It helps a ton. Facial massage and neti pots help me survive the worst congestion.

Oh shit, I didn’t know about ESPhome. There goes my free time!

No kidding. I have a disability and was fired back in January for it (investigation and lawsuit pending). There are so few jobs I can do and it really sucks.

Seconded. Alligator Auschwitz is appropriate.

I can help. Hair dies after it grows out of the hair root, deep in the follicle. Cutting it won’t change the rate of growth as there’s no way for dead cells to signal that anything has changed.

Periodic trims eliminate split ends, so the hair breaks less frequently. That’s all it is.

I’m surprised they haven’t called for a recount on elections they’ve won.

You’re not supposed to chew them?! I love oysters but I chew them up.

If only science could provide an answer. It must be a witch!

I’m a secret leftist amongst a bunch of low information MAGA voters (the ones that voted for Trump more because they’re stupid and easily duped than being giant racists) in a few different circles. All they know is I own guns and answer “oh fuck no” when asked if I’m a liberal, so they assume I’m a non-MAGA conservative*. Hehehe.

Without exception, they adore Elno. They don’t realize it but they’re prosperity gospel types (because stupid), so they assume he must be a good and intelligent guy, otherwise Jebus wouldn’t have made him successful.

*Side note: I have one all hot and bothered about seizing the means of production, just using different terms.

I stopped trying to make sense of fascist’s activities based on policy, morality, or even consistency, and now see them as doing or saying whatever is most advantageous at the time, even if it directly contradicts their previous assertions. Now their actions almost always make sense and are very predictable.

You can’t reason with people like this, only maneuver them into a position where what you want is also most beneficial (or least detrimental) for them.

That was over a decade ago. She now receives 49% of merchandizing profit.

I estimate less than half of Lemmy commenters read or watch the related material. Still better than Reddit, where 1/4 seem to be unaware of which sub they’re even in.

Habitual consumption of even small amounts of processed meat, sugary drinks, and trans fatty acids…

The data showed that people who ate as little as one hot dog a day …

As little as one hot dog a day? I eat like one every few months. How many hot dogs is the average American eating daily?

I did the same to my big trumper dad, who was also a narcissist. It’s often the right decision, but it’s hard. I’m available if you ever need to talk.

Rugged conservatism expects you to suck your own dick. No more government handjobs handouts! Unless you’re rich, then they’ll do whatever you want and the common people will pay for it.

Any sources for this? It’s interesting and I’d like to read more.

At the least, suspended with pay while an internal investigation finds no wrongdoing.

Fuck yeah it is! Hawaii has RCV for some, but not most, elections. Still a step in the right direction.

I find it’s more effective if you really lean into it. Break the joke down into parts, then explain each part, then explain how it all works together. It’s easily five times funnier.

Joking aside, this is exactly what I do when people make tasteless, offensive jokes or when I want someone to go away.

That indeed is the joke.
