Yes. Now that is an unpopular opinion!

Mixing ingredients together to make something even tastier. Not for this purist!

That song would work! Now to convince all the Taco Trucks to play the same song so we know when they’re around the corner.

“It’s Raining Tacos” would work.

The song is not public domain though.

Just to be clear I don’t want to own and run a Taco Truck, I just heard the Ice Cream Truck and wished it was a Taco Truck.

Seems like missed opportunity to me, though.

I stopped being excited for the Ice Cream Truck decades ago, but if I heard the Taco Truck coming around I’d be super excited and run outside with a big grin.

I don’t disagree. I grew up as poor as the characters in this comic and we were definitely not happy like they are. It’s fiction and doesn’t account for the harshness of reality and very callously ignores the lack of a social safety net.

However, the point of the comic still hits home. Life was much simpler when I was young and poor. The complexities and unnecessary stress of the life I lead now seem almost ridiculous in comparison.

I think the message can be interpreted though. It doesn’t have to be taken so literally.

I am the exact same person today in my big adult house with my grown-up job as I was 25 years ago in my tiny little apartment living off $9 an hour. Houses, cars, jobs, promotions…these things don’t really change who you actually are. A 25% raise at work won’t make you 25% happier.

You can still have a job that pays money and benefits and choose to downsize the rest of your life and eliminate all that stress. You don’t need a 3,000 sq. ft. house with a 3 car garage and a marble kitchen island to be happy… You’re still going to be the same you.

The answer to your question is right in your question.

“Logic”

Cold, hard logic no longer applies. Reality is manufactured now. Pointing out a logical fallacy doesn’t change anyone’s mind if that logic doesn’t coincide with their ideology.

Yes. It is too easy to lose your place by accidentally hitting back twice, then everything refreshes.

Yes, please add this type of navigation.

I asked for a “back confirmation” in a different comment for the same reason. It’s too easy to accidentally lose your place.

Please add some well placed “back” confirmations. For example, when browsing All please ask for a confirmation when hitting back before returning to Home.

Blaster Master on NES. I was so addicted. And then I got the NES Advantage controller and it was just pure Blaster Master bliss.

More Trevor Noah please.

Yup. RIF stopped working. Reddit’s official app was a turd sandwich.

I want to say I left Reddit in solidarity with the users and mods at the time, but in reality the Reddit app was just so very, very inconvenient that I tried Lemmy.

Plus you get a nice smokey smell.

When you’re outside all the gases coming out of your car’s tailpipe go up into the sky where they turn into stars.

Duh.

Edit: was looking at the serious answers. I apologize for my sarcasm.

Universal Basic Income. No strings attached. Everybody gets it. There is no income threshold.

• Regular human: UBI
• McDonalds worker: UBI + McDonalds income
• Bus driver: UBI + Bus driver income
• Doctor: UBI + Doctor’s income
• Billionaire tech CEO: UBI + Tech CEO money

Yeah, the inflationary pressure would probably be insane and would constantly negate any progress. I’m not an economist so I don’t really know.

Is it good? Like does it actually taste like steak? Economical to produce? Is it better for the economy and the environment, Hell yes, then.

Imagine a perfectly marbled, perfectly rectangular, gristle free Wagyu quality steak that you could sear in some butter in a cast iron and serve right up.

No animal had to be raised and slaughtered. Less drain on resources. Less land usage.

I’m not convinced that the technology will ever get there, but what do I know. I’m just some dude on the internet.

The Philips Respironics nasal pillow works fantastic for me! Everyone is a little different though.

Three things:

1. Don’t stop until you find the right mask. There are a lot of options.
2. Change is always awkward at first. It will take time to get used to.
3. Adjust your attitude. Most people are already convinced that they’re not going to like a CPAP and are angry they have to wear one. Make the effort to be healthy. Eating healthy and getting exercise aren’t fun for most people either. Getting quality sleep is just as important.
