Sauerkraut and a bit of ketchup. The bun ends up tasting super sweet in contrast. YUM.

I think people underestimate how much hustling selling pictures online involves. Finding the sect of your audience who is actually willing to pay, beating your competition while trying to respect the market (in certain communities there are price floors to keep it stable), then attracting your customers without revealing your identity or identifiable backgrounds, while competing with other sellers who don’t care about privacy, then the actual content creation, and after all of that customers really like personal touches, and some conversation. Then if you say or reveal anything that messes with their fantasy, you lose them. Even if you’re a hottie, it’s not easy money. Easier to just get a regular ol job.

I listened to a podcast basically saying once you’re really smart, it’s likely your life just really sucks. Of course there are a handful of people who are wildly successful, but most high IQ people just feel like nothing in the world was built for them. Basically the father out on the bell curve you are, the less the world is made for you to function happily in, whether your IQ is 60 or 140. If you want to be smart and happy, a doctor or lawyer or whatever, 125 is the sweet spot. 140 is depression.

Har har har. I’ve been to different states in the US

It’s happened for years over many different houses and locations, even different states. That was a good and thoughtful response though, thank you!

I love water, easily my most preferred beverage; I’ll choose water even if my meal comes with a drink. But it makes me sick in the middle of the night or in the morning. I don’t get it. It makes me nauseous. If I cut the water with juice or I drink coffee it’s fine. If I wait until like 11:40 am, it’s fine. But if I wake up parched at 4 am and I chug water like I want to, I’ll feel sick. If I drink half a glass before breakfast? Sick. OJ? Fine any time. Coffee, apple juice, 2/3 apple juice with 1/3 water? All fine. What’s wrong with me?

Yeah, that’s why they’re trying to make questioning Trump’s greatness a mental disorder. So they can identify us as irredeemable to dispose of us

The only time I have ever cared is when I’ve gotten a bonus. The tax rate is much higher on a bonus. I’d much rather my company just pay me $25 more a week than a bonus in December.

A parent shouldn’t be letting their single digit aged child have unsupervised access to the Internet. Agreed that they shouldn’t be publicizing it, but this idea that parents should be letting their kids have secrets when they’re so little is one way dangerous adults take advantage of kids.

Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept

That’s not a great take.

Children are people, don’t make them wear diapers! They can pee anywhere they want!

Children are people! Don’t limit their screen time! If you just give them plenty of toys, they will be capable of limiting their own screen time!

Children are people! They are resilient! Let them watch R-rated films and have unfettered access to the Internet!

No one is talking about putting a leash on an eight year old. We’re talking about letting a 14 month old get to experience the privilege of walking in a public place rather than being trapped on Mom’s hip or in a stroller.

Yeah, I’m a normie, I’m tech literate adjacent-adjacent, by which I mean I’m here on lemmy rather than Facebook, but no. Me and my peers are not pressing ctrl anything. I don’t even know what gui means. Something user interface? I’m not proud to be this dumb, but I’m pretty sure most “regular” people are in this boat with me. I was the third most tech literate person in my entire office last year with a bunch of millennials simply because I was willing to Google things.

Pretty sure that’s the point, that the family isn’t allowed to withdraw consent due to the insane “abortion” laws. This is so far past abortion. America is disgusting and grotesque.

Yes! I can see yours as well shares that weird tone. I understand why there’s an argument, while still fully believing the couch is obviously brown.

This is the couch up against our old mantle with painted brown bricks (we didn’t do that, we were renting)

We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled “slate” when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my “this is the brown couch” position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.

A little less than a third of people voted for it. A little less than a third against it. A little more than a third didn’t vote. There was no majority here. I don’t get this “you wanted this, so duck you, enjoy the consequences” response. A third of us fought against this. Our kids don’t deserve a hell scape because boomers are gullible.
