  I use it as soon as it’s clear what it means. If there are multiple turns, that might be four seconds so that they don’t expect me to turn early. I’ll typically hit it in the middle of the intersection of the first turn.

  If there’s no earlier option to turn, I’ll absolutely leave it on for 10-15 seconds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Vance could be relatively good. Signs point to no, but those signs are weak. The only thing I truly know about him is that he’ll lie for power. What he does once he gets that power is anyone’s guess.

  He’s close to Peter Thiel. His book is really fucking condescending towards the rural poor. (Why don’t they just get out like he did?) He’s young enough to go for a second term if he gets half a first term. And he hates Trump except when he needs to use him to gain power.

  That’s the complete record of what we know about Vance. Maybe his book was bullshit that he knew would play well with rich conservatives. Maybe he was using Peter Thiel. Maybe there’s a human in there we’ve never seen. Or maybe not.

  You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Oliver faces defamation lawsuit from US healthcare medical director⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they cancel LWT, I cancel Max. 100%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cat turns him in⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’ll cheat with you they’ll cheat on you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It didn’t help that we spent 50 years saying not to discuss politics or religion.

  But the current situation was largely a coordinated propaganda effort, likely combined with blackmail on politicians. Possibly caused by the hacked emails. Both the DNC and RNC were hacked. Only the DNC side was released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in Group Chat With Atlantic Journalist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was more of a breach than anything Hillary ever did with her emails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to take over c/virginia⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve been appointed as a mod to !virginia . Good luck! I should send a welcome message later this evening with more info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's why it's called science fiction duh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still the recognized Internet stereotype.

  People just aren’t noticing that this is protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's why it's called science fiction duh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be discussing declining the procedure based on that. I don’t know if I’d pull the trigger, based on a number of things: how likely can I get the procedure done elsewhere or by a different surgeon, how badly and quickly do I need the procedure, insurance issues. But I’d certainly try to talk to hospital staff about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to take over abandoned community⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion, don’t feel bad if you need to go back to certain subreddit for particular things, or if it turns up in search results. It was a great site for about a decade and reflects a huge chunk of the internet at this point (which is part of the problem.)

  Myself, I just don’t do general browsing there anymore, and it’s nearly always in read-only unless I’m talking about Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to take over abandoned community⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Normally I wouldn’t appoint someone so new, but the story and the timing makes sense.

  Good luck. The all page here does quite well. The niche stuff is having more trouble taking off on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has brand loyalty⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be an older monitor, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has brand loyalty⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t that not be enough though? It should help in a lot of places, particularly the bar itself and the digits. But I’d be concerned that the center of the battery indicator and the wifi icon would still burn in.

  Or maybe people just don’t keep their phones charged.

  I’m sure other instances have their own policies. Some are willing to take on more legal risk than LW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon downloads a game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good warning (you hope). You clearly grabbed shady software. If you’re lucky it’s not malicious, this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuck this asshole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe getting rid of social security, freedom of speech, and the national parks will do the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to close boardgames@lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What is your role in LW support? Are you able to approve requests here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to close boardgames@lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was your input really needed here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨/stares smiling into camera/⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kendrick Lamar did it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences freedom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure if it were up to these people, the law would have never passed. And it would be repealed now.

  But it’s not. This is what the people of Florida voted for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to be added as a mod to https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not the way to handle this. See the things in the sidebar to the right to report it in a better way.

  I went through about a week, and there’s some really vile shit in there, but I didn’t see racism. Misogyny, sure. Lame boomer humor, absolutely. But I didn’t immediately find anything I should take action against.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell nah brah⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is referring to after you know the person, already have their number, etc. You still text before every call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell nah brah⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s somewhat age gated. But I love it. A phone call or of nowhere means I need to drop everything and give you my full attention, and I have to make that decision within 20 seconds or it’s too late.

  A text first gives me so many more options. Especially if I like to prepare, for example, stepping out of the crowded office. Or parking the car. (Which still works even if I don’t read texts until parked.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP (again)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think most any full time job in the US has bereavement leave.

  It’s only the poorest of the poors that get absolutely fucked, as is tradition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says Ukraine started the war that's killing its citizens. What are the facts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the 4% approval rating. After all, it was from a fresh poll out of Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm on multiple levels⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “From many old people”, in case you were curious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuked from orbit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If Spez had given a Nazi salute and taken over the US government, I would have left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuked from orbit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Still means she’s on Twitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A troll (https://lemm.ee/u/shinigamiookamiryuu) is a new moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world. What can be done about this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He intended it. He very clearly, extremely clearly intended it. The best possible interpretation is that he instead to do it because he wanted to troll people and he’s the biggest moron imaginable, but that really doesn’t check out. He did it from behind the presidential seal.

  He was aware of what he was doing. He considered his actions well in advance.

  Attempting to add doubt to that idea is promoting the neo-Nazi agenda. You’re trying to turn his bullhorn into a dog whistle. It’s offensive and near bannable.

  I try to use words over mod/admin tools when possible, and if you’re trying to do what it appears you’re trying to do, then it’s not very effective.
