My mom’s favorite teaching quote was “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and erase all doubt”

That’s me in person. Online I’m more likely to offer an opinion on a subject, with a caveat that I’m willing to be corrected. In person, if I speak up, it’s because I am either 100% correct, or I have every reason to believe I am. I don’t open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.

Instantly got it! One of my favorites. But it makes me sad that not everyone has scream-sang this going down the road with their loved ones. It’s a great experience

I’ve got a 1978 J10. There’s just something about jeep trucks. Absolutely love em.

My mom absolutely adored this style, and I gotta admit, I’ve always loved it. Fuck the haters, this rocks. It’s giving “I’m not going to be calling the cops on you for having a barbecue,” which is exactly the vibe I get from the live, laugh, love Karens.

Edit: said with love, y’all can hate if you wanna, but as for me and my house, we serve the starry aesthetic!

It’s pretty decent! It’s not what I’d choose to be doing, but honestly I like it. If I were in a vehicle they comped some of the repairs on, and not worried about the 1099 at the end of the year, I’d be cool with doing it full time.

Oh it is absolutely a rip-off, even moreso than a normal job. Plus calculating in gas, mileage, wear and tear, higher insurance premiums, and a 1099 to pay taxes at the end of the year in a lump sum instead of receiving a refund… It’s fucked all around. But right now, desperation is the name of the game.

Not sure; I just started doing it about 2 weeks. It’s my only source of income right now. In the town I’m in, I can typically make 20-30 dollars in a night (4ish hours), earn by time isn’t available here. But in Knoxville, I can make between 1-2 hundred in a night in the same amount of time. It just takes a 45 minute drive to get there

I switched to the earn by time thing on Dasher because of the waits at Taco bells. It’s insane. I spent an hour waiting on two orders the other day, one of which was 3 cheese wraps and a Baja blast, and the other was just like some fucking tacos and a burrito. It was absolutely unreasonable. But hey, dash by time, I got paid like 15 bucks for standing there scrolling through Lemmy

Verbal Tic Rice!

Most people on Lemmy, maybe. The smart watches are popular as shit, as far as I’ve seen. I rarely see someone without one out in public

And on top of that, a device to track your steps that you wildly overpay for isn’t exactly comparable to a full “I can think and know all the info on Wikipedia” sci-fi future of computer-brain interfaces. I absolutely do see the brand-loyal fanatics signing up for Google Grey Matter or the apple iBrain

mampf is amazing

Absolutely! Do you dare speak out against the words of the prophets‽

If anyone is interested in philosophy, religion, or just want to archive it for historical reasons, IIRC sacred-texts.com has a USB version of their entire archive. They sell it, but I’m sure someone could find a work around there, if they were opposed to supporting them* for some reason. It’s a massive collection of philosophical and religious works, and I believe they even have things like constitutions and legal works, as well.

*I know nothing about the people that run it or their ideology

Honestly? Terrifying. Not to get all "mark of the beast"y or anything like that, but they’re not going to have to force us to get brain-computer interface chips, people are going to line up for them and pay for it willingly. And then after a while, actual thought crimes become a real thing. I don’t want to live in a world where I have to worry about the encryption level of my brain. I don’t want Dear Leader, whoever that may be at the time, knowing if I like them.

10 years ago, this would have exited the hell out of me. Now? All I can think about is how fucking terrifying it is.

Tar and feather then, but use chocolate sauce and roasted peanuts!

I’ve seen this movie. Run, Tuvix! Run for your life!

Oh, I thought my app was glitching out! Lol. That’s why I thought the account was deleted in my first reply!

Yeah, I remember you! What’s going on? Everytime we’ve spoken has been very fun for me haha

I love the small town vibe Lemmy has sometimes, it’s so nice seeing that interaction across communities, instead of solely confined to a single sub, y’know?

My app (eternity) is for some reason not showing me your user name, it just says to sign up for Lemmy. Lol. I can’t tell who I’m talking to. Gonna have to give me a hint or three. Lmao

But ah, yes, no, that’s a bad idea unless you’re very into buttholes of all persuasions

Did they delete their whole account? Lol. What in God’s name did they say?
