Is Nintendo one of your hose companies that’s essentially the same price everywhere?

My sense of smell is terrible so it’s the least intrusive for me and my sense of touch is practically overwhelming on a regular basis so I’m going to say this has a lot to do with the type of body you live in

Those limits tend to be pretty low and on top of that we now have all this footage of you stopping all of these places and not acting like a normal customer. Classic case of looking sus at that point

It’s illegal in the US for sure and it would be worthless but I don’t think a random cashier would enforce it. In Canada you can’t mess with the coins but there’s no law protecting their plastic/paper money

That Savage Garden album with Truly Madly Deeply comes to mind

To me having the bar be some outside goal seems so strange? So if a person is disabled and can’t “earn a living” or have the ability to navigate “the things needed for day to day life” whatever that means since it’s different for everyone, remains a child? To me this is a very dangerous way of defining adulthood and anyone denied the opportunity to earn money/gain skills is subjugated to being a child? Historically speaking this would make nearly all women children until the 1970s. Adulthood is a mindset

What about all the adults without jobs or parents whose labor primarily stays in the home? I think a stay at home parent with no income is still an adult.

I think it’s when you decide it, plenty of children walking around in grown bodies paying bills but also letting the whims of the world carry them with their current never taking a stand and steering their own lives. To be an adult is both a choice to be free from undue influence but also to be fully responsible for your own actions.

Butter chicken is pretty! At least from my local favorite place it is, we don’t have that weird neon red stuff the UK (and other places?) has

Yeah I didn’t discover Indian food until my 30s and I think a lot of curries are actually beautiful?? Like a deep mustard yellow with melty red or orange flecks and tiny colorful spots all suspended in sauce? It’s like liquid art. Sure not all curries are beautiful but I think most look appetizing at the very least

The day I have to give some billionaire creep my biometrics to go to a show is the same day I decide I’m never going to a show again

Do all the robots that can clearly do janitorial work not worry you?

I cry probably daily on average if we count all types of crying. I’ve sobbed a handful of times in my life. I cry hard a few times a year. I mostly cry because I’m inspired by something like the Artemis II mission had me crying either because of the spirit of space travel or being touched by how much I love all 4 of the beautiful people on it. I cry when I’m happy.

Mostly stuff about me I know I’ve told them. If you ask me a question I know I’ve given you the information for before I’m having a bad time. To me it’s about how much attention is this person actually paying to our conversations or are they just phoning it in.

You sound a lot like me friend

Zuc specifically seems to be floundering more than the others, not that it matters obviously but I think it really shows he hit a jackpot not that he’s especially skilled, smart or talented.

The 2016 point is, on point. I remember the absolute flood of pro-Trump, incel, conservative content that felt completely inorganic and had very little representation prior popping up literally everywhere, everyday. It was like a firehose of far right fringe ideas was aimed at Reddit. Reddit 100% had problems prior but it was mostly focused on violence/sexual violence towards women and girls and wasn’t ever on the front page, other than maybe Jailbait. Even at the time people using Reddit were aware and talking about how unnatural it all seemed but now it’s too far gone and been normalized.

I was a very early Reddit user, and a “power user” for over a decade who was permanently banned for “inciting violence” by saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet as a joke. I think my far left progressive comments were more likely the reason.

Even huge thriving communities on Reddit have zero representation here. The culture is also hyper specific on Lemmy. I find Lemmy to be generally more tolerant of my progressive, feminist, disabled person views but also if I want to talk about them there’s not that many places, but there are what feels like hundreds of options to talk about stuff I have absolutely no interest in like operating systems. I think it’s a diversity issue

I think you’re asking a question only you can answer

Why not? I love all of these things and I would definitely try it
