You can accidentally make a person, but you can’t accidentally make a pizza.

For some reason spam grosses me out but I’m ok with Vienna sausages. Pretty sure they’re the same thing just shaped differently.

Modern corpo playbook.

1. Go too far with something wildly unpopular on purpose
2. Everyone complains
3. Dial it back slightly
4. “We won!”

They do but first they need to have to get a rib removed

Shut up and take my money in 4 installments that I will be unable to pay back later.

I obsess over half of these things and my kids’ mom the other. Our kids never stood a chance.

Straight from the playbook. Announce something terrible, then back off with something bad. Everyone calls it a win.

I’d be interested in understanding if people who think Pokemon is becoming irrelevant spend any time outside of Lemmy or their own circles. I see so much hate for Nintendo and Pokemon specifically, but as a parent and someone who spends a lot of time at kids’ activities, I see no sign of either slowing down.

I may not like Nintendo as a business and a lot of Pokemon games are too similar for my taste, but pretending they are in decline seems crazy to me.

It’s not a good solution, and I’m not recommending it, but if you absolutely have to stay on Windows 10, you can enroll in the extended security updates program to get you to next year:

Yes, parenting existed before iPads. That doesn’t imply that everything they used to do to cope with similar situations was correct, or better. Previous generations of parents used to do things that would terrify us now.

Thank you for saying this. I used to judge parents of kids on screens until I had my own. You never know what’s going on and there’s a chance that the 30 minutes of quiet that family is getting from the iPad is the only peace they’ve had all day.

I kinda miss my BlackBerry.

Everytime I see this warning, I become hyper aware of every single one and it freaks me out.

I have a little collection of these sitting on top of my refrigerator. No one knows it’s there. It’s my little secret.

Bet

I just hope Margot Robbie is ok.
