    Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you’re afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it’s fair to not like the joke.


  • And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.

    But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.

    And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.

    Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.



  • Yeah, I’m with you on that. Everyone on Lemmy loves password managers, but I don’t really like the idea of entrusting all of my passwords for everything with one singular program. I actually also dislike 2 factor authentication. One time my phone broke and my bank wanted to verify my identity to purchase a new phone. Except my phone was broken so I couldn’t… Yeah I really don’t want to run into that scenario again except worse.

    I’ve actually gone old school with it and I keep most passwords physically written down in a notebook using my own cypher language/pictograms. If someone irl really wants to break into my home, find the notebook, and try to decode it, I’d be in bigger trouble to begin with. It’s very unlikely.

    Yeah it’s just odd…compared to someone like you or me (presumably anyway…I suppose you could be a master breakdance but I’m working with odds here lol), she’s really good. But compared to advanced level break dancers, she’s clearly an amateur. A lot of it is just confusing…it’s like she didn’t realize she was supposed to be doing tricks in her performance. And the few she tried to execute had somewhat poor technique and didn’t land well.

    The commentators at one point say that Raygun likes to use improvisation. I’m wondering if she didn’t realize she was supposed to actually have a clean routine. It’s like she thought they were just there to vibe.

    Thanks so much for this! Glad to have finally seen it!

    You know…the thing is that without context it’s really not the worst thing in the world. She clearly has more breakdancing ability and knowledge than the average person on the steet.

    But it’s certainly odd…it’s like she didn’t get the memo that she was supposed to be doing tricks in her routine, and the few she attempted had poor technique and were not executed very well. It’s like someone pitted some random kid from the high school track team against Usain Bolt. It’s like…ok…compared to the general population who isn’t trained in track and field, the high schooler has some knowledge and ability. But compared to an Olympian? Why are they even up there?

    Except my comparison in this scenario is a bit ironic considering all the kids wiped the floor with her.

    All in all a confusing as hell scenario.

    My job involves organs and sometimes I take photos for various reasons, often to demonstrate something to a physician or to cover my ass (identifying patient info is removed from the photo…not a HIPAA violation). Sometimes my phone likes to show these as memories lol.

    I’m sure that definitely contributed. But I think another big thing is that with the advent of the internet, artists don’t have to worry about censorship as much.

    Back in the day, you used to discover new music through the radio. At least in the US, radio does not allow for curse words to be broadcasted. Sure, artists will often have both explicit and clean radio edits, but some just don’t bother and make one clean version instead.

    Now that many people listen to and discover new music on platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, SoundCloud, etc., people don’t have to worry about censorship as much.

    I could be wrong, though. It’s just a hypothesis. Maybe it was solely rap/hip hop and not much else!

    Yeah I feel like I used to give the nature argument to support being gay, but in reality, being natural shouldn’t just mean that it’s good. There’s rape, murder, cannibalism, danger, poison, etc. in nature. Nature =/= good.

    I’m not saying this because I’m anti-gay. Actually I feel like I’m on a bisexual-asexual spectrum. It’s just not an argument that we should be using I guess unless there’s a better way to spin that particular argument.
