  I’m an American but used to have roommates from all over the world and I’ll never forget how absolutely disappointed they were with McDonalds, Burger King, etc.

  Though I’m in Los Angeles so there are plenty of incredible hamburger places (far too many) if you’re seeking it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2022 was a bleak year 😢⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Quorn has always been pretty nasty in my experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2022 was a bleak year 😢⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh? This would be stupidly much better; I live near a KFC and the cockroaches outside, the dead animal smell and just the grease in the surrounding area is atrocious. I wish they’d knock that shit down and sell real food rather than the mechanically separated, likely tortured animal carcasses they dump on the public. How morally bankrupt or tuned out do you have to be to eat in these places?

  You really named probably the only video editing software that isn’t using ffmpeg somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online shop's UK county selector⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just had to implement a drop down where users could type their entry because they can’t figure out how to type the first few fucking letters to get to their choice. Really annoying.

  Then people got pissy because their browser would sort results in the wrong order (except Safari) so then I had to deep dive into JavaScript (gross). I hate it.

  Why not stop serving it indefinitely? I don’t understand why we keep locking up animals and trashing the environment for nothing but taste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advertisements⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m divided on this. I happily pay streaming services for ad-free plans but I’ve never been so into YouTube that I’ve wanted to pay for it. I have it blocked outright anyway (part of my “fuck Google” blocklist collection).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy parked his car on the sidewalk, right outside a school⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly it looks like the sidewalk snow was cleared after they parked but it still should’ve been obvious right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having moved from the shoes off Midwest to Los Angeles I’ve found that basically anyone non-Asian is wearing shoes indoors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good present to get your dentist and dental assistant as a way of showing thanks?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife is a dentist and this would totally be her response.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No need to be rude⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I basically feel the same way driving an Audi. I used to drive shitbox 90s-era Nissan Sentras but after ~5 years with the Audi it’s close to impossible not to drive like a complete douche in heavy traffic. More generally I think vehicles with turbos just put you on another level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake moo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In any case it’s despicable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't stop won't stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you have a bowl of ice cream to numb the pain though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the truth! ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was always curious about this! I’m bilingual and I always get mixed up because they’re actually called “purple onions” in Spanish. I always forget which language calls it which, but knowing this is definitely helpful!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PLEASE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For whatever reason I actually found this more difficult to read (not driving). Maybe it was the color choice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typical monopoly people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The UK accent is actually more “modern” than the US one because the US one is more aligned with the accent imported around the time of colonialism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨big tobacco stopped paying⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I eat vegan chicken nuggets all the time and honestly they taste almost exactly the same. In fact I’d say any vegan version of highly processed meat (sausage, burgers, etc) tastes very similar.

  Just recently Starbucks gave me a real sausage patty instead of Impossible and I didn’t even know whether it was “real” meat at first — I had to take another look at it and see that the shape and thickness were different (and the store admitted it was the wrong product when I returned).

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

  Exactly! It just feels so wasteful. I imagine it’s to sell a higher capacity at greater cost for higher profit.

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

  I can’t tell if you’re arguing in favor or against smaller capacity drives but personally I’d like to see smaller sizes on the market for devices that don’t need a freaking terabyte of storage. When I was shopping for a small mini PC I use as a router I couldn’t find anything smaller than 256 GB so I settled for booting Alpine Linux into RAM (“diskless”) from a USB drive.

  The QR code is a working link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨North Carolina (NC) is just built different⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s with the fucking AI slop everywhere today?

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve felt like I’m in a simulation quite often. It sounds very cliché and I never thought I’d actually feel it (the idea has always fascinated me but c’mon, really?) up until the last few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That means the fries were probably not handled with care while they were frozen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is the image hosted at i.redd.it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Karl Bushby: Made a bet in 1998 that he could walk from Chile to England. 27 Years later, Still walking. Survived Darién Gap, 57 days in a Russian prison, Traversing the Bering Strait on shifting ice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep wondering why images aren’t loading and it’s because they’re hosted by Reddit? I blocked them ages ago but why are we using Reddit’s CDN for Lemmy posts’ images?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most invasive cookie/tracker option is listed as “Platinum” while the most privacy-respecting option is merely “Silver”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Web developers (or rather those that pay them) will do literally anything but stop spying. Fucking trolls.

  (Disclaimer: I’m a professional web developer myself but thankfully not in the realm of unethical spyware shit like this.)

  Yeah seriously. Why even engage?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨✌️🌽✌️ ✊🌽✊ ✌️🌽✌️ ✊🌽✊⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people really buy produce wrapped in so much plastic? Personally I go out of my way to avoid it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨✌️🌽✌️ ✊🌽✊ ✌️🌽✌️ ✊🌽✊⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This drives me crazy living in the Los Angeles area too, but I’ve discovered it comes from Mexico. For example, Taquería “Los Hermanos” would be a taquería (taco shop) called The Brothers.

  Honestly it doesn’t bother me so much in Spanish but it definitely looks totally wrong in English.
