They’ll agree that the Democrats will do absolutely nothing while the Republicans rewrite every law to suit their desires.


Raised non-denominational Christian to Agnostic to Gnostic-curious.


Clearly I missed that video. Thanks for letting me know! That makes his views and attitudes make a little more sense.

(I also didn’t mean socially awkward as an insult or anything, I certainly have no room to talk)


I tend to like him and the things he has to say. I like that he helps consumers be more conscious of the things they buy, and cautions against companies with bad practices (such as those that are closed sourced, or lock basic features behind paywalls, etc).

He strikes me as a little socially awkward himself, and maybe that manifests as his rage at some of these companies and situations; he could stand to take a breath every now and then. I really enjoyed his breakdown of the Honey scam and LTT.


I immediately think of the episode where Butters returns home to fix his anger issues, only for him to be angry about Ben Affleck the whole time. Can’t recall any other Hawaii-centric episodes. I love South Park.


culture shock of seeing China having solved all necessities of a civilized society

Except for basic human rights concepts like freedom of speech, right?


Worked as the tech person for an office supply store in the US.

Regular (annoying) customer comes in with his desktop and printer in a cart asking for us to “verify the connections between his printer and computer”, because it wasn’t working.

Hook it all up to our work bench. It was a Win7 machine or something. Before I could navigate it, he urges me out of the way so he could show me what was wrong.

He opens chrome. You know how browsers will ask you to restore tabs when they close improperly? He clicked that option when it pops up. The first thing I see is a movie streaming site that’s in Russian with porn ads everywhere. Just raw dogging it.

He closes that tab to reveal an image of a naked child on the next tab. He closes that tab, and there’s another one.

I don’t really remember what I did, but in hindsight I wish I had called the police. I think he just ended up leaving the store with his stuff after that, but I learned months later that he came back in to use our self-service copiers and had more pictures, and our store manager threatened him and kicked him out.


Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?
Those who don't identify as a fella also welcome to answer! I'm getting tired of my wallet and I'm hoping to get some new ideas. Current EDC is my phone, wallet, and keys on a lanyard. Whatchu got? Edit: I ought to be a little more specific with my EDC, since most people are kindly taking the time to do so. Phone: Pixel 8 Pro Wallet: bulky leather wallet, I don't even remember the brand, I've had it so long. Keys: a stylized lanyard with various house keys, car key fob, and a keychain that reads "I hope your day is as good as my butt" from my wife. I have to keep that, you understand. Misc: Burt's Bees chapstick, Listerine breath strips, and occasionally a utility knife depending on my destination.
