- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 39 minutes ago:
This makes the most sense. Sell them here. Built elsewhere? Tax the shit out of them. You can avoid the tax by creating American jobs and having them manufactured here.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 2 days ago:
For us it comes for free from the prime account. I still refuse to watch anything on Prime video, but I believe I’m not pirating because I technically do have access to all these movies/shows. That’s logical right?

They’re what the French call “les incompetentes”.
- Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites 1 week ago:
The Internet has been gentrified. Sure, there were some tough places that you had to be careful about wandering into, but there were great experiences. Now it’s this homogenous, cultivated experience.
- Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites 1 week ago:
I dunno, I had this conversation in another thread recently. I was 13 in 2000. The web was a disaster then. Sure, there were good parts, but every website was an outright attack on your computer. Java and Flash were everywhere and they were so easily exploited. I’d go to websites and they’d pop up 100 different windows of hardcore porn, audio on, the whole nine.
But yeah, it’s just a different suck now.
- Comment on It's important to get a good interest rate 1 week ago:
I just use credit for everything and hover in the 820s. Unless there’s some substantial discount for paying cash I just don’t see the point these days.
That being said, my wonderful credit score ain’t doing shit for me. It’s not like I get some magical super low interest rate. Maybe when things calm down it’ll be worth it, but then there will be some other reason not to borrow money.
- Comment on People get addicted to delivery apps cause it lets you pretend you're on vacation all the time 1 week ago:
Ever look into the meal kits? As an example, Home Chef had 15m meal kits that were essentially “add heat,” and I think there are even some microwave ready options. I’m neuro-regular? Not hip to the vernacular. But I can empathize with the idea of dinner being a fucking him climb sometimes, not just preparing but deciding. A dinner that has become a staple in my home was one I made from the meal delivery service that I just get now, so it’s nice to have it in my pocket.
Unrelated, I went to Norway once and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was way up north, but had an evening to get out and mingle with locals and everyone was friendly and inclusive, it was nice. I’m from Jersey, New, for reference.
I hope you have a nice day.
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I remember when they started rolling out data plans and they were hefty and the Internet on phones was useless. Then GPS on your phone was an add-on, also hefty. So it’s definitely improved.
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 2 weeks ago:
This was certainly in the US at one point. I remember having 500 per month, which was an absolute joke for 16 year old me with a girlfriend the next town over, and paying 25 send and 5 receive afterwards. Old cell plans were absolute trash.

So esse finally the music video for Drugs by Ratatat.
- Comment on Tell Borts I said "Hi" 3 weeks ago:
This is giving me big Mrs. Munger’s Class vibes, I love it. And I love that this reminded me of some nonsense I watched when I was a kid. Fucking Mahoot always got me.
- Comment on When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video? 3 weeks ago:
I look slightly above their eyes, at the forehead or even as high as their hairline. I do not break contact with their upper face.
- Comment on When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video? 3 weeks ago:
I swear people in on Zoom to testify and for some reason I took to looking at the camera because it perhaps makes it more official, since I assume they’re looking at me. I dunno. Life is one big joke.
- Comment on Want to lose weight? Poverty can help! 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, probably taking America poor, not Africa poor.
- Comment on Jesus, help me! - No! 4 weeks ago:
It developed just fine, those are some nice extra legs Jesus has.
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 4 weeks ago:
This is the issue. Roku is good for kids, wife, and me, three vastly different skill levels. My garage? It’s just my PC hooked up to a receiver that can go to a projector or a TV. I need something a little more user friendly inside. A buddy has the Nvidia Shield that I think is solid, but the Roku I have at home has a fantastic UI, or at least one were familiar with, which I think is key.
- Comment on The United States of America, but for Trans People 4 weeks ago:
Shit, I’m as lucky as they come, straight white male, and I don’t want to visit any of the missing states, except for Savannah, Georgia, which is just a nice time.
Upstate NY probably not so Trans friendly either, but always gets lumped in with NYC. It’s really a wasteland outside of maybe the finger lakes region. Saratoga/Lake George are all right too.
- Comment on I feel so old. 5 weeks ago:
It’s pretty nice but I’m not sure how it’s related!!

What if it was a joke the whole time and it isn’t worth diving into the weeds about it.

What happened to the other Longson?
- Comment on I just want my nuggies 1 month ago:
We had a bag of cat food for our diabetic cat that had the Ziploc feature, and it is far and away the best bag-closing design there is. We ended up just dumping future foods into that bag. Cat has since passed, bag remains, an homage to her legacy.
- Comment on I don't like what I've seen, man 1 month ago:
Lemmy shitpost all too frequently devolves (or I guess evolves) into some serious discussion. Why can’t shitpost just be shitpost?!
- Comment on Just doing my part 🤡 2 months ago:
I did the ambulance thing for a bit. CPR calls, the back of the ambulance, despite being covered in fluids, looked like a recycling center. And none of it gets recycled, obviously, all just gets red bagged or containered. Everything is individually wrapped, and for obvious reasons, but I’d have days where I could match my family’s plastic use for the week or more in 12 hours.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s all too late. Shit, PRISM was 2007, so there’s a copy of everything somewhere. Obviously different ends.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 2 months ago:
Yeah, I wish I never had to use a mouse. Only serves to slow things down. Obviously, gaming, necessary, but anything productive, taking your hands off the keyboard is a waste.
I am not a programmer, either. Using Excel and Word are secondary functions in my job, basically administrative, making invoices, record keeping, but they function so much better with your hands on keyboard. Alt menus for the office suite are time savers. And the stupid expensive bullshit proprietary software I use for my work is basically built to use hotkeys.

No opinion on Haier but I also like the design. I appreciate an architect who designs something outaide of the literal box.
