- Comment on The fact that this is a real image is infuriating 8 hours ago:
I was thinking the same. There should be a rule at any posts about these cunts needs to include their names in the title or something.
The constant feed of these cunts every action is not conducive to positive mental health. I get it. Shits fucked. I don’t need to read about it all day.
Filtering by community is impractical in some cases.
That said, using thunderbird on android I can filter by keyword… is there an alternative front end for the desk top that allows the same?

There’s so much shit going on in the last 24 hours probably doesn’t rate amongst the worst 5.
- Comment on People who live in hot climates, how do you deal with the heat? 1 day ago:
Mental conditioning and altered behavior.
If you’re not used to it the heat can feel oppressive. Some kind of lizard-brain response telling you that the heat is a threat that must be mitigated immediately. Once you get used to it you realise that it’s just mild discomfort and that it’s not harmful (except for sun burn, heat stroke, et cetera).
You also alter your behavior in simple ways that may not occur to you if you’re not used to a hot climate. Like… make mid-day the least active part of your day. You’re not going to just duck down to the shops for a bite at 1pm.

Everyone uses it as lube.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 2 days ago:
I feel like it’s pretty irrelevant honestly.
Like if my house is burning down I don’t care whether I have my blue boxers or my green boxers nor whether China knows.

This isn’t saying something funny by accident though.
When you’re on holiday and you ask the barman for nipple juice sure, you can all have a good laugh about languages.
This person is an employee, doing their best to perform a complex task that you were lucky enough to learn as a child. Imagine walking into the shop and having a good old laugh with the signs author about their bad spelling. I don’t think they would find it very funny.
Additionally, there’s a profound difference between having a light-hearted joke with someone, and posting it on social media where everyone can make lame jokes about people struggling to get by using English as a second language.
Honestly, I’m amazed that you’re insensitive enough not to understand that the two situations are completely different.

What is the point of saying that a response sounds like an AI generated response?
It’s just a generic insult.
Your mother smells funny, and you’re wrong.
- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 1 week ago:
I dislike the use of the term “wrong” in this case immensely.
Everyone ought to be able to decide what to do with their own body, free from judgement. That includes whether to grow a fetus, and the decision making process is completely irrelevant.
It’s wrong to opine what’s right and wrong regarding someone else’s bodily autonomy.
If the question was, “if you were pregnant and you were told your child was going to be severely disabled, would you seek an abortion” the answer is “most likely”.
- Comment on What advice would you give to your younger self? 1 week ago:
That’s a false equivalence. Yes the USD could be worth $0 but the chances of that are infinitesimal in comparison to the chance that crypto will be worthless.
You have no evidence on which to base an assertion of bitcoin’s most likely future value. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
The only surety is that crypto will consume egregious amounts of energy in the course of producing absolutely no value.
- Comment on What advice would you give to your younger self? 1 week ago:
The thing is, in a year’s time bitcoin could be worth $200k or it could be worth $0.
Trump loved crypto because he grifted with some NFTs and then he needed support to win an election. That’s done now so we’re 1 brain fart away from a royal decree that crypto is bad.
People don’t sell up all their shares because they have enough to retire on.
- Comment on Who benefits from the "14 Min Read" estimates popping everywhere? 1 week ago:
At the risk of sounding uneducated, I wasn’t to say I don’t think I’ve ever read a 45 minute article.
I mean most days I would spend at least that much time reading technical advice or commentary, but not an “article”.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 2 weeks ago:
Who will do all the things though? ChatGPT can’t clean my toilet or wash my dishes.
Also, what is the point of being wealthy and powerful if there’s no one to rule over?
- Comment on Time to make your decesion 2 weeks ago:
… bit of a roll of the dice. You don’t want to hear the minutia of wedding planning every day.
- Comment on Time to make your decesion 2 weeks ago:
Maybe the dog was about to attack a small child.
I’ve seen someone poke a dog in the ass with a stick. They were a hero. Dog was latched on to someone’s leg.

- Comment on Le Reddit Army is Here 2: Electric Boogaloo 2 weeks ago:
I disagree.
Lemmy is also a link aggregator which works in a similar way to reddit, but it has it’s own history, culture, and quirks.
Sure, things will happen on Lemmy which are reminiscent of reddit because they’re both link aggregators, but to say lemmy “is” reddit is very reductive.
- Comment on what unbiased media sources do you use? 2 weeks ago:
I hadn’t heard of CBC. I consume a lot of BBC content. Also maybe check out ABC (Australia). These public broadcasters produce some great journalism IMO.
- Comment on Are affordable apartments easy and cheap suicide prevention? 2 weeks ago:
I get this type of intrusive thought. I think there’s a french phrase for this “l’appel du vide” or call of the void. I think it’s quite common actually.
- Comment on Are affordable apartments easy and cheap suicide prevention? 2 weeks ago:
No. There’s a reason cheap apartments in China have enclosed balconies.
- Comment on What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm? 2 weeks ago:
This is my understanding, and rightly or wrongly it’s the theory underlying the artistic license supporting popular fiction like the star trek and star wars universes.
Obviously my views are supported by confirmation bias, but in the only ecosystem we know of the hominid body plan is the most successful.
Things would be different in different environments, like higher gravity or ocean planets, but in the absence of any data about those the safe bet is that most intelligent life looks similar to us.
- Comment on Hey mods or admins can we get a best of 2024 for this year like best questions and best answer? 2 weeks ago:
I mean you’re right, but it’s not very enthralling.
It’s mostly the contentious political questions that hit the front page.

- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
… and yet here we are ?
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
Nonsense. Your metaphor is not analogous.
Sophisticated tech firms do extensive analysis with reference groups, A/B testing, et cetera.
Guaranteed, they’ve found that they get better engagement with their product through these AI results.
This might shock you but a group of 14 year olds complaining on Lemmy is not an indicative sample of opinions.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
Hyperbole & subjective. Flatpaks aren’t all that.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
My point is, it seems like moat people disagree with you given that search providers put this stuff in their results.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
Obviously I pay for a search engine. The advertising funded web is shit.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
That’s true, but I think people still appreciate it… like it’s accurate enough, enough of the time, for people to find it helpful.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
I like kagi more than ddg. It’s not free but meh.
- Comment on M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable 4 months ago:
Ugh. Do you really want that though? They do have a store don’t they? Just no one wants to use it.
Debian has had a browseable catalog since forever but it’s still waaay better to just go to a third party’s website and see how they say to install whatever thing.
