People just split for irreconcilable differences all the time, they don’t owe the public an explanation.

I kinda love dubstep tbh a lot of it is stupid but I love how distinct and intense it is.

Waiting on the world to change is that for me.

I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it’s not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.

Yeah as someone who has spent almost their whole life in the Carolinas I am sick to death of that song, especially when people do the little singalong bits.

I hate to say ok boomer but that is a painfully boomer take

Me, waiting for the train that is arriving late that will make me late for an important meeting at work: yeah that’s pretty accurate

Honestly? I think if you had access to social media for any time in the last 100 years you would feel overwhelmed. The nature of the beast is there is ALWAYS something happening. There’s ALWAYS something to be angry about.

Nah no way does the average ewaste tier laptop use less power than a raspberry pi for any given task. The power consumption floor for a laptop may be lower than the rpi ceiling but that’s not a fair comparison

Not so sure about the last part. It takes ehhh about 3kg of c02 to produce 1 Watt for a year. Carbon footprint to build a laptop is about 200kg or so, but you’re not offsetting one of those you’re offsetting the raspberry PI you WOULD have bought which is just a small fraction of that. After a year or 2 you’ve almost certainly burned through your c02 savings if it’s on all the time.

You’re missing out, Facebook marketplace is THE place to buy local secondhand goods for dirt cheap without getting scammed. You do need an account but you don’t need to install anything, and the payments are not done through FB

Back when I lived in a (quite nice) apartment building I was constantly surprised at the things people threw out. Perfectly good furniture but also stuff like perfectly functional printers, artwork, computer cases…

I’m not so sure eating out a restaurant that doesn’t use disposable utensils/dishes is really wasteful at all. The only difference i can think of is if you drove a long distance to get there. But it might actually be more efficient from an energy consumption perspective. You might have to heat up your oven just for a meal for a few people but they are going be cooking up a lot of stuff at once. I’d say the much bigger factors are a) are you wasting good and b) what kind of food are you eating.

I’m really just here for the memes and tech/science stuff, and the occasional interesting discussion

Huh? I’m literally talking about like anxiety memes, adhd, autism, etc. Just not topics I find interesting.

Don’t have any instances blocked, but I block all the political, trans, furry, and mental illness communities. I wish people wouldn’t post political stuff to the YSK or general memes communities, there are 5 million better places to post that on lemmy, but it’s manageable.

I assume moe? Which I think means cute?

Virgin online activist vs the CHAD meme and amateur pornography enjoyer

Well, fwiw if a guy doesn’t want to date you cause you’re 5’7 you dodged a bullet. Same with the rest of these superficial “rules”. like it’s one thing to have a preference but idk why you would reject someone outright over something like that

I’d say it’s a expression that does have gender associations, but it’s not offensive or anything to call a woman dude in the right context. If anything it is usually used as a gesture of camaraderie, in this case because a woman has suffered in a way that men can understand.
