This type of humor is paramount.

Imagine a bunch of random and different birds in one flock…

Most have been true at some point. They all (most) have a reference to something that once made perfect sense.

For example: Calling the kettle black. Most kettles were black at one era in time. Now they can be different colors.

But here are some [more] modern ones:

‘A 90s one: all that and a bag of chips’ Since many people would get a free bag of chips with their meal.

‘The internet is dead’ said when we get the nostalgic shock of an era no longer the golden age of internet. And it is true, many things that were great about old internet are now gone or modernized into a streamlined mess of paywalls and adblock-blockers.

They are called idioms in a sense because some of us can’t help but feel uneducated when we cannot figure out what they mean or why that phrase would come to mean what it does. But it sure does make the past a bit more interesting.

I think my life is stochastic enough. I need more predictability.

I agree.

No, I punched walls when I was a kid for fun anger. But it is understandable for a young person to be rebellious and malicious as we almost all were. There are different levels. the main thing is looking back and realizing it was wrong and wanting to change. There are no bad people in this world, there are just people who do bad things.

Yea, morality doesn’t come into question when I buy products, it should, tho. This post made me rethink a lot of things though and the comments section. Thank the points of view of yourself and the other people who have commented for the fact that I might boycott these brands.

I agree with your point. it depends on what they did not what they support. I could care less what they support. If they did something that was horrible that is a different story. If a music artist committed a major crime, I wouldn’t support them, but if they just support something I don’t agree with, I still might support them knowing I like the music.

This is different for basic needs such as in corporations and needing cheap food such as Nestle which owns so many brands. I support many local and small businesses, I support many small artists.

It all depends on which priority is relied upon and in what circumstance. Is it taste or is it morality. Morality should be first and foremost but it depends on the severity of the behavior. I don’t care if an artist lied to get out of a parking ticket but if they lied to get out of a DUI where they could have hurt someone or actually hurt someone, it is a different story. There are levels of “wrong”. It isn’t black and white, all or nothing thinking. There has to be a gray area to be fair.

No, it means you are responsible enough to look back and realize what you want to change in life. A bad person wouldn’t understand that they did anything wrong. Also, we’ve all did mischievous things when we were young .

No, my point was if it is cheaper to buy the name brand vs the small business that charges more, ethics is less the question and more about separating the product from the creators, just like I separate the artist from the art. There are terrible celebrities who have made good music, what changes about the music, what changes about the product, your knowledge of it. But the product itself is still as it was, your perception of [the creator] is just different. Would you stop paying for recycled plastic if you knew it was once someone’s trash. Ethics is about treating people better. I don’t sit there and think, at the store, let me see who I can support today. No, I buy my groceries like a normal person and look for the deal. I am trying to save money. But that being said, although I still bought fair life, I bought it less after knowing that fact, it still influenced my decision and it was a little more expensive, I liked the taste. But coming down on people for what they support is just as wrong as supporting the thing itself.

The unfortunate thing is the taste is unchanged no matter what nestle did. My wife told me not to buy Fair Life milk products because they abuse the animals. It felt so wrong, but tasted so much better to drink their chocolate milk. That being said, it isn’t always better to save money and buy the cheaper brand, than give up some more money trying to support a small business. However, we never know whether that small business will be the next nestle. It’s hard to pick these battles but separate the product from the ones who make it.

Yea, it was later in the day. But I didn’t realize it would be 69 degrees on 420/Easter. It’s more something I would post if Lemmy existed when I was 15. You have an unfortunate point.

This is giving me nostalgic shock. I remember when that device came out where I was, lol. I feel so old.

Make it a goal. Make it a hobby to clean. Put on some great music and clean away. Then, when you are of old age and looking back at that nice clean…filthy f##k’n kitchen, you clean it again.

“Finally, some GTA6 relief.”

“The manager must be an NPC, I wonder if that is code for something”

“Does ‘you are at work’ mean anything to you!?!?”

“Pizza was not plural. We’re getting booted”

By level 5 you gotta be immortal to pass.

I can finally see John Cena and it is this lol. Funny, I didn’t realize he was so into…hmhmhm…Easter?

This house only gives scrambled egg, no cheese!?!?
