Every damn day
  • I’ve explained this so many times. I grew up in rural Georgia and I’ve been shout and yelled at so many times by some old boomer dude that I’m just immune to it. Would rather just avoid listening to their bullshit at all.

    What Are Some General "Buy It For Life" (Durable) Items You Recommend?
  • The top answer for me is always a good cast iron pan. Doesn’t have to be expensive but should be quite heavy. It’s not just buy it for life either, it’s buy it for future generation’s lives.

  • We’re long past the point of companies doing what’s actually best. Consider how many are returning to offices despite all the evidence that wfh is better for all involved.

    As with most things I think a big part of the problem is executives. They live for work. They love coming in and lording over their little fiefdoms and holding pointless meetings where everyone has to listen to them talk. Why would they give up a day of that every week? Why would they let people wfh where they aren’t forced to be in the room making them feel important?

    Green Boots - a name given to the unidentified body of a climber that became a landmark on the main Northeast ridge route of Mount Everest.
  • During Covid the sherpas took the opportunity to really clean up Everest, including Green Boots. It’s such a shame that their best option to earn a living is to watch rich folk trash a mountain they consider sacred.

    What was the saddest meal you have ever eaten?
  • Not good. Just watery ketchup. But it was a hell of a lot better than nothing. It did help that I snagged a few packs of crackers for texture.

    What was the saddest meal you have ever eaten?
  • Went to visit my gf in college once a few hours away. On the way back I put every penny I had into my gas tank in hopes it would be enough and it barely was. While at the gas station I mixed some ketchup packets, salt, and hot water for “tomato soup” because it was all free.

    Social differences even between coasts are massive
  • Born in the south and moved to Philadelphia in my early twenties. It was more culture shock than some other countries I’ve been to. Folks in Philly don’t hold back. If they don’t like you they tell you, to your face. They also don’t feel the need to add all the extra and often unnecessary pleasantries to every social interaction. Honestly for a “well mannered” southern kid it was pretty liberating to get to drop all that.

    Old School Drag Rule
  • I think it should be law that folks in drag are allowed to shoot nazis. Whether it’s actual members of national socialism or just anyone who gets too loose drawing swastikas.

    something off about the sound of that ring
  • Except that 90% of the time you answer and it just hangs up because it’s testing to see if the line is active to sell to telemarketers

    Where do you get your news from?
  • We’re pretty much the same although I ditched WaPo cause Bezos.

    I do add the BBC and France24 if there’s a large international story breaking.

    What was the last book you read?
  • It was called “Drunk” and was about human’s history with inebriates with an emphasis on alcohol. For a book on booze it was incredibly dry and while the author made some decent points he tended to just repeat them over and over again.

    Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • I’m pretty close. I still check a few smaller Reddit communities but only when I’m on my pc in the browser. Almost all interacting (posting and comments) is on Lemmy now.

  • We’ve been USA Today’s best “small beer town” for years and can walk to 6 different breweries in <30min. Plus we’re walkable to a train station which gets us to the events in the city proper in 20 minutes.
