Not to mention a lot of store brand chips are great too at a couple bucks a bag. Can’t justify 7$ for a sm bag of fritos especially if I sit there and put the whole bag in me in one sitting.

If you cant get to sleep regularly you need to asses your routine, excersizes, and diet and see a doctor if you cannot sleep with those in check <3 don’t put others lives at risk plz

While I agree about automobile centric structure, when rural living automobiles are absolutely the ticket to freedom. It’s a shame more populace areas get designed around maintaining dependence on cars.

Not to be a dick but you need to be more responsible behind the wheel. Driver aids just help drivers get complacent and I don’t want rolling surveillance drones everywhere :c

Remember maga chanting lock her up with Hilary? Time to return the favor.

It’s the next generations problem, and I ain’t breeding so what do I have to worry about 😂😭

I spent a few months in South Korea and packs of smokes there were like 2 bucks and change (Seoul and Gwangju). In USA a decent pack of 72s is like 8 -10 bucks, federal tax is a buck and change per pack with state taxes being 2$+ per pack. That means that on average the consumer is paying nearly 40% in taxes to the government. Black market smokes ABSOLUTELY will provide good margins, selling without tax at taxed price or greater will net black market sellers nearly double their money on each sale which is significantly greater than a lot of the easier to sell drugs. Hell when I sold weed before it got legalized I typically made 25-30% mark up unless I sold pennyweight but then it was a hassle. In the 90s when taxes were hiked on tobacco people were selling black market cartons for less than stores could with tax and making money hand over fist, it happened because of a tax HIKE not a ban! And YOU think smoking is shit, I think smoking crack rocks is shit but people still love it. Not advocating for shit here, just pointing out that there has, is, and will be a black market for tobacco and just about everything else. I have bought illegal moonshine, tax free darts off an old head, and various illicit substances without giving my genocidal gov a penny for it! Of course now I pay tax on weed I buy legally… But I’m getting old and don’t want to take as many risks when there’s a legal alternative.

I ride motorcycles unless it’s snowing or free ing rain out as a cheap way to reduce carbon footprint. It’s incredible how much warmer it is when driving into cities, and as you pass cars you can feel the heat coming out from underneath them. I have tried to explain to climate change bay Sayers that just the heat we throw out of vehicles and ac units and coming off black roads etc adds to the global temp nevermind the emissions!

The public school system was sort of ultimately designed to make good little obedient factory line workers. Not a surprise at all, they want you to think it’s a thing of the past and get complacent. How do you think we got where we are today?

Well where do you think AI got its info from LOL

If you haven’t heard it the song lootkemia by chuuwee is now a decade old and talks about how many people make boat loads off bankrupting businesses (among other things)

Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are. I thought it was stupid when I heard it as a kid, but it’s the damned truth and I turned my life for the better after cutting loose some people I should not have called my friends.

Lol who trusts any firm with their data?

Trump really made them eat their words!

Yes it had been pretty shit since maybe 2016 or so honestly. You can go on any thread of an article on any subreddit and the top comments and top replies are like pre manufactured echo chamber propaganda for whoever is astroturfing or modding that community. Don’t get it messed up, Lemmy is guilty of echo chamber attitude as well but on Lemmy it’s at least a mass of people causing an echo chamber not one likely corporate interest pushing a talking point. Definatley feels more “natural” here I suppose. Or more human? Idk if I get rained on with downvotes here I’m pretty confident every individual one had a person behind it, vs u broke with the propaganda machine on reddit then you get downvoted into oblivion or censored/deleted. And if u get banned here it’s usually only one community that you likely don’t want to be in anyways, so benefits both the banned user and the community. I was glad the api debacle happened because it’s the only reason I learned about the fediverse!

Let’s not forget it’s not all the orange baboons fault. He is surrounded by a gaggle of buffoons that itch to do his bidding, the checks and balances have been bought and paid for. This is a systemic failure of our government that has been guaranteed since big money got into lobbying. If not for big PACS and private donors trump would not be able to accomplish all the shit he has done. The wild dog has been let off the leash and any body that disagrees gets bit. Don’t give trump all the credit he’s not that smart, there are plenty of players in this game that makes it possible for us to get so utterly fucked. Remember this at the ballot box, and make damned sure every person you know does too. Let’s not forget voter complacency is partly to blame here, our country doesn’t fail us like this without our complacency.

Living up to your username I see lol. I don’t concern myself with tags, just the person. There are plenty of aweful cis straights to date, just as there are plenty of aweful queers to date. Being a toxic pos is not exactly tied to gender identity or sexual orientation thankfully, or unfortunately depending on how you want to look at it.

Adults have hair. This whole shave yer junk crap is so u can feel like one of the billionaires diddling kids. If ur hairs are that long just trim them no need to go hairless 🤢

Don’t worry, their all spouting off about how “the president doesn’t control gas prices”. Remember when gas went up under Biden and all the magats said it’s his fault? Now their throwing back about “well the president didn’t control gas prices then but now he does when it’s trump?” Fuck I kind of wish I was half that stupid maybe I wouldn’t be so pissed off right now

She always has and always will be bat shit crazy. Doesn’t mean she’s incapable of realizing trumps destroying our country, or that he took a once respected nation and fully converted it into a circus act. I will say it is good to see "MAGA"s turn on their overlord, no matter how much sense they do or don’t have.
