You mean when plused strings stopped? Because that was tragic as hell

You know when adults who don’t have children talk to children? And there are no children in the room? Ok.

Comma splice here, comma splice there.
- Comment on How do you ask for a haircut? 1 week ago:
My barber is like c$40 now. Yeesh. But he’s really good – He can almost make me presentable!
- Comment on How do you ask for a haircut? 1 week ago:
Or, at least, try someone else. What’s the worst that could happen; they ignore you like these guys? right?
- Comment on How do you ask for a haircut? 1 week ago:
I bring a picture of myself with the haircut I want.
This is awesome. I have pics of great haircuts I’ve had, for when I move and need a new barber.
- Comment on How do you ask for a haircut? 1 week ago:
I used to do that on my birthday – just for the face, though.
Because it’s fucking awesome.

I’m drawing a blank on the term. What’s the word we use when one group of people get an advantage over others due entirely to circumstances around genes and birth?
- Comment on Yelp is making me get their app to confirm my restaurant reservation 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. I go in, in person. I do that for my doctor’s office too. Easier to get appointments.
- Comment on Yelp is making me get their app to confirm my restaurant reservation 2 weeks ago:
“we only take reservations through the app”
“I’ll tell my friends to steer clear, then. Gnight!”
- Comment on Yelp is making me get their app to confirm my restaurant reservation 2 weeks ago:
You didn’t pay a deposit for the seat, and everyone on the planet is near their cell phone or someone else’s. We have two each, here. It’s NOT like the news of a venue change won’t reach everyone.
- Comment on Yelp is making me get their app to confirm my restaurant reservation 2 weeks ago:
I would cancel and tell the restaurant why.
Oh, absolutely immediately.
- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
why you have to be completely sedated and pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for expensive anesthesia
I’ve got this one, my dude. It’s because American healthcare is mercenary and broken. When I had, um, a similar ‘retroscopic’ test from the other end, I was under a general, needed a buddy at the end, out for a few hours, etc; seems to be about the same.
Cost: $0
Premiums/subscription: $0
Material costs: $0 also
Like, I pay my income tax and the healthcare is just what’s there – we run it on income tax only, and before covid it was apparently funded adequately. Yeah, we’re short on doctors right now as many of them left the field because of aggressive ‘mah raghts’ hillbillies whipped into a frenzy by the conservatives, but they run the triage and they keep their appointments. It’s so different from when I lived in 07974.

overcrowded cities.
They’re making new people at a surprising rate in some of the places most impacted by climate change. You may need to adjust your expectations as resettling the residents of these at-risk places becomes a bigger effort.
- Comment on Anon wants to go to Nuuk 2 weeks ago:
literally abandoned
So the library shut down, then?

Bone apple tea!

Apple and Google turn a blind eye to large apps.
I know people at both companies adjacent compliance geoups. They certainly do NOT turn a blind eye. They know if they mess it up once then they’re BlackBerry.
- Comment on I hate people like this 2 weeks ago:
The workers have learned that they can’t pre-judge the person knocking on the door; that opening the door opens a conversation, and that a conversation can only impact them negatively despite following the rules.
They know a belligerent Karen can cause more problems on a phone than they need, and that it’s easier and safer to play deaf until the person goes away so there’s no specific target for her rage – if she’s that kind of person.
But, as mentioned, they don’t know whether she or he is a Chad or a Karen, and the odds are low but the impact is high. So, best to play deaf and work another day.
- Comment on I hate people like this 2 weeks ago:
It’s like it lives rent-free in the head and constantly pipes up saying just how monstrous that was. That’s rough punishment.

That summary is so close to English that it’s hard to decide which meaning gits going with.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 3 weeks ago:
use that clap emoji
If people are clapping between words like pre-schoolers singing about Bingo the dog, it’s not accidental. It’s a last resort to prevent our phones auto-correcting everything to the phrase “you dumb motherfucker”.
I agree, though – ‘full stop’ is just jargon and useless like ‘literally’.
- Comment on My new m.2 ssd 3 weeks ago:
Because they love to change the URLs of their website every year.
One of the universal truths is that a drunk sailor with a fistful of money could simply not buy anything on the HP site before he sobered up. That site is the hallmark of super-bad site design, and always has been.
- Comment on My new m.2 ssd 3 weeks ago:
I avoid HP laptops
… by listening to your physiotherapist and avoiding laptops altogether? Score!

Concussions are serious business. Stay safe.

That link gave me a migraine, I swear.
- Comment on if you're not going to let me do this microsoft then let me turn off auto restart all together. 3 weeks ago:
the only update that needs a reboot is one of the kernel
Okay, that’s not true. Glancing at dbus sideways will result in a reboot. But in systems free of systemd and all its entourage of shit, that’s still true.
- Comment on if you're not going to let me do this microsoft then let me turn off auto restart all together. 3 weeks ago:
Same goes for Linux and macOS, actually
Funny joke. But people who don’t understand why that’s not true may not get the joke.
