Similar for me. In the moment, talking about dying doesn’t feel like a joke. After you’ve seen enough and come out the other side, death doesn’t feel significant or threatening enough to have to worry about joking about. I feel like those who joke about killing themselves have either never felt like doing it or have confronted it and moved on.

And suicide jokes are probably best kept for groups where you know where people are. A lot of people mask being suicidal by joking around and putting a lot of work into being upbeat, often surprising those who only know them superficially when they commit suicide.

…as long as they aren’t bombing stuff.

Which brings up interesting questions about liberty and if you have a right to help people who can’t ask for help or don’t want it.

I’m not sure how lazy you are, or how much you like to experiment, but someone on Lemmy mentioned Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. While it isn’t hyperbole, it will be a while before you reach this speed.

The big points for me are that most of the steps are, “do something else while stuff happens.” There is no kneading and no need for special tools, although a big container you can mostly seal and something that can withstand having water poured into it while being at oven temperatures are a big help. A mixer with a dough hook is also helpful if you don’t want to put in the effort to mix by hand, but a bowl, plastic wrap, a wooden spoon, and measuring spoons and cups are all you need.

I liked the results enough to buy their book, and everything I’ve made has turned out at worst alright (which isnt a whole lot because…lazy). Depending on the recipe, you can store the dough in the fridge for a couple weeks (do this regularly), or you can parbake and freeze loaves (never done this). Before doing this, I had only made bread in a bread machine, which never worked out too well for me, or helping my mom with kneading decades ago, which I hated.

It also goes to any TV or radio they’re using! The fools!

The one thing I’m not egalitarian about- straight men need to be taught to pee sitting down, or at least lift the seat, damn. I know it’s not all of you, but there are a couple of animals out there that need help. :p

This isn’t really a gender issue, either, but I acknowledge men tend to be more of a problem here. But the solution is simple and egalitarian (or feminist, if you prefer): If you make a mess, clean it up. It also works in places besides the bathroom.

Well, as long as you’re the only one with a busy life, I suppose that makes sense, but you still haven’t explained why I should put in more effort than you’re willing to.

As for the hole in the top, it doesn’t matter if he makes another hole that doesn’t require the top hole first. So sorry for not reviewing the video to be sure. If only I had cautioned that this specific video may not be relevant, but there were similar ones that would be. If only…

That search was 2 minutes of my time combined with previous knowledge. The information you need is there. If you don’t want to put in the effort to find it, why should I?

Rob Bob’s Aquaponics channel has a lot of DIY stuff, and I’m certain I’ve seen him add spigots at some point or other. Here’s a link that I think has him doing something like what you’re looking for. If it doesn’t, some searching through his decade of videos will get you results.

“Technically, if your computer breaks and you can’t recover those games after Valve decides to close its doors, those games are gone forever.” Yeah, and? Is there a storefront that doesn’t apply to? Just how long do you think CDs and floppy disks (and the hardware to access them) last, if you haven’t lost them already? Is it more or less than Valve’s lifespan so far?

That is just brutal.

I went through this in my middle teens. It took 10 or 20 years to go away.

There’s no real evidence that people are smarter today than they were 5000 years or so ago. We just have more knowledge/technology.

I once had the perfect job for biphasic sleeping. I would get up at 4 AM, work and be home by about 1 PM, sleep til 4 PM, stay up til 11 PM, then back to bed til 4 AM. 8 hours of sleep a day, 7 or 8 hours for work, 7 hours in the afternoon and evening for whatever I wanted, and I felt well-rested the whole time. It’s the only thing I miss about that job.

Perhaps. I’m certainly not going to stop you from testing that hypothesis.

The recommendations of infidelity, introducing mentally unstable people into your life, lying…

The facts of your statement are generally correct. The advice of what to do with that were in another comment, so not reducing the correctness of the comment I was referring to. The advice itself can lead to a very exciting life.

One of those rare moments when a statement is completely wrong and completely right at the same time.

If only I had a way to support myself for the next 60 years while I did this, and still be young enough to enjoy it when I’m done.

Maybe the timeframe matters.

Colossal was weird, but i liked it. I could see where people would be thinking, what is this and why am I watching it, but it felt like real life to me. For a movie about monster avatars unwittingly being controlled from half a world away, anyway.

I wouldn’t say those are definitely the best lines in the movie, but probably top 5, definitely top 10.
