modifier,

I am proud of the life I’ve built. Before my teens were over, I had completely bypassed all thought of college, knocked up a girl, gotten married, and quit my band (the band was Plan A for my life). I had no skills and no plan and I’m sure even the people that loved us most thought that our marriage was doomed.

But it wasn’t, and those people were wrong - even if the statistics were definitely on their side.

I am proud that I have 4 awesome kids…

I am proud that my wife and I are still actively falling in love every day, 20-something years later.

Honesty, I’m proud to be loved by an amazing woman…

Though conscious of my privilege, I am proud that I found a way to build a career and provide for my family despite having no education. I make over 200k now and that’s simply way, way more than I ever thought I would be able to pull down.

modifier,

Good advice from an animal? We could name a community after this.

But let’s not.

modifier,

Pretty good cutout though.

Do you think it would be understandable/alright to be discriminatory towards people who identify with a world culture if that culture ended up declaring nuclear war and going through with the threats?

It’s no secret I’m on the misanthropy spectrum, but as such a person you could say that about, I wanted to ask this ever since hearing this conveyed in response to recent events which sees three spheres of influence now arguably possessing the potential to deliver on such promises. Like… what’s the deal?

modifier,

This seems to be a question aimed at validating a position you hold, so what is your position on your question, OP?

modifier,

This comment was based on the movie Precious, based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire

Even this makes me want one.

In 1 hour I will paste the unabridged and unredacted transcript of my tape recorded conversation with Edmund, a time traveler from the year 2086.

Edit: for those wondering, no, Edmund was not his real name. Rather, it’s the moniker I gave him so that he would be able to pass in the present (now past) day. His given name was Brilyunt.

And yes, I can confirm your worst fears about the etymology of that name.

modifier,

Just put the ice cream in. Coffee is often hot.

modifier,

It’s really hard to say it’s the best, but the most memorable bite I’ve ever had was my first bite of Japanese F1 Wagyu at Jean Georges in Las Vegas.

Now, I am not a foodie, and I don’t often dine at Vegas steak houses, so I don’t claim any kind of refined palate.

That first bite defied all expectations about what steak was or even what meat could be. I know this sounds crazy, but in many ways it had more in common with candy than with the cow it came from - but it wasn’t sweet.

Clearly I am stymied in my attempts to describe such a memorable bite, because it was so unlike anything else I can relate it to, but suffice to say it was amazing.

modifier,

Unbelievably, I’m playing (and enjoying) Fallout 76 after avoiding it for so many years of following it’s travails from afar.

It’s buggy in all those Bethesda ways that are almost comfortable in their familiarity at this point, and it’s got a lot to explore. This can tide me over until Starfield is discounted and improved.

Also been playing Teardown a bit, which has a really cool look and feel. Hyper-real except a voxel universe, if that makes sense. Lots of fun to destroy the environment.

modifier,

Laugh if you want, but remember:

They won’t always suck this much, and they are watching you. And they remember.

I think it’s a fine effort.

modifier,

That’s Slivovitz, I think.

As a homeschooled kid, let them come.

This comment brought the word GROUPWISE thundering back from the depths of my lower consciousness, where I had worked so hard to relegate it.

modifier,

Surely that’s just a present-day cheerleader with a cartoon character stuck in it.

modifier,

And by its very nature, it’s forgiving of long absences. It’s so easy to just pick it back up, probably take some time to admire the 10 new updates Hello Games has released since you last played, and then settle in for some chill gameplay.

I’ll never finish No Man’s Sky, and I wouldn’t even say I play it, exactly. But it’s one of my very favorite places to visit, and I will probably continue to visit for years and years to come.

We could take a walk and you could kiss me on the veranda

Throw it on the pile with the others. I’ll get to it, probably never.

Came here to onomatopoeia this.

This is in danger of happening to me.

I hope that fucker was air gapped, or they will all have a shared taste for blood soon.

modifier,

I’ve always just done it backwards, even before emojis were a thing.

I guess I’m just alternative, like Weezer.

modifier,

Exact same except I didn’t go to college and it was 100% because I couldn’t read my own writing well enough to distinguish without them.

modifier,

why do you think so?

Also, you can be capable of proper capitalization and yet use capitalization differently as part of your expression.

In this case, Built Different really makes perfect sense to me because it’s almost being used as a slogan. The term Built Different has meaning in the zeitgeist that is distinct from, for example, thing A being built differently than thing B.

Capitalizing terms that have different significance than the simple grouping of words within them is such a common device for writers that I wouldn’t even call it ‘improper’.

modifier,

Oh? We can agree to disagree.

modifier,

Commenting here so I can remember to come back and read this when I am good and high.

modifier,

Fuckkk.

What if you just - - forgot - - how to see?

modifier,

Commenting here so I can remember not to come back and read this when I’m sober.

modifier,

Do they even have these anymore?

modifier,

Google rocketed past ‘icky’ long ago, around the time they awkwardly removed ‘don’t be evil’ from their motto.

It tastes like meat candy. Whats not to understand.

Reminds me of KenM

Ever heard of meat beat manifesto? Also, er, slaps.

Canceled today after I got this email. Let em burn

modifier,

I was homeschooled (and I mean homeschooled, like, in the subculture) from Kindergarten through high school and am nominally a functioning member of society in spite of that fact. AMA.

modifier,

It’s not pointed out to me, necessarily, but I stumble over (or into) many gaps in my knowledge. Mostly having to do with soft skills though.

modifier,

I did say nominally.

modifier,

And, what constitutes a ‘better adult’? This question is, ultimately, at the heart of the decision for people like my parents who chose to home school for religious reasons.

For my parents, a ‘better adult’ was one who had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, believed that the smallest possible government should somehow exert the maximum amount of control over people’s bodies and beliefs, and that the earth is 6,000 years old despite all readily available evidence.

Happily, they also believed a ‘better adult’ is a well-read one and so they encouraged me to read as much as possible and were (in hindsight) surprisingly lax with what I read, as long as it was a book. So I ended up drawing much different conclusions than they did about stuff.

modifier,

For me, because my homeschooling was part and parcel with a very conservative religious upbringing, the most difficult part is, in a sense, still ongoing.

I don’t want to imply my childhood was like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt or something, I was aware of what was going on in the world and stuff, but certainly sheltered and heavily influenced by my parents in how interpreted what was going on.

Breaking away from that, interacting with society more directly and more diversely than I otherwise would have, has overlapped with breaking away from a lot of the cultural and religious beliefs that were instilled in me.

That’s not an overnight process. I think anyone who has left behind a religious upbringing could relate to that, homeschooled or not, but the homeschooling and relative ‘isolation’ adds a twist to it.

modifier,

I wasn’t sure about this community until this comment. I have found my people.

Mail men hate this one trick!

I could have written this comment word for word, except I’m on Sync now.

Iceland hit with more than 5,500 small earthquakes in the last three days (www.reuters.com)

“These earthquakes are a warning sign, a part of a longer-term story that we know we’re entering a build-up phase to the next (volcanic) eruption,” IMO Service and Research division head Matthew Roberts says, adding that from my perspective as a scientist and someone who’s been following this activity very closely, “I...

Hawaii is basically volcano plops.

Which does nothing to detract from its stunning natural beauty.

TIL about this tool, the *Reinigungsschaber* ! (lemmy.world)

I had lost hope with my electric cooking plates. The white circles where completely hidden under a layer of diamond-grade burn residue that no amount of scrubbing with chemicals could even begin to remove. I found this 3€ scrapping tool and it’s amazing !!! Sorry, but I don’t have the before picture, believe me after 6...

modifier,

house uses bacon grease as dish soap.

I’m no materials scientist, just some guy on the internet who wants to make sure there isn’t a revolutionary idea missed in they throwaway comment.

modifier,

Okay that’s my bad.
