TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The Healthiest and Unhealthiest Cities in the USEnglish77·10 days agoI’m afraid Arlington cemetery is in Virginia. This is the Arlington in Texas (near Dallas/Fort Worth).
Edit: Lol, I didn’t even look at the healthy cities. I went straight to the naughty list.
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Trump administration pauses student loan forgiveness with no explanationEnglish78·12 days agoThey want the poors to suffer.
There, I explained it.
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Marvel Studios@lemmy.world•The first "X-Men" film was released 25 years ago todayEnglish2·19 days agoI tagged you too! :)
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Marvel Studios@lemmy.world•The first "X-Men" film was released 25 years ago todayEnglish4·19 days agoThe same thing that happens to everyone else! (everything else? Eh, I’m close.)
Manure, the unwashed masses, and blood.
I wouldn’t have said this is Far Side. This doesn’t look like his drawing style. But I could be wrong.
Also, Far Side has some great jokes. I’m a fan.
The bouncer / security guard is asking for ID (identification), but the hillbilly thinks he is asking if he has any “idee” (idea pronounced with a very strong accent). So the hillbilly is asking “idea about what?”
We’re not at the height of comedy here.
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Movies@lemmy.world•Studios are rewriting movies steered by Reddit. A dangerous development – or long overdue?English4·26 days agoOn the one hand, you’re right. They (director and team) should make the movie they want to make, even if it has a complete downer ending.
On the other hand, if it has a downer ending, I’m not watching it. So there’s a trade-off.
Because if I want to feel like the innocent suffer, the guilty are never punished, and life is unfair, I don’t watch a movie. I read the news.

TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?English37·1 month agoI bought a reusable tote for like $3 in the section at the front of Target where they stick all the cheap stuff. It looks like it’s made of woven burlap. It says “Going to Market” on the sides. It’s shorter than the standard reusable tote, but a reasonable width.
I bought it on a whim and thought it would sit in my trunk after I forgot about it. I use it all the time, and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it at checkouts of various stores.
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Against the odds, Gen Z is breaking into the housing marketEnglish6·1 month agoGreat. I’m a millennial. I’ll never be able to afford a home. And I’m certainly not at all bitter about it, as I’m sure you can tell.
Fun fact: it’s very rare for possums to have rabies! Their body temp is too low for the rabies to live.
I still enjoyed your musical parody. :)
The movie Castaway. This gif is sped up, which is making it more comedic looking then it was intended.
This is not how you spell tequila or ethanol.
My job here is done. Spellmaster away! flies off
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do movies always get wrong about your job/hobby?English43·3 months agoThe number of people who are “knitting” in a movie or on TV…maybe 40% of them are actually doing it, and that’s a high estimate (shout out to Miss Marple!). The rest appear to be wrapping yarn around one of the needles and then moving it vigorously, lol.
That’s not how you spell lettuce.
This is what I’ve said since I learned of this experiment. I’m only waiting for the second marshmallow if BOTH of the following statements are true:
-
I want two marshmallows.
-
I trust the adult to keep his word.

TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•What do you think MAGAs response would be if Trump started coming for people's firearms?English0·3 months agoMaybe if he came straight at it, his people would object. If he was going to do that, it probably would’ve been after the assassination attempt. So it feels highly unlikely. But he’s got some options.
Option 1: “Folks, we need you to donate your guns to the police. They’re so underfunded/under attack, they need as much help as they can get.” And I bet a lot of people would do it. Now, would it be ALL the guns they own? Probably not. But they’d be giving them up voluntarily.
Option 2: He targets a specific group that conservatives hate, and claims he’ll only take guns from them. “We’re only going to take the guns from the ____________ (illegals/terrorists/minorities/atheists/jews/liberals), not you good folks.” The cops proceed to confiscate (steal) them from anyone they happen across, including people who voted for Trump.
I also have an open shelf for t-shirts. I find that unless they are rotated regularly there is a chance of dust, which is a lot less likely in a closed drawer.
There are also some clothing items that I want hidden from guests, so those are kept in drawers.
The answer is: do whatever makes you happy.
