Joined a cult. Took years to leave. It was all lies.

Just flaring off. Nothing to see or hear.
- Comment on Amazon (or any online retailer) needs a "Treat 'yo self" button that one-click orders something from your wish list / saved items. 6 days ago:
A gamble between the anal cream you needed that month, and an expensive cookery set you saved for reference.
- Comment on Is it better to: [A] watch videos content on a flagship/midrange smartphone that you already have, OR [B] get a cheap tablet (say, around $200 USD) to watch videos? 6 days ago:
I like how you talk about contrast and then say the difference is day and night in the same paragraph.
- Comment on Imagine there was a society in which blue eyed people are referred to with blee/bler pronouns, and green eyed people are referred to with glee/gler pronouns... 1 week ago:
Interesting, the series sounds like it’s really worth checking out.

That sounds a bit like Aryan fantasy but I’m not jumping to conclusions.

Weird but I love it

Emojis started off yellow and never really implied any skin colour.

I totally did not understand all of that. I did try though.

Being parabolic, it looks like some significant drift current.
- Comment on The windows XP bench 4 weeks ago:
Well, it was goddamn beautiful.
- Comment on Necromancers imply the existence of Necrowomanizers. 4 weeks ago:
Apparently there was not much distinguishing ‘man’ between men and women until after 1000AD, at least from the Germanic perspective.
- Comment on Elevators might just be Teleporters in disguise 4 weeks ago:
Vertical teleporters then 🙃
- Comment on feeley feels 5 weeks ago:
Quantitatititative I always do a double check.
- Comment on We all sleep alone soundly; Maybe the key to a happy marriage is separate beds 5 weeks ago:
I also need to sleep alone. Everyone is different. My wife stirs so much that it’s better to sleep in separate beds and have ehmmm surprise night visits.
- Comment on It’s the little things 5 weeks ago:
We need xkcd to explain what would happen on a large scale if water was like this.
- Comment on It’s the little things 5 weeks ago:
Sounds like a lot less cleaning in the house as it would just evaporate in less than a minute?

Sounds like you’ve got a nice bunch, 12-13 years old can be hit and miss.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
What age group? Because young teenagers are not always going to play ball. Speaking as a teacher who has seen 5 teachers leave my school ‘for reasons’.
- Comment on In natural languages¹, the word 'and' can be used to denote the union operation. The confusion over 'and' & 'or' stems from that. 3 months ago:
If you mean ‘how confusing it is to understand logical programming using the Chinese language’ then sure. But I’m not certain why you’re wrapping up AND from the English language in this. It does not imply union and abstract grammar usage like 与 does.
- Comment on Telepathy will be real once we master brain computer interface 3 months ago:
You don’t need to be assimilated into technology to achieve telepathy.
- Comment on Simcity 3000 Retrospective/Mini Review & Screenshot Walkthrough 4 months ago:
It also had lots of fun facts to boot, including statistics about broccoli.
- Comment on Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever 4 months ago:
I’m pretty sure that Mulan was a great heroine. Also I think you were using the wrong language.
- Comment on It always seems like its time to move to linux 4 months ago:
I kind of did and it took a distro or two… But arch (EndeavourOS) is keeping me on track with all tasks I need to perform at work (one program is wine based, and office is dealt with just fine with libre - I’m a high school teacher by the way) and well … I used the command line to use ghostscript and OCR some documents. This was all right inside Linux by the way, no downloading extra packages. It worked goddamn fine.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I was really worried I’d need to use Foxit Phantom Pdf just to edit a pdf a couple of weeks ago, but libre office draw was very little hassle, with the exception of a bit of shifting of text.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I used OnlyOffice thinking ‘Hey, this is a really similar alternative to MSO!’ Then bugs with slide previews and their ordering happened in the middle of presentations and even worse, memory leaks ground my laptop to a halt.
Libre office still hasn’t crashed and the slide previews are accurate. The interface has always been a bit…unrefined even with the new tabbed layout but I can live with that.

PowerPoints suffer from lack of smart objects, and in the case of using Linux, font conversion. But it’s just that we’ve got to persevere with it. 😅
- Comment on The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 6 months ago:
Oh! Now I understand what that other commenter was talking about by ‘matching of letters to the numbers’ or something along those lines.

We getcha but that’s romaji which is a transliteration of the syllable sounds.
