I started reading this to the tune of Sk8r Boi by Avril Lavigne, but it didn't work out

My dad doesn't drink alcohol, but is one of these people. He drinks coffee pretty much exclusively, it's rare to see him with even a cup of water or anything else. He falls asleep on his couch with an empty coffee mug sitting beside him all the time.

Omg I hadn't seen this one before, laughing so hard

I go there still when I want product recommendations that aren't full of marketing/ads. If I use a search engine to search for example, "dashcam recommendations," I get a million results that are sponsored, SEO-optimized, or otherwise garbage. If I go on Reddit, I'll find an entire community devoted to the topic with seemingly real people discussing the pros/cons of all different models.

I've tried searching with Lemmy but most of the time I can't find the answers I'm looking for so end up crawling back to Reddit.

I absolutely don't go there to doomscroll like I used to, I've thankfully moved on from that life.

My legs generally don't get cold. Even in that -20 C weather my legs just don't seem to be bothered. I have no idea why, other than I'm acclimatized to cold weather or something, though it's possible there's some nerve issue in my legs that makes me not feel the cold - again, no idea.

Other parts of my body get cold, like you won't catch my shirtless or shoeless in that weather.

On the other hand, if I wear pants, my legs will sweat profusely and get itchy, which is way more uncomfortable to me. I'm also generally a very warm person, and usually sleep at night without a blanket covering me (otherwise I'll sweat all night and be uncomfortable). If I turn the thermostat down then blankets become tolerable, but then everyone else in my house will complain it's too cold.

I'm also aware of the dangers of frostbite, so if I expect to be in -20 C weather for extended periods of time (like an hour or two) then I'll put on pants. If it drops to -30 C then I always put on pants no matter how long I plan to be outside.

Hopefully this clears up some of the confusion, though I expect it also raises new ones.

I don't see anywhere they've done either of those things. The closest they've come is saying on Facebook that they'll stay out of the "policy debate": https://www.facebook.com/ChickfilA/posts/10151226208515101

Being decent to every human shouldn't be considered politics.

This is how I met my wife 10 years ago. It was -20 Celsius outside and I was in shorts waiting for a bus. She came over to ask why I was wearing shorts, which sparked conversations and now we've been married for over 5 years.

They could even have one of the commands on the cheatsheet be to hide it, so anyone who doesn't want it will immediately see how to turn it off.

Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say shit like "chemical-free". Everything is made out of chemicals, tell me which one otherwise I'll just assume you're uneducated and afraid of things you can't pronounce.

I got ChatGPT to write me a silly dialogue ending in this line:

Samantha: "Arthur, how could you?"

Arthur: "What? What did I do this time, Samantha?"

Samantha: "You've put mayonnaise on the roast chicken again! You know I can't stand the stuff!"

Arthur: "But, Samantha, it adds so much flavor!"

Samantha: "Arthur, it doesn't. It just makes everything taste like... mayonnaise!"

Arthur: "That's the point! You know I've always loved it."

Samantha: "I thought you loved me."

Arthur: "Well, of course, I do."

Samantha: "Well, you can't have both of us."

Arthur: "What, you want me to choose between you and mayonnaise?"

Samantha: "Yes, exactly. Do you love mayonnaise or do you love me?"

I was in Dubai earlier this year and the heat index was 53⁰C. Felt like I was being baked alive.

FWIW California at least allows new fathers to take 12 weeks paternity leave. My company normally only offers 4 weeks of paid paternity leave, but my coworker managed to get 12 by living in California. I believe he only got paid for 4 weeks of it since I don't think the rule requires employers to pay the whole thing, but at least he got a lot of time off to help his wife and bond with his new son.
