Or, when we talk about things we can do so descriptively.
Difficult for some of you, I can see.
- Comment on 50501? 1 day ago:
I don’t know what 50501 refers to and I have no idea what parade you’re talking about.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 2 days ago:
I believe you’re supposed to fly a flag upside down in times of distress.
I think it would be wildly powerful for some cities to flip their flags for the 4th.

America, so great, wow.
- Comment on Is there really anything stopping an evil government from just poisoning the water supply to commit a massacre/genocide/ethnic-clensing? 5 days ago:
The international backlash would be pretty severe.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 6 days ago:
Because everything that’s happening is obviously bad to the majority.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
If you wanna know look into optimal self distinctiveness. Its a framework in group social psychology that seeka to explain why we might be slightly different versions of ourselves within different groups, and what this says about an individuals need for ‘fitting in’ can do to modify their behaviors or preferences.
- Comment on Update to last week's BestBuy Shenanigan. They refused to refund me after not delivering me the stuff I ordered after a so-called "investigation". 1 week ago:
Yeah this is what back charges are for, and the absolute beauty of credit.
Won’t hear me say that much.
But you don’t have to go through the nonsense if you use credit.
You tell them “hey I bought this and didn’t get it I am disputing the charge.”
And their legal team calls their legal team and says “we want receipts and proof or we will litigate and also we are a financial institution and you’re best buy so be smart here.”
Instant (well not really, but effortless) resolve almost every time you’re in the right.

Yes absolutely true If your nearest grocery store is a dollar general, this is bad.
I’m just laying out a general template to help figure out how rural were comfortable being.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Things to consider:
Nearest hospital.
Nearest fire department.
Nearest Police station.
Nearest post office.
Nearest doctors office.
Nearest grocery.
Nearest airport.
Do you currently indulge in things like food delivery?
If all that can be reconciled then living nearly anywhere is fine.

The free tier will let you swipe x times per day.
Of the 10,000 matches in your area, 1000 might be real humans.
So, it ends up feeling like a waste of time for any guy that doesn’t get their profile pics taken by a professional. The odds of your iPhone pics standing out are slim unless you’re rocking a speedo packing a hog, ridiculously muscular, or apparently holding a fish? That can’t be working…
It ends up feeling like a waste of time.

Would you prefer beans?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Great answer.
This is otherwise kinda tough.
Like, it’s okay to be afraid of things, even really important things. But you need to be aware the degree to which your life is limited by not learning these things.
You don’t need to learn to swim. You don’t need to learn to drive. You don’t have to fly in a plane. Its all your perogitive.
That said, if they were already afraid, co quered that fear, met their fear, now we gotta talk PTSD. As someone mentioned, driving PTSD can be very sneaky and very real. Not addressing this could literally lead to a lifetime of carsickness as a passenger.
So yeah. I say saddle back up. It is scary and it can feel like you don’t have control, but that’s life. Rural roads minimize the negatives.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 3 weeks ago:
There’s no black and white to these terms.
Suffice it to say, when a working class person, say, gets a DUI, it will literally ruin their life.
When a middle class person gets a DUI, it will ruin their year.
When you’re upper middle class, that DUI fucking sucks. But you got it. Family is still going on vacation. Christmas isn’t cancelled.
When an upper class person gets a DUI, it will inconvenience their evening, and maybe, just maybe, their public image. (gasp)
- Comment on How do you charge an electric car without a credit card? 3 weeks ago:
Not having a credit card doesn’t make it any more difficult for someone to steal your identity, provided you keep your car secure.
Like, the essence of having a line of credit does not prevent someone from opening a line of credit in your name.
I dont have an answer to your question, but if that is really the only reason you don’t have a CC, just get a CC.
- Comment on How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend? 3 weeks ago:
Man the difference between 23 and 33 and giving a shit is crazy.
I had my heart broken badly when I was 23 and honestly, it fucked up a good bit of my 20s.even some of my 30s.
My advice first will be therapy. Breakups hurt losing friends hurts. Your gonna feel the pain of the collapse of the ability to dream about your shared future a lot. You need to start dreaming about a new different future.
This mext piece of advice might sound impossible, but you need to go no contact with her for a good 6 months while you process this. That muscle in your brain trained to daydream about your future is gonna be a bitch, and hanging out and acting like friends is gonna make that take forever. Go no contact. You can be friends again later, but not now.
You got this.

This PC is basically top of the line.
Important question? Will be be running Windows or Linux?
Intel i9 14th gen and Nvidia graphics on Linux… Those CPUs have had issues and Nvidia graphics and Linux are a notorious frustration. Don’t get me wrong, I do it, it’s doable. It’s just a bit of troubleshooting here and there.
With Windows, this won’t be as much of a consideration.
But to answer your question, it’s top tier.
- Comment on Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness? 3 weeks ago:
It depends on your perspective of what feigned happiness is.
There’s a fine line between faking a mood and trying your best to see something in a positive light.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 3 weeks ago:
In my neck of the woods, gas station owners have sharpies which of the 10 buttons is the mute button.
So as soon as the ad plays you just press mute.
It is God awful though.

Oh, maybe you missed it but it’s because there’s an asshole in office.

I find Bell Of The Ranch usually summarizes these sorts of political situations adequately.

- Comment on Using licence plate readers to track ICE 4 weeks ago:
You could probably deobfuscate their ad IDs on googles network to obtain real time tracking data for free.
It’d be a non-trivial project, but 100% doable.
Real Time Bidding is wild.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Did your kid have a working phone before or no phone at all?
This is very unusual, be it pocket change for them or not. If you were a loaded with cash, would they be cool with you buying their kid a Ferrari? A cyber truck? It’s not a normal thing to do, and it doesn’t respect that a given home might carry a particular set of rules of values.
If your kid has no phone, I could see this as a possible charitable act. Still weird. If you kid has a working phone this is fucking bananas, and you’re right to question every detail of this.
- Comment on Are some people too stupid to feel depressed? 4 weeks ago:
Considering it as “too stupid” is kind of delightfully ironic.
To answer your question, no.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 4 weeks ago:
I have used android phones without a case. Only one ended up with a crack.
I got a work phone. It’s an iPhone. Cracked screen in less than a week.

If it is sufficiently long, and the pattern is in any way dynamic then yes.
If they’re doing something like lemmy-core-420 then no.
A drummer friend used to do a few bars of a different rudiment. Like djddjdjjdjddjdjjdjddjdjjdjddjdjj and then account for PW rules
