I like when it only autocorrects the second word. “I’m going to home Depot”

The absolute worst is when the Word Documents are stashed away in some random drawer. Or when you find an Excel spreadsheet under the mattress!

I think the question is pretty straightforward…new subreddits were born out of a need for a niche. If there’s no need for the niche (as we both agree), why was this community made? The truth is that a lot of Lemmy communities are poorly cosplaying subreddits without having ever seen the movie. It looks like a duck but sure doesn’t walk like one

So what’s the point of this if there’s no nuance? That’s still my question. Why did people make these communities with subreddit names if they weren’t going to be similar places? It feels so…hollow.

OP doesn’t identify bad actors. They say bad actors exist which is next to useless

Based on the other posts, I think it would fit right in over there. It only “fits” here because this community has no theme. It copied its name from the subreddit but didn’t try to mimic what made it unique.

For reference, the subreddit was for “common sense” questions people might feel stupid asking. An example of a great post there was “how often do I have to wash a hoodie” or “do I really have to change my oil every 3000 miles?”

What is the point of this community if questions like this are normal? Isn’t that asklemmy’s whole thing? I’m downvoted every time I ask

Play it on hard mode so every move matters and the combat gets a lot less boring

What a shame that your hand-wringing is causing second hand embarrassment for everyone who reads it.

There you go again, deliberately misinterpreting to feel superior.

Goddamn, you are insufferable.You’re not speaking out against vigilante murderers, you’re pearl clutching that people dare to lack empathy for someone completely devoid of it.

The “victim” attacked first by denying the killer healthcare.

Get off your high horse and shut the fuck up. Were you shocked when people celebrated Kissinger or Bin Laden dying or do you only get upset at corporate America?

You advocate for a world in which a stranger can decide that you’re also a bad person, and gun you down in the street. In such a world, I promise you, your health insurance

WE CURRENTLY LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE AN UNQUALIFIED STRANGER CAN DECIDE YOU DON’T DESERVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. Healthcare CEOs kill people EVERY DAY but we should draw the line when it’s a gun and not a denial letter? Get the fuck out of here with that logic.

Go point your outage at the millions of innocent people who die every day from preventable disease. Or if that’s too abstract for you, how about the people getting bombed and starved in Palestine?

I saw an ad showing how smart glasses help shoot creative videos. The guy wearing them does a slow spin and runs up to a girl who does the influencer “fake awe” thing at the sky. Then another shot he just backs away from her.

The resulting video failed to demonstrate what the glasses could do that a phone couldn’t. It was worse than a phone and the guy looked like an idiot filming it.

I, too, love to support companies that I know fuck people over after they sign contracts. If I find out they’re harvesting my data, I’ll just love them even more. That’s The Art Of The Deal, baby!!

Resolution matters a lot less than pixel density. 1080p above 24" looks like shit so if you’re happy with your monitor size, definitely no need to upgrade

Poke your hand until you hit the corner of a seam. Do the same with the other hand on an adjacent corner.

Bring hands together so both corners touch.

Now unfold the corner in one hand onto the other hand.

Smooth it out. Repeat with the untouched corners.

You can do it one more time or just fold from there

I like to imagine the interaction went like this…

Fisherman: hey there

Boat girl: …

Fisherman, pushing the boat back to sea: welp, I tried!

Hoo boy, someone’s riled up! Have you considered taking your own advice? Jeez lol

The original subreddit was for “common sense” questions you feel stupid for not knowing.

Over here, the only thing it has in common is the name. What’s the point of a separate community from asklemmy if there’s no posting guidelines?

“why is my neighbor doing [something]” is a question better suited for the neighbor than Lemmy. But if you must, asklemmy would be a significantly more appropriate community to be asking.

A ton of the fediverse feels less like social media and more like new buckets to fill with old memes…there’s very little original content on here which is, in my opinion, the best part of social media with strangers.

I miss pre-trump Twitter.
