If you no longer need an audience, then why hang out with them?

Oof, I hope you don’t really believe that. Aside from “attention” that you get with friends, you should also get compassion, empathy, and love. And sometimes it’s just nice to have companionship.

I just thought VP at tech was the same as VP at finance. That is to say, meaningless.

I took a peek at my local sub and a thread asking about a car incident was full of one-liner jokes voted to the top. It was about 2/3 down before I saw an attempt at a real answer and even further down still before anyone wondered if the occupants were OK.

You don’t find that the fruits and vegetables from Walmart expire so much faster than from other grocery stores? It’s especially bad when we had it delivered by instacart because they just didn’t care and would grab the first thing they see rather than pick through it like I would. And of course that’s what you expect because they’re not the ones eating it.

Hm, so that means if we switch from dairy to plant based milks and reduce our beef consumption, that should temper our expenses. I don’t think our family is ready to go full vegetarian though. What is the situation with chicken and pork?

Wow, $30 per person for ages 13 and over. Even pricing for children is $20.

My dude, it’s ok to shill Lemmy/Fediverse. I’ve been doing it to people I know IRL that use R3dd!t.

Ok, at the risk of sounding like a filthy casual, it’s only now when I’m digging into Memory Alpha that I realized we’re finally getting visualization of what Pike was so miserable about in TOS the Cage. I was like, why does Rigel VII sound so familiar…

This is the kind of retcon I live for!!

Holy crap… TIL that the USA has a specialized savings account for medical expenses. Like… if they know it’s inevitable that people have to spend money for their health in one way or another, this is kinda like the ultimate “Don’t care if you die or suffer” attitude. Surely the bureaucracy to figure out the tax codes behind this kind of thing would costs more than just implementing universal health care… wouldn’t it?

Nah, I’m just taking the piss. I even played games on the really old, really FLOPPY 5.5" disks. Wheel of fortune… good times, good times.

Some lesser quality Futurama is still better than no Futurama

Wow, a floppy disk! It’s just like that save icon, hahahaha

I guess we should take a step back, then to determine whether this as a person existed. If the person as an individual didn’t, then perhaps it was a group of buddies named Kim, Nyguen, and Singh. Probably a stretch, though.

I’m just wondering if there are no photographs or any other of Roddenberry’s war buddies can corroborated this guy’s existence. Should he also not have shared wartime stories with his children and wife? AFAIK, they haven’t shared any information but it’s also possible that no one had asked them.

Drama only exists when people aren’t kind to each other. So, no thanks?

I’m glad I had a slightly earlier start and am starting to learn how to curate my experience.

The red on it is definitely striking!

I think it’s a common municipal bylaw for communities on Vancouver Island that every second business has be named “Arbutus” something.

I lived in Vancouver way too long to not have realized Arbutus was a tree of some sort. There is a neighbourhood with tree themed street names and it never occurred to me to investigate what type of tree Arbutus was amongst the Yew and Birch routes. My partner said he thought Arbutus was just some historical dude.

Here is also an easier read: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/library/documents/treebook/arbutus.htm

I’m still trying to figure out lemmy! I originally had the above linked and then decided to include a picture but apparently that overrides the link. Also TIL that the site doesn’t grab images from links like R3dd!t does.
