Maybe if the photo “matters” but generally no.

Bonus that iOS detects that and tells you to wipe your lens if you’re trying to take a photo with a filthy phone.

Cracking my knuckles.

Still waiting on that arthritis I was promised.

I did this too. Amazing how you still end up arriving at almost the same time as when you drove like a maniac hey?

I was at a big work conference. Whole company got flown in. On the last night, they rented out a massive night club for a raging party. I said I had another thing to go to, and people thought I had some craaaaazy alternative party to go to.

I went to my hotel and read in bed for 5 hours. It was fucking glorious.

There’s sort of a racist undertone to that kind of question that can put people on guard. I think you just need to be cognizant of that when you frame a question.

The annoying version goes like this:

White person: Where are you from?

Brown person: Calgary

White person, squinting at their skin: Ok, but where are you from?

Brown person: Still Calgary.

White person: visibly frustrated

The annoying/racist part being that white people are assumed to originate from North America, but literally everyone else (including indigenous people, lol) are immigrants.

The basic question is fine and I’ve never seen someone upset about being asked. But if you go into more detailed questions, keep in mind they might mispercieve what you’re asking.

Fast forward into the future and imagine what you, your opponent, and the world at large will be like after the argument (win or lose).

If everything remains the same, it means the argument was pointless and it’s better to save your energy for something that matters.

The last time someone “won” an argument on the internet was in 1998.

I take oat milk over the other plant based milks I’ve tried. It’s the closest to making it taste and feel “filling” like dairy milk.

They sell cartons of “barista” type milks for plant milks as well. I think they’re more concentrated or have sugar or something to make them a better fit for coffee. Never tried those tho.

Emotional and ready to quit your job/break up with someone/confront someone?

Write down what you want to say/write. WRITE IT ALL DOWN.

Wait 24 hours. Read it again.

Do you still think you should send it? Then send it.

80% of the time my issue was stupid and my reaction inappropriate, but because I kept my mouth shut, all I had to do was tear up a piece of paper.

Thanks dad. That’s served me well.

Open one of your Microsoft Outlooks.

Welcome new mods!

Hold onto your butts.

It’s a terrible idea. Now you’re locked into a marriage and only starting to learn if you’re sexually compatible.

Sex and the ability to live together are something I think need to be heavily practised before you even think of settling down permanently with someone.

That said, if you are encountering pushy guys and telling the you’re waiting for marriage makes them back off, keep saying you’re waiting for marriage! But if things get far enough along that you think this is someone you want to be with “forever”, I’d revisit the boundary and see if it still make sense.

This person is dangerously in love with the smell of their own farts.

Like 5.

If they don’t all fit on the bookmark toolbar, there’s too many, and someone’s getting purged.

It’s not the image quality. The image is perfect. What’s happening is part of your brain is trying to turn the words in the image into ideas, and the ideas on there are so fucking stupid your brain is fighting it by messing with your perception.

IME they work when the music was actually released formally as an album and there’s metadata available for “an album you can buy separately”. If it’s just regular video game music I haven’t had any luck.

Business is tough. Companies don’t all make it. There’s no shame in that.

It’s not like he bankrupted a fucking CASINO or something like that.

Remember that at the time he was replacing Vin Diesel as ”the” action hero in pop culture.

He was a step up. It was just a very small step.

One thing about Lemmy that follows the Reddit formula perfectly is there’s always one jerk in every comments section. Don’t let em bother you.

Maybe it’s a typo and it’s only removing posts that lack profanity?

Fucking booleans.

You’ll run into a nasty recursion error if you think about that too much. My parents didn’t remember how they were raised when they raised me. And so on.

It turns out no one knows anything, it’s all fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants bullshit, and the people you should trust the least are the ones who claim to know anything about anything.
