Yea, but you could achieve this by placing a circle of cardboard in the middle or a ring that you attach to your lens.
I don’t remember the guy but YT shorts I’ve seen a guy testing all sorts of different shapes and filters in front of his lenses or even just in front of his sensor without a lens.
Can’t recall who.
Anyhow

hold onto a thought longer than I.
If you were speaking about someone else, would you use “he/she” or “him/her” in this context?
Because if it’s the former, then you use “I” to replace it, and if it’s the latter, you use “me”.
other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than she.
Doesn’t sound right.

Sounds better.

- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 1 day ago:
But armies wouldn’t be made of rich people.
Also also, it’s either diabetes or the HFCS, but Americans have a very distinct, plump look all around. Whereas here it’s often just a huge belly people have and maybe an extra chin or something.
But not all all around Michelin man.
My dad worked at a theme parn in Finland, driving the guests around in a sort of road-train. And he wasn’t a small man by no means, every gluttonous and always thirsty. Died at 70 that’s how healthy he was.
Anyways, he was shocked and told me that he’d never seen “people shaped like that”.
No offense.
Well some probably.

I prefer like a bent triangle, then you grab it by the tip and then put as much salsa on it as possible. The chip to salsa ratio is off the charts.
Although these rounds ones have a bit more chip to salsa, their structural integrity is better and didn’t break as triangles often do.

It’s not weird at all.
A perfectly natural consequence of laissez-faire capitalism leading what should and shouldn’t be regulated.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert
I find it incredibly weird to imagine that some people think it normal that you can’t walk to a grocery store with fresh vegetables etc.
Never had Doritos or Funyons or Twinkies in my life. I tried Oreos once, but I’m more used to the equivalent we have here (copied and slightly altered by some decades and decades ago.)
I don’t think there’s anything I prefer as the American version. Perhaps like if you use the word to encompass all American countries, maybe, ~authentic Mexican is pretty nice and usually gluten free.
It’s a lot about food deserts and infra and regulation, but also using HFCS instead of some other sugars does have an effect.
Even though we got very gluttonous people as well, somehow ours aren’t just ever as Michelin Man shaped. It’s more like a huuuuge belly with skinny legs and arms and head. Well some diabetic people do tend to swell up quite a bit but…

- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 1 day ago:
I served in a military in Finland in peacetime. That’s basically what we use instead of a national guard.
There was no crisis when our company was on-call, but at least one or two companies stated every weekend to make sure there’s enough people to rapidly deploy assistance anywhere.
My older brother had to go and help a city out. But yeah, it’s basically just assisting people in crisises.
Unless Putler decides he wants to give it a go, but I strongly doubt it.

Holy fuck Americans, honestly.
Your obesity issue is out of hand.
So is your fascism, but geowd dawm those are some chunky soldiers.
When I was in the army these boys would’ve prolly not been able to keep up and would’ve been sent home to eat Ozempic and diet for a year or two before returning to the brigade.
Hell, I’m a supply NCO, trained as a quartermaster as well and I don’t think we’d have sizes big enough, lol.

Yes. And I’m also the one who jokingly claimed to not understand the very basic English and blender terms around your username.
I believe my generation is considered somewhat technologically literate, see. As is Lemmy. I, however, half-jokingly implied I am not.
How do you have the patience and time for that?
I enjoy writing and it really doesn’t take that long to hit a quick reply on your phone. A large majority of my comments is just very shitty attempts at jokes, but got to work on the material somewhere and there’s not really venues around here.

Good job, dear you really put me in my place about being older than me. I definitely wasn’t being condescending, because I find the idea of even older generations, still comparing ages a bit funny. Great job!

But sausage is minced food stuffed into bowels. Literally the same the same thing as shit. Not literally the same. But literally so superfluously similar that their descriptions overlap quite a bit.

Well the more correct term is increased or decreased intestinal permeability. Which very much is a thing.
But yeah you’re not completely wrong to be skeptic about the so called “leaky gut syndrome”, but that’s why you have to remember what syndrome means; just a collection or symptoms. People could have a collection of symptoms from different sources which still amount to the same syndrome. (Usually not though, but technically.)
Is the Gulf War - syndrome “woo bullshit” or real? Because if we apply the same standard as I presume you’re applying to the leaky gut syndrome, I presume you’d say it’s BS as well. Yet I bet there’s quite a lot of nasty vets who you wouldn’t dare to say that to their faces.
So just to reiterate; leaky gut syndrome, highly dubious en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_gut_syndrome
But increased intestinal permeability, also known as “leaky gut”: very much real but distinct from the other one en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_permeability#C…

I’m with this guy.
Because like it or not, TV sets an example.
Sometimes it can be used for positive things as well.
Developed in Scandinavia over decades starting in the 1920’s, the concept of a designated driver was imported to the United States on a large scale in 1988 through the Harvard Alcohol Project,[2] an initiative by the Harvard School of Public Health’s Center for Health Communication, led by Jay Winsten. With heavy involvement by television networks and Hollywood studios, the campaign popularized the concept through public service announcements, as well as the encouragement of drunk driving prevention messages and designated driver references in popular television programs,[2] such as Cheers, L.A. Law, and The Cosby Show. The U.S. Department of Transportation used public affairs commercials with the phrase “friends don’t let friends drive drunk”.

Like those super unknown shows like “Friends” and “How I Met Your Mother”, “The Big Bang Theory”, etc?

Ironically, not a requirement.
If you’re purely empirical/empiricist, you need at least one person to walk into a pole to prove it’s there.
If you’re a rationalist, you could rationalise where the poles are.
If you use both, you’re likely to hit yourself less than when utilising only one or the other.

What is sad is people like you who can’t back up the things they say, and don’t even try to.
- Comment on Public toilets in China demand ad views for loo roll 1 week ago:
Holy shit you can’t be that childish.
Okay, let’s go with “socialist” then because you’re so childish that your pretending like the form of socialism China is known to claim to be isn’t communism.
If you have to pretend to be that stupid, then perhaps you’re not in a good position, argument-wise.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 1 week ago:
I haven’t played anything this year.
Well aside from like the sort of mobile games that ads sometimes have before you can close them.
I’m not sure if it’s depression or a lack of a good GPU. Still running my 1060.
- Comment on Public toilets in China demand ad views for loo roll 1 week ago:
everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant
No they don’t.
You’re not the only one with functioning eyes.
I don’t even remember seeing a person actually arguing China is in any way communist. Just like people don’t argue that NK is a democracy despite them calling themselves one.
