That’s so old-school racist it doesn’t count anymore, like Irish_Americans give a shit in 2025. You’re diluting the word, making it worth less.
This is what people mean when they say, “You can’t say anything anymore!” They’re not mad they can’t say n*****, they’re mad because of silly shit like this. If everything is racist, language becomes a minefield, impossible to keep up with and navigate.
^100% this is a man.
I always think about hormones in these conversations. You are not you without them, and 100 other things like pain, biofeedback, etc.
Lemmy: What’s your opinion.
OP: Right here.
Lemmy: FUCK YOU!
I’ll throw out a new one: Cricut vinyl cutters.
Machine works just dandy, software is, quite literally, the worst I’ve worked with in 30 years of IT. The company puts no money into the product, it’s clearly only there to blast users with ads and give the machine basic, and hellish, functionality.
Here’s the best part! I can’t use my cutter unless I connect the software to the internet. It updates daily, yet ads nothing to functionality. Must be updating shit for sale.
Couple of years ago they made headline news by changing the terms so that users could only work on a couple of projects without paying for a subscription. A couple of projects could easily be part of one project. The howls of outrage got them to back off, damage done. I’ll replace it with any other brand if that time comes.
That’s part of the explanation for these people.
Penultimate means “next to last”, and that’s it.
…in the early 1980s, he teamed up with a female physician who believed in the idea. They spent the next 18 months gathering research, asking for insights and meeting with engineers who could bring the product to life.
From inception to prototyping to how the Sybian performs today wasn’t a “one and done” process. Years of research, conducting interviews and refinement went into its creation. As the creator himself says, “Sybian is not the result of what I thought it should be, but the collective input of many women.”
You can’t seriously think the ultimate female orgasm machine was invented without women? Plenty of videos that will back me on the “ultimate” part!
I’m blue collar in NW Florida. Haven’t heard a peep. 🤷
Repeatability is king! :)
Despite what you’ll hear from tech oriented spaces like lemmy, there is nothing inherently wrong with the profession. And FFS, there are 100 different paths to explore, pretty awesome. Part of it was having 30-years under my belt and simply getting burnt. My boss and a coworker were talking about Tails, sounded right up my alley, something I should be excited to learn. Realized I just didn’t give a shit.
My last job burned my passion, flamed out. On paper, it was the best employer I’ve ever had, but I was really depressed. How could I be making this much money, at a company that puts employees first, and still not be happy?! I was wracked with guilt, couldn’t understand it.
This explains why I was happy for half the pay at a previous job. I had autonomy, mastery and purpose. Also explains much of why I’m happier slinging mulch at Lowe’s. Please give this 10-minutes of your time. For anyone questioning their job or career, it’s a valuable insight into what truly makes us happy at our work.
I’d kill to get my wife one, but that $1,300 tag gives me sticker shock.
Conservatives generally don’t give a shit about trans people. They don’t hate them, but neither do they care about trans issues. If an issue doesn’t directly affect a conservative, that issue doesn’t exist. We’ve seen this attitude 1,000 times.
Look at pre-election polling for an example. The majority of their opinions were between, “Don’t care.” and “Stop with this trans hate bullshit. The attack ads are mean and hurting our chances.” (All I’m finding are post-election articles ATM.)
It’s conservative politicians that are trying to whip up hate. They need an “other” to focus the people’s ire. And that’s a whole nother write up.
Anecdotally, I’ve not once heard, or overheard, a single word against trans people IRL. And I am neck deep in conservatives around here, and they’re plenty loud.
Women already have the perfect sex bot. It’s called a Sybian.
I’m the guy who ditched his IT career to work at Lowe’s. Been going pretty well, except for the pay of course. Only been a month and the GM and a couple of AGMs are noticing me, giving me better/different work.
Seems I’m not getting so many evening hours, that’s my main complaint. This spring I bet I can go full daytime hours.
Being part-time allows me to pursue some woodworking projects I hope to make money on, and the 10% employee discount doesn’t hurt!
I’d be shooting dust within an hour.
Bingo. We straddled the digital divide, figured it out and deployed it to the world. Until a radical new technology comes along, there won’t be another generation like us.
Long before the notion of privilege was widely talked about, I was the clueless white guy. OTOH, I did have a clue. After a few interactions with the cops and courts I thought, “Well, that went better than expected. Thank god I’m not black.”
Ask me about having a “black” middle name and getting my resumes trashed for 2 months, not one response. Changed my email, got 3 interviews and 2 offers in the following 2 weeks.
Shoot. Them.
Three unidentified men assault me, I’m shooting. It would be damned hard to get me to draw, get me into a situation I can’t get out of, but this is clearly such a case.
(If you carry, or even have a gun in your home, you damned well need to understand the self-defense laws in your jurisdiction. They’re often more restrictive than either liberals or conservatives think. It ain’t the free-for-all either side believes.)
