That’s an important part of it. Let’s say half of it. I’d say the other half is zero-sum thinking about literally everything. If they see someone receiving help, their brain is screaming at them that those resources could have gone to them instead. I think it presents more as a strong feeling of moral right and wrong. They will never understand equity when their brain is tuned so badly wrong.
How do you pronounce the word oil? Where I live it is commonly oool. An oil well is an oool wale. This is more of a boomer and up thing.
My grandpa, instead of saying ‘Do you want to fish by that bush?’ he would say ‘Yaunna feesh by that boosh?’
Sorry I just love accents, language drift, linguistics in general. And I still haven’t learned diacritics
Some people postulate that the pre boomer people of Appalachia, and specifically West Virginia, were pronouncing words closer to the “proper” British English of the 1600s and 1700s. They moved into the mountains and became isolated with low population and few outsiders. This insular culture preserved the language. Whereas British people who stayed in Britain were exposed to different languages and pronunciations which caused language drift.
Do you do the same with the word leg? This is typical in Ohio or another part of Midwest US.
I say egg. People in Ohio say ayyyg and layyyg, drawing out the vowel. Do you do this as well?
Do they have any vastly superior hot sauces for sale?
Sorry I’m being a dick but I really don’t get the Sriracha love. Now crispy chili oil from the same company, hell yeah.
Yeah top 12 hours for me. I want to see new communities.
I like all of it.
Possums are awesomes! Possums eat ticks and other stuff you don’t want around and are immune to rabies. Good animal to share space with.
I was interested, but I can’t click to visit any of the forums.
My cats watch me like, are you done, I need to go.
Probably wondering why I want their poop so bad.
It’s a place to post your photos cropped into squares. You can get gratification there because all your friends have to like your photos.
I hope this one takes off. It could become a classic. Out of context comics is one of Lemmy’s best things.
It’s so hard to do but if you do all the things you are planning on doing as soon as you get home then you can collapse into exhaustion. My wife is good at it. I’m terrible at it.
I’ve already been overly specific on this account and I don’t want to get doxxed. I install and service computer networks of a certain kind.
Believe it or not I watch regular TV! I travel for work constantly and I have TV on in the hotel room. It makes me feel less lonely. That’s how I’m seeing these ads. On my PCs it’s Firefox+ublock origin.
We even have trouble with cultural shit within our own species! Smiling like that all the time would warn me away and I’m from a culture that generally likes smiling. In our closest living genetic relative, the chimpanzee, a toothy smile means “I’m ready to tear your arm/balls off.”
