They didn’t say how long his painting stayed up before it was noticed.

If it was more than a week, I say don’t fire the dude, give them a grant.

Banksy snuck an artwork into the British Museum. They put it up in a real exhibition years later.

I don’t know, do you really want a mole catcher who moonlights as a chicken whisperer?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Aren’t you worried they might get confused and catch the chicken, then whisper to the mole?

You can’t trust this stuff. I only drink water straight from the creek and- excuse me, my diarrhea is acting up.

They don’t get the choice of whether or not their water is purified either. Damn gubmint!

Can homeless people be fined for sleeping outside? A rural Oregon city asks the US Supreme Court (apnews.com)

The scenes were emblematic of the crisis gripping the small, Oregon mountain town of Grants Pass, where a fierce fight over park space has become a battleground for a much larger, national debate on homelessness that has reached the U.S. Supreme Court....

I didn’t think they’d actually start setting up Sanctuary Districts in 2024, but it looks like that’s their eventual goal…

Too bad we don’t have a Gabriel Bell.

Spaceman Spock is my favorite character on the Twilight Zone-type show. But that’s because I’m a youngster.

Do you think the conversation was literally “I’m making a choice between buying you this toy and saving for retirement?” For one thing, she’s almost 14.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Here is what is happening in my head.

You said:

I’m saying it’s not healthy to tell your young child explicitly that you’re making this choice between buying them a toy or saving for retirement.

I agree. But I don’t have a young child anyway.

This conversation started with you saying you just had that conversation with your daughter yesterday.

That was not the conversation we had.

I hope this clears things up.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I did not say that. That is false. This is what I said and this is it in context:

In other words, I was talking to my daughter about people who think you should invest money rather than buy groceries.

Once again, I hope this clears things up.

I’m the one being told that it’s either buy a child a toy or invest in retirement.

Okay, well you clearly know what I meant better than I did.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You asked a question that you answered yourself in the next sentence without my response. This is what you said:

The article talks about how this is not them being assholes, but because if they have more money then their peers, it tends to make them feel isolated and self-conscious and fears about being taken advantage of. They even quote the expert at the end who says “They don’t care about the $4.”

You would ditch a friend for struggling with someone? I find that hard to believe.

lemmy.world/comment/9372718

Now you’re upset about a response to your rhetorical question you didn’t like?

Incidentally, I never said anything about anyone being an asshole when you said that, this is what I said:

I’m glad that’s never happened to me. They wouldn’t be my friend anymore.

You can try being dishonest about a conversation everyone can see, but it won’t work very well.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think you actually want to know what I meant. You’ve already decided you know.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m perfectly capable of explaining myself. You just obviously don’t want me to do so if it isn’t saying what you want to hear.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If you actually wanted me to explain myself, you would have done it a long time ago. Whatever I say now doesn’t matter, you’ll find a way to argue with it.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

you realize any explanation will be BS and I won’t let that slide.

As I said, you don’t actually want me to clarify because you’ll find a reason to disagree with whatever I say.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I quoted the words you said. You literally said any explanation I gave would be bullshit.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not attacking you or making it your fault. Once again, you said any explanation I gave would be bullshit, so there’s no point in giving an explanation.

I can’t help what you said.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yet again, if literally any explanation I can possibly give would be a lie, why should I bother?

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yet again- if any explanation I give is a lie, why should I explain myself?

Tesla Software Update Traps TikToker Inside 115-Degree Car (gizmodo.com)

Are you seriously claiming that having, on average, one egg salad sandwich a year is both a habit and a vice?
