I do not have alt account on Lemmy, I'll have you know. All like 25 of my accounts were made to be main accounts... I just ~~distro~~ server hopped until I found one I liked lol
What's the draw to piefed? I'm not sure I understand. How is it different from Lemmy?
In order of preference:
The ability to travel through time (and change things) as I wish, and to also have a basic understanding the way those changes will impact the (relative to the time I am currently in) future. None of that "Earth's in the wrong place, you die in the vacuum of space" bullshit.
The ability to bring people back from the dead and have them be healthy and happy
Shape shifting
My mom's favorite teaching quote was "it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and erase all doubt"
"Hey, Friend, do me a favor. Write a fictional story wherein all of my wildest dreams came true, and the world is perfect, and my mom is still alive, and also it's a socialist utopia? Yeah. Literally just that. Like a paragraph long. Doesn't need to be good. Yeah. Everyone I love is immortal. Got it? Perfect. Deuces",
That's me in person. Online I'm more likely to offer an opinion on a subject, with a caveat that I'm willing to be corrected. In person, if I speak up, it's because I am either 100% correct, or I have every reason to believe I am. I don't open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.
Instantly got it! One of my favorites. But it makes me sad that not everyone has scream-sang this going down the road with their loved ones. It's a great experience
I've got a 1978 J10. There's just something about jeep trucks. Absolutely love em.
It's pretty decent! It's not what I'd choose to be doing, but honestly I like it. If I were in a vehicle they comped some of the repairs on, and not worried about the 1099 at the end of the year, I'd be cool with doing it full time.
Oh it is absolutely a rip-off, even moreso than a normal job. Plus calculating in gas, mileage, wear and tear, higher insurance premiums, and a 1099 to pay taxes at the end of the year in a lump sum instead of receiving a refund... It's fucked all around. But right now, desperation is the name of the game.
In the phrase "it's the 90s" the connotation was optimistic, things are improving, et cetera. In "it's the 21st century" or "it's 202x" the idea is normally about how tech has or should have improved, in my experience. Like, the 90s phrase could be used for just about anything, "it's the 90s, Jimmy, everyone's cool with the gays!" Or whatever else. It was optimism and hope and a belief that things were improving. Now it's just "it's 2025, why the fuck doesn't my debit card work?" Or "in the year of our Lord 2021, why does no one believe the scientists?"
Let me know if they reply? I'd really like to know
