ah you’re correct yes. i meant when they got to use the press, not invented it
- Comment on Can't wait. 3 days ago:
the main problem with english is that they invented printing first, and then had massive changes in vowel pronunciations lmao
- Comment on Can't wait. 3 days ago:
so the fun thing about the history of the english language is -
writing got standardised just around the same time the printing press was invented, since everyone now had access to the same resources more people learnt to read and write in a similar way. and all was well :)
…
and then something that linguists call “the great vowel shift” happened. where vowels of the oral english language just kinda, did a flip. but because of the printing press thing, you couldn’t just update the ortography… and now because of that (and many other things too, but this is a significant one) english is the way it is :)

ohhh you use those toilet and bidet combos. i only used them seperately so either way i had to get up and clean my hands first
- Comment on Why do you care if a photo is AI or not? 1 week ago:
the physical places that house AI are destroying communities and environments
the AI is being trained on stolen works of artists, writers, and honestly everything that exists online
AI when it works damages critical thinking, and uses human psychology against us
yeah i’m not excited about AI either, i used to be. but seeing the reality of what’s going on just makes me sad about how - what could’ve been a wonderful tool, and potentially, one day, even a sapient companion to humanity - it’s being used
- Comment on When you have wiped once already and your butt has a change of heart 1 week ago:
nono, not that. a full incoming (outcoming?) load that delayed its arrival until you were already clean
and when i have access to bidets i never really use it like a jet poop blaster, i just clean my butt with my hand and then yk, wash my hands. i feel like aiming water in attack mode at a thing i can’t see would end up in me being soaked sooner rather than later
- Comment on When you have wiped once already and your butt has a change of heart 1 week ago:
then into the toilet it goes, and grab a fresh one

you can also just rest your hand on your lap, you don’t need it to be locked on target the whole time lol

i think this is more of a

bidets are great, but they won’t fix this problem

i used to get spam calls about back pain medication, i’m 26, no back pain yet, thankfully. but they kept calling me nonetheless
thankfully i’m european so one day i cited the law to be forgotten, and once they told me “sorry we can’t :(” and i replied “well you better fix that because that’s illegal :)” they hung up immediately and never called me again :D

some of that basic advice still boggles the minds of leaders today
“always leave a way for your enemy to escape, a hopeless enemy fights to the death”
oh what was that? grind all the money out of everyone so they feel hopeless and feel like there’s no way out? yeah great idea let’s do that - apparently every profit centred institution

could you provide a source for all that? it sounds correct, but i never heard that side of the story before so i’d like to know more

you’re more of an intellectual than a “140iq superior intellect” person who is blinded by their own ability to solve puzzles and thinks they’re better than everyone else and never wrong about anything

- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 4 weeks ago:
god i hate the constant “LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW” with passion. i once had to log into a coworkers teams account and apparently windows decided that’s good enough and automatically & without asking linked my entire local windows account with her work microsoft account
one log in took hours to undo
learnt my lesson - never log into microsoft through any of their apps, only ever use web based alternatives (and never on your main browser either, as sometimes logging out is just as painful as logging in)

things change with time, little bumps, little scratches, even if you don’t use something for a while and just leave it out in a room with access to sunlight it will change. maybe striaght out of the facotry they were all identical but your item can become unique literally the second you touch it, if you touch it hard enough

it’s a sad thing really, people feel the need to disclose “flaws” like that because they rejected for them before (or think they would be rejected) whilst it’s just… bro 3-4 years of a difference stops mattering right around when you turn 25

it’s still an asshole move though, only a soulless corporation would ever clutch to the “well actually” of a single point of an average of reviews to deny a whole bonus
even if they were cheeky like “oh you were one point short so the bonus will be 5% less than we promised haha” it’d have been better than a binary yes/no

speaking of those two formats, most of Europe uses both at the same time and sometimes it’s very annoying for us - “you said to meet you at 5!” “oh sorry i meant 15”
