I dunno; I thought he was pretty convincing. I mean, the man had a Bat Card and everything.

Yeah; that’s totally fair.

Keep in mind it’s the same company that tweeted a dog whistle to Gamer gate and had a few insensitive transphobic faux pas: polygon.com/…/gog-twitter-wontbeerased-hashtag/.
I could believe the latter ones were potentially accidental but I don’t know how tweeting the exact starting date of Gamer gate with the phrase “R.I.P games journalism” can be anything but intentional.

Is…is that not what everyone’s doing‽

I mean…under the right director, she could pull it off. Wooden acting is perfect for an emotionally stunted character; I’d boycott the film but I could see it working.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 2 weeks ago:
It’s not the bulk of your point (of which I agree with) but your mention of the back button reminded me how much I despise – sometimes above everything else – how much these sites override basic functionality of the browser, overriding inbuilt history navigation, screwing up Ctrl click behaviors, stealing my right-click menu or default key bindings.
There’s a lot of reasons one might not want to use TikTok but the reason that stops me before even having to consider other reasons (but I can’t really explain to most people) is that it’s a site designed without any really respect or regard for the user.
Alt+d doesn’t work and Ctrl+l pops up some modal about logging in. I can’t open any of the recommended videos in a new tab because they clearly must’ve just done them as
onclicks and not real anchor tags so right clicking doesn’t give me the option and neither does Ctrl clicking (which – also – that’s…got to be an accessibility violation, right?). And more than half the time the full page doesn’t even load because it’s such a strangle of resources that it needs me to click a button on the page because it wasn’t able to load the videos listing of an account in time.The whole thing is just a nightmare in terms of design and primarily not even in terms of inefficiency but direct hostility to UX. Absolute garbage.

Not the kinda cars I drive, man.

We have some peaches and I’ve been putting them in some grilled cheeses I’ve been making with maple-leaf–smoked Gouda I also got this week and it’s been pretty incredible.

I suspect that your qualifications for what constitutes a bicycle is a tad short…

So good.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 month ago:
Maybe I read it wrong but (to me) the meme makes it sound like Google’s taking the local data (that’s supposed to be forgotten, once you close the browser window) and sending it over to Google for them to, I dunno, run analysis on.
If they’re saying that Google sites (like YouTube, Google search, etc.) were collecting data when I visit them (as, unfortunately, sites do), then I’d say, “Well, duh;” but this makes it seem like they were exporting your local data off to their cloud which, like, they could obviously, technically do but wouldn’t very much be in the spirit of how Incognito mode was portrayed.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
I expect it’s just a taste thing; water tastes fine but, like, it could taste more interesting if we added a bit of sugar or flavor to it (I was a huge justice fan).
For my own end, it was an easy way to keep my emotions/mood simulated or engaged against my depression that was low effort and easy to supply; that said, I switched entirely to water last year and, now fully comfortable drinking nothing but water and being fairly averse – previously –, I can’t say the previous reasons really make that much of a difference for me, now. Maybe it’s just having drank to my non-water content, already, but drinking nothing but water’s been pretty great and removes low-key health fears I always had.

Totally fair; thanks for just mentioning them. First I’ve heard of them, even.

Huh; are they more a commercial product or generally covered by eye insurance?
- Comment on Anon visits a guy's house 2 months ago:
I don’t have it on have but some theorize it’s to recreate the endorphin rush they get when you play with them and it’s momentarily out of sight. Having to find it is part of the fun; of course, they’re unable to find it, now…
Dunno how universally that’s held but I did read it, one time.

Void, yes; absolute perfection.
- Comment on Anon tries to save money 2 months ago:
To be fair, I’m also stateside and, while I knew enough to know not to do it with abandon, I’ve torrented without a VPN at least a handful of times and never got anything from my ISPs in two decades.
- Comment on Recession indicator 2 months ago:
To save you what turned into a whole year for me, – if you have anyone else who can help you – tag team applying. I only started to see consistent interviews once my husband started helping and we started not only flooding every listing we could but, also, routinely applying before a lot of people got to them.
Good luck; one of the worst years of my life.
- Comment on There he goes 2 months ago:
For real; have no idea what the caffeine amount was (very well could’ve been far less than both if you) but I took an edible with caffeine, once.
Tried it once, before, and barely noticed anything so I popped a second one, this time around.
Naturally, forgot I’d taken anything and only vaguely became aware, an hour later, than my heart was pounding. Trying to figure out why your heart is thundering out of your chest while stoned to Hell is probably not high on the Most Effective list.

I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.

To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.
- Comment on Awooo 2 months ago:
This means that even in left-leaning communities like Lemmy, we’re seeing a majority of individuals speak out and very clearly say “This does not offend me.”
Has that been by people who are mentally disabled, though?
And that leftist spaces struggle with meaningfully engagement with systems of ablism has been a point of contention for…decades, now.

Everything is political; how much you notice really is just a metric of how much a particular subject effects you.
This is such a great example.
