• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The digital coupons are a pain in the ass. Sometimes the app properly clips them, other times it doesn’t. There’s like 3 different ways to enter the item, and it is inconsistent on which way will work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It was winter in this. The indoors lights are functionally small space heaters, granted electric heating is comparatively expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Certain things are constant across cultures. Among them: food, sports, and music.

  And when I say “food”, I mean beyond just biological sustenance. It’s part of culture and an important part of social gatherings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this colour?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or shartreuse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a word or (concise) phrase to describe the paradox of sharing something (like a website) that you don't like, but because you're sharing it you're tacitly helping it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s probably a German word for it. They have words for all sorts of specific concepts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it*⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The basic premise behind enshittification

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the longest, hardest fantasy rpg out there?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Since you included the Diablo Series, I’ll assume that ARPGs are in consideration. Path of Exile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this tie into TLC vs QLC drives?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roundup of Roundup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So it should be called “Round Down,” as in it rounds down your IQ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.

  As opposed to moving the container or what you want the honey on to be closer together.

  I have seen these before, but I’ve never seen them for anything other than honey. No one has a gravy twirler or a pancake syrup twirler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll dissent here: early technology didn’t just work. Computers in the 80s and 90s (at least early 90s) required quite a bit of technical know-how to use competently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazon’s product search is intentionally bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No one has convinced me how it is good for the general public. It seems like it will benefit corpos and governments, to the detriment of the general public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapflation: The Kroger brand "shake and bake" seasoning no longer comes with the bag to shake it in 😠⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a mixing bowl (with a lid) for my shaken-on seasoning needs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relevant username⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like a little scorch, but it’s too fine of a line that I don’t bother attempting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're going backwards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AirBnB may have some niche uses, but it is no replacement for hotels if you are just looking for general lodging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Competitive human nature and tribalism are the problem.

  If something that gives a competitive advantage can be done, someone will do it regardless of the negative consequences (often inflicted upon others).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, although it is typically overlaying a surface that is already plastered in ads. At least from what I’ve noticed.

  Just lets them change what ads are being shown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Subliminal messaging?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t even watch sports in real time. I have to let it buffer so I can fast forward through breaks and such.

  Still a lot of ads on uniforms and all over the stadium, but it’s mostly the audio (that is often louder than what you’re watching) and the break in continuity for commercial breaks that pisses me off the most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No it won’t⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  covered

  This is metal underneath

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some things happen in my life way more frequently than statistical probabilities would suggest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No it won’t⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather not have a wallet covered in dead skin. They make all metal ones that function similarly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. No matter which angle you want to approach it from, bitching about funding schools is not a good look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’d have states like North Dakota and Negative North Dakota?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can play that game too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you not go to school when you were younger? You benefited from those schools at some point in your life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Religion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You provided a good counterpoint. These self-imposed restrictions can become obstructive or even weaponized. It’s like a variation of weaponized incompetence.

  These restrictions can also lead to people making onerous demands of others to accommodate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they keep track of deleted accounts in case people try to ban evade

  Well they did a piss poor job of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish Lemmy was as active as Reddit, I miss my niche subreddits.

  I deleted my account a few months ago. I don’t miss any of the big subs, because that sort of content is on here too. But there are some niche topics that simply don’t have enough traffic here to support good discussion.
