⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to try out Yorkshire Tea (I’ve heard they’re amazing), they don’t ship internationally, so as I live in the USA, I don’t think that’s an option for me. :C

To be fair, although admittedly a nitpick, I will say I never said that the caffeine dehydrated you, just that the teas and tisanes do, the latter of which may or may not have caffeine.

That being said, I looked it up and yeah you’re right. The evidence does seem to demonstrate that the diuretic effect of the caffeine in teas not substantial enough to really affect hydration levels.

However, it does lead me to wonder why my body seems to dehydrate if I drink more 2 cups of tea in a day. Like, it doesn’t cause me to pee more (at least not more than an equivalent amount of straight water would cause me to pee); my body just dries out.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
As an American who wasn’t ever raised on tea of any kind but is starting to really love teas, I have to ask: how the hell do you manage to drink 8–10 cups per day without dying of dehydration? If I drink more than 3 cups a day I start to really feel dried out!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you pronounce "centaur" and why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I have not once in my entire life heard anyone say it like that. Where are you from? Maybe it’s a regional thing…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you pronounce "centaur" and why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
sen-tar

“sen-” like “cent” (like 25 cents), and “-tar” like “a tar pit”

......Okay, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t know how to respond to this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to FlyingSquid?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Jesus, 12+ hours a day… That is not healthy.

I hope he’s doing okay…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to FlyingSquid?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Oof.

Yep, they’re a goner.

Rip the homey.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I think this example just confused me honestly. Sorry.

Put another way, though, is it basically like a sock being pushed so far inward that it goes inside-out and gets bigger again?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you’re saying is this?
```
[Files] = [Files]

[Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]
```
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Why does it get bigger? I’ve wondered that for a while now.

I would think that compressing something that’s already compressed would still compress it further but at diminishing returns.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you were a billionaire that suddently had a change of heart and wanted to go against trump, how dangerous would it be to resist?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

he one thing that the wealthy do understand is class solidarity

Seems we in the working class should learn something from them. Too often we fight amongst ourselves (by design!) when we should be going after the rich.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
1. Profit?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is why I still use a card instead of those newfangled “phone wallets”. If I go on PayPal or my bank website, I do so through my browser. (and log out when I’m done—that’s most important!)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Not a bad set of promising suggestions… Thanks!

And yeah, I’ve found Proton to be invaluable for making things soooo much easier, but if a game doesn’t have a page, it’s not as easy. Lol.

Pshh, hardly.

Make no mistake: things can always get worse.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when I run two VPNs on my computer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
They cancel each other out, collapse into a black hole, and rip apart the Universe. /j
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve been using Linux Mint for the last 1–2 months (or so) and one of the things I miss the most is how on Windows, games just run (typically). Now, on Linux, one of the very first things I do upon wanting to play a new game is check the ProtonDb page. I am not always able to play the game I want. There’s often not even any ProtonDb page for a lot of older games, notably in my case Jazz Jackrabbit. (For example, even though the Jazz Jackrabbit Collection on GOG has a Linux installer, for some reason it won’t run.)

Make no mistake, I ain’t never going back to Windows for my personal use if I have anything to say about it. The sense of personal security I feel from not having my every move be captured, scrutinized, and sold by Microsoft is way too important to me. If I can have that feeling of relative comfort by forgoing a few games, it seems like a worthwhile price to me.

Nevertheless, the “plug-and-play” nature of games designed for Windows is something I miss.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 2020 I couldn't swing a stick without finding independent livestreamer links for protests. In 2024, I am having a very hard time finding livestreamers. Help?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Not OP, but dear gods thank you. With how scary the US is becoming, I genuinely needed that laugh.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a child went into a coma and woke up as an adult what would happen ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

When he told her that, she began crying, and appologizing. She didn’t remember saying that, but he never stopped thinking about it for 30+ years.

The axe forgets; the tree remembers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That actually depends entirely on where you’re at. That would be positively tropical to someone in Minnesota, but to someone in Arizona I almost can guarantee you that would be freezing.

Or moss!

Moss is cool too!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Good idea, though sadly I cannot afford that at the moment.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Nah, I think this way more.

`I’m not planning on fighting a pelican" comes off as “well, I’m not planning on it, but it could happen”,

while I’m not planning on fighting a pelican comes off as “Statement: I do not have plans to fight a pelican.”

I feel the latter would confuse people more. Lol.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.

I need this on a T-shirt.

Seriously, this is the best thing I have seen on the Internet in a long time. It’s like I’m in 2013 all over again. Lol.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
As others have already stated, it’s expensive to start, expensive to maintain, and very high-risk.

Most startups fail within the first two years, and an organization that doesn’t focus first and foremost on profit is I imagine even more likely to fail within those first couple of years.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I would agree with this.

(Also, for the record, your username is the highlight of my day. Tell me, which ones are lies and which ones are true?)

To be fair, every platform is an echo chamber. The only differences are to what degree.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is "oh boy" considered a gendered term?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I personally don’t like it as it makes me uncomfortable because I’m not a guy, and it makes me feel a bit excluded.

That being said, I’m fully aware it’s rarely used in a gendered way so I’m not offended by it or anything. It’s just how I feel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do most celebrities/influencers & some normal people have those fake-looking teeth?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
…okay then.

Not gonna lie: I would’ve never gotten that from “nude tooth”. But I guess I’ll just chock this up to another instances in the long line of things in life I didn’t know. :)
