  Better than dick cheese. Ewww.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Great answer.

  This is otherwise kinda tough.

  Like, it’s okay to be afraid of things, even really important things. But you need to be aware the degree to which your life is limited by not learning these things.

  You don’t need to learn to swim. You don’t need to learn to drive. You don’t have to fly in a plane. Its all your perogitive.

  That said, if they were already afraid, co quered that fear, met their fear, now we gotta talk PTSD. As someone mentioned, driving PTSD can be very sneaky and very real. Not addressing this could literally lead to a lifetime of carsickness as a passenger.

  So yeah. I say saddle back up. It is scary and it can feel like you don’t have control, but that’s life. Rural roads minimize the negatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a lot to be known about me by knowing who my exes are, what my favorite songs are to sing in the car, and my fast food orders.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, companies would call homes to ask what was in their fridge, cupboard, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is what aggregators served to defeat. Like reddit or Lemmy. That’s what votes and “top hot trending” filters are all for.

  Not saying the resolve the issue, just saying this is well known and understood

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no black and white to these terms.

  Suffice it to say, when a working class person, say, gets a DUI, it will literally ruin their life.

  When a middle class person gets a DUI, it will ruin their year.

  When you’re upper middle class, that DUI fucking sucks. But you got it. Family is still going on vacation. Christmas isn’t cancelled.

  When an upper class person gets a DUI, it will inconvenience their evening, and maybe, just maybe, their public image. (gasp)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not having a credit card doesn’t make it any more difficult for someone to steal your identity, provided you keep your car secure.

  Like, the essence of having a line of credit does not prevent someone from opening a line of credit in your name.

  I dont have an answer to your question, but if that is really the only reason you don’t have a CC, just get a CC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Man the difference between 23 and 33 and giving a shit is crazy.

  I had my heart broken badly when I was 23 and honestly, it fucked up a good bit of my 20s.even some of my 30s.

  My advice first will be therapy. Breakups hurt losing friends hurts. Your gonna feel the pain of the collapse of the ability to dream about your shared future a lot. You need to start dreaming about a new different future.

  This mext piece of advice might sound impossible, but you need to go no contact with her for a good 6 months while you process this. That muscle in your brain trained to daydream about your future is gonna be a bitch, and hanging out and acting like friends is gonna make that take forever. Go no contact. You can be friends again later, but not now.

  You got this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This PC is basically top of the line.

  Important question? Will be be running Windows or Linux?

  Intel i9 14th gen and Nvidia graphics on Linux… Those CPUs have had issues and Nvidia graphics and Linux are a notorious frustration. Don’t get me wrong, I do it, it’s doable. It’s just a bit of troubleshooting here and there.

  With Windows, this won’t be as much of a consideration.

  But to answer your question, it’s top tier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on your perspective of what feigned happiness is.

  There’s a fine line between faking a mood and trying your best to see something in a positive light.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, maybe you missed it but it’s because there’s an asshole in office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did Musk and Trump fall out over?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find Bell Of The Ranch usually summarizes these sorts of political situations adequately.

  Disclaimer: She’s not a news source. But, you know, neither are we here, so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using licence plate readers to track ICE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could probably deobfuscate their ad IDs on googles network to obtain real time tracking data for free.

  It’d be a non-trivial project, but 100% doable.

  Real Time Bidding is wild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In both cases, it is decided by subject locality. Not object locality.

  As I said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not physical distance.

  “Here in earth, the air is made mostly of oxygen.”

  “Here in the milky way Galaxy…”

  It’s about locality to the subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're having difficulty figuring out how to pronounce "data," say database.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Listen, data is singular, and data is plural.

  Data goes into a database. It’s comprised of individual components of data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did your kid have a working phone before or no phone at all?

  This is very unusual, be it pocket change for them or not. If you were a loaded with cash, would they be cool with you buying their kid a Ferrari? A cyber truck? It’s not a normal thing to do, and it doesn’t respect that a given home might carry a particular set of rules of values.

  If your kid has no phone, I could see this as a possible charitable act. Still weird. If you kid has a working phone this is fucking bananas, and you’re right to question every detail of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are some people too stupid to feel depressed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering it as “too stupid” is kind of delightfully ironic.

  To answer your question, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A WYSIWYG editor for personal website?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, I only include it as a “woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!” lower barrier to entry.

  Try WordPress first. If they’re absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A WYSIWYG editor for personal website?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Use WordPress. It’s by far the most used content management platform, so if you’re a beginner, you’ll find the most resources. It’s also free and open source.

  Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.

  There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have used android phones without a case. Only one ended up with a crack.

  I got a work phone. It’s an iPhone. Cracked screen in less than a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pee pee is never poo time. But poo time is always poo time.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is FALSE.

  I remember I was once very sick, and I pooped. No pee.

  I remember distinctly going ‘oh shit does that mean I’m dead?’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it is sufficiently long, and the pattern is in any way dynamic then yes.

  If they’re doing something like lemmy-core-420 then no.

  A drummer friend used to do a few bars of a different rudiment. Like djddjdjjdjddjdjjdjddjdjjdjddjdjj and then account for PW rules

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole anti Google holier than thou is annoying at these levels.

  Ok fine, don’t use Google. But telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade is worse than vegans telling you about their diet.

  I’m all for kicking Google to the curb. I’m not for shoving my beliefs down other people’s throats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social nuke⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I use it as a sort of block filter staging area.

  A reminder of why I should block them if they match their label later.

  Or, to keep things not negative all the time, I have a ton of users tagged simply “yes” if they were funny, provided good help, or were generally pleasant to interact with :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDDs: How loud is *too* loud?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I don’t know. I wanna know too.

  I got a refurb drive in 2019 that has been clicking and rumbling a little to moderately for 6 years now. Great value at this point, but it’s replacement is gathering dust at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny how we see the world in landscape, but live it mostly in portrait.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really, this argument ignores the greater mystery.

  What the fuck is humans obsession with right angles?

  • They don’t represent our actual visual field
  • They aren’t space efficient.
  • They aren’t strong.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does (human) organ trafficking exist?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
