I’m sure you will be surprised to learn after reading that picture of success that I am barely even an achiever.

Hegar@fedia.ioto Futurology@futurology.today•Big Tech fuels 'growth' with crime. 70% of new Facebook and Instagram advertisers are scammers—Meta knows but ignores it to impress investors.9·2 months agoYouTube ads are 100% scam from what I can tell.
At my work there’s a computer that residents only use to listen to music on YouTube and after each song it’s nothing but ai generated ads for some weird trick a housewife found and other blatant bald-face lies.

Rugrats’ animation style is based on the genius Estonian animator, Priit Parn. One of his proteges worked on Rugrats and Argh, Real Monsters.
Hotel E is generally considered a masterpiece and Triangle absolutely hilarious, but all of his work is incredible.
I don’t think this graph is accurate - the lines shouldn’t be so perfectly parallel.
The older I get, the greater the distance between my age and “old” age. When I was 12, 15 seemed old. At 42, 75 seems old.

Yep! Fascists are nihilists. They want only power in it’s most crassly demonstratable form.
Anything they do or say is a ploy for power. Any ally, policy or ideological position is a discardable tool.

Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming?21·5 months agoBelief that heirarchy is a natural and just way to organize humans is one of the central cores of conservatism.
Why would they be against a monarchy forming?
I had the exact same experience
Hegar@fedia.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk asks court to block OpenAI conversion from nonprofit to for-profit28·7 months agoGrifters trying to stymie competing grifts is the ideal use of our throughly corrupt court system. Just the perfect venue for that. It’s like an inception of lies and money.
First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.
I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I’m too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.
Hegar@fedia.ioto World News@lemmy.ml•US State Department Spokesman Cracks Joke About Israel's Starvation Blockade on Gaza16·8 months agoWhen asked about the aid levels, Miller acknowledged Israel has “failed” to meet US requests so far but said there was still time until the 30-day deadline and that the US wouldn’t give a “grade” to Israel just yet. “It’s not the end of the semester. You don’t give out – you don’t hand out grades in the middle,” he said while laughing.
Calling that a joke seems… generous.
Stinky tofu is usually fermented directly in rotting vegetable matter, I believe. But that sounds like the flavor, yeah.
Have you tried deep frying it? The crispy outside and soft inside is delightful. It’s often served with a little cooked cabbage.
Stinky tofu is much milder in flavor than aroma. At least the stuff I ate in both Yunnan and Taiwan was, Hunan may have a different kind.
I found it incredibly tasty, like a mild gorgonzola. Fried or boiled in soup are both amazing.
In Taiwan it’s super convenient because as soon as you get punched in the nose by the aroma of hot, unwashed crotch you can follow that scent and you’ll almost always reach an amazing night market with a range of delicious food and other vendors.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the funniest thing(story) that happened to you (let's keep it clean and at least PG-13)9·8 months agoWhen I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.
I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Memes@lemmy.ml•Vote for/against whoever... but don't forget who the real enemy is.54·8 months agoIf you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you’d look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who’s not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.
Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Memes@lemmy.ml•Vote for/against whoever... but don't forget who the real enemy is.78·8 months agoYeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that’s a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.
Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.
I don’t like it either but it’s time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.
Amateur flint knapper.
