- Comment on What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance? 8 months ago:
Gift certificate. That’s something that can NEVER be mistaken for romance.
- Comment on HP TV ads claim its printers are 'made to be less hated' 11 months ago:
The HP logo is all it takes to make printers hated at this point. Couldnt give me one even if it included 10yrs of ink.
- Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like. 1 year ago:
Because there arent enough people to fill delivery jobs? Or is it that they’d want living wages and health insurance?
- Comment on YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads. 1 year ago:
Seems like this could be turned around if enough people would just consciously refuse to patronize anything they saw advertised on youtube.
- Comment on What android phones do you recommend and why? 1 year ago:
What support do you need? Sounds like it does everything you want it to do. I dont know about that one, but for a lot of devices, “updates” are often just loading in new advertising features.
- Comment on Netflix may hike prices after success of password-sharing crackdown 1 year ago:
I’m ready to cancel. Their programming has been getting worse over time anyway.
- Comment on What is the Israel thing going on? 1 year ago:
It’s not as complicated as portrayed. Everyone has some kind of point. But the people controlling the attacks are pretty much assholes, and the citizens getting killed are innocent victims
- Comment on New Study: 54% of American Adults Read Below 6th Grade-Levels 1 year ago:
Anyone have the stats on what percentage voted Trump or didnt vote at all?
- Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet 1 year ago:
Would be great to have that on Lemmy Sync app, too! After browsing a while, a large proportion of posts start being in languages I dont understand.
- Comment on What does cigarette smoking do for people? 1 year ago:
Former heavy smoker here, quit two decades ago. It creates a strong craving, which briefly supplies pleasure when you appease it. It provides (or at least used to) social connection with other smokers, particularly at “smoking breaks”.
And it gives you something recognizable to do while waiting for something. Rather than sitting there, staring out with a stupid look on your face, you instead sit there smoking a cigarette.
It’s an incredibly difficult addiction to break, it’s expensive, and these days identifies you as either very old or more or less a loser. Avoid, avoid.
