Same here! Some guy I worked with randomly started telling me about a guy he murdered. He framed it as self-defense, but I’ve always wondered.


Yes, he told me he did it in self-defense, in an “it’s either you or me” kind of deadly dispute, and was not caught. It was an interesting story of drugs, gangs, revenge, and a dramatic ending involving a kidnapping where he was held at gunpoint by the kingpin. Sometimes I wonder if he was only testing my trust by retelling a movie, though.
Another time, I met an old-looking guy who was kidnapped by cartels and held captive for two years. He told me he had been starved and tortured and showed me a before-picture of himself where he looked incredibly built and handsome. In an effort to survive, he became one of their best assets with his ability to convince and negotiate, helping to kidnap other people until he was set free. I guess he was trauma-dumping on me.
No, but I am. Your lunch break ended five minutes ago. Get back to memeing. Chop chop!
Why not do it meow?
I’ve been posting more often lately. I’m doing my part, soldier!
It’s a fair question to ask, given the situation with new accounts.

Does this not look suspicious to you?


This was the most infuriating bullshit. Why is anyone listening to Musk? He’s there to line his pockets, that’s it.
Why are we asking loaded questions as a first post in a new account?

Well, I’m into superhero movies, but not the shitty ones. There have been some gems among the pile of crap.


why is every lemming so fucking hostile for no fucking reason
Why is this is all too common?
So many commenters come at you like you owe them money for the stupidest inconsequential shit on Earth.
“Well ackshually…” stfu it was a joke, a subjective observation, someone sharing their experience, a different take. Whatever you want to call it, we don’t need your lemmsplaining when you missed the point, random commenter on a mission.
We have some serious cynics who think everyone else is stupid who deserve the disrespect and it really irks me.

Afaik, some characters do have meanings but are sometimes used for their readings, so their literal meaning is gibberish.
保 — to protect — bǎo
加 — to add — jiā
利 — benefit, profit — lì
亚 — Asia / secondary — yà
I think this is part of why some people end up with weird gibberish tattoos when they translate things literally, because some made up alphabets try to map Western letters to some Chinese characters, but it doesn’t work that way.


Why can’t it never be warm spaghetti? 😭
Lemmy and its users accusing other users of political affiliations without basis while pretending it’s disgusting, name a more iconic duo.


I also want Colorado, but for it to be an even bigger rectangle, the biggest it can possibly be. I’m willing to give up some Mexican territory for this.


Whoa, that’s mind-blowing. I always wondered what kind of jobs there would be for me if I suddenly lost my vision.
Oh, will you look at that. I want to get scolded again for “making a big deal” out of AI in Firefox again. Where’s that jerkface who listed all the AI features at me and told me to “stop bullshitting”? Fuckwit.
