  In Peru (and some islands in the Pacific as well IIRC), some regions have nine digit numbering plans. This may have been a call from one of those areas. More likely its spam.

  You’re self-filtering yourself from the community. Based on these interactions, I think you’re doing the lord’s work. Keep it up!👍

  You can click “Do not recommend channel” or “Not interested” on these recommendations to filter them out.

  C’mon man. Social anxiety isn’t some niche mystery. Cut OP some slack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a scientist but wouldn’t the atmospheric pressure need to be insane to bring the boiling point of water to 500°C? Is that even possible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  REAPER rules. I started on ProTools in 2010. Ditched it for Reaper in 2012 and never looked back. Best $60 I ever spent. I’ve gladly bought multiple licenses for my devices over the years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  White teeth are commonplace with people that post videos and images of themselves online on a daily basis. I would hesitate to refer to any videos with an influencer vibe as being reflective of the average in North America.

  Nobara or Bazzite are your best Linux options for gaming. I’ve been on Nobara for over a year with nothing but good things to say about the distro and its community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, that’s so sad. HLD is my favourite game of all time so I’m heartbroken to hear Heart Machine is struggling with Breaker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where did you hear about the issues? I’m curious to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can calf raise as much as I can squat, yet I have pretty small calves relative to my thighs/glutes. What's the deal?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of a see-saw at the playground. Put a 50lb kid on one end and a fully grown adult on the other. The adult obviously lifts the kid, right? Put the adult one inch from the center pivot point and guess what, the kid’s weight now lifts the adult.

  Think of how long your quads are in relation to the length of your femur. Pretty much equal. Now think of your calf’s length in relation to the length of your foot. Its almost twice as long. That’s almost twice the amount of leverage compared to your quads.

  This is the difference between the two and why your calves seem so much more capable for their size than your quads.

  Leverage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  whose house is it? If you have a kid, that kid is equally entitled to the space you’ve brought them into. That’s a burden you chose to bear when you chose to see a pregnancy to fruition.

  should two consenting aduts adapt…? Yes, especially in the presence of children. Even if we were talking about roommates instead of kids it should be self-evident that your roommate is not wanting to hear you having sex twice a day. Its a common courtesy to be considerate of others around you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels like malicious compliance to me. If I was your kid, I’d be pissed if you felt entitled to attempting to assert dominance like this.

  This is how your kids start resenting you as they grow up. Consider treating them like they’re a part of a family unit that respects boundaries instead of shoving a material possession their way to shut them up. Growing up feeling like an inconvenient burden fucks up a lot of kids in this world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a federated Strava alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you have a bunch of dog walkers added to your feed? Just remove them and be more conscious of who you are adding in the future.

  I can’t say I share your experience at all on Strava. I find it to be minimal with the ads. They’re not intrusive at all IMO.

  Lemmy feels dead to you?

  Huh…

  It certainly feels very lively to me.

  They “trust” me.

  Dumb fucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Try Cogmind, Caves of Qud or Dwarf Fortress maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people develop feelings for someone?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To like someone means you enjoy their presence. If people enjoy it when you’re present you’re almost guaranteed to eventually have someone take interest in you.

  For people to enjoy your presence you need to be comfortable with yourself as an individual before anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question because I’m OOTL, but haven’t games been this price for a long time now and weren’t Switch games even more expensive than this?

  I’m a bit confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t think Ubisoft needs to advertise a new Assassins Creed game beyond a few ads here and there, and chatting with some journalists. Spending a ton of money to allow people to play it ahead of time on stream just dilutes the experience for anyone that intends on buying the game.

  Seriously, the last thing I want is for the start of a new game to be spoiled for me by some streamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You down vote me for saying the truth.

  If you think installing Linux is hard you’ve either never done it and let other people dictate your opinions, you’re incompetent with computers or you can’t follow a simple step-by-step guide.

  If you or someone you know sucks with computers, that’s fine. I get not moving someone from Win to Linux if they can’t understand the digital equivalent of tying their shoes. Just get a Chromebook if that’s the case.

  Barring cases of disability, using Windows at a basic level is not hard. Most home users use it to browse the dust on the upper crust of the internet, write a doc, print shit and nothing more. I bet if you swapped Win for Linux on most people’s computers and riced it to look like Win 11 many of them would be none the wiser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not a Linux problem, that’s a PEBKAC or hardware problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If installing something like Linux Mint is not intuitive enough for someone, they probably don’t even know what they’re doing on Windows either.

  That price is insane when the Miyoo Mini+ is under $100 CAD.

  I can appreciate your viewpoint here, but there are a lot of good people in this world that are married to absolute scumbags.

  Dude, thank you for this context. I was already aware of these considerations but just wanted to thank you for sharing this with everyone. Its participation like this that makes the internet a better place. 🍻
