- Comment on Why do so many people choose mail in ballots when there appear to be so many potential failure points with them? 2 weeks ago:
Because it forces you to be in a specific place at a specific time otherwise. I don’t even live in the state I’m registered to vote in.
- Comment on Was the first SSN to be assigned in the US just 000-00-001? 1 month ago:
No, the first XXX and second XX are location and date identifiers. The last XXXX is your actual number.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
Because you look like a ratchet ass ghetto idiot using them.
- Comment on How do you join a different instance? 2 months ago:
Go to the instance and sign up for it, assuming they have open sign ups.
- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 10 months ago:
And English… I’ve heard them use soccer as well on many occasions
- Comment on If cannabis gets rescheduled to III, how can it ever get the state - federal differences resolved when it comes to the recreational market? 1 year ago:
Then why are you commenting on a topic you know nothing about?
- Comment on If cannabis gets rescheduled to III, how can it ever get the state - federal differences resolved when it comes to the recreational market? 1 year ago:
What other government uses the same scheduling system for drugs and has it illegal at this time?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Then get up earlier? I dunno… why not adjust your schedule to accommodate what you like?
- Comment on Do the people in Reniassance festivals pccurring in Brotain also speak with faked British accents, or do they ise faked French/Iralian accents? 1 year ago:
Don’t forget the Scotch egg!
- Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money? 1 year ago:
American hospitals cannot legally refuse to treat you even if they know you can’t pay/don’t have insurance. So worst case scenario is you go and have whatever done and they bill you and you don’t pay and it’s a write off for the hospital.
Often times, if you can’t pay they will offer a reduced amount to at least get something out of you if they know they won’t get anything otherwise.
- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 1 year ago:
I get you don’t like Samsung, Apple, or Google, but man… Sony? They are the original electronics company bad actors. That’s like saying “I don’t like Dahmer, but this guy Manson is cool” what the hell?
- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 1 year ago:
Wow. I absolutely detest the Samsung keyboard. It’s absolutely retarded on terms of prediction and button accuracy.
Gboard, while not great, seems to be the best/most accurate. I don’t like Gboard, don’t get me wrong, but it’s way more accurate than Samsung
- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 1 year ago:
Just wait until you get older and you’ll start appreciating larger phones.
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
Why are you so obsessed with what Americans use for measurements? They aren’t forcing or even asking you to use it
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
When it’s a window.
There is no spoon.
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
“Ranger Green” the hell is that?
I’m an army veteran and I’ve never heard that term. Army Green, yes, but that’s pretty rare, too.
What color even is “Ranger Green” other than OD?
- Comment on Military Time vs 24hr? 1 year ago:
What app?
- Comment on Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts? 1 year ago:
What if you want some scores and not others though? Then those people couldn’t block the bot. I think that’s the thought process behind that.
Not saying I agree with it, just pointing that out
- Comment on What impact would reversing the Earth's rotation have? 1 year ago:
- The earth slows down stops then starts spinning again. Gravity would become weaker and weaker one side of the earth would be perpetual night and the other side perpetual day the atmosphere would dissipate into space along with anything loose on the surface which includes all the water we have all life would perish. Slowly, as the earth starts to spin again gravity might pull some of its materials back down but hardly enough to make a difference. The earth would be a barren wasteland.
Why would gravity become weaker and things float off into space? Gravity has nothing to do with the earth spinning. It’s a property of mass. The mass of the earth wouldn’t change because it stops spinning.
- Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? 1 year ago:
Calling an American a yank isn’t an insult to US. I know it’s meant as an insult from some cultures but it’s absolutely not insulting to an American lol
- Comment on Why does it seem different platforms of the fediverse are not so good at communicating with each other? Is this something that will change eventually? 1 year ago:
It’s a KBin problem. My KBin instance wouldn’t even federate properly with another KBin instance at least more than half the time
- Comment on Why does it seem different platforms of the fediverse are not so good at communicating with each other? Is this something that will change eventually? 1 year ago:
I was running a KBin server, but federation never worked well, even with other KBin servers.
Finally gave up myself and spooled up a Lemmy server.
It’s unfortunate because KBin is just better in almost every aspect compared to Lemmy, but the lack of reliable federation just kills it
- Comment on Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone? 1 year ago:
You can only basically change the skin on an iphone keyboard. Downloading another keyboard still uses the apple keyboard under the hood. That’s why all Apple keyboards are such trash compared to Android.
Same with your browser. You can download a new browser, but it’s still Safari.
- Comment on Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone? 1 year ago:
You… Went to Apple to avoid Google? Seriously? Like Apple is somehow not as bad as Google?
