I don’t even know what a vtuber retirement is. When they stop streaming?

What about those Uber and Lyft LED signs drivers put on the dash? Are those banned also?
- Comment on kya 23 hours ago:
my brother in law keeps one of these in the door pocket in his truck
Is it printed with the back of the hand on the other side? Because if that’s the front, it looks like he’s giving himself the finger.
- Comment on Microsoft is endorsing the use of personal Copilot in workplaces, frustrating IT admins 4 days ago:
Copilot is disabled by default in my company. And there’s literally a new policy/guideline about the use of AI/LLM in the workplace being released every month because of how rapid changes are happening. Not that employees aren’t allowed to use them at all, but are restricted in what they are allowed to use.
- Comment on even Crunchy roll is tired 1 week ago:
I’ve never heard of this show until I started seeing the memes. Why is it so universally hated?
- Comment on [Episode] The Summer Hikaru Died • Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu - Episode 12 discussion 1 week ago:
Oh damn I forgot the last episode is today. I’ll watch it tonight and will come back for my thoughts.
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 1 week ago:
Tofuius. Kinda hard to put together.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 1 week ago:
I think a better example to convey what you mean is rolling Rs. Like for most native english speakers, they would pronounce “Roberto” with a soft Rs, while the hispanic pronunciation would use a hard R. That said, I pronounce it depending on who I’m talking to and mirror how they say it.
- Comment on They recalled the radioactive shrimp again. Why? My research shows you can just cook off the radiation. 1 week ago:
I thought for a sec you were referencing Mr. Mantis Shrimp from Dandadan.
- Comment on We're all going home early today 2 weeks ago:
I once accidentally microwaved a fork. I didn’t notice it because it was buried under the food and I just took out the container from the fridge and put it straight into the microwave. Nothing happened but I was horrified when I saw the fork afterwards. I wonder why it didn’t even cause sparks. Was it because it was underneath the food?
Having said that, it was a shitty microwave that couldn’t really heat food well, so maybe that’s why.

Shippuden is actually what made me like Naruto. I didn’t really care much about it before and after that. I would say it’s a very good show, but I agree that a lot of people over exaggerate how great it is. That said, I would recommend you continue on at least to Shippuden, as it’s the best arc IMO.
- Comment on [Clip] Gintama explains filler 2 weeks ago:
Oh I remember this. They also had an episode where all they were talking about is what the next season should be about, with every character pitching in their suggestions.
- Comment on Rollercoaster 2 weeks ago:
The color getting very red as they arrive is so accurate, where it gets even more unbearable as your body senses the toilet is close.
- Comment on [Episode] DAN DA DAN Season 2 • Dandadan 2nd Season - Episode 12 discussion 2 weeks ago:
That battle went a little bit too long IMO, especially since they’ve been fighting since the previous episode. Good teaser ending for the next season though, better than the cliffhanger ending of S1. I didn’t enjoy all the fight scenes as much as S1, but Evil Eye’s battles with Okarun were definitely one of the best overall. I didn’t really care much about the worm and the kaiju, and Kinta is just annoying. I’m sure his character will still develop later on (or maybe not).

There’s also a documentary about it on netflix. I wasn’t aware there was a lot of legal drama behind it.

That’s also the same reaction I have when I suddenly stand up and a sharp pain on my lower back hits.

Oh that pasta when through the 9 circles of hell alright.
- Comment on AT&T tracked employee attendance to find 'freeloaders.' Now, it admits the system is driving workers to the 'brink of frustration.' 3 weeks ago:
the system doesn't just log badge swipes at the entrance or exit; the presence report uses laptop network connections and mobile device location data to infer the hours an employee was at their assigned office.
"I now understand the level of anxiety that this report has created," Kenny said. "I also now understand how the fact that it is inaccurate is driving people to the brink of frustration, and it's creating distrust."
Imagine being a C-level and just now understanding that breathing down an employee's neck their entire workday is terrible.

Somone hit me with one fact please, I want to learn something new today.
- Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week 3 weeks ago:
It’s not about having zero benefits in the office, it’s about giving people the choice to do what works for them. Some people like working in the office, then go ahead. Some people prefer to work at home, let them. The problem is companies forcing everyone to do one thing when everyone works differently.
I’m fully remote but I voluntarily go to the office once a week (as much as possible) primarily to socialize with coworkers and maybe do some in-person meetings if the timing is right. I would hate it if I was mandated to go once a week, because I prefer the flexibility.

I fully moved to piefed.zip from lemmy.zip. It’s great! Prior to .zip, I was on lemm.ee. I specifically chose .zip when .ee closed down because they have similar policies.

Only thing I can think of is a deep fried spring roll can be pretty sharp at the edges and can tear the delicate skin there.
- Comment on [Episode] DAN DA DAN Season 2 • Dandadan 2nd Season - Episode 10 discussion 4 weeks ago:
Wow that new is annoying lol. I’m sure his character will develop later on, but that first introduction did him no favors.
Also, can someone confirm - the flashbacks end in the unintentional kiss right?
- Comment on Loops - short form video with ActivityPub - is now open source! 4 weeks ago:
Good to know it’s still moving forward. I thought the project died because I’ve never really heard anything since the initial promotion of it a couple of months back.
- Comment on Nexar Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In 4 weeks ago:
Welp, I was planning to buy a Nexar dual-cam (front and cabin-facing). I didn't know their cameras could transmit data and aren't local only. Time to look for another option.
- Comment on It's efficient. 4 weeks ago:
I need to figure out how to mix in lactase drops into a dense dessert like a blizzard, because mixing the entire contents of the cup makes it soft faster.
- Comment on Let us celebrate our mutual experience of close proximity by touching our multi-fingered appendages to one another's - Person who invented the handshake, probably. 4 weeks ago:
One silver lining from the pandemic was that fist bumps became more common in lieu of handshakes. Some people's hands can be filthy.
- Comment on "Wait, was that shampoo? Yeah.. Welp, I guess we're washing our body with shampoo today." 4 weeks ago:
Also to add: Even shampoo can dry your hair out because it still strips the oil from your hair/scalp to clean it. Conditioner will help replenish it.
