Too many people treat drinking like it’s some kind of contest imho - like, if you don’t enjoy the flavor, then why drink it, and if you do, then why … ah… quaff it?

He was…thirsty

Do I really want to know what “quaff” is?

he quaffed pint after pint of good, good juice.

No, methinks I doth prefer mine earlier ignorance. :-P

“Midnight Mass” on Netflix, I’m just saying…

Joke’s on them - I got stupider all on my own, didn’t have to go nowhere or nuthin. :-P

B…b…but are you saying that you could not love such a homely creature?

Actually, I jest but if you had like a barn it could still catch mice, plus would scare away any human “visitors” really quick! :-P

Principle of equivalent exchange, check:-)

Well that escalated quickly!

I would love to see where it would go forward from there, but our puny human minds surely could not handle the Eldritch strangeness that would entail… (or rather, we could only do it once, then go insane forever afterwards - sign me up!:-P)

fallen angels, ftfy :-P

There is no possibility of this ever causing negative effects of any kind, certainly it will not ever be misused (like one pilot being pressured into flying 5 planes at once bc… profit).

• Elon Musk, probably

Since when have they not? (Though the reverse is not true.)

Voting is too dangerous for the likes of you, lemme just take that from you there, yeah that’ll be great…

sudo make behave

I’m just going to leave this here, in case anyone needs it… :-D

Why… is there oil there? :-P

Keep in mind that many math teachers are incompetent at their jobs - some of that may have had little to do with you.

Though you are correct that math does involve patience, a willingness to fail often until you eventually get it right, and a logical progression of steps where at each stage you keep track of the results of previous steps.

I’m saying that you can most likely do it! Though it may be frustrating, especially at first, while you sharpen those skills that math should have taught you but bc of cheapening out in education, you may have skipped over. It’s all up to you now though… my advice is that even if it takes you 10 to 100 times longer than someone else to do some little thing, so the fuck what, the important thing is that you can do it! (And if you practice, it gets a heck of a lot easier over time) I love this quote (from C.S. Lewis):

Don’t judge a man by where he is, because you don’t know how far he has come.

Take my angry upvote you monster!:-P

I literally cannot recall the last time I downvoted something here…

But also people tend to be far more friendly here, or at least reasonable. Except for the outright trolls who I simply block and move on (on Reddit there were simply too many to count - basically every post and even comment I would just come to expect it almost guaranteed). I am on Kbin btw so probably a lot of the worst instances on Lemmy are already blocked for me.:-)

And then empty it back out again immediately thereafter, for the uninitiated.:-|

Why does this entice me so, to say this?:

In mudder Russia, Doritos eat you!

Ngl, it somehow captured the spirit of Doritos quite nicely IMHO.:-)
