  But is a flake the same as a scale? Bad explanation.

  For a long time I’ve been considering carrying “parking is hard” cards for windshields.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Others have mentioned many reasons, and while they do still exist in specialty groceries, they’ve died off because they are just bad.

  Anyone spending good money on good coffee knows the in-store grinders will taste like all the crap-flavored beans the past 12 people put through them.

  Even with unflavored grinds your supposed to grind some and toss it just to clear the old stuff out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would suggest getting your own grinder. Beans going through that thing probably have 31 flavors in them by the time they’re ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So many people’s bodies and wallets would benefit from 4 weeks of only drinking water.

  The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you’ll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.

  A watch that vibrates might help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Acetaminophen-American⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This breaks the quote, though. (It’s a play on “Black” and “African American”)

  @DarkCloud@lemmy.world this may answer your question if it was a real one 🤷‍♂️

  No Shotcut love? I found it pretty easy to use ot after Premiere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little memorial at the local dump⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO he and others like him are attacking the word empathy because they think how it is being taught will make boys act weak, along woth all they believe that leads to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little memorial at the local dump⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He understood empathy. They all do.

  They understand since they were kids, it’s started being taught in schools to have empathy for others not as fortunate as you. They understand young kids strive to get the Empathy award in Kindergarten.

  Can’t have “certain” kids (theirs) growing up that way.

  Since no one is actually answering your question. This was published about 2 weeks ago: arxiv.org/abs/2508.18519

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong. Flat Earthers do think the Earth is round.

  The rest of us think it’s spherical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Easier communication. Thousands of people each living far apart had no way to amplify each other. Immigrants were mostly centered around cities, thus the rural divide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You are not alone, soooo many people, myself included, are like this. As are many with ADHD.

  For me, I found listing out the things I want to do for each project (the details, not the name of the project), and putting them all low priority works. Then I move a few to high priority and tell myself those are my “tasks” for the week.

  That stops me from going down the rabbit hole pretty well, while still enjoying my time. I find the number of tasks fluctuates, mainly because after a while of shifting between TV, games, and reading in the gaps, I get that feeling of wanting more productivity being fun back. Which sounds like the feeling you want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emotional support⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I forgive you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some suggestions from an older internet rando:

  Don’t dwell on the past, embrace it.

  You worked your way up to a D3 runner, due 100% to your hard work, and despite the adversity of those who didn’t believe in you. Look back on that time as a challenge you overcame, and what brought you to the environment you are in today. Congratulations.

  Consider telling your parents how you feel.

  Right now, they are going around thinking that they pushed you hard, and that pushing is what got you where you are today. They are proud, of you for sure, but also of themselves as parents. Everyone, even your parents have the ability to learn where they were wrong, so consider opening up to them about how you appreciated their honestly, but their methods of delivering it hindered vs helped.

  If you decide to do this, treat the conversation like your parents are the children, staying calm and informative, and you might be surprised how “adult” they treat you. And if they don’t, their loss.

  Forgive, and move forward.

  They did teach you to be reasonable, and try to remember it’s unlikely they meant purposeful harm. Regardless of if you discuss it with them, try to recognize it is your life now, and you get to choose how intactions go from here. Good luck in your races!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water Boil Advisory⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I informed someone that had recently moved to the area that there was a water main break and you had to boil water. They brought me a jug of water from Walmart as a thanks. Now we are married. Go tell random attractive people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best Co-Op Games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you look for titles that were in arcades, or a list of them online, especially “top” lists, you’ll get a good starting point.

  Arcade games stayed on the floor because they were fun for groups, so if it stuck around, it was probably a good one.
