  this reminds me. in the early 90s summers we all wore those tight bike shorts, a loose tshirt and optionally sunglasses and a hip bag. no matter what gender. virtually everyone. worldwide. i went to other countries; the other side of the world to visit remote family; they all had multiple sets they wore. it was cheap and colorful. it felt like the future

  that headline is so stupid. everyone who has found a sea urchin skeleton on the beach knows this is way too oversimplified.

  creepy af. first thing i’d do as an employee is make an account with another bank and set up monthly transfer, so the contract is fulfilled, but all they can see are those big transfers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that sounds exhausting

  Would be useful in the US too IMO

  nobody tell op that language evolves, this happens all the time and there will eventually just be a new word for the old thing 🤭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There will definitely be ppl offended by “death to Russians” and I find it highly questionable, because there are a few hundred good russians who haven’t been killed in the gulags so far and they do not deserve being slaughtered with the rest.

  oh wow, what a blunder. don’t they like double check? you know, like four-eyes dual control principle, like we do at work for everything important?

  one is before the dry summer and one after. you need to do same month

  maybe works with pam_usb . it works with most removable media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I thought I was growing up in a racially tolerant Britain. I now realise I was wrong⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s still progress, if something forces the racists into hiding, but it should stay that way. If they come creeping out of their holes again, it sucks big time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The black Snape controversy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  btw. did the books even say anything about snapes skin color? if not, there were likely plenty of people picturing him black, since they live in countries where by far most people are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The black Snape controversy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, that’s stupid. what if harry and snape were black? would those peoples heads explode 😆

  those people are maybe trying to confuse others about racism, so they can be openly racist.

  it would only be racism, if the root of the suspicion lies in racism. the suspicion would be a symptom of the racism.

  but the root of the suspicion was snapes harshness, mystique and weirdness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I went to the UK last week. Nothing about my trip was legal.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, arriving illegally with boats in a port is surprisingly easy almost everywhere. I suspect it’s because the rich people would get annoyed on their yachts when the procedures are too strict.

  Same with private jets/planes. If you charter your own plane, you usually board/exit through a smaller, less strict terminal. AFAIK it’s unlikely someone even checks your luggage or pats you down. They’ll likely just check passports.

  It can’t even work through the fabric. Fails at an early stage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wakey Wakey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It won’t even work through the fabric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmm which one I guess?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  app store search is often super bad. it ignores words etc, because they make more money by people not finding what they want and falling back to installing a few promoted apps with extra ads and tracking instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is with games that are completely different from what is advertised?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  those are for little kids with tge attention span of a squirrel and old people with alzheimers who forgot what the ad was about right after they clicked it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always wanted to do this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s usually an age thing. The teach is to some degree responsible for keeping the kids out of harms way during the lesson. They need to roughly know where they are until they are considered old enough.

  just post the important part of the prompt instead of it’s output. nobody wants to read 90% filler

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Single Serve Pudding Cups And Yogurts Are Too Fucking Small.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my region we can buy 500g cups in supermarkets.

  … but pudding is very easy to make and the recipes are usually for litres. It’s an interesting experience to scratch the vanilla from the pods it grew in and vary the amount of starch to get a different consistency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure some people enjoy being sexist/racist and some even get off of watching people being sexist/racist. However, there are people in both groups who also understand it’s a problem and stand against it, except with consent in private.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree. New smartphones may have a few bettee specs, but are overall worse than older models.

  For example, they are getting bigger and bigger and can’t be operated one handed any more, even with Androids one-handed mode, because the zoom makes everything tiny.

  Newer phones become hotter, batteries more likely to turn into spicy pillows.

  More bloatware preinstalled, like AI stuff or “AR Emoji” etc.

  The camera notches are growing too, even though most people would be fine with notchless cameras.

  They are getting heavier and thicker too. In 2015 we had 5.1mm 98g phones. Not even a notch. It all went downhill from there.

  And don’t even get me started on the prices.
