'It's inflammatory': Vancouver police officer's patch ignites questions about objectivity in c/britishcolumbia

[–] Donkdonkboom 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Would love it if my police force didn't pick a side in sectarian violence. Is that too much to ask?

She has stitches on her leg. Instead of the cone of shame, she prefers toddler pants with tail hole cut in them. in c/[email protected]

We had to do the same thing with our last dog. The cone freaked him out too much. He would stand still afraid to move shaking in fear, and he never was able to adjust. Pants and even long sleeve shirts for the front legs were non issues for him.

Wonder why he was perturbed enough to make a complaint, seems petty.

Dude looks like a character from a zany fish-out-of-water comedy.

Mike Farnworth to announce final decision on policing in Surrey on Wednesday in c/surrey

[–] Donkdonkboom 1 points 2 years ago

Predictions? Will this be an actual decision or decision-lite again?

Ever been changing a diaper and thought: I wish I could smear this all over their legs and feet? in c/dadsplain

[–] Donkdonkboom 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude! They're called pull UPS not pull downs! Use the rippable sides to get them off!

(Also took me awhile to figure that out)

Do you struggle to keep your house tidy? in c/[email protected]

[–] Donkdonkboom 1 points 2 years ago

I feel this comment! Makes me feel better about the state of things. Entropy, entropy everywhere.

A viral left-wing Twitter account may have been fake all along [WaPo] in c/[email protected]

[–] Donkdonkboom 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Any service where you viewing ads is the actual product is the same. YouTube reliably will serve me up recommended videos with titles like "dumb lib-slammed!" or "pwning liberals at the library" or other random things. I never watch them and am confused why they keep sending them my way. The stuff being foisted on people is just toxic.

B.C. brush fire reportedly sparked by gender reveal party in c/britishcolumbia

[–] Donkdonkboom 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think gender reveal parties are generally dumb. But this is like a very special kind of dumb.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon in c/[email protected]

Played it casually in spits and spurts. Never got that far, but enjoyed it. Very good game.

Im very excited for Lemmy. It seems a bit rough around the edges, but I'm very hopeful for it. That being said... in c/main

[–] Donkdonkboom 59 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Fundimentally, as long as people get enough content to last their commute/poop/lunch break without crawling back to reddit for additional memes, Lemmy will be in a good position to make it.

But I agree with you, discussions about reddit don't make for good content for everyone in a sustainable way. Those discussions I'd wager appeal most to the true believers who left on principle, not the average user.
