Rhynoplaz ,

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

Rhynoplaz ,

In my house it's botta watta.

No, not from New England, that's just how that phrase comes out.

Rhynoplaz ,

They aren't wrong.

Rhynoplaz ,

Today's Motorola Solutions is the legal successor to the Motorola that invented the cell phone. Motorized Victrola.

Kids today.... Think EVERYTHING starts with their cell phones.

Rhynoplaz ,

The Air Force pilots would drop them in battle during the American Revolution!

Rhynoplaz ,

He ate McDonald's for 30 days. He was vegetarian and into fitness the rest of his life.

Rhynoplaz ,

Right? Moonshine is old news in rural America.

It's all meth and oxys now.

Rhynoplaz ,

It's alright. Sometimes. I have a personal mission to try many versions of various things, and Mac & cheese is one of those dishes where everybody has their own special way of doing it. Even if it's just a box of Kraft, nearly everyone has their own way of preparing it.

Nearly every homemade Mac n cheese I've had is edible but not enjoyable.

Rhynoplaz ,

It's not really a shocker when you get reminded every year.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

Rhynoplaz ,

"This one has good reviews."

"Wait a minute, How good?"

Rhynoplaz ,

Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmmmm....

Rhynoplaz ,

I might need to rethink the parrot squash bisque I was planning this weekend.

Rhynoplaz ,

Never? I hate the things, but 25 years ago it was the only option.

Rhynoplaz ,

IDARB

Rhynoplaz ,

But ONLY the comments section!

Rhynoplaz ,

Well, not the WHOLE toilet, but he did invent the Floating Ballcock!

Rhynoplaz ,

Checks out. My hometown used to have a sign that said Chicago -> 500 miles.

Rhynoplaz ,

I always point them out to the wife when we don't have the kids. One of these times we might see what's in there.

Rhynoplaz ,

Well yeah, at that point it's paper AND rock. That's twice as strong!

Rhynoplaz ,

So, if we just learn one that DEFINITELY DOES NOT have an evil twin, we should be good?

Rhynoplaz ,

Aww, just like ME!

Rhynoplaz ,

A strong government could take down corporations, but it has to want to do it first.

Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.) (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for some good reading on how to, eventually, best help be a step parent to my partner's children and NEARLY ALL books are geared toward the woman's perspective as though men don't want to be a strong teacher and develop these kids into healthy adults. Ugh!...

Rhynoplaz ,

The other half, is that women are far more likely to buy self improvement books than men.

Between the two, why would anyone write a book for a demographic that doesn't care about the topic and rarely buys books?

Though, I did buy a book on ADHD to prepare for my stepson. So maybe I'm an exception. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rhynoplaz ,

That's such a fun age! And they really start to develop their personalities, so you are getting on board at a great time. Just enjoy the time together, play games, and get your dad jokes ready and you'll be golden!
Congrats on the family!

Rhynoplaz ,

Among us???

Rhynoplaz ,

As a man, I'll confirm that we have issues, but, most of them are self imposed.

I could do without toxic masculinity, and the social rules that say we cannot empathize, cannot have emotion, we must eat raw meat and punch each other so we can pick up heavy things and smash even heavier things.

But, I don't know who you are crying victim to. Men set these rules for other men, and I can't really wrap my head around the concept of men asking men to stop taking away the rights of men.

Rhynoplaz ,

If it's poor vs rich, why even mention gender?

I agree we are all getting fucked by the system. The results of that in my life are different than how it affects your life. The system screws men in a different way than it screws women. It screws black people different than white people. It screws this religion different than that religion.

It just sounds selfish to me when you acknowledge that the problem is bigger than "Men's issues". And although it's not quite as bad, it reminds me of All Lives Matter.

Cancer has MANY symptoms. When someone is complaining about how they lost both their legs to cancer, and you're like "But MY cancer occasionally makes me feel dizzy", yeah, it sucks that you have cancer, and I wish you didn't, but trying to equate your dizziness with amputation just makes you sound ignorant and desperate for attention.

By all means, let's cure the cancer for everyone, but until we can do that, we should triage, and treat the most severe symptoms before we start worrying about the occasional dizziness.

Rhynoplaz , (edited )

If you're not going to read and respond to mine, I'm not going to bother watching yours.

Best wishes to you.

EDIT: Originally the only comment above was reposting the links to the videos. They added a comment after I complained about the lack of one.

Rhynoplaz ,

I went back and saw your edit.

Without going through your experiences, I can't fully understand how you have personally been punished for being a man.

My personal experiences have shown me that no matter how bad I've had it, every situation in my life would have been worse if I were a woman, gay, or had a darker complexion.

I hope that it gets better for you.

Rhynoplaz ,

I truly am sorry that happened to you.

Child abuse is a serious issue and you are right to be upset about how the people, who were supposed to stand up for you, completely betrayed you. I understand that to you, this is the most important injustice that has ever occurred. (For lack of a better phrasing) You've earned that perspective, and I will not tell you it's wrong.

The solution is advocating for victims of abuse, not reminding people that sometimes bad things happen to men.

Rhynoplaz ,

I don't think anyone is claiming that anything is simple.

These are global issues, and I think that by putting the focus on how they affect men, it really feels like YOU are simplifying it and discounting what non-men have gone through.

That may not be your intent, but that's how it sounds and why you are getting push back.

Everybody knows that everybody has problems.

I understand what you are saying and why. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm explaining why you aren't getting support from others.

Rhynoplaz ,

Thank you for sharing. I'm trying to be very careful in how I word all of this, because I've never been through what the two of you have, and I know I can never truly understand, but I am sympathetic to the severity of it.

Rhynoplaz ,

I don't care if I have support from others or not. I'm already used to never having my voice heard or being rejected, it makes no difference.

Then, I guess you don't need anything from me.

I really do hope you find solace. Best wishes.

Rhynoplaz ,

Aktualleee.... It's been almost 9 years.

Rhynoplaz ,

I'm going with the cat in the doughnut.

I invite any armchair psychologists to post their analysis below!

Rhynoplaz ,

I don't know, the apple and the doughnut look a little intimidating to me, but more power to ya!

Rhynoplaz ,

I said what I said.

Rhynoplaz ,

I can't imagine having to live with my natural sight 24/7.

I definitely would not be driving. Probably not walking much either, might not see the bus coming.

Rhynoplaz ,

I was more imagining the current world, but corrective lenses were never invented.

Rhynoplaz ,

The opossum is the perfect socially awkward mascot.

They somehow always look like they are supposed to be there, but they don't really belong.

Rhynoplaz ,

Didn't you hear? Like the mullet, it came back into fashion.

Rhynoplaz ,

Usually I hop in these threads ready to tell people why they deserve to be banned, but dang. There is nothing wrong, ethically or factually, in what you said.

Rhynoplaz ,

He'd probably be Trump's running mate.

Rhynoplaz ,

Sometimes it did! I tried it on a disc that was so messed up, I figured out couldn't make it work any less, and wouldn't you know, it worked for the first time in a long time. Other times, not so lucky.

Rhynoplaz ,

Look at this dummy thinking they have to rewind blurays like they're DVDs! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣😂

Rhynoplaz ,

Funny, I think I'm the opposite. "Oh shit, we're leaving tomorrow, what should I pack?"

Rhynoplaz ,

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Rhynoplaz ,

Was it a white Elantra? Ours did the same and when we researched it, we found out that there was a recall and that they would repaint it for free.

Except that the recall offer expired BEFORE we bought the car.
