Instantly got it! One of my favorites. But it makes me sad that not everyone has scream-sang this going down the road with their loved ones. It’s a great experience

I’ve got a 1978 J10. There’s just something about jeep trucks. Absolutely love em.

It’s pretty decent! It’s not what I’d choose to be doing, but honestly I like it. If I were in a vehicle they comped some of the repairs on, and not worried about the 1099 at the end of the year, I’d be cool with doing it full time.

Oh it is absolutely a rip-off, even moreso than a normal job. Plus calculating in gas, mileage, wear and tear, higher insurance premiums, and a 1099 to pay taxes at the end of the year in a lump sum instead of receiving a refund… It’s fucked all around. But right now, desperation is the name of the game.

In the phrase “it’s the 90s” the connotation was optimistic, things are improving, et cetera. In “it’s the 21st century” or “it’s 202x” the idea is normally about how tech has or should have improved, in my experience. Like, the 90s phrase could be used for just about anything, “it’s the 90s, Jimmy, everyone’s cool with the gays!” Or whatever else. It was optimism and hope and a belief that things were improving. Now it’s just “it’s 2025, why the fuck doesn’t my debit card work?” Or “in the year of our Lord 2021, why does no one believe the scientists?”

Not sure; I just started doing it about 2 weeks. It’s my only source of income right now. In the town I’m in, I can typically make 20-30 dollars in a night (4ish hours), earn by time isn’t available here. But in Knoxville, I can make between 1-2 hundred in a night in the same amount of time. It just takes a 45 minute drive to get there

I switched to the earn by time thing on Dasher because of the waits at Taco bells. It’s insane. I spent an hour waiting on two orders the other day, one of which was 3 cheese wraps and a Baja blast, and the other was just like some fucking tacos and a burrito. It was absolutely unreasonable. But hey, dash by time, I got paid like 15 bucks for standing there scrolling through Lemmy

Fuckin’ same. My void demands so much dick it’s crazy

It’s so good, isn’t it?

Yorkshire. Jodie Whitaker’s accent. Fucking love it so much. The way she says radio in the Tesla episode? OMG. I love everything about it.

Also genuinely love Indian accents, and several southern US accents, but not all of them. Not a big fan of Appalachian or west Virginian accents, Kentucky can okay depending on the region, and coastal Virginia is pretty good. Western Virginia (not west Virginia, but the mountainous western portion of Virginia) can be grating to me.

Charleston accents are chef’s kiss, and the accent I was born into until I forced myself into a general American accent as a kid

Verbal Tic Rice!

The whole idea behind it was radical unity, internationalism, and bringing disparate people together on equal footing. Instead of me speaking a language I’ve known since birth, and you speaking a language you are just capable of understanding, and both of us trying to plead our case to the government, the idea is that we would all have an auxiliary language to compliment (not replace) our mother tongues, and we would both be capable of making yourself understood equally.

Those ideals don’t really jive with hard nationalism and pseudoscientific ideas around superior races

Congratulations, you managed to get offended by a historical tidbit about a constructed language!

Oh, and pissing off fascists is always good. Period. Full stop. If you don’t think that’s true, perhaps it’s time for some introspection!

There’s a daughter language called Ido that’s done away with gender, iirc. And I believe there’s some gender neutral ways to get around it in the community, but it’s been a long time since I’ve attempted to do anything with it

Esperanto! Yes, there are better conlangs, yes, it’s eurocentric, and yes, there are ways to improve it or even come up with something better. But it has a cool history, it’s tied to socialist movements and anarchist movements, it is fairly easy to learn (especially for speakers of European languages), it’s grammar is super simple, it uses a system of root words and affixes that make me think of Legos, and it has real, native speakers already, meaning it is a living language that has changed over time, and is fully capable of being used exclusively to communicate efficiently.

Plus, the fascists fucking hate it

Can someone tell me what darvo tactics mean? Or tell me if I just don’t want to know. I’d Google it, but OP mentioned CP and if it’s related to that, I don’t want to Google it :(

“can I get a happy meal, extra happy”

Immediately gets infected by an alien parasite

mampf is amazing

Absolutely! Do you dare speak out against the words of the prophets‽

If anyone is interested in philosophy, religion, or just want to archive it for historical reasons, IIRC sacred-texts.com has a USB version of their entire archive. They sell it, but I’m sure someone could find a work around there, if they were opposed to supporting them* for some reason. It’s a massive collection of philosophical and religious works, and I believe they even have things like constitutions and legal works, as well.

*I know nothing about the people that run it or their ideology
