Dr_pepper_spray,

I just want to loan out the dick. I’m gonna need that back when you’re done with it.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Trust me, Microplastics boy. You’re full of those other things too.

Also all three of you are likely full of shit … because your colons are full of cancerous polyps.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Haha. Shut up, you fuck.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Batman forever and ever and ever…

Dr_pepper_spray,

Yes, the convenience of the machine having an error and forcing me to wait while a supervisor wanders over to fix what I, or the machine screwed up.

I fucking hate these things. If they want me to ring up my own groceries they can fucking pay me.

Edit: and to those that think these are the greatest, you’re all outstanding, grade A suckers.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Or it sounds like you shut-ins will do anything to not have to deal with people.

Dr_pepper_spray,

What, like Bean Strokenoff?

Dr_pepper_spray,

She had to turn the crank on her selfie-camera with her feet and a broomstick rig.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Oh yeah, all that hardcore gore was so kind and cuddly. Or the rampant, very out in the open child pornography.

I mean talk about delusional. The Internet was always a cess pool, it’s just that most of you fucks were either infants, or didn’t know how to use it.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Seeing as how in most markets you can’t exactly do what you want for a living (or even close), or acquire the skills because they’re behind a steep pay wall, and the only employment you can find is very limited in scope to what the community wants, what’s the difference? Most jobs might as well be issued in the mail.

Dr_pepper_spray,

I’ve managed to outlive many computer systems because they can’t self mend.

Dr_pepper_spray,

No no, that’s not how that works.

Dr_pepper_spray,

So I’ve installed and operated PTZ cameras for multiple television shows and events, sometimes with junior operators - or just production assistants or other crew. These are in places where people know cameras are present. I can guarantee it doesn’t take long for people at the camera control unit to learn they can zoom in on people’s phones on set or follow girls around - and these are all professional people.

Cops with a drone that can zoom in on people unwittingly, in their back yards?! Oh, they are certainly going to do shit like this, or worse - they’ll likely record for themselves.

Dr_pepper_spray,

In the United States, I don’t know how you’d accomplish this. It would be impossible for almost all rural neighborhoods unless we’re going to build a grocery store within walking distance of most homes.

This is one of those liberal (I rarely leave my home) notions whose heart is in the right place but is ultimately stupid.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Yeah, but am I incorrect that the Netherlands is a fairly temperate place, if not on the cooler side? I don’t think you’ll convince most people to bike to work in the south, in the country, in 95+ degrees fahrenheit heat.

Dr_pepper_spray,

But then it wouldn’t be rural. The whole point of living in the country, which gasp some people really like, is to not be so close to other people.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Just because something is “doable” doesn’t mean millions of people are going to accept doing it.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Neat. Good for Asian countries.

It ain’t happening in America except maybe in cities like New York.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Soon to be a comic by reddit’s very own MilesTheNewKid!

Dr_pepper_spray,

To be fair, I had ice cream with crickets all over them, and honestly it had a kind of woody / pukey aftertaste that I couldn’t get through. I wondered if part of the problem is you can’t de-vein the little things. Aren’t you basically eating their shit?

I can de-vein a shrimp, and I only care for lobster tail.

Dr_pepper_spray,

I love their reasoning is really the result of thousands of years of human cultivation and cross-breeding.

Dr_pepper_spray,

…as opposed to what? A horse and cart? We’re not all biking, running or taking a train to work. The fuck?!

Dr_pepper_spray,

Why would you highly doubt that?

Dr_pepper_spray,

Eh… Nah. I don’t think you’re going to see a lot of mask wearing in the US again. If they want to roll out another vaccine I’ll take it, but the masks are a pain in the ass and no one likes them.

Dr_pepper_spray,

I’m starting to realize that the terminally online have just migrated to Lemmy. Who’s being selfish or inconsiderate? You’re forcing me to wear a thing on my face because you or someone else MIGHT get sick from a disease they will most likely survive, if not just shake off with zero consequences in a week like the common cold.

I did my part by getting vaccinated so I don’t add to the number of people who’ll go to the hospital. If things get really hairy I’ll wear a mask, but it’s really just for show. I don’t believe that it’ll do much to protect me from getting sick or potentially spreading the virus.

Dr_pepper_spray,

What qualifies as a vulnerable individual? Do they wear a T-shirt saying so, or do we all have to wear masks on the off-hand chance we’re near one?

Dr_pepper_spray,

No one should shame anyone for wearing a mask. However no one should shame anyone for not wearing a mask.

I don’t begrudge anyone for wearing a mask in solidarity or to do what they think they can to save lives, but I’m on the side of feeling like I’m taking a personal bag to the store, or recycling plastic bottles like it’s actually doing something. I personally don’t like wearing a mask, and I feel like in most cases it’s just theater to do so.

Dr_pepper_spray,

No, it’s just largely unnecessary. If you want to really protect people DON’T GO OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE. Ever. Stay shut in, it’s the only way to be sure.

Dr_pepper_spray,

…15% of everyone who gets covid gets long covid? I’d like a link to this.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Sometimes plane travel can’t be helped, and little children can be loud and obnoxious. I feel for those around me, but as a parent we have to endure this far longer than anyone else. It’s not like we like the noise either.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Depends on the age really. A child under one who’s wailing uncontrollably might be different than a misbehaving four year old. For instance my six month old couldn’t take a car ride without losing his shit and no amount of consolation would work. So we aren’t taking him anywhere, obviously. I have no idea how he’d take a flight and I’m not willing to test it out. Now if there was suddenly an issue with say, extended family that required us to get across country fast then I’m sorry, you gotta deal homey. It’s no fucking fun for me either.

The short of all this is you don’t necessarily know where people are at in their lives or why they are traveling and everyone is different. Kids aren’t one size fits all or work the same way for everyone – and a flight isn’t like going to a movie theater.

Dr_pepper_spray,

I’ve never been on a flight where a child has been the issue. I suspect when most of you say children, and what this meme is referring to is Babies. Children can be mitigated and distracted. By five most can be reasoned with. Babies are a completely different situation. I can tell you from experience, it’s not fun to be the parent of a wailing baby you can’t calm down. I can’t imagine what that’s like on a flight - and you might not know what they’ll do until they get there. - They might just fall asleep! Flying is a unique experience. In those cases all you can hope for is the patience and understanding of those around you.

Dr_pepper_spray,

“Conflating the two is ableist and insulting.”

I think the auto-reply should be an audible sigh and a “just shut the fuck up”. But hey, you tell me how you thought this would go?

Dr_pepper_spray,

So now I need to conform to some dead-end 20 something because they can’t be bothered to bring headphones on a plane?

Like I wasn’t an adult without kids at some point who had to fly with crying babies on board.

Dr_pepper_spray,

I have. It’s pretty unpleasant, but you put your headphones on and listen to something. These people that assume there is some policy that flights have to be as quiet as a church are beyond me.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Sounds like a good method for adults that like to get punched in the face a lot.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Whatever dead-ender. Just mind your business and leave everyone else alone.

Dr_pepper_spray,

There’s no law against ranting and raving.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Why are all of you assuming people are going on vacation? People travel for all sorts of reasons.

Dr_pepper_spray,

Why are you under the assumption all parents who travel are doing so for leisure?

Dr_pepper_spray,

You should try getting out of the house.

Dr_pepper_spray,

True, and it’s my right to fly with them. I’m glad we’ve had this chat. I now feel a lot less pressure to please little dead-enders who just want silence. Life is noisy. I’m personally not in any rush for an eternity of silence, but you do you.

Dr_pepper_spray,

You mother fuckers tried to download a car, didn’t you?!
