  I find it reassuring that some people are not proud of grabbing random people off the street to send them to their death with a smile.

  Government: cd / && rg -l trans | xargs rm -f

  I’m sure it’ll go well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an idea, but it requires the incentive to be more than people… let’s call it laziness. I see people drop their trash in front of an empty trashcan on the regular.

  Regarding plastic bottle deposit, a quick search (statista.com/…/global-status-of-plastic-bottle-re…) around 30 countries had such a system in place, with varying degrees of success, with only 10 US states. That’s not a lot. In France, we also had this for glass bottle. It was discontinued long ago but we’re looking to bring it back. Let’s hope this do motivate people, although I don’t have my hopes up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It reduces littering by bottles to around half, just because we count the pieces differently now.

  Beyond the statistics, collecting bottles seems easier than collecting bottle caps. Since people can’t stop tossing their trash in the street, at least it makes it easier for people that clean up to get them.

  I very rarely come across a labia minora either at work or at home, but maybe I’m not working in the right place or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You got it, buddy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The search still go on ✨

  I’m going to use base π from time to time.

  Indeed. None of the crazy things that happened in the last few months stopped. Unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Distracting people from what is happening is NOT what you want.

  Unfortunately, porn is getting banned, so little Ben will not have his happy ending.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It could be aggressively persistent without sounding like a psycho, too, no? I mean, I have no frame of reference, but I sort of assume that constant reminders would work as well as constant belittling reminders. Maybe I’m wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Come to think of it, an application threatening, shaming, and guilt tripping you into coming back might not be the healthiest thing ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please. I had a cassette with built-in storage, that could play in a cassette deck player AND had an headset jack plugged in for music on the go.

  And what if there’s no photograph of myself online?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure… as my current washing machine don’t have one. It’s a top-loader. I do see washing machines with a round door, though. Maybe the difference is that the whole door is the glass part, so there’s no seal to make with the rest of the “door” part, but that’s not satisfying.

  I’d be curious to ear from an expert about this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing how “fun” it is to make a truly watertight window, even with low pressure, matching both cold and hot and detergent and whatever’s flying in there, I’m glad there isn’t a glass pane to view into the dishwasher.

  Also, I’m usually doing things that are not reliant on seeing what’s happening in a dishwasher when it is running, so the cost effectiveness would not be great there.

  The dickvid potential is there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When will all the folks complaining about loss of Snap and health insurance realize the GOP wants us to die and has ZERO empathy for fellow Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry. For most of them when they start understanding that their very existence is seen as a burden, they’ll be happy to say “I’m sacrificing myself for America!”. And die forgotten in a gutter.

  Brainwashing can go very far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Phones are not that dumb. Mine will actually charge slower at night because it is set up to be “ready” when the alarm goes off in the morning, many hours later.

  I’d say your sexuality is “I like traditionally feminine people”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I simply do not allow an open bag of bread to be left unless all the bread have been eaten. Problem solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i broke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “I think you should come here twice a week to work that out”

  I’m not sure how that helps you though.

  We did that to stop English from stealing from us. They didn’t get the joke, and here we are.

  I only buy boxes of 2x2. I suppose the only way is to get all four out at the same time.

  Sounds like an upside.

  something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty

  It’s the same when it’s in your pocket. I’d say the issue is not that it buzz all the time on your wrist, but that it buzz all the time. I disabled most notifications, except for a selection of people and apps. When I get a notification, it is usually important enough that I should check it. Everything else (including non-emergency work stuff) is checked on my own accord, when I feel like it.

  Having the notifications pop on my wrist, with that system, does not feel like a shackle more than a phone constantly turning its screen on to tell you you have unread whatever.
