- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 1 week ago:
In the context of someone really asking, and not just joking around, yes you should be honest. Sounds like you’ll be on the path to showing them so don’t lie.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
For me it’s everywhere. I still come to these things out of habit or because i don’t have energy for a regular hobby, but it’s getting draining. All of social media just brings me back to politics, even if funny memes are in between. I also have a habit of reading comments, and then some dingus brings the one non political thing back down to politics anyway.

nasty little grease machines
You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?
are processed garbage
Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.

Taquitos also take 8 minutes in my air fryer at 380°F.

Even that little blur effect people use to get rid of watermarks, sure it’s sora but it could as easily just be a tiktok username, which people remove all the time. So the people who want to believe it, will.

Can we stop finding ways to do this?
- Comment on Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds? 3 weeks ago:
I am judging a book by it’s cover here, but they said they’re not tech savvy, and asked the question in the post, so my assumption is that they themselves do not own one.
- Comment on Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but a while back they capped your monthly hours for the paid tiers to 100 (i think you pay to keep streaming after). I was easily averaging 3 hours a day as a kid, especially with weekends and summer vacations.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 5 weeks ago:
On one hand, could be a “crash”. On the other hand, tons of websites break when they get a little extra traffic.
Side tangent, seems odd to me this is still a thing. Most company websites aren’t hosted on premises, so do these services like (i assume) AWS not scale for when there’s traffic? Squarespace has been advertising for years that it will scale up if there’s extra traffic. I’ve never tested it but still.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 1 month ago:
What would you call someone with the beliefs that they’ve mentioned then? I agree, I don’t know of a current “conservative” political group/party that follows that idea anymore but what word better explains how they actually want things?

The gist of it is thicker skin, stronger immune system presence down there, higher blood flow down there.

They’re probably just overall frustrated with the country. Somehow though “stupid politics” means go ahead and insult and generalize the people for random and inaccurate things like not using a bidet.
- Comment on How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing? 1 month ago:
Why did you start working on these other projects? For fun? To learn? Are they still fulfilling that purpose if you’re burnt out? If not, what are you losing out on by not working on them? If it was for fun, then that’s over for now, go do something else for fun.

Thank you.
By the way, people are able to remove that blur in photos nowadays fairly accurately. I would just cover it with plain white or black in the future.

Nah, just cranky about it.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 1 month ago:
I’m taking steps, slowly, as well. I’m getting off windows very soon, I’m working on getting off of various services these companies run one at a time. Depending on what really happens with Android and Google we’ll see.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 1 month ago:
I’m bothered that big companies, especially tech right now, no longer see their customers as people they need to please to stay in business, but instead as something they’ll inconvenience and squeeze as much as they can possibly get away with.
They all got to where they are making, at one point, amazing products. Now? Fuck making windows useful, we can throw ads and AI at you every place we can think of. Fuck all of the parts of Android that made it stand out, we tell you what to install. You don’t want all of your data scraped and sold? Fuck you, there’s 3 of us and we’re all doing it. In fact we’ll never stop finding new ways to harvest data.
Phones have basically stagnated entirely in the US. Sure you get moderately better chipsets, but what else? AI? I haven’t had a phone struggle with anything in… maybe 10 years. Instead features that people didn’t use enough just get removed.

I’m sure the number of actual small children that use YouTube is quite high as well, but data would be skewed since they aren’t supposed to be on there. The views of channels that cater to them are on another level.

My accounts currently from 2011. I’ve used it a bit longer, that would’ve been around 18 for me and I’ve been using it since at least 14/15. I started with Google video I think.

These idiots take their single w2 to the H&R table at Walmart and give them a third of their return. It doesn’t affect them.

 - Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 1 month ago:
Millions used to.
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 1 month ago:
I actually started on imgur before I used reddit at all. I used to browse “i am bored” as a kid/teen. Eventually I thought, man I really only want the funny images, is there something that’s just that? That’s when I found imgur and I was hooked. “Sarah please” and all that.
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 1 month ago:
When I first got to Lemmy i always thought a fediverse imgur would be neat. As the other comment said, imgur has been going down this path for a while, so i ended up leaving quite a while ago and never pursued the idea. Plus I’m not really knowledgeable enough to do it myself.
