No, not alcohol, but they were at a bar. I’m pretty sure there isn’t another substance around (though it could be a star wars analogue, because movie-worlds /eyeroll) that creates bars where people sit around a central area with a bartender serving said substance.

“Wanna buy some death sticks?”

“Happy Cantina Music”

Customer taste preferences are definitely odd. I liked their pizza before the change, and really liked it afterwards.

Aye, the difference between me, diagnosed in preteens, and my friend, diagnosed at 3, is immense. I still have the odd craving and sometimes indulge with stupid results. She? Never even crosses her mind.

Lol, just around the corner is right. My doctor, waaaay back in the 90s, said a cure was 10-15 years away. I think it’s just language they use. Especially when they are talking to the extremely sick/depressed who just learned what they have.

That’s a culture-thing. I’m a member of two forums that are still pretty active. One views dead thread revivals as amusing, the other almost literally has a celebration in-thread when it happens as all the members with older posts in it come piling in. Heck, the second forum has a thread so active that people literally ask for, and get, recaps for the last X amount of time for it.

That just…seems so wrong. My mentally declining grandmother used firefox back in the 00s era (though now that I think about it, my uncle is a developer, so maybe he set up the computer). How have we backslid since then to where so few people know/use firefox?

To be fair, he ate chips with a neat soundtrack and flashy cuts. Whooooah.

I’m pretty sure the post/phrase is the additional context. If I’m going to make a post about “there was an attempt to…” I’m going to use language to point out the boggartness of the whole affair. Like, really, who uses “behind” to refer to an ass on the internet? Put it together with the female part and the title was clearly trying to come across as asinine and mocking the incel language.

The hilarious part is, I really did read that in a sort of british accent. Just mentally put it as 'orn, ‘obby,’ and 'ydrogen atom.

Generally female and male are terms used in more ‘scientific’ or exact language. I wouldn’t say, “I met a group of females last night,” but rather “I hung out with some women at the bar.” It sounds awkward to use female/male in casual conversation for the typical English speaker. on the other hand, if I was writing a paper and discussing the research subjects, I would definitely say something like, “The research cohort consisted of 22 males, ranging in age from 21-34 years old (mean 24.5, SD 1.3), and 31 females, ranging in age from 20-39 years old (mean 25.6, SD 2.1).”

It’s come to be considered derogatory for the same reason as retarded, mentally challenged, intellectually disabled, etc. have come to be derogatory: feelings built by consensus and time. A large group of people don’t like the average ‘incel,’ and then they got the idea that incels were using the term ‘female’ in place of woman because they didn’t see humans of the female variety to be ‘people’ in the same way they viewed males.

I took it to mean people who earn that much per year. The average person working a $30k+ job should have more than a million in the bank at retirement, and that should have been enough to retire on comfortably. Now I’m being told it’s more than 1.5-2 million dollars at retirement.

This is how a gang operates. It’s all about consensus building by braggadocio. Someone says they’re going to do something, and sees if enough others join them. Then they threaten the person who is their rival based on the number of people behind them. Unfortunately for the wagner fellows who proposed this, they don’t have anywhere near enough backing them to get putin to back down. They’re fucked.

“They’re pretty open about that” doesn’t quite cut it, when I’ve seen examples in this lemmy post alone of people discovering the fact. We need removable batteries.

Half the fun is seeing how people try to fuck with you, and fucking with them back. Burner phone, though, never a real connection that you care about.

I have little doubt that apple still uses things like wi-fi and bluetooth even if they are completely turned off. I complained when they made the change to the control panel. If I want bluetooth or wifi off, no button I push should turn it off partially or for “24 hours.”
