I couldn’t find a Community community on Lemmy, so I made one. Come join me and the one other person who’s subscribed so far.

Every time I think I’m out, they pull me back in. -Dog, probably

I’ve seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They’d rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.

“Having money’s not everything. Not having it is.” -K. West

My unproven hypothesis is that everybody’s a little nuts, just maybe not clinically so.

The location and orientation of the wipers and high beams always takes a few days to get used to.

There are plenty of valid reasons to use a VPN that don’t involve illegal activity. I hope they figure out a better way of addressing this issue.

There is no such thing as fate. Life is what it is. Make the best of it.

All ads from the various companies that have hired Matthew McConaughey to teach me the art of zen or something.

Imagine your brain triggering a phantom itch but you having no limbs to scratch with.

It’s not “exactly like” physical media. The license portion is a similar concept. But the difference is that the variables that determine whether I can keep watching the content whenever I want, in perpetuity, lie solely with me as the person who physically possesses the media. The corporation from which I purchased the license can’t unilaterally decide to revoke my access to the content.

Paying monthly for Apple, Netflix & YouTube TV. Paid for a year of Prime just before they announced they were adding ads. Got a year of Peacock with ads last year for $20. Also have a yearly subscription to Tennis Channel Plus.

I usually rotate a few of the monthly subs every 3 to 6 months to catch up on some shows and movies I’ve missed, but I’m getting closer and closer to cancelling them all. Too expensive and too much time on the couch.

Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion (and a bit of science).

The commandment so nice he wrote it twice.

On mine, the piece that shoots water extends when in use and retracts out of the way when not.

He’d cook it to order, plate it beautifully, then bring it out and slap you in the face with it.

Surprised I didn’t see it here, but this is the big one. I was raised in a very religious household and, while I no longer subscribe to that or any other religion as the absolute truth, I still don’t believe in evolution. I don’t think capital-G God made Adam and Eve, but I believe in the possibility that a powerful extra dimensional being organized things and set them in motion so that life as we know it exists.

Maintenance has been negligible - $250 a year for oil changes & a couple hundred for replacing damaged tires. I might check into my state’s tax credits to see if that would make up the difference in cost.

The range problem is that I can’t charge at home. I could probably go as low as 140 miles if I’m willing to visit a charging station every weekend. But, the one to three times a year when I do drive somewhere for vacation or to visit family, I’d either have to plan very carefully or rent a car.

Initial cost and lack of charging infrastructure are the two biggest drawbacks for me. The lease on my current car ends in a year, and I’m looking for a viable EV. But most EVs that are bigger than a breadbox and have a 250+ mi. range start around $7-10k beyond my budget.
