In all honesty, I’ve found a more willing group of people to discuss things with - even if a lot of the time, our platforms and views are very different. There’s a larger acceptance on Lemmy of other people’s views and their right to hold them which is super cool, every now and then though I get brought down to earth with a bump.
That’s the internet, though!
If I see someone’s reply start with “So, you…” - I’m already rolling my eyes so fast that I’m time traveling back to nineteen-blackandwhite. In general, it’s an overly reductive view on the statement that misrepresents the initial comment in order to try and spark a pointless argument.
It’s exhausting.
(in b4 “so you hate reading comments then?” 😂)
e: it’s not just Lemmy to be fair - the other popular aggregator, most tabloid news sites with comments, and a lot of gaming news sites with social interaction are largely the same.
I have a laptop for uni work that I bought in Jan 2011. It’s got Lubuntu running on it and most of my work is done on Google Docs… so I’m not seeing the benefit of upgrading really.
It works.
Maybe you need 350 carbon monoxide alarms!
Beautiful cat - she looks like a lot of fun!
The next few days will suuuuck, but you’ve got a lifetime of memories with her to look back on and enjoy 😊 take care friend!
Aye, and yer Giganta-bawbag can fuck right off an’ all.
Supereffective charged attack? Lets see how effective it is when I charge ma fuckin’ fist through yer fuckin’ napper, ya fuckin’ weapon.
Caught yersel a wee shiny fud, did ye aye? Ma dad works for Nintendo an’ all. Get tae.
Yer professor sells Avon.
Negative health effects aside, I do kinda miss the smell of certain places - the smoking tables of a restaurant, an 80’s arcade, the back bar of a country pub… not in a way that I liked the smell at all, but that’s what it always was, and taking an element away from it leaves a noticeable gap.
I suppose people of a later generation will never remember the difference, much like I never really knew anything but colour TV.
That said, I absolutely 100% do not miss going out on the piss, getting home somehow, and waking up in my clothes that absolutely reeked of smoke. It was horrific. A quick wash never seemed to clear it fully either - it was either a wash that lasted so long that it looked like you bought your clothes from the children’s aisle, or a whole day line drying to get rid of that stale smoke smell.
I’m glad the world is moving on.
The stewards have directed that Cat #69 failed to lift his paw when shown the blue flag, and as such impeded car 63.
Six penalty points and a €420 fine payable to Action For Road Safety added to the initial sanction.
Ten second penalty for impeding car 63.
Dying of piles sounds awful. Like, it would have been nice to marathon Ye Olde Stranger Things or Squide Game without having your arse falling to pieces on your deathbed deathsofa.
I was going to say that it had prioritised the most uses combination of letters… but I have a unique name that I’ve saved to the custom dictionary and it still reverts back to the anglicised name, like “stop autocorrecting my own damn name to something else”.
At least we know AI is fucked for a few years yet.
I can see two use cases for this:
When I’m at mile 12 of a half marathon and I’m absolutely dying, and running on caffeine and verbalised self-hatred to put one foot in front of the other, like “come on dickhead, you’ve done this in training, stop being a fucking fanny and get through this, you can do a mile on your dick and that last tenth of a mile is your poseur time, get through it you arse piece”
Or, if I’ve got a cold and need to walk the thirteen-point-one yards to the kitchen when my stomach is doing somersaults and my joints ache, like “go for it bellend, you ain’t getting better sat on your fat hoop, get some paracetemol and stop being a miserable cunt, you can do this”.
Maybe I’ve been leaning too hard in to the self-loathing as a coping strategy.
You misunderstand.
Keep the payment, take the goods.
😂 I should have known…!
Even if I want to get rid of something for nothing, I’ll put it up for a fiver.
The number of fucking idiots that come out of the woodwork rises exponentially when you list it for free, proper unreasonable or a ludicrous false sense of entitlement.
I’ll wait until someone wants it, offers to pay, and tell them to keep it and put it in a charity box on their way home or some shit. Saves a lot of hassle.
oh lawd he comin’
Cute, though!
Taking the #1 (or whatever number) ranked word would make for a good alternative to AskOuija or something.
I wondered why “die” was so common, until I realised we have a lot of Deutsch compadres too!
Yeah, a bit of sense is all you need. I’ve not used spoofing tools but a few of my friends have - we live rural too and it revolutionises the game. Even our local small city centre isn’t really raid friendly - it’s not like you can hang a out Times Square and literally walk into a full raid whenever you like.
That said, the weekly Pokémon Club in rural areas is a great social, and mons tend to stay in gyms for more than twelve seconds making it a bit easier to get pokecoins. The game is still heavily skewed towards city centres though.
The modern day spoofing apps are really quite impressive. Teleportation or time travelling generally gets you an account strike fairly quickly, but some of the cleverer automatic walking functions are really quite cool.
I’ve got it installed, but in fairness the nearly-fourteen year old laptop takes a fair while to start the application now.
I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs is a fairly decent cloud-based app that’s largely agnostic to the low specs of my laptop.
