  • You will be making a terrible, stupid and wholly avoidable mistake that can never be undone if you allow others to keep you from attending your own fathers funeral because they make you uncomfortable.

    E: you are giving ground by not attending. You already have the right to the ground, you were explicitly asked to attend the funeral. If you choose to be bullied out of the funeral you are giving up the ground you were invited to occupy.

    It is an act of cowardice, a retreat, if you don’t attend.

    If you’re truly above these people then don’t let them push you around and honor your dying loved one’s wishes in spite of their bullshit!


  • They are used to getting “non-political” content because Reddit kicked out the “political” people and closed the “political” subs.

    Going to the place that those people and communities now reside and complaining that everything feels “political” is ridiculous, but there might be good reasons why a person would do it, like you said.

    You’re right that it’s not unreasonable to ask for what they’re asking for. That’s why I tried my god damnedest to clearly and kindly explain that this might not be the right place for them. Not everywhere needs to be for everyone. It’s not an insult to tell someone they’re looking for the library, this is the bus terminal.

    Others are espousing different ways to harness the technology using blocks and a subscription feed. If someone believes that an alternative to corporate social media should be for everyone (an explicitly political belief!) then that will be borne out by successful block and sub use. The user might also not succeed at using those tools. In that case they don’t have to stay. They can recognize that they want the curated, “nonpolitical” experience of Reddit. I am not making a judgement of them for wanting that, only recommending they go and get what they want.






  • Lemmy was created because of Reddit censoring political content.

    If you don’t wanna see political stuff go to a different website.

    The above is not a value judgement. If I did not want to be exposed to the sun and the public then I wouldn’t go to a park. If I did not want to be exposed to loud car sounds and screaming fans I wouldn’t go to the racetrack. It’s okay that you don’t want to see political stuff (you should think critically about what you think is political and why). You don’t need to go to lemmy or any other fediverse thing. You can just be a Redditor.

    lovingly, with approval and understanding go away.

    I’m not dismissing what you like. I just used a very common definition of burger for the question of “how many burgers can you make for $25.”

    The food has changed a lot in the last few decades. The McDonald’s quarter pounder used to be advertised as a big burger. That’s just four ounces!

    Restaurants may not actually sell you a $25 burger, but the $15 burger is made possible because you get a minuscule amount of the expensive ingredient and they can turn the leftover avocado or bleu into guac or Cesar salad and sell that to you as well.

    I can’t recommend moving to multiple smaller patties as opposed to one big one enough though. You get more flavor that way, they cook faster and there’s a very convenient place to put more cheese.

    I like my burgers that size. With the meat hand mixed, salted and peppered etc it adds a lot of flavor to the rest of the thing without being overwhelming. Double or triple will get you more meat without sacrificing crust or cook time. That is of course, more burgers on your sandwitch.

    I thought a buck fifty was high for buns, but not everyone has a bakery thrift so I went by Walmart’s generic price for gv brand buns. You should not sleep on the Walmart bakery if there is one near you, they have ~$1 unsliced loaves.

    Adjusting for tax is easy. Just multiply by your grocery tax rate like *1.08 or whatever.

    The person said hamburgers and if you order a hamburger you don’t get cheese. At this volume though it almost makes sense to put the kraft singles back on the shelf and use half slices of velveeta. Much cheaper and tbh on a generic burger perfectly tasty and very photogenic.

    All the way is not “barely any toppings”. Pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and mustard is a good burger!

    I got half a mind to cook burgers tonight and double check my math but my wife would be pissed. 😡 Why are there two dozen fully assembled cheeseburgers on a half sheet in the fridge! 🤷 To test my abilities, also we need to buy more velveeta to make broccoli cheese soup so girls night is cancelled.
