Kids these days are just so lazy, back then the average man could lift way more weight

Shit, I’ll never forget being at home watching the towers burn on TV as a kid and seeing things falling from them and asking my mom what they were and hearing “those are people jumping rather than burn to death”. Horrifying. What a choice to make.

I’ve never been motivated to create a time machine, but you’ve suddenly made it extremely appealing…

What if we can’t see God because we’re all just a bunch of random synapses firing in some higher beings brain while they’re having a fever dream? After our world “ends” they’re gonna wake up and go “holy shit that was a fucked up dream”

I missed that update! This is great news!

I’m in the (gradual) process of switching all my stuff from Gmail and Google to Proton mail. I really like the mail client and Proton Drive works better on my computers than Google Drive did, but Proton Drive doesn’t back up my phone yet and I wish they had an office suite like Google does. I don’t put anything important or private on Google docs, but it’s useful to be able to access my textbook notes from any of my computers. I haven’t used the password manager because I’m using Bitwarden, which I really like.

- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
I would love to consider getting an electric car whenever I can afford a new(er) vehicle. But there’s no way my landlord will let me run an extension cord from my 3rd story apartment around the building and around the pond between my building and the parking lot. It’s sad that an EV would be so great, but its really a mark of privilege to own both in initial affordability and just having the place to park and charge one. Not that it matters, I can’t afford anything other than my 24 year old Honda.

Hanging at dawn then?
I try to use Firefox and Librewolf as much as I can, but the fact is that I’m a student and the websites my school uses for certain classes do not work on Firefox/Librewolf. I’ve also run into issues with certain other websites not running right and then when I switch to a chromium browser everything is fine. I don’t have the knowledge to properly troubleshoot if the problem is on my end or just a shitty website, so it’s just easier to use Brave when I need it.

- Don’t admit you use Windows
- Don’t talk about any browser other than Firefox, Librewolf or a spinoff
- Linux, Linux, Linux.
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
I agree. I honestly hate boss battles. I love playing video games on hard mode, but for some reason boss battles have never filled my soul with joy or given me a sense of satisfaction when I’m done. They just irritate me. I definitely have games where I’m on the hardest difficulty for normal game play and then right before every boss battle I’m going into settings changing the difficulty to story mode so I can knock them down in 5 hits and move on with the game.

Is that how I ended up with crippling depression and anxiety?
- Comment on Metadata and torrents. ELI5? 1 year ago:
So - and to be clear, I’m not interested in pirating or sharing illegal data (or even setting up a torrent at this time)- for informational purposes and trying to be better educated, how do you even torrent? Everyone talks about it like it’s some easy thing, but do you have to use a certain server, websites, or what? How do you set up a torrent?
On another note, I wish there was an “internet privacy and general use for dummies guide” that wasn’t just “don’t share your personal info online”. I’m not an idiot, but I wasn’t allowed on the internet as a kid so there’s huge gaps in what I know. I’m in a weird gap where I’m above the average non-tech savvy person (I know enough that I built my PC) but I don’t know enough to begin to understand what tech savvy people are talking about. I’m trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can without looking like a complete idiot.

So, in really simple terms, meta data is like a customs declaration slip on a package?

- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 1 year ago:
I can line up with my side mirror and back in almost just as quick as I can pull in, and then I don’t have to potentially back into traffic and risk some asshole flying up on me without me expecting it or hitting a pedestrian.
Also, I drove ambulances for a long time. You always always always back emergency vehicles in. 1. To always be prepared to respond 2. Scene safety. It’s absolutely drilled into our heads from day 1 of EMT school that you are able to leave a scene faster than you got there if something goes very wrong very quick.
So many years of backing an ambulance in to park everywhere I went and I don’t even think about backing my tiny ass Honda into a spot now. It feels incredibly wrong not to.
