I have friends who are still religious and it seems like they’ve pivoted from “lake of fire” to a more “hell is the absence of God” vibes
I live in a crunchy granola area so I just assume that’s how the church here operates to keep patrons.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.
Fly fishing
Got yelled at as a kid for playing with your pole too much? Then it’s the hobby for you. Can practice in your backyard and it’s fun just to whip shit around
We’re just calling everything ADHD now
Hong Kong
I just expected like a flat New York “too tame to be fun” city but was met with mountains, beaches, and so many bizarre but charming events.
Not that I don’t like New York but it has changed a lot. I don’t want to say it lost its personality but I feel like a lot of big cities have become idk… commercialized?
The food in Hong Kong was pretty disappointing tho or maybe I built it up too much in my head. I went to so many restaurants that were recommended to me by either locals or expats and they were all so bland. Which is wild because I didn’t have to go far across the border into China to find amazing dishes.

For some reason I won’t watch dramas, but if you dress one of the characters up in a rubber alien suit and then slap a sci fi tag on that bad boy I’ll eat it up
Subaru had a fun campaign targeting lesbians in the 90s after they noticed that lesbians were driving their cars.

My hobby project car right now is a “lesbian wagon” for my niece
Naturally as it’s a JS Subaru the bushings are shot
Idk, the only places that sells boneless “wings” are usually crappy chains that coat them in a half inch of breading then coat em in a syrup of sugar. I’ll stick to just wings without quotes thanks
That’s a terrible price since boneless wings are chicken nuggets
That and even if I agree with a lot of the posts you’ll notice that they’re posted by the same people at a very alarming rate. I’ve ran through and blocked anyone who posts the same topic every 6 minutes. Since then my feed has been less monotonous and slightly more authentic.
I guess I’m asking because everything I’ve learned about America seems to not be what I was told? Idk how to explain it. Like it feels like USA is one event away from ~~a civil war~~ outright corruption and turning into a D class country.
Might be time to check how much doomscrolling you’re doing. You can drive from Miami to Seattle and you’ll just run into the same dude but with maybe a different flair.
The news and politicians try their hardest to make it look like we’re one single-issue vote bait away from war.
My wife and I did those $300 10 segment passes and it was alright but got the feeling it was for poor college students. We basically went around the USA counter clockwise starting in NC.
I’m glad we went but it really highlighted that for us the adventure is the journey not the destination. We love roadside tourist traps and shit so we didn’t get to do a lot of those.
Yeah I’m always glad that certain communities are thriving on here but they tend to bleed over into every single thread.
I find it most annoying when someone’s just casually venting and someone else comes in swinging. I get that it’s especially hard on the internet to tell if someone’s venting or looking for solutions.
Like at this point I think it’s safe to say everyone on Lemmy has seen the same pro Linux, fuck cars, and fuck capitalism posts a million times. I think we do without one post dogpiling on some poor dude if they’re like “man traffic sucked the big one today!”
Swifties go harder than metal fans, confirmed.
You can find humor and be outraged. This is the tenth rapey priest story posted this hour alone. If you cried over each case you’d die of dehydration by lunchtime.
by insinuating such an important cultural instrument is a shallow blowjob joke.
Your original implies the instrument itself is the joke but I’m saying anything he’s tooting on in this instance would’ve been hilarious.
Idk this just feels like one of those things you gotta laugh about because the main topic is so fucked.
I can get that but I feel like it’d have the same effect with like a trumpet.
You know whoever chose the main article image was giddy af when they found it for this article.
