- Comment on Golden 5 months ago:
The video on Jan Hendrick Schön was what I thought of on opening the thread
- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 7 months ago:
Thanks for letting me know that that community exists! It’s one of my favourite subreddit so there being a Lemmy alternative is great news!
- Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use? 8 months ago:
Is that the stuff that comes in a little glass vial?
- Comment on Why did they move the comments to the right 8 months ago:
I didn’t for so long despite knowing about it, and now i cannot deal with YouTube without it
- Comment on I bet this is what Colin Jost did 8 months ago:
I mean, Colin Jost has a lot more than modest good looks…
- Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life? 8 months ago:
When I was more active in ED spaces, shows like these were really popular. I watched a lot of Supersize v Superskinny but didn’t really bother with the others.
Came from a starved mindset where I so obsessed with food and weight that I only wanted to watch stuff that related directly to food and weight.
There was also discussion in ED spaces I was in about how the stuff that these shows were doing was unhealthy and fucked up but had been deemed entertainment and therefore permissable. But us doing similar stuff was (rightfully) seen as fucked up.
I want to stress that no one in the communities I was in was ever judging the contestants. The only people we were viewing negatively were the producers who were putting people in danger and also like, ourselves.
- Comment on Why do people wear shoes inside the house? 9 months ago:
Barely related; but I use a square of astroturf to stop my cat tracking which works really well! Unfortunately, because it made the place look so aggressively, manufactured suburban green, I was forced to create a whole white picket fence poop garden for him.
- Comment on Picture that sparked Microsoft's "SexGate" released by a whistleblower. 11 months ago:
Two relevant quotes from this article^Paywalled link, I’m afraid^
A summary of the book the author (Dr Linsey McGoey) wrote on the subject: “billionaires who make their fortunes through corporate practices that undercut workers and deepen inequality — like corporate tax avoidance, insufficient sick pay and the immoral gap in pay between executives and low-paid workers — are not the solution to problems they generate.”
“Asking Bill Gates to fix inequality is like asking an arsonist to hose down your house after he just set it on fire. Philanthropists might have the deep pockets to fund the fire engine and water hose, but the money is coming from making our houses unlivable in the first place.”
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 11 months ago:
Horizon Forbidden West; I went on holiday just before the final mission and when I went to pick it back up, I discovered that my controller was fucked. Now I’m waiting for the PC remaster because, I still find using a controller slightly unnatural.
- Comment on Picture that sparked Microsoft's "SexGate" released by a whistleblower. 11 months ago:
My whole childhood the Gates was touted as this super altruistic, good rich person who was all about charity. It was only after I found out about the whole Oxford vaccine thing (indenting my aside/rant)
Gate’s urged Oxford to exclusively allow AstraZeneca the rights to their vaccine “rather than sticking to the university’s own guidance that any deal it makes include non-exclusive and royalty-free licensing”, a deal with no guarantee of accessibility or affordability. Given that the vast majority of the funding of this vaccine was public funds…fuck that.
that I found out that the Foundation was always just a way to rehabilitate an image of ruthlessness I never knew he had. I guess it worked, given how he was discussed when I was growing up, but hopefully he won’t be able to do it again.
- Comment on Legendary exit for a legendary creator 11 months ago:
It’s interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I’ve seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.
Although, I’d love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn’t feel as unproductive if the videos are educational…
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
Thank you for explaining! I’m almost impressed by how thoroughly I missed the joke.
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
Oh my god, I’m such a fucking idiot! Thank you for you patience and sorry for being so slow!
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
But how does the ex come in to it? Did they sign them up spam?
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
Could someone explain this to me? Are these gift cards?
- Comment on You can only pick one 11 months ago:
Yeah, plus it feels like the trends for my age group are just the trends from younger people, but with a slight delay
- Comment on Why Shoes Left Unworn for a Long Time Get Broken Easily When Finally Used? 11 months ago:
Also the sole completely detaching
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 11 months ago:
The manosphere shit actually doesn’t bother me as much as the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that just make me feel completely valueless and like nothing will ever change.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 11 months ago:
Honestly it’s mostly the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that I was thinking of last night when I commented. The incel shit, I can deal with. But it’s the casual objectification, as well as the diminishing of anything outside of a woman’s appearance that I find exhausting.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 11 months ago:
A lot more sexist
- Comment on Coincidence?! 11 months ago:
I wasn’t disagreeing that it’s been called both; I just haven’t heard the other name in a decade or so. Probably a filter bubble thing.
- Comment on Coincidence?! 11 months ago:
The traditional name, Uluru, is what is commonly used in Australia.
(I’m genuinely not trying to be a dick, I’ve just not heard the British name used in decades)
- Comment on Frequently 11 months ago:
Give me that quick save/load function
- Comment on 'Leave them stranded': Rideshare drivers shut off apps at Atlanta airport, boycott for hours 11 months ago:
I’m from Australia; Everyone I know will default to public transport when travelling. My partner and I normally book our accommodation with public transport in mind.
Using a different public transport system is really not that big a deal…
- Comment on What are some helpful resources to learn to touch type on smartphones? 11 months ago:
I actually still had it installed and seeing you mention it promoted me to try it again.
I was so hoping it had been resurrected by the dev because it’s such a neat keyboard.
- Comment on What are some helpful resources to learn to touch type on smartphones? 11 months ago:
Wait!? Is Minuum back?! I thought the developer abandoned it?
