- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 4 days ago:
Is this a joke question? Like others have pointed out, gender affirming care is even more popular among cis people than trans.
- Comment on Why does all AI graphic design have the exact same style? 5 days ago:
IDK, I started blocking ads on every platform 20 years ago and haven’t looked back. Nothing gets through in any app on every device I own (PC, phone, watch, TV, etc.). I will go out of my way to make sure that an ad can never get to my eyeballs using every available tool at my disposal: browser extensions, alternative DNS servers, patched apks—you get the idea.
I can’t wait until we have AR glasses that can adblock billboards and other ads in public too. We’re less than 5 years away from that tech being mainstream IMO.

No, just the good reddit content, lol
Like what is shown in OP’s screenshot. Niche content too, 'cause that pretty much doesn’t exist here. - Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 5 days ago:
No I mean that I don’t want to go back to reddit. Dodging a ban is easy, but fuck reddit. I can’t stand all the low IQ MAGA-types and general American stupidity there. At least Lemmy’s conservatives have enough brain cells firing that you can have a proper debate with them…
- Comment on I regret to inform you all that I will not be purchasing the OoT remake. 5 days ago:
Personally I can’t wait for the OoT remake to inevitably get it’s own Ship. It might take 20 years, but I’m willing to wait that long to finally be able to play the definitive version of OoT.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 5 days ago:
Good. Lemmy needs more content. I hate that I miss out on so much by being here, but I can’t go back to reddit. Therefore I welcome the bots with open arms.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Please, for my mental health: point out WHERE I was being an asshole in my original comment! I legitimately DO NOT see it! I was just trying to HELP!!!

Hey, I wasn’t the one making the “stupid waste of time”, and sarcastic “boomer” comments. Y’all started first.
Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. If you’re nice to me, I’m nice back. If you’re not, then I’m not. It’s not complicated. Be nice.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 6 days ago:
Dude I’m not the one who started with the insults. If you roast me, I roast you back. If you’re nice, I’m nice back. Golden rule.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 6 days ago:
Funny you say that because your UI scaling looks exactly the same as mine when I scale your screenshot to fit my screen.
BTW, what’s with all that wasted whitespace in your Lemmy app? You could easily fit twice as many posts there!
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 6 days ago:
That’s what I’m saying!!! Thank you; I thought I was going crazy. I can’t believe my fellow Lemmings are this against changing your UI scaling to actually match the screen you have…
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 6 days ago:
My phone has a 5.7" screen which is about as normal as it gets. It’s okay to be embarrassed because you didn’t know about the setting. It’s the very first thing I change when I get a new phone.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 6 days ago:
Don’t be a dick; this is the very first setting I change when I get a new phone, and I can’t be alone in this. So no, it’s not a waste of time, you just can’t admit that you weren’t aware of the setting.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 6 days ago:
Holy shit, dude, I can’t even tell what this post is about because your UI is blown up way too big and it’s distracting me!
Please, allow me to show you how to fix this: Go into Developer Options, and then do a search for “minimum width” (sometimes it’s called “smallest width”, depending on the device), and increase that number until you can actually fit a decent amount of content on the screen. A setting around 450-550 works best on most screens.

No, the problem is that their selfish asses made it about themselves. A funeral is not a place to gawk at and take pictures of a body while people are mourning, especially when you were never there for the person. If you can’t understand how that’s rude and disrespectful then I don’t know what to tell you.
- Comment on Anon sees an opportunity 1 week ago:
Reminds me of when my Nana died. People who I have never seen before in my entire life all came out of the woodwork to gawk and take pictures of her corpse. I was beyond pissed off and my biggest regret is not slapping those camera out of their hands because I didn’t want to cause a scene at a funeral. I wanted to say to them, “who the fuck are you and how dare you disrespect my grandmother like that!? I was there for her my entire life, where the fuck where you?”
My mom told me it was a catholic thing to take pictures of the dead, but I don’t give a shit about their shitty religion, especially if it encourages people to do selfish shit like this. If I could have done it all over again I would have definitely spoken up, but alas this was 14 years ago and I’ll never see those people again…whoever the fuck they were…
- Comment on This mess of a keychain I was handed at work 2 weeks ago:
The ADHD in me does disorganized shit like this all the time, and it drives the Autism in me crazy.
I could rock a keychain like this for years, then suddenly I notice, it repulses me, and I have to drop every task to organize my keys right now before I can carry on with my life. Every day I live in a hell of my own creation.

- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 2 weeks ago:
As a 38-year-old who has lived in the US for most of my life, that hasn’t been true for over 15 years now. Strangers don’t talk to each other in public anymore like we all did in the 90s and 2000s; everybody’s staring at their screens in their own little social media world, minding their own business. No one even makes eye contact with strangers anymore, let alone speak to them.
It’s really depressing and makes it next to impossible to form friendships in adulthood…
- Comment on No Chance 🎤 3 weeks ago:
And that’s one of the reasons why I’ve never found a therapist I vibe with. How can you ever get to know and understand me if we can’t ever meet up in a a casual, less structured environment?
(The other reason is that they’re too quiet and reserved for me, when I need someone loud and obnoxious who tells it like it is.)
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 weeks ago:
The very first thing I’d do after stepping in a foreign country is try the fast food there. It’s fun to see different countries’ takes on American junk food. There will be plenty of time to try the local cuisine, but first, I want to see what it’s like to eat a McSpaghetti, or a Whopper with five patties and a bun made out of mozzarella sticks!
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 3 weeks ago:
Because the kind of girl your average person wants to date doesn’t go to bars. Gen Z on average is rather against the entire concept of drinking altogether.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 3 weeks ago:
That’s not really how it works in the US. People talk so much in the steam room/sauna, that you’re pretty much expected to have a conversation when you step inside of either one. As an introvert it’s very anxiety-inducing.
- Comment on I'm not sure they will 4 weeks ago:
Semi-related: I turned off spellcheck and autocorrect for a month to see what happens. Turns out I’m more dependant on it than I realized.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 5 weeks ago:
Not only that, the draft coming in makes you freezing cold the entire time, forcing you to huddle under the water for most of your shower, thus wasting it and washing away the soap you’re trying to lather in.
A hotel I stayed at had this exact same shower and I can confirm that water did in fact get everywhere.
- Comment on Is this true? 5 weeks ago:
You must described the very reason why I don’t like BotW/TotK. They don’t feel like Zelda. They feel like a Bethesda/Obsidian game where you just wander around bumping into things, except Nintendo doesn’t do it nearly as well. I say either go all in on the open world concept, and have proper RPG mechanics, or don’t do it at all. The modern Zelda games are big, empty worlds, with shrines instead of proper dungeons, and nothing fun to do in between except wander forever and pick up flimsy weapons that break after a dozen hits. The games barely even have a plot. That’s not Zelda to me. I want more games like Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, and Minish Cap, not more boring open world BS.
Same reason why I don’t like Ubisoft titles. Big open world with nothing to do.
- Comment on Peacock has ads when pausing a movie to read the text 5 weeks ago:
When The Pirate Bay launched in 2003, I went full piracy then and never looked back.
From an outsider’s perspective, it’s like watching a wild roller-coaster ride from the sidelines. Never understood all the Netflix hype when they first launched their streaming service. Tried it once in the early 2010s and was beyond disappointed; the vast majority of of content I wanted to watch was not on there (and still isn’t).
These days I use Stremio paired with Torrentio and a Debrid service. Instant streams to anything I could ever want to watch, and it’s all there in one place. IDK why people would pay for multiple streaming services when you can just have one.

My bad
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 5 weeks ago:
I mean as someone who has worked 20 years in the service industry, I get that, but I can handle a Karen in person because I can be big, loud, and intimidating enough until they go away. Unfortunately you can’t punch someone through the phone, and that’s where my anxiety over phone calls comes from. People are so much worse to you when there’s no chance they could get punched in the mouth.
