- Comment on My possibly degenerating brain and typing comments: Does font make a difference? Can I change this site's font? 9 hours ago:
…I also make a ton more typos on Lemmy than elsewhere and I have no idea why. I thought it was an update to my phone’s keyboard. Or my touch screen is misaligned or something.
- Comment on Because of Trump, is it now open for someone with a criminal background to hold the office? 1 day ago:
…???
Instead of focusing on Trump, think about how badly that would have been abused. The ruling party would find bullshit charges on their political opponents.
It also doesn’t make any sense to outright bar people who broke the law because a lot of times people run for office to change the law
- Comment on Because of Trump, is it now open for someone with a criminal background to hold the office? 2 days ago:
That’s besides the point. It’s explicitly allowed to prevent the weaponization of felonies against political opponents.
- Comment on Because of Trump, is it now open for someone with a criminal background to hold the office? 2 days ago:
A felony has never barred you from the position and that is by design. Literally nothing to do with Trump
- Comment on Female approached by man 1 week ago:
They should be thinking about what they can do to make you comfortable, ideally before they do it, and this guy clearly wasn’t.
I agree that OP’s reaction was reasonable but what about the guy’s actions make it so clear to you that he wasn’t thinking about OP’s comfortability? They tried to strike up a friendly conversation and backed off immediately when it wasn’t well-received.
It’s fine to not want to talk but people really shouldn’t have to avoid basic human interaction just because 1% of people might not be interested at that time.

He stumbled out of the burning orphanage and lowers the last child safely to the ground. “Thank you, you’re incredible!” they shout.
Stoy glances at the man’s clothes and mutters loudly, “wearing white after labor day is incredible?”
- Comment on Anon wants sources 2 weeks ago:
I looked it up earlier and don’t remember the exact characters so forgive the romanization but it’s basically changing “di” to “mis” at the end of verbs.
“It rained” vs “apparently it rained” when you did not actually see it raining but the sidewalk is wet.
“Ali is sick” vs “Ali is supposedly sick” when you did not confirm it (or perhaps doubt Ali’s claim??)

What the fuck, the English stole everything that wasn’t bolted down and they didn’t take THAT with them? PRIORITIES, guys. Skip the French crap and integrate THIS
- Comment on Do dogs actually like having their belly rubbed or do they just know we really like to rub their bellies? 2 weeks ago:
My dog only “lets” me pet him how he wants. If he’s on his side and I put my hand on him, he’ll either roll over for belly pets or do a big stretch for chest scratches. Or nothing if he wants me to leave him alone.
And then other times hell come up to me on his own and flip over. That means he wants me to play his ribcage like washboard
- Comment on How do the people claiming the X2 causes brain bleeds explain why every other rollercoaster isn't also causing fatal brain bleeds? 2 weeks ago:
They got some pretty good answers in that thread…Which only adds to your belief that they’re a cop.

Lol I know multiple people born in the 80s whose parents came out of the closet in the 2000s/2010s. Hell, my one friend has two moms now.

I take it back, I saw them say Reddit agent lmao
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 3 weeks ago:
Follow-up thought: are they the same as the account posting “space news”? Equally dull content bot that usually doesn’t link sources
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
Wish they’d get IP banned. The second account exists to circumvent the community bans of the first
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
They definitely are, I just don’t think oldmanalex is one of them. I could be wrong! I think all repost bots should get banned regardless
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
Probably my least favorite Lemmy user of all time. He truly believes he’s not making this place worse.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
Time2lose is almost definitely u/sanitation after he got torn apart in his “everyone who doesn’t like my repost bot is wrong” post. They’re using the same software that trunctates post titles. They’re both clearly Russian and have made some anti-ukraine comments.
And not to get all conspiratorial but it is a biiit suspicious that a Russian bot is spamming tabloids to the US news communities when we’re approaching an important election. At the very least, it’s annoying as fuck.
I don’t think the user you’re talking about in the top post is the same, though. Different posting styles, totally different content. I also don’t think it’s the same person as the (thankfully dead) SteamAndEpic account, either, though that one was also Russian. Just a lazy spammer this time.
Wholly agreed with your conclusion, though.

He’s like 14 or at least has the brain of one. I hate the sexist shit he always posts. Let’s keep 4chan shit like that on 4chan

The original has been posted before and the irony of criticizing stolen work using a stolen post is just too much for me, sorry.

You think the problem with the term is…the first word?

Text as an image is my mildlyinfuriating. Just post the damn text.

Weird, I couldn’t get that to show up at all
- Comment on Anon identifies a trope 4 weeks ago:
I did some digging and about a year ago they introduced a “please turn off afblockers :(” popup that would sometimes even show even without an adblocker. But nothing recent
- Comment on Anon identifies a trope 4 weeks ago:
That link loaded fine for me? With and without an adblocker
- Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped? 4 weeks ago:
Because it’s irrelevant to the point that they’re a scummy company who takes an insane cut of the sale price?
But here you go. This is the category I’d be selling under.
- Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped? 4 weeks ago:
New. I have the receipts with the manuals
- Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped? 4 weeks ago:
I found a site for it but they don’t list their fees anywhere so I thought it was kind of shady. Maybe I should call up some local places and see if they know any good places, thanks for the tip
- Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped? 4 weeks ago:
Those were from memory but it looks more like 13-15% plus the listing fees and anything else. Still a full grand off the sale so my position stands
It’s insane to me that people are defending eBay, has anyone sold anything there in the past few years?? I stopped using it after feeling completely ripped off with them taking $150 on a video card sale

I kept it vague because a paranoid bastard. I don’t want to any associations between this post and the listing!
Think manufacturing hardware. Or lab equipment. It’s a common machine in this field but it’d be rare to find in a home.
