I’d much rather receive either of those than something that I don’t need, want or even like that I have to pretend that I really wanted, then either attempt to return it or store for a while in case that person comes over before ultimately throwing it away. Most of the presents I have received on birthdays and holidays fall into that category.

blattrules@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The UrbanistEnglish42·10 days agoThey just stopped using the traffic cameras in my county this year. I’ve been pulled over twice this year now after never getting a camera ticket and not being pulled over for the last 15 years. I guess they have to make the money somewhere. I’d prefer the cameras.
blattrules@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of the stunts in the recent Fast and the Furious movies ?English3·16 days agoThat scene was easily one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen in a movie. The only one that I can say I really enjoyed was 5, but since that one, I just watch them with the understanding that my understanding of how physics and biology work is going to be insulted and I just try to have a good time now that it’s become Avengers with cars sometimes.
I don’t “want” my job either, but I do it to make a living. If local jobs disappear from the community so some rich guy can add another million dollars to his pile, that reduces the number of entry level jobs available locally to people getting into the job market with no safety net in place for them. Just so they can not pass the savings along to us.
Those self checkout lanes are only there so they can cut jobs while charging more for groceries.

blattrules@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•WSJ Drops Shock Exposé on Elon Musk’s Alleged Attempts to Impregnate X Influencers — ‘To Reach Legion Level Before the Next Apocalypse’English101·28 days agoSo this guy has time to be CEO of twitter, spacex, xai, starlink, tesla, boring company, head of DOGE and still has time to try to hook up with thousands of girls online? Something tells me CEOs are pretty useless if you can be running that many companies each week.
blattrules@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If the 90s smelled like sex and candy what did other decades smell like?English1·2 months agoFor real, the first time I went to a bar in a county that had banned smoking indoors was amazing. My clothes (and by extension, my dorm room) no longer reeked when I got home. Going out to dinner at any restaurant prior to that point just meant that all my food smelled like cigarettes, regardless of sitting in the non smoking area. I can’t believe it took so goddamn long to ban it indoors.
Agreed, that and yellow bird habanero are the two sauces that I need to have a supply of at all times.
