  • I adore oysters. You could have spat it out into my mouth and I would have eaten it.

  • I've found Lemmy the most gender diverse friendly place yet. A lot less 4chany/reddit/spezpedo than anywhere else.

  • NNNNNAAAAASSSSDDDDAAAAAAQ!!!!

  • They are taking early retirement. Shit, I'd be on a hobby farm now if I could afford it.

  • Uncivilized nightmares.

  • Riker to Bridge - If you need me I'll be on the holodeck.

  • The suicidally/omnicidally corrupt.

  • I'm fluent in Quebec swearing. Please teach me Dutch cussing out of someone.

  • I'm begining to understand your frustrations with friends.

  • This is also not a healthy response.

  • The NYT is a thief and a liar, so they would know.

  • This is very unhealthy and not representative of what's really happening. A therapist could help you with your dissatisfaction.

  • No, but be mindful there are many kinds of friends of varying degrees of closeness. A distant friend might fit your description. A close friend could be more attentive.

    Keep in mind that people are busy, have work, families, tragedies and dramas of their own. It isn't always easy to be responsive to the level your suggesting.

    Also, Marshall McLuhan said "The medium is the message". Your complaint...

    "I'm left on read for days, meetings are ignored, text message conversations just end abruptly until they get back from vacation....

    Those are asynchronous mediums. They are meant to get back to you when convenient. If you wanted immediacy, have a phone call, visit in person. The medium (asynchronous written messages) is the message (you don't need to respond right away).

    It is not reasonable to expect someone on vacation to be tied to you electronically. They are on vacation! Leave them alone until they come back. Then have your convo and spend time with your friend.

  • "the idea of being raised as child without any explanations about the world or comforts to be held, scares me."

    What a strange thing to say. What makes you think atheists do this? I tell my children what we know about the world, and what we don't yet know. No need to make up anything short of Santa and the Tooth Fairy, but they grow out of this fast.

    "Also, on the opposite of the spectrum, what happens when your child converts(?)"

    I can only speak for myself, not atheists, but my kids are encouraged to make up their own minds. I take every opportunity to discuss religion and my kids even go to a catholic school. I consider it essential to understand history art and culture.

    That said, they are very comfortable with atheism and they don't find any of religion comforting, quite the opposite. It's disturbing to them.

  • It's probably the highest priority in geopolitics and national defense at the moment.

    I'd like to see more coordination between middling powers on this front across software and cloud computing.

  • Jerk chicken is pretty good, but why wouldn't I use that on my slave? Too spicy?

  • Weird, because you could convert the cooling to distillation and make drinking water. But, as is tradition, suffering is the point.

  • How does one eat a slave? What are the best methods of preparation? Any recipies to share?

  • After the first few years it became easy. Babies up all night were rough, with colds and ear infections. But ever since and now in their teens, its easy. I'm more worried about when they are gone to uni in a few years, and my wife and I become empty nesters. We're going to have to work on a lot more socializing. ;)
