Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?
  • Oh, that is absolutely correct. Texas is so different from California, which is so different from New York, which is so different from Florida which is so different than Massachusetts, etc. forever.

    California would be the sixth largest economy in the world if it was its own country.

  • Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?
  • The first time I crossed the border into Oregon years ago and started pumping my own gas, the attendant came out shouting "Hey! What are you doing?" As someone that had never heard of this law in either state, I was about as confused as you could possibly be, because this obviously seemed like a trick question.

  • Reddit propagandists' take on recent news
  • The flair said covered by other articles, as in we don't need multiple articles about the same topic. If you want a livelier debate, this is the right way to keep everyone speaking about the topic in the same post.

  • 1337
  • I imagine the person trying to decide whether to use 8008 OR spell it on the keypad with corresponding letters like the meme with the guy choosing between two red buttons.

  • Bidet anyone?
  • No, my point has always been that you wouldn't try to clean anything with a dry rag, so bidets make more sense than toilet paper. My example was putting peanut butter on watermelon and wiping it with toilet paper, you'd still expect it to smell like peanut butter, would you not? IYou took it to have some meaning I never intended.

    I had a bidet for a while and would use it, drip for a bit, then dry off and "finish" with a round toilet paper. It's a pretty easy way to prevent the possibility of bidet water dripping down your leg and just felt...cleaner? This is a shitty conversation anyway ;) Anyway, this seems like we just misunderstood each other. I apologize for my share of the barbs. Take care.

  • Does Wikipedia really need my donations?
  • I fully agree with not limiting themselves financially whether it's 1,10,100 etc. Their aim is to bring knowledge in all languages to even the poorest parts of the world. If some Lemmy user's bank account is one of the poorest parts of the world right now, lol...I mean only "you" know how much money you can stand to give while still living comfortably and being entertained in life.

    I have to take small disagreement with the money contribution not making a difference though. It's the flip side of the same coin that tells people it's find if they don't vote cause their one vote won't make a difference. The hole in the argument is that we don't vote alone, and we don't donate alone. The specific attitude "my vote won't make a difference" actually costs millions of votes every year, just like "my $20 won't make a difference" could cause millions of dollars of losses.

    But anyway, separate argument from the situation here as our Lemmiford here sounds like they're in saving mode till things look up.

  • Bidet anyone?
  • You haven't understood my pretty clear language and then are calling my metaphor dumb? Wow.

    You don't wipe with no cloth and just water alone? No shit, are you going for a promotion from Captain Obvious to Major Lee Obvious?

    Your "no, the first thing you do is get the rag" is about the dumbest response I can imagine and inaccurate since the situation was framed as "wipe with a rag" implying a situation where one already has the rag. You might as well have wrote "the first thing you do is put on appropriate non-skid footwear and remove any rings."

    You're not pedantic, you're pretending to score points by calling me out for omitting the incredibly obvious parts that really didn't need to be said at all.
