I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is.

There's a trope in old shows that the wife heard noises downstairs.

Elephants supposedly have great hearing. So the joke is that she's always hearing things because her hearing is so good.

Yeah. That's my favorite movie, so this comic played right into it.

The Post had two op-ed pieces on the same page. One writer said that Obama was just another neoliberal hack who’d push a softer version of GOP plans and the voters should just opt for McCain. The other said that Obama was a hard Left radical who would about an extremist agenda.

It's choose your own hatred adventure!

And the tunnels (I-895 and I-95) forbid things like propane, so if you have some of that, you're off to the west side of the Baltimore Beltway, which is already extremely busy. Good luck with that!

(Relatively local person here who travels around Baltimore frequently. I've used the bridge that collapsed on several occasions to avoid the tunnels while carrying propane.)

When this was posted yesterday, I brought up issues with the sample selection (not random) and universe the "study" looked at (people using one of those sites to shop for insurance), and while I think most understood my point, some people got upset at me "defending Tesla drivers"...

4:20 is the traditional time to smoke marijuana.

I wonder how Slashdot is doing...

Looks like it's still going strong, but each article has like 15 comments. And the poll has a CowboyNeal option...

I follow a sub that's all reposts from reddit. Occasionally I think about replying to something, but then I just go, "What's the point? OP isn't here." I don't recall ever seeing anyone else respond to any of the crossposts, either. The community is c/bicycletouring@lemmit.online if anyone is curious, which is a pretty niche topic to start with.

I'm not convinced it's adding anything to the Lemmy experience, but at least those are clearly marked as crossposts and are all posted by one account, so it's easy enough to ignore if I wanted.

On the "all" thing - remember that reddit has a mode, which is the default, that's between Lemmy's "truly, everything all" and "subscribed". In this mode, you'd get popular posts on subs that had opted in to allowing them to hit that page (or didn't opt out, I don't remember).

/r/hockey is a good example - their posts usually generally stayed in the sub, but their Super Bowl post (and occasionally others) would usually hit reddit's front page and bring in a ton of people who weren't subbed to /r/hockey.

This was a good feature of reddit, I hope Lemmy eventually gains something similar.

It's possible I misunderstood your last goal, but if you're planning to have Lemmy comments posted back to reddit, I suspect that wouldn't go over well with reddit's admins after they figure it out.

I've ranted about this before, but the lead pilot as a nurse is a bizarre management decision by Janeway. He has two critical jobs when shit hits the fan.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop looking at memes.

I knew a guy in college that would tell random, easily disprovable lies - he claimed he spent a summer with another guy in our dorm on the beach volleyball circuit, for example. (Other guy: "I haven't seen him since the spring.") He claimed he had enough AP credits to graduate after one semester but still spent 4 years getting his degree "for the college experience". Just random, insane shit like that.

He didn't look anything like George Santos, so I'm pretty sure it's not him.
