Advertising, yes but in this case I'll allow it

This thread has been so weird for me because apparently something I've always done without ever giving any thought to is weird to people. I don't give a fuck. It's all in jest, anyways.

Come on dude. Don't tell me you've never drunk milk as an adult. Be honest lmfao

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No it doesn't. Milk can stay cold for ages. Like I would have any meal gone within 10 minutes.

They weren't biologically made to drink alcohol or eat big macs their whole lives either yet here you are.

😟 it's only a drink.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (7 children)

Me? I can't understand why this is such a weird thing to you people.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (18 children)

I mean, I just annoyed that milk isn't even an option in a lot of restaurants. It's something so basic, like.

Can we not go there please

 

It's something I've seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There's accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those conversations seemingly cannot be had without resorting to racism. I hope this site us different.

Right. I have gotten some complaints about this from the report feature so I'll just say a couple of things.

Firstly, everyone. If you think OP is being a little silly then I urge to perhaps try telling them nicely without calling them an idiot. We won't to promote an atompsphere where people are encouraged to talk about their problems without being ridiculed. This isn't the first time something like this happened.

Secondly, OP. You also need to engage more constructively with these people as well. The way you are getting defensive and immediately bringing up your education does not help you. Also you post complaining about here has been removed. We don't really want this instance to be a place where people complain about other parts of lemmy. That just leads to drama down the road.

 

I dunno. Been improving my mental health lately and it doesn't seems to that there's so many subs on reddit where the only purpose seems to be wallowing in misery.

Poem 3 (lemmy.world)
 

I'm far up in the air

Still I see you from down below

You gesture for me to go down

But the wind says there's other places to go

I'm high up

I drift here and there

But there's no company in the sky

I've been everywhere and nowhere

You are down on the ground

Connected to your roots

You're stuck to the earth

Yet you enjoy its fruits

I wish I could visit

But nature has its limits

You make me want to descend

But in a different direction blows the wind

Slipping in and out

of a war zone

No peace, no ease within

I'm on alert

My enemies take many forms

They're everywhere

With bullets from their tongues

I'm on the lookout

A barren landscape with no warmth

My sight has become quite deformed

But it will certainly be clear

If I live everyday in fear

I just want to see the grass grow.

I just want to see the grass grow.

I just want to see the fucking grass grow

Can you see me out here? Are you hostile?

In this scorched earth were I'm from, no one is usually in slight

Tell me please can you show me the way

Its long since time to evacuate (I would like to see some trees)

I am desperate could get shot any day

I could get shot any fucking day (I would to see the seas)

I am scared

I am trapped here in the this war zone

With constant threats but no life

No trees, no grass (nothing but bleakness as far as the eye)

Just relax your mind, of your demons

Just relax your mind, of your demons

Just relax your mind, of your demons

(I just want to see the grass grow)

Just relax your mind, of your demons

(I just want to see the grass grow)

Just relax your mind, of your demons

Just relax your mind, of your demons.

 

I am currently studying in college and part of my college course dictates that I most do a work experience placement. I ended being placed in a charity shop. The first couple of days went well. Its a small little shop in a shopping center so there wasn't much for me to do. So they decided that today I'll do some work in the warehouse where they receive their goods.

They gave me the address but they forgot the bus so I ended taking a bus that stopped at a 20 minutes walk away. I got off the bus and tried to find this warehouse with the help of Google maps. It kept constantly telling me to go in different directions for the next 40 minutes. So I was walking around in 0 degrees Celsius weather is just a jumper. I eventually managed to find the correct area but it was in a big industrial park. I went searching around for 40 minutes and it turns out all they had to identify them is like a tiny wooden sign. So I finally got to my placement nearly 2 hours late. They were quite forgiving about it though since apparently that has happened to a few other before.

 
 
 

We already know that Prince Andrew was heavily involved but who else do you think will be named?

Inspired by a post that popped on lemmy world today about Weird Al it got me thinking. I listed out a bunch of names but the one that I think fits the most would probably be Surfan Stevens. Who do you all think?

 

I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
