Check out my thicc cortex baby. You like?

choo!

There would be plenty of material all over the place but none of it usable.

And yet it is somehow diminished by this fact.

I made the comment and I am wracking my brain for what I originally meant.

I think what happened is this: I, a left-handed person, incorrectly identified the Michigan mitten as being a left-handed mitten rather than a unisex (for hands), and then I mistakenly misidentified the actual hand itself as being a right hand.

With these two thunderously incorrect facts in hand, I made a joke that implies that ‘of course a righty dominated world would be unable to even see how a left-handed mitten could be mitten shaped.’

Only it was a confusing joke because (a) a common feature of mittens is that they can fit on either hand and (b) the hand in the mitten was a left hand anyway.

At least I think that’s what happened. I was pretty high then, and well, I’m pretty high now too.

Lefty erasure

Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don’t like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.

As a homeschooled kid, I usually had the opposite problem. Mispronounced so much shit.

Pleased and surprised to see Philippines so well represented but surprised it isn’t a larger asian country like Japan.

Congratulations. That is not easy to do!

I just wrapped up a delightful trip with my bride of 20 something years and got a job offer for a different position in my company during the trip.

It was a practically perfect trip, but I’m also very excited to go home because I have 4 more days of vacation left and I can’t wait go be reunited with my cats, and relax around the house for a few days.

If Lemmy is social media, then Lemmy is my only social media app. I have Mastadon installed but I never use it.

I think it has been a decade since I used Facebook or Twitter and I never tried any of the later generation of networks like Snap or TikTok.

Not as extreme as the case in the OP, but I’m often surprised how “meh” a reaction Don’t Look Up got. Maybe people think it was heavy handed? Too on the nose? I don’t know but most folks seem to think it was at best merely “okay”.

For me, I place it next to Idiocracy as one of the most prescient films about what is in store for us. I think after this last election day, it seems even more prescient. On top of that, it is legitimately funny with really good performances, especially from Jennifer Lawrence.

Agreed. I’m hoping she is staying mum to avoid fucking up fund raising for now, but we will see.

Khan is such a fucking badass.

I guess it is a good thing that this is seen as a problem worthy of addressing. I tend to comment more than I would have on reddit, as a means of just driving up activity and engagement on this comparatively low traffic alternative, and so I will definitely go in for some low effort joke cracking just to get the ball rolling sometimes. Maybe that’s not as needed anymore.

You have said much better what I was lazily leaving to inference. Yes, it is access to public transit.

How embarassing for you that you aren’t able to pick up Trump’s expertly delivered sarcasm.

Honestly geography seems to be the most important factor, rather than generation.

Dang so that daylight was from the explosion?

What time of day did this occur?
