- Comment on Is there anything Lemmy has more/better content for than Reddit and other mainstream sites? 1 week ago:
I feel you, man. Like, I appreciate what Linux is for, but the Linux content here is extremely blind to the average user’s use-case. It makes it hard to take suggestions and input seriously.
- Comment on TRIBES: The Most Influential FPS You (Probably) Never Played [video essay 52:59] 1 week ago:
More likely it’s just an older game now with less popularity, and they expect their viewers to be the younger-ish crowd.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with your premise, but we’re in a really fucked civilization right now where there’s a class of “elite” people who can make decisions that negatively affect the literal lives of millions without worry. We’re not in a fair or stable civilization right now, which is why so many people are on team “nah I hope this guy gets away with it”.
- Comment on alpha 2 weeks ago:
Shekel also sounds funny to us. It might be related to how it sounds kinda similar to shekel, but I think he’s just noting that the goofy-sounding name is real.
- Comment on When did browsers start being able to remember your previous session. 2 weeks ago:
I remember doing similar. I would intentionally kill my browser/computer without gracefully shutting down the browser. Literally everything else I would go and shut down normally, browser needed to be crashed.
- Comment on alpha 2 weeks ago:
I think probably you’re too German. It’s kind of a goofy name from an English point of view. And, for clarity, we don’t necessarily generally think German names are particularly goofy.
Either that or I’m missing what the guy is referencing.
- Comment on I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction? 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like burnout/depression/ADHD over addiction.
- Comment on At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"? 5 weeks ago:
I know that’s what they try to teach you in math in school, but absolutely nobody does it that way in practice, making it just wrong to teach it.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 1 month ago:
He doesn’t need to name a successor. His followers just need to be convinced that he named one.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 2 months ago:
Yes! I’m so sad they’ve moved away from this. I could pull out my phone AND unlock it in the same grab.
- Comment on "Now everyone will have an easy reference table at hand!" 3 months ago:
Yeah I’m vaguely remembering something similar. I have these faint whispers of a memory of my teacher forgetting (or probably, “forgetting”) to cover something on the wall during a memorization test.
- Comment on What is a stupid question? 5 months ago:
Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant “Steven” for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.
- Comment on Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? 5 months ago:
Yeah, but a lot of people come to the agreement that they’ll get married without an official proposal date getting set.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 7 months ago:
Ultra-right wing groups slowly taking over various branches of the government because roughly 30% of the population will always vote for them, no matter what.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 7 months ago:
I would just keep working. UBI should be unlocking the ability for us to pursue our passions, hobbies, and mental/physical health. If I just gotta work anyways, I choose my current job.
- Comment on What side do you open a banana from? 7 months ago:
Yup. Literally just pinch the bottom nub and it’s open.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 8 months ago:
Yes, kinda. It’s a go-to for white nationalist types to complain about a lack of diversity in opinions when they really mean they’re mad everyone hates bigotry. They feel that all conversation is biased simply because the people don’t seem to want to be haters as much as they are. So it’s not really that they want more diversity, it’s that they want the conversations to be diverse enough to accept their views.
- Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating. 8 months ago:
I usually clarify that it’s been a very long time and I want it all gone.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 8 months ago:
Are you wearing shoes without socks?
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 11 months ago:
I’ve also assumed the same. There’s no way it’s a rare enough edge case not to be impactful
- Comment on Honda's commercials saying they are going to be carbon neutral by 2050. What? 1 year ago:
Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.
However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.
- Comment on Free trial has expired 1 year ago:
Why did I wait the full 30 seconds to make my next wish? Once I had the full realization of the cosmos in my mind, it’s time to make a better wish #2.
