about stuff a screen puts in my face. I stand by what I said, not by how I said it. I hope you have a good night.

Have you ever heard of the “third person effect?”

Okay, you’re the one rational detergent actor. They don’t have to get you. They want your mom, your neighbor, your boss. Your kid. Saturation works, it’s literally proven. Repetition legitimizes. They do studies on this shit.
