- Comment on Anon gives up dating apps 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend a bar either. Try taking a class, joining some sort of athletic thing (jogging, cycling, yoga) volunteering somewhere. Go to a place where you’re doing an activity with a group, and the focus isn’t dating. Takes the pressure off and allows for getting to know people naturally.

My friend working at a major museum in the U.S. brought me up to the roof once, and as we were walking down dusty dimly lit halls he pointed out some pole weapons which were determined to be fake but the conditions of the donation were that they had to keep everything, so they were just leaning in a corner.

Yeah, who are they calling apex predator, take a look around.
- Comment on How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow. 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t listen to this advice, personally. Driving with an expired license is more black and white than speeding. With speeding could have been other cars around that the radar was picking up, the radar might not have been calibrated recently, the cop might decide it’s not worth showing up.
I’ve pleaded not guilty to several speeding tickets and got some dismissed and some reduced (I lived in a rural area as a college student and they made a lot of money that way)
One time my sister got a ticket and asked me the process to expect when you plead not guilty so I told her - but I didn’t know she got the ticket in a school zone. When she got there the cop got up on the stand and ran through his certification to operate the radar and when it was last inspected and they asked her how she could explain that she could possibly be not guilty and she got whatever the big fee was. (Which I assume she would have had to pay anyways but without the embarrassment)
It’s not in dispute that your license is expired, and I would think hard to dispute that you got pulled over while driving. Given those two facts I don’t see an advantage to pleading not guilty, you might just annoy the judge, which decreases likelihood of lenience.

Like others said. you’re not going to jail. You’ll be ok. You’ll get a fine and maybe points on your license.
- Comment on If I was a secret immortal how long could I keep the same US ID for before I get taken away for study. I'm thinking 150 years. 1 month ago:
When your id says you’re 100 and you look 21 it’s going to cause issues.
You want to get away from ever needing an ID. The wealth you gain from compounding interest should allow you to hire accounting experts who will handle your transactions and hide your wealth among shell companies. I think once or twice you could go with the “this is my child, me Jr” routine, but eventually you need to have some kind of emissary who conducts business on your behalf while you cycle through fraudulent ids and move around every 20-30 years.
- Comment on Primitive Technology: A-frame Roof Tile Factory 1 month ago:
I love primitive technology and watched this before I saw it posted here. That said, seems like he’s revisiting projects he’s already done. He already made clay roof tiles and an a frame hut. He’s made multiple videos about bellows, and about gathering/refining ore pellets. He can do whatever he wants and I’m happy to watch, just wondering if there’s a greater plan or he’s just messing around.
- Comment on I'm as white as snow but I'm still not white enough to eat this. 1 month ago:
No worries, just making a joke and not saying it’s a reflection on your character.
When I see “I’m white but not white enough to eat this” I interpret that to be saying some people are unreasonable in their aversion to spice. What did you mean?
- Comment on I'm as white as snow but I'm still not white enough to eat this. 1 month ago:
Yeah, people should only eat the things I like to eat
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Sure, thanks for highlighting that. I wasn’t implying anything about the lesson we should take away, just that the article didn’t seem particularly information dense, it was mostly recapping a reddit comment.

Short version: Reddit commenter says their resume system was automatically rejecting all candidates because it was looking for familiarity with the language “AngularJS” instead of “Angular”.

How widespread was this? I grew up in the 80s/90s and pre GPS we just had a map in the car. I’ve never heard of such a hotline until seeing this post.
- Comment on Is there a wig that doesn't heat your head? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were something about different types of wigs that make them hotter than just having natural hair. That said, I’m not sure we have people with subject matter experience in the thread here.
Like this thread over at the wigs subreddit is already talking about terms I’m not familiar with, so that seems like a promising place to start.
I’m on lemmy because I disagree with the ownership direction at Reddit but they have an enviable user base in terms of size and diversity.

- Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently? 2 months ago:
I’ve seen people say there’s good weird and bad weird, and if you don’t mind calling yourself weird it’s probably the good kind.
As for calling maga people weird I think it’s effective because their whole deal is about vibes. “We’re strong, we’re smart” and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It’s also not something you can “debate”. Either people accept it or they don’t. What are you going to say “no, I’m not weird”? Sure thing buddy.

- Comment on make sure to mention more than one or two cherry picked cases in your argument 3 months ago:
I interpreted it to be added because the last time this was posted (without “citation needed”) someone in the comments pointed out that in real life, the woman on this air pistol team actually performed worse than the man and affected their final score.
Not sure the point is really conveyed without knowing that context. But also I don’t think the original was that good either.

- Comment on What other animals "make music" together? (Specifically harmony or rhythmic coordination) 3 months ago:
You and the other commenter are right, I don’t expect birds to be like “let’s both chirp and make a minor third interval”. I’m sure if they harmonized it would be for whatever sounds right based on how they evolved and learned.
What I’m getting at is it’s not harmonizing if they just happen to be making sounds at the same time. For the purposes of my question harmonizing is when we’re intentionally making two distinct tones simultaneously.
So two birds that are just chirping along their individual songs and they happen to overlap so they each chirp complimentary notes isn’t what I’m interested in. I want to know if any animals mean to harmonize.
