• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How does a desk stop working? Did it just fall to pieces?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the spellchecker in Firefox so abysmal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the greatest weakness of Firefox IMO

  Wild, I don’t think I’ve ever paid the slightest attention to my browser’s spell checker. I didn’t even realize that it could autocorrect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A fair punishment for the obscene hoarding of wealth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta cap him on the hours every few weeks too. Don’t want him hitting full-time status.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just looked up VirtuaGirl, and apparently it’s still a thing. Looks like someone even had it running through wine several years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just realized some people LIKE talking to each other.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doubt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t mean he can fight. Sure, he could hold his own against someone like me (also no fight training or experience plus not at all fit) but I wouldn’t want him as a bodyguard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get the Borderlands series in the new Gear Up For Borderlands 4 Humble Bundle⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never played any of them, so I’d want to start with the first one. That being said, if I do play them it would likely be years before I got around to the 4th one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When does Trump finally start taking accountability?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He literally said “I think the good parts are the Trump economy, and the bad parts are the Biden economy.” Even the interviewer said nothing about it. If he ever sees accountability, it’ll be after a lot more suffering on our part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should be novelty toothpicks shaped like little dicks. The would be called "dick picks".⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Last year I started sending a friend Valentine’s day Dick pics. That one was Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy. This year was Dick York.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are those not enough?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can all the milk replacements bubble if you blow thru a straw in it like a child?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who loves milk and hates coconut, that seems impossible. You do you, but I’ll stick with the real stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can all the milk replacements bubble if you blow thru a straw in it like a child?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like milk there’s no such thing as a replacement. Only milk tastes like milk. The other things that have milk in the name taste like whatever they’re made from (not milk).

  That being said, pretty much any liquid should work, though the bubbles may not last. Also for something like mercury you may need an air compressor and a much more durable “straw”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even the companies behind paid distros tend to release free versions. What they’re really charging for is support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Related question: If someone wanted to see what all the hype behind the series is about, which game should they play first?

  I typically like to start at the beginning, but the first Zelda game (I think for NES) couldn’t hold my interest for 2 seconds or my attention for 2 minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My head is full of memories of a person who isn't me, only someone who will become me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Every event is inevitable. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never watched him, but isn’t he just a Twitch streamer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all don’t disable read receipts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s zero chance he leaves willingly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be the same mindset my ex had.

  “Can I wear your Axe?”

  “no…why would you want to?”

  “I like how it smells.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So bags of popcorn should be avoided like the plague, unfortunately.

  Unfortunately? Popcorn is the least flavorful thing in existence. Just find some other bland edible material and put your toppings on that instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden cost of self-hosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’ve even used bookmarks since Vista.

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

  I don’t know the correct answer, but I think some would be a good start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Be the change you wish to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they meant to just avoid using pronouns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, but for those of us in the US I wouldn’t count on them having to comply with any regulations, safety or otherwise for much longer. The deportation planes will almost certainly have no seats because the cruelty is (part of) the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm trapped in this fleshy cage of my emotions.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, there’s more than Cunk on Earth? Damn, I’d love to watch them some time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is currently the top comment. I’ll learn from your mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person know markdown?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another millenial here. I’ve known about markdown forever, but I also LIVED online as a teenager.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the past 20 years, has anyone learned anything watching The Learning Channel (TLC)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It definitely used to be The Learning Channel just as KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How does Discord even enter one’s mind as an alternative to Reddit?

  Also, they have no idea how to use it? Bullshit. If they can use Reddit, they can use Lemmy.
