- Comment on Clean butt 5 days ago:
I’ve had this for a year and no issues. Takes 5 mins to install and anyone can do it. $35 after tax. I think I got it for 27 or something last year. If you don’t like it after a while, your not out much. But Ive saved more than $35 in toilet paper since I’ve got it
- Comment on Clean butt 5 days ago:
Even the cheap ones have a self clean setting. It just sprays water down the nozzle, and is between on and off. Turn it to that for a second and then off. Never had an issue. When I clean the toilet I use the same brush to glance over it, but really it stays clean on its own
- Comment on Clean butt 5 days ago:
Low water pressure maybe? Mines a real cheap one and I’ve never had issues with not being clean after. I do usually get stronger toilet paper, but I only use a roll or two a month. I wouldn’t say it’s life changing, but I do prefer it. Also has saved me a lot on tp
- Comment on Or more 6 days ago:
About 10 years ago I was in bars to frequently. I hung out at the same place with the same people for 4 years. Woman came into my life and started going up there with me sometimes, when she asked me their names I didn’t know half of their first names even. Some go by their middle name, last name or just a nick name. There was never a reason to know anyone’s name. This next comment I’m sure some will hate, but I find most people who need to know people’s names are the ones who talk about people when they aren’t around. We can talk about movies, music, pool, darts, sports, hiking, canoeing or any other hobbies and never need to know the peoples names. Never need to exchange phone numbers, social media or anything. I would go to relax and socialize, not to tie myself to more obligations.
- Comment on US classifies South Korea as ‘sensitive country,’ limiting cooperation on advanced tech. 2 weeks ago:
That and if you remember he’s been on calls with Putin for the last few weeks. Putin hired North Koreans to help invade Ukraine. NK and Russia were worried South Korea might assist in defending Ukraine. So naturally. Trump has to start scrutinizing Korea more
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 weeks ago:
It was all covered in my Florida education. For the most part it is just a very small amount of information that people tend to forget it. It also isn’t all taught in one class. (T4 slips are called W2 forms in the U.S. for those questioning). The investing thing is a broad generalization though. I assume because it may get considered an overlap of teaching kids to gamble. Everyone was required to take either micro or macro economics in high school though for us, both of which touched on stock market invement mostly just tied to the idea of a 401k (retirement accounts).
Nutritional labels were covered in science classes multiple times, but we’re touched on in middle school science, and we were all required to take a home ec class for half a year in 7th grade which taught about it as well. Again in physics and chemistry classes.
W2s were covered in our mandatory typing class as a form of data entry, because most people only take the data from boxes off the W2 and enter them into a tax program. Then the tax brackets were taught to us in middle and highschool.
A lot of it to me is that we don’t pay attention in school and forget a lot over time. Nutritional and Tax bracket questions were on both the ACT and SAT. Which are national tests required to get into colleges. A bunch of kids do drop out of high school though?
- Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? 3 weeks ago:
I installed a Linux server on an old laptop, then installed Jellyfin. It’s like a Walmart special from 8 years ago, so no graphics card outside of the integrated graphics. Doesn’t matter. I disabled sleep, and power saving settings on the Wi-Fi. I had a USB external 1tb drive hooked to it. The laptop doesn’t even have support for a 5ghz wifi connection. No issues at all. I can run 2 movies at 1080p in different rooms off the external USB drive without issue. Just go for it. I installed RustDesk on it so wherever I am I can remote to it, turn on the VPN and kick off a torrent for whatever movie someone mentioned while at work or what not. Then when I get home it’s there.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 3 weeks ago:
A good example is the post on here about tax brackets. Far more Republicans didn’t know how tax brackets worked than Democrats. But every mainstream language model would have gotten the answer right.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 4 weeks ago:
The joke of the post was the government paying you 5,000,000 for your U.S. citizenship. So you’d have over 4 million U.S. dollars left after doing such a trade. I forget the conversion right now.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 4 weeks ago:
With $5 million dollars I assume I’d be able to get a visa and then citizenship almost anywhere. Can’t find a job within 90 days? Damn, maybe just start a business. What do you do? For me I’d go IT consultant company, and put my annual pay as the minimum wage required to maintain a citizenship. I could buy an office, a house, pay myself $50,000 a year for 20 years and still have 3 million left likely. Not to mention if you actually make any money. Could be anything really. Marketing, bakery, street food vendor. I’m sure you can make it work with 5m.
You can stick the 3 million in a 5% interest savings and make $150,000 a year to live off of. Living off 200k a year and never touching your principle I would hopefully be able to make work in most of the world.

You’d love my jrop jop. Obviously sarcasm but I couldn’t figure out in my head how you’d say crop top with a J so I wanted to pass that pain on

It’s a good example of how to explain Intelligence vs Wisdom in RPG’s. An intelligent person knows how to find the correct answer. A wise person knows how to avoid debating opinions with their spouse.

- Comment on Israeli speaker of parliament calls for bombing food stocks in Gaza now that Israel has cut off their food and water. 5 weeks ago:
They know it is a genocide, they don’t care because they fell for the lies that all Palestinians are Hamas. They don’t call it a genocide because it would make them feel in the wrong, but they believe it is justified to kill every Hamas person. Even if that means they are an Israeli person in Florida who clearly was never part of Hamas, but they thought might look like a Palestinian.

When I lived in Panama City Beach a lot of people called it The Emerald Coast. I’m not the best with colors but if someone asked me the difference between Jade and Emerald I wouldn’t know
- Comment on 25 arrested in global hit against AI-generated child sexual abuse material 5 weeks ago:
It’s strange to me that it is referred to as CSAM. No people are involved so no one is a being sexually assaulted. It’s creepy but calling it that implies a drawing is a person to me.
- Comment on Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader 5 weeks ago:
He’s doing so financially well that his wife who thinks he’s a hobbit still picks out his pants?
- Comment on Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader 5 weeks ago:
Is screwing over the working class very smart? It’ll end with his kids being fatherless. I’d call it dumb
- Comment on Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader 5 weeks ago:
I heard this multiple times from conservative radio/television. The guy is an absolute embarrassment and security risk to the world. Vance has actually proven to somehow be even dumber than the average doornail as well. He heard Zelensky say something of substance and immediately thought to himself, Trump can’t respond to this without fucking it up, let me cut him off and just declare him offensive for accepting our invite to discuss what needs to happen.
- Comment on That explains a lot 5 weeks ago:
I keep hearing commericals for them advertising to kill clover. Always annoys me. If clover grows in your yard, your yard likely needs the nutrients (nitrogen likely). Also, it helps bee populations, which helps well… Life.
Clover was never a weed until weed killer came around out and killed it with everything else in the grass. So they started an ad campaign that told people it was a weed and convinced people that white flowers in your yard look bad.
So now everytime I hear an advertisement that mentions killing clover I remind myself not to buy products by the brand who says it. Also, clover honey is delicious.

- Comment on DOGE Reportedly Cuts FDA Employees Investigating Neuralink 1 month ago:
I feel like in 1820 you were running around blaming crops dying in the Democrats. These people will exist in the future! And if they don’t stop everything before them and after them from happening, it’s their fault! The fall of the Qing Dynasty, Dems fault. Dinosaur extinction… never happened, the Dems made it up because they are still around us. You just can’t see most of them because the Democrats!
We get it, the DNC is shit.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 1 month ago:
Well we heard what the Whitehouse press secretary has to say about the fraud they found 2 days ago. They found massive amounts and she brought receipts! All of them were examples of money being spent that disagree with Trump’s new policies. Like money spent on DEI intuitives and aid sent to countries in Africa to help slow the spread of HIV. The receipt was for a laughable $57,000.
Then when asked how any of it was fraud she said, well they consider that fraud because it wasn’t used to help Americans.
So the 27 year old married to a billionaire 32 years older than her is complaining that the money wasnt directly spent on her gold digging ass, and if it’s not spent directly on her, it’s fraud.
Biggest disgrace of a government that has ever existed.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 1 month ago:
Jerboa has always been great to me. Android. It uses old reddit style and reminds me of Baconreader
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
Really it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t effect you. I use Jerboa and I’m sure most other apps work the same, you can switch between logins within the app. So if you want to join another instance, say dbzer0, which focuses around Piracy and Anarchy, you create a login from their page then sign in in your app. Switching between accounts is fluid and then if an instance you use does something to piss you off, you can slowly stop using it.
I like to think of it like a playground. We want everything spread out a bit and not all on one instance. So if the owners of that instance start to do things users don’t like, you can just replace the softball field, and keep the slides, swings, soccer fields, walking track etc. Each one of those I would be considering your main subs you are interested in. So if someone ties ads or starts being foul on that softball field, we walk away from the pitch, and onto another softball field and you keep your logins if you weren’t based on that softball field. Everything else stays good.

I liked old reddit, and Baconreader, so for me Jerboa was great
