  I hate them. They are more eshay than human eshays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess I'm on the right track 😌⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just had .ml blocked for a long time and life’s been good. I would prefer defederation. If put democratically, I’m sure that’s what would be voted for as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pull to enter, you say?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, I sometimes miss these because I’m tall and they’re so low, by the time I’m at the door, I don’t see anything obvious. I have to bend my head down to notice there’s writing on a button that otherwise looks like the top of a fob scanner or something.

  Those big chunky buttons that push like emergency stop buttons but are green, they’re helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I feel like there’s rarely a “calm down” window for the men that need to hear it. There’s calm, then there’s hurting themselves by breaking things or hurting other people. “You need to calm the fuck down!” is likely to work, whereas “You need to calm down” will only make things work.

  Insecurities fuelled by testosterone. Where fisty cuffing anything appears to be a positive step toward sound resolution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s 15 very big reasons that say it was certainly not self-defence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel attacked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cycling, an instrument, home brewing, a golden retriver…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That their second knees. Hips are further up.

  If that photo is from the actual test, Cheesus Sliced…

  There’s so little going on for video to pick up on apart from overcoming folage texture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK you can permanently hide entire domains from your search results with DuckDuckGo/Google/other engines through this user script⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was native. Click the three dots next to a result. I don’t have an extensions for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're deep into the baggy era mate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Aye, but in colder temperatures tight denim cools over leaving no air pocket to trap body heat or improve wind resistance. There’s no one on this planet that can generate body heat on such a level it can counters the atmosphere, so creating a little atmosphere inside the denim with loose jeans is the next best thing. It’s the same concept as single vs double glazed windows.

  If you want tight pants in cold climate, need to use high textured material likecorduroy or fleece, otherwise add a thermal base layer under the denim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're deep into the baggy era mate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always rocked regular or baggy. It’s a comfort and practicality thing. Having skinny jeans takes away the point of denim being durable and warm, something it needs to be loose for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*play imagine being sung by random white celeb*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good for you, but you were better off staying quiet with that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recycling ♻️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. So this is what they train LLMs on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always this unless you can think of a time you specifically damaged the port. And you’ll be surprised how much shit comes out with the tip of a plastic toothpick; how it was somehow actually managing to still charge in the first place lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of the Half-Life Expansions are your favorite?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably Blue Shift. I think it goes better to play before startingHL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 for me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3, 17, 20. Depends on the season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  50% of the post here are. Echo chambers rely on most users never reading the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans still actively use telephony services?

  I just don’t use the Phone and SMS apps. Haven’t for years. It’s old tech that’s only used by bits and scammers.

  Get with the times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks like i'll have to start hating everyone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Give me back my child!”

  “Non.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know if I pronounce it right. Is it like libré or is it more like a lobster-tiger hybrid? Or a Lemur-cobra.hybtid?

  Also, if they’re watching, the themes still make the UI all funky unless it’s on the default—at least for Calc, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they unloaded the goods to another truck really fucking fast, maybe. Otherwise they’re just being recorded on top of a giant GPS beacon that’s alerting a system that something abnormal is happening so rally nearby law enforcement. It’d way easier to hold up a bookies, with a shotgun, Saul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  JD Vance prefers rounded couches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come, child, I have the best vintage of eggo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oooooooh…

  And now I’m even more confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should police have the power to arrest demosnag dealers who don't accept EFTPOS?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I supported my local instead. 50 mins of lining up to the booths, I wasn’t gonna line up any longer for a snag made by child labour, so got a delicious sausage roll from the bakery instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murderer of Palestinian-American boy sentenced to 53 years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to see America’s stance on tolerating hate crimes toward Palest- oh, wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever I get a sofa, I just make sure the arm rests are squared and put a coaster on that. It’s like having a little shelf for everything. People that gets rounded arm rests are fools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 9th planet in our solar system might be found — and no, it’s not Pluto⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His calculations suggested the body would be on a much greater tilt than the solar system’s plane and would orbit in a different direction from the known planets.

  So almost certainly not a planet. But it sounds like it’s something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come, child, I have the best vintage of eggo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t believe eggs come in that size, are.for regular customers, and there’s plenty missing. My household couldn’t get through a quarter of that before they went off. You’d want to be freezing them—which makes for shit egg cooking later—or just really fuckin’ love eggs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t really imagine people wanting to hijack a truck that’s basically a giant camera and tracking sysystem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is a photo of irony.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assumed a person crashed into the school while starting a lesson. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the lesson made them worse. This is more that It’s like rai-e-aaaain!
