Adjustable HUD offset for widescreen.
I have a 32:9 display and it SUCKS when HUD elements are anchored to the sides. I have to turn my head to see it!

No, this is the same video that’s been getting posted elsewhere but with some music added and uploaded to some random YouTube channel with a title that doesn’t match the content lol
There is no meltdown in this video, it’s just her being blind. Zero reflection

- You’d be a total moron to donate to some random person who claims they’ll use the money to bribe politicians

I am in full support of the community rules but that’s an interesting claim when like 1/3 of the posts are about men lol
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 1 week ago:
I’ve accidentally commented in that community more than once when it was a generic post…but the top comment nowadays is a reminder of the rules.
Very, very different than the examples you describe

- Comment on What's the name of this 80s song sang by a solo female singer? I only remember her saying "nothing really maaaa-tters" or "nothing truly maaaatt-ers". Has a vibe like I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn 2 weeks ago:
I think there’s a good chance you’re vividly misremembering the lyrics.
A few weeks ago I was looking for a song I was POSITIVE had the lyric “got to get my baby back” and it wasn’t until days later I remembered another lyric, found the song, and realized the lyric was actually “got to get a hold of this” (RJD2 - Through The Walls, by the way)
I have an insanely good musical memory so I was 100% sure on the lyric until proven otherwise lol

I don’t have an answer but I do have a few followup questions:
-
Do you know for sure that it’s an 80s song? As opposed to a song from later that sounds 80s?
-
How confident are you on the lyrics? Could you be remembering the cadence and misremembering the words?
-
Was the “get get get get down” part the singer herself or some kind of sample?
-
Was the “nothing truly matters” lyric a one-off line or part of the refrain?
-
Would you consider whistling the melody on vocaroo.com?

I’ve been resisting buying a cactus for awhile now and I think you just gave me the courage to put the idea out of my head forever lol
For anyone feeling the same, maybe check out caudiciforms as a substitute! They grow slow, don’t need much water, and come in a bunch of cool varieties. It’s like bonsai without all the pretentiousness
- Comment on fragile masculinity 2 weeks ago:
It’s crazy how different they can be. I have no idea why they even include shitty tomatoes at those places. Awful texture and no taste, what’s the appeal?
- Comment on fragile masculinity 2 weeks ago:
Well, shit. Greenhouse it is?
I’m debating replacing my ugly old shed with one
- Comment on fragile masculinity 2 weeks ago:
My old coworker told me he had only ever eaten the transparent slices of flavorlessness fast food restaurants call tomatoes until he moved from the slums to a rural town and had a fresh one. It blew his mind so much he went on to spend 15 years as a chef.
My dad’s been growing tomatoes my whole life so I’ve been spoiled
- Comment on fragile masculinity 2 weeks ago:
Do what my dad does and plant like 40 of em, they can’t eat them all!
- Comment on fragile masculinity 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this is weirdly sexist. I only know one person this describes because he’s growing weed (legally) in an apartment so he can’t have a outdoor garden
Hell, I know over a dozen men with gardens and only two even grow peppers. Everyone grows tomatoes, though…

You argue like an antisemite. What’s that about?

I mean isn’t “the future is for everyone” kind of a major theme in Star Trek?

- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 4 weeks ago:
Just want to say that I think they handled the Nomi thing very well in the movie. They were VERY aware of what the audience reaction would be and played into it. They could have pandered a couple different ways and chose not to

This does seem AI generated, yeah
- Comment on When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick? 4 weeks ago:
Halloween is huge in the suburbs, not so much in the city. I lived in the city for almost 20 years and my doorbell never rang once on Halloween. People don’t even really decorate.
The threat of a trick is just for fun, though. If someone answered the door, they are giving you candy. If they don’t, oh well! To the next house! Pranks like throwing toilet paper or egging (way less common) was for friends, enemies, and random houses. And that was teenagers doing it, not trick or treaters.
I’m back in the suburbs this year and am really looking forward to it starting in 2 hours. I have a ton of candy and homemade dog treats! I’m gonna ask them what their trick would be…maybe I’ll come back and share some of the funny ones.

I definitely agree (RIP Nujabes)
More of a joke about someone calling “anime soundtracks” a genre because they’re musically uncultured. I don’t even like The Doors lol
- Comment on Anon doesn't like the doors 4 weeks ago:
At this point I’m leaning toward it being an LLM

I feel like they’d say their favorite genre is “anime soundtracks”
