Anyone who thinks alcohol “fixes problems” is probably not a serious person. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who truly believes that.
Alcohol is, however, an inextricable part of the human experience throughout the world.

Nah, I go through the self checkout even with the one-year-old in tow, and 15-20 items.

It’s great having a separate profile for when you tell bbc iPlayer you have a tv license.

- Comment on BlueSky has drama so the Fedi-Marketers are waking from their slumber 3 weeks ago:
I was working phone support a few years back and, when I asked this one lady what her email address was, she got confused. I started running out of ways to ask such a simple question when finally, all exasperated, she said (and I shit you not): “but I don’t have e-mail, I have G-mail!”
So yeah, I get what you’re saying, people’s brains do be rotted these days, sometimes I just forget.

I’ve never understood this argument. You pick an instance you like, make an account, log in, join the comms that interest you, comment on things, make posts, etc.
This is all very normal internetty type shit that anyone who’s created an account somewhere should be able to do very easily. You don’t need to know anything about federation or how that all works. You don’t need to spin up your own self-hosted instance (but you can if you want).
Am I missing something? It’s really not rocket science here. IMHO, the “fediverse is too hard” sentiment is missing the actually difficult bit, which is getting people away from the ingrained habits formed after years of only using Facebook, Twitter, Reddit et al.

Yeah this pisses me off as well. And TVs now are much bigger and wider, too. Back in the day we’d split screen on whatever we had, which was more often than not an almost-square CRT with not much screen space to begin with!
- Comment on AOL’s dial up internet takes its last bow, marking the end of an era 3 weeks ago:
There are other legacy satellite providers like hughesnet that are somehow still hanging on. They don’t really hold a candle to starlink performance-wise, and they shit the bed in bad weather, but at least they’re not Elon. There’s going to be a lot of latency, but it’ll feel blazing fast if you’re coming from dialup.
There are other dialup providers still remaining as well, besides AOL. I know msn is still kicking at least. It’s kind of funny to think about receiving dialup service when almost all POTS lines have gone away, and much of the modern web will be borderline unusable without lots of tweaking, but at least grandma who lives out in the sticks can check her email, use chat clients, download articles and books, etc.

Oh it is, the other options didn’t have proper walls or climate control though.
- Comment on Maxwell House to rebrand as Maxwell Apartment 3 weeks ago:
There’s a lot to unpack here, but there’s a reason some people like getting coffee from a good cafe sometimes – where it’s fresh and sourced/roasted/prepared by someone who possibly gives a shit – instead of scooping questionably-sourced powder that tastes like exploitation from a giant plastic tub. And yes, we know it’s more expensive.

Same here. Split between 5 people it’s very reasonable. This is the one thing I’m actually afraid to touch when it comes to degoogling

I prefer it poached or grilled, but I’ll accept steamed

If you selected tomatoes, that is a fruit.
- Comment on I wonder if it would be possible to force the AI crawlers to mine crypto 3 weeks ago:
If it’s keeping the crawlers at bay though, couldn’t the differential represent a cost savings? This question is breaking my brain, maybe I’m not thinking about it properly.
- Comment on I've been alive for the entire narrative of the internet and it's crazy to think any of the newer generations will be able to sort it all out for themselves. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve always taken the “timeline” stuff to be a reference to multiverse theory, a metaphysical concept which suggests that the universe exists on an infinite number of parallel realities which can be split, merged and maybe even jumped between.
I’m often guilty of giving the benefit of the doubt by default though, so you may be right and those people’s brains are just cooked.

All cats are communists, obviously. They have no respect for concepts of “ownership” and expect to be housed and fed according to their needs.

Can’t really go wrong with b vitamins though… being water soluble you’ll piss out whatever your body won’t absorb, which is the reason for that wonderful neon yellow color.
