  • Unrelated side note…why is it always the uncle thats used as the personification of the asshole in the family???

    I’m an uncle. I don’t get drunk and ruin thanksgiving. I don’t molest my niece. I don’t berate people into listening to alex jones podcasts.

    But it’s always the uncle used in those descriptions. Maybe we should start admitting that sisters, and brothers, and moms, and dads, and even cats can be the asshole of the family! Not saying uncles can’t be…just why is it ALWAYS uncles???






  • No no no. They got the color scheme all wrong. Look at the classic grey/blue uniform. The chest is grey, but the cape is blue.

    Now look at the others. The pink one is pink on pink. You need a different chest color. Maybe a dark purple, with pink cape.

    The green one could be a tan with green.

    The purple one seems to be using a pastel blue. So that one actually seems alright. The yellow one should use a black chest. And the orange one could use a brown for the chest.

    But the biggest injustice??? WHERE THE HELL IS THE CLASSIC YELLOW SPOTLIGHT ON THE BAT???



  • I work a job where I help assist disabled people navigate a major international airport.

    From TSA to their gates is 1/3rd of a mile. Imagine trying to walk 1/3rd of a mile with a broken leg. Or no legs.

    I KNOW my work makes a difference. I’m not enriching some billionaire asshole. I’m transporting the elderly and disabled so they can travel in an airport.

    What makes it discouraging is that SOME of these people make it feel like THEY don’t think I’m making a difference for them.

    I can’t change the shitty experience you had on Spirit airlines. I had nothing to do with that. I don’t work for any airline, but I assist with many airlines.

    They get off the plane, and yell at me because the guy next to them smelled like he hadn’t showered that month.

    I mean, that’s kind of your own fault. You chose to ride an airline that charged you $37 for your ticket, still uses boeing aircraft, and hires hobos off the street to be pilots. I cannot stress enough how little wiggle room you have to complain.

    That being said, that’s only 10% of my passengers. MOST passengers are very thankful that my job exists. So I KNOW my job matters. I just wish my employer would pay me like it does.



  • Well…thats just factually not true.

    I’d say there was a HUGE difference between the mongolian war, the american revolution, and WWIII.

    …oh wait. You guys are still in 2026. Give it a year. They called it “the drone war”. Sponsered by Fox News. The first war Fox News was able to semi-accurately report. Mostly because they were funding/leading it.

    I’ve told people about Lemmy before. I got the same reaction everytime.

    “It looks like it’s just people talking about computers.”

    And their interest dies. Which tells me there needs to be more diversity of active communities. No one wants to come to a small platform, create a new dead community, and talk to themself.
