- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 2 days ago:
I shave my head in the shower every couple of days. Trim my beard once a week.
- Comment on what can I do at my workplace during downtime? 3 days ago:
I have a Kindle and love it, but if you don’t want to go with Amazon, I think Kobos are a solid option! The current best models are the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour, but they both have cheaper models as well.
- Comment on what can I do at my workplace during downtime? 4 days ago:
I can’t recommend getting an e-reader more. It’s so much nicer than staring at a backlit screen for extended periods of time.
- Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week 1 week ago:
We’ve looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered, and they deliver stronger results.
Would be interested in seeing that data.
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 1 week ago:
As someone in this camp, this is very accurate. I’m simply very selective about the amount of fucks I give at work, and save them for my personal life. It makes me a better worker on top of having better work/life balance.
- Comment on Always so loud 😒 1 week ago:
I’ll never be a dad, but I definitely inherited my dad’s sneeze.
- Comment on Well, shit. 1 week ago:
If you have the ability to do this on your first day, it’s 100% not your fault.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I thought I was 37 before the gal I’m seeing learned my bday and told me I’m 38. Then I turned 39 a couple of months later, so I aged 3 years in a few months. It’s just a number, and gray facial hair looks great.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 weeks ago:
Why even ask if you’re just going to deflect opinions you don’t like?
Hope you get some help, dude.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 weeks ago:
Your personality is the problem, not the fact that you’re on the spectrum. I know plenty of autistic people who are very pleasant to be around, even those who are heavily introverted. If you put negative energy out towards people, they’re going to give it back to you.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 weeks ago:
They don’t see introversion and solitude as self caring, but as depression, being an ass and being antisocial.
As an introverted person, I really don’t think this is true. I’m very open about being introverted and needing to leave when I need my battery is depleted or turning things down when I need solo time, and I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced a negative or rude reaction from it. You already sound pretty misanthropic; I’d wager the people you’re having negative interactions with are picking up on that rather than your introversion.
- Comment on Did a teenager actually just die from eating raw noodles? 3 weeks ago:
Given the only sources I see for this story are the Daily Mail and The Sun, I wouldn’t put too much stock into it quite yet.

Great costume of the first episode of Black Mirror.
- Comment on AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents 1 month ago:
Conserve your A/C usage this summer, though.
- Comment on Old Man Guide to Grooming 1 month ago:
I was going to say, if we’re talking old man we’ll need to flip the green circles.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 2 months ago:
I literally never watch shorts. I’ve selected the option to show less shorts on my computer, I select the not interested option on each individual video on my TV when the row of them shows up, and they still constantly come back.
- Comment on Does the "White Power Ranger" seem like an odd title? 2 months ago:
Northwest US, same.
- Comment on What is your age range for dating? 🤔 😮 2 months ago:
I’m 38 and can’t imagine dating a 26 year old. The woman I’m currently seeing is my same age and it’s great.
- Comment on What??? 3 months ago:
Everything reminds me of her.
- Comment on I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com 3 months ago:
Yeah, the Firefox extension I linked works the same way. I was just thinking out loud about the other alternatives and whether that approach would be feasible, but you’re right it does have the connection requirement.
- Comment on I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com 3 months ago:
I always forget the Kindle has a basic web browser. In lieu of a sync service/native apps, I wonder if any of these alternatives would work decently enough in the Kindle web browser with Article Mode.
- Comment on Nothing to see here 3 months ago:
No, it’s a red herring.

What is the charge? Eating a meal?

Seriously just swap the genders here. This is insane.

- Comment on zoomers are the new blooners 4 months ago:
You’re not wrong. Nobody has ever responded to a music recommendation with “what’s their website” before.
- Comment on You'll know Lemmy has really caught on when searching for "Lemmy" returns more results for the forum than for the Motorhead guy. 5 months ago:
Who’d win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?
- Comment on Best ad blocker for ios browser Safari? What would you suggest? 6 months ago:
Thanks, I use them and didn’t know this was a feature. My favorite iOS cribbage app doesn’t offer a paid tier to remove the ads, and this took care of it.
