Uhhhh I’d so like to see that!

Googly eyes. Don’t leave home without them

Watched it a few days ago. Great talk, as always.

That hall of fame Reddit thread where a guy announced he will try heroin just one time, then comes back to explain how the experience was and how he will try again. Over the course of many posts we see persons entire life unravel as other posters scream of the top of their lungs for him to stop.

Never figured if it was real or scripted, but hella effective.

Jeez! Terrifying. Sounds like something from It’s Always Sunny!

Great way of thinking about it.

Interesting take, but I don’t think I can agree. While typical American humor is often based on question-answer/punchline structure, many comedians managed to excel at purposefully breaking it.

Think about Joe Cera, John Wilson, Nathan Fielder even Jon Benjamin or David Cross. They are all very funny (it the audience that vibes with their style), yet usually avoid the idea of buildup-punchline.

For a more universal surreal humor you need look no further than the granddaddies of the entire school: The Monty Python crew. They often went out of their way to ridicule the idea of a punchline and were/are some of the funniest people in history.

(You could always argue that humor does not equal jokes I guess, but these were just my 2 cents)

Great example!

Unless you’re into a wide stroke gestural drawing, large Wacoms may be unnecessary for you. My illustrator wife just sold hers in favor of an iPad with Procreate and Astropad.

Wacom pen displays have great screens and pens, but are unwieldy, loud (fans tend to break, too), finicky and run on weird drivers that may or may not just mess up your day.

Really bad experience for a product costing multiple thousands of dollars.

I SHOULD GO.

This is probably not much help, but instance blocking is a feature on Sync For Lemmy app. Helped me filter out a whole bunch of feddit.xx instances in languages I don’t speak.

Also, why would anyone who does NOT own a car possibly need these :)

Roses are red Disney Disney

Don’t ever quit.

Screw that. Quitting is healthy, quitting is good. Nothing worse than digging yourself deeper and deeper based on sunk cost fallacy.

Trading one asshole billionaire for another is a losing game. The only losers are users of these services.

It’s like two giant Mecha robots fighting while a crowd of fans of one or the other are cheering on the ground and being squished.

Came here to say just that. Used to love fast food, sodas and candy in large amounts too. Then went to a conference and watched a video of myself giving a talk there afterwards. I hated looking like that.

Thus begun my journey of weight loss. 45kg later I can genuinely say that while some part of my brain still asks for garbage food, I genuinely enjoy eating healthy. My entire taste palette changed, too - and I can now taste flavors that were unknown to me due to overdependence on salt and sugar.

Daily walk/jog is a highlight of the day, and whenever I feel like eating garbage foods again, I just have to think about how it makes me feel not just after - just an hour, or two or a day later.

It takes a while. A long while. But once you develop a habit, a day will feel empty without your routine exercise, and doing it will feel real good.

The important thing is to find what works for you and do that. I bounced off many gym programs and could not keep up with them. Then I hurt my leg and decided to talk to a physical therapist. He developed a program for me that’s easy to stick to, yet challenging enough.

Not everyone’s into jogging and lifting. Look and ask around. Good luck!

Awesome start!

And I’ll scream and spit curses at you if the tip is any lower than 25%
