I use pomade and it surprised me how often its branded like that. I have seen at least three brands that unironically use flaming skeletons. Also I have to say dapper dan is not great (at least the modern kind).

Edit: Apparently the modern kind is the only kind. O Brother just made it up, and someone took the design and made it real in 2011.

My public school in Louisiana had very similar toilet paper. I’m not sure if its actually the same, but it certainly looks like it.

So you do know what I’ve been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.

I don’t care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren’t switching purely because they hate change, and they don’t care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I’ve been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I’m arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.

By continuing to act like this you are preventing any actual conversation from taking place. You might as well just say “you’re wrong, no I will not elaborate”. If you’re not interested in having a conversation then don’t respond, no one is forcing you to do this.

If you would like to have a less sarcastic and rude discussion, I’ll be here.

American are willing to change things, we just pick what to change, and we aren’t being inconvenienced by this nearly enough to change it.

We are used to 2 liter bottles, so we still use them. We run 5ks because its been a standard distance to run for a long time. Other countries also do similar things, old habits die hard.

We use metric for science and medicine because the benefits of metric are much more pronounced for those use cases.

Honestly, using both really isnt that hard. Its only really an inconvenience if you aren’t already used to it. We aren’t changing it because we’re getting along just fine the way things are, and there are much bigger problems to be solved.

I get our healthcare system sucks but it isn’t worse than countless children dying of malaria.

It might belong there depending on what they mean by easy. Its pretty vague

I have seen countless posts from this community and I still can’t tell what its for

I’m tired of seeing this every time I open Lemmy so I’m unfortunately gonna block you

This is highly insulting. The way I check on my muffins has no relation to my distaste for the orange gentlemen.

I don’t even play the guitar, but if we’re challenging each other to play each other’s instruments, then so be it. Come back to me when you can play with this guy’s tone quality and phrasing. You’ll notice its a little harder than it looks.

I know whatever musicians were playing that faster track put countless hours into learning to play their style, but so does every other professional musician. That to me sounds like complete garbage, just as I’m sure slower lyrical music sounds like garbage to you.

Different kinds of musicians spend their time improving different aspects of their playing. Some of it you will appreciate, and some you won’t. You don’t have to be an elitist about it and pretend your favorite genre is the only one that requires any skill to perform well. Most people simply don’t care how fast you can play those technical passages that are so distorted they sound like white noise to the average person. They would rather perfect their tone and style.

I would say they they are still culturally significant. Just not quite to the extent they once were.

I wouldn’t say one is necessarily working harder than the other. They’re just doing different things.

It probably should’ve been lower, I’ve already given up.

Yeah but what is it trying to say? Is it just saying democracy is good because other people want to be a part of it? Why is it even comparing communism and democracy? Why is it using such a terrible example for communism? Why does it think that this observation is useful for making any kind of point even if it were accurate?

Currently building a wearable pc after being inspired by a Kurtis Conner video. I estimate about a 10% chance of me actually finishing it.

Stimulant medication isn’t a cure, you don’t have to take it every day, and it doesn’t matter when you take it as long as its far enough away from when you sleep.
