the post of tom joad

Haha! I like the luxardo cherries. Better to taste, better to spell.

Yeah i was deliberately avoiding using the name cuz i didn’t know how to spell it either lol

TIL squash are fruit like tomatoes.

Your worst fears are real. They were the bright red jarred ones.

I had a pizza in Mexico with cherries on it and i did indeed hate it.

Echoing other commenters see another doc this isn’t aging at all.

I’m no doc either but swelling like this all the way back to May/June at your age is def not normal.

I know someone who’s young and deals with gout, which sounds kinda similar but it could be a lot of things that could get worse from hesitating so duck that quack and get a second opinion

Booooo joke ruiner booooo

it’s all good

But while you’ve eloquently pointed out the inherent flaw in the definitions we use in this discussion, i could use your same argument against you, reducing your argument to:

“I don’t like this meme”

Because memes, sayings, chants, etc exist to boil down a nuanced concept into a quick statement of belief, you could nitpick em, all of em all day, and while a little mental flaggelation is fun we’d have spent that day missing the point.

Pedantica aside, do you disagree with the meaning behind the saying?

My gut feeling is you didn’t hook a programmer but a debate pervert (maybe shouldn’t have dropped the D word lol). Some people hear that word and turn they minds off cuz debates are simply a game for them to win. I’d just let this one swim brother

Could be down to their location. I mocked my gps to a place i guessed would be expensive (Long Beach CA) and got this

Lol good, glad you’re getting some good advice. Sorry you are dealing with this op, i dunno what you had to do but i have had a tooth extracted at a dental ‘training facility’ and my body won’t forget that, ever

Im assuming if op had to get all his teeth removed he also can’t afford the meds or the anti-drysocket paste that dentists should use to help with this pain. I could be wrong

Smoking can cause dry-socket which is also incredibly painful. I smoked anyway after my extraction because I’m a filthy addict, rinsing with saline after every puff and got away with it, but it’s a risk yeah

Now this sounds like a good antiseptic but wouldn’t that be very very painful?

If it’s unclear, this is a hypothetical conversation between me and a Facebook user. Is there something you could say to an existing Facebook user to get them to change? Context is “convincing, effective arguments”.

That’s all well and good to say to me, cuz i agree with you, but that line is useless to someone who is on a social media platform because others are, and it is easy, and what they know.

These extra choices, the free ones… They gonna work as well as what they’re using? No. We’re not talking about netsavvy folks here. Can you rephrase your previous comment into one that is convincing for someone like that?

Hell, related topic: even Lemmy.world, the largest instance i know of is affiliated with Meta in some way. Do you block Lemmy world? I don’t. I used to but was missing too much. So who would i be talking down to these folks?

"this company is evil” is way too esoteric for most people.

Good point, and to push their argument further… what company isn’t? If they used that rebuttal i would have nothing to say.

Nothing really matters

Thank you, one of those someones is me. Now i have a new dude to peep (and i should read camus).

Edit for the void: one page into ‘The Plague’ and I’m getting chills.

Like gay people sitting in chairs rainbow sits how it suits
