Mildly Infuriating

I get him recommended all the time but his thumbnails and doomer titles don't look appealing (they're all 1/3 his face). In general, if all a Thumbnail/title elicits is some kind of emotionally loaded tired cliche (AI will kill us all, Reading is dead, We were this close to all being hacked by Jia Tan, Overpopulation, Underpopulation, the decay of [Art Form, Daily Pastime, Emotion, Other Noun], We Did Transgressive Investigative Journalism, Epic Scientist Battle of the Equations, you may add to gis list) I don't watch it. If it promises cool news about topic, or personal story, I do. Also, I still hate Enrico Tartarotti for some insufficiently explained reason. (he made a video basically dissing vim at some point, and I don't even know how to use vim)

I love her to bits but I can't figure out how she though this was a gold idea. It puts fumes into the food

So many US cities have situations like this.

I’ve found alternatives to almost all proprietary software; all that remains is to replace the networks themselves, which are controlled by corporations and governments. That will be a bit more difficult.

I was invited to partake upon opening the software. I thought Lemmy might get a kick out of this.

This isn't a swashbuckling pirate, this is your Uncle Jim who worked a gig at some kid's vaguely pirate-themed birthday party

There's not a single arrg bone in this guy's body. He's more of a "how're ya doin' kids, it's me, the pirrrrate" kind of guy, you know?

Like, this dude just does NOT have the energy nor the strength to fire a cannon. You really think HE'S gonna take on a kraken? Nah, dude's never even seen a seagull

You know where this dude lives? Probably some town in Iowa, near a Cracker Barrel

It's in his eyes. I can tell

They changed the shurtcut for 👍 from (thumbsup) to :thumbsup:

this nonsense has been going on for months. i'm sick of it. what the hell are they thinking? just let me read my articles in peace.

If you haven't secured your load and it breaks my wind shield, you're liable. I don't care what warning you may have written on your truck and neither does insurance nor the law (in the US at least).

I'm sorry, I'm not often someone to whine about Firefox UI. Usually their changes have been for good actually. BUT! But but but. Proper UI design would require AI features to be disabled if the toggle is disabled. This is both highly silly and very confusing.

one of the two packages is now stuck at the same place for a while and the second got put on a van but i think the package shop had break time when they tried to deliver it. They are closed midday for 2 hours.
Im contemplating if i should try to get it today now after work or if i get it when the website says its there.
Maybe the system is even faulty and my first package is already waiting for me.

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit: it arrived at the pickup so im not mildly infuriated anymore :D

Trust corporate America to take something as simple as loading a text article into a digital "experience". What the hell even is that? (Its marketing jargon for ads, I know). Talk about a circle jerk around the marketing table though.

First of all: I don't have a single clue where to post this as I am not going to put this in a meme.

Political focus is one thing that's always infuriating. Like, just imagine atleast 6 or more years ago, Greta Thunberg let Trump be framed as a dirty money-hungry pig for his climate politics and the whole World stood with her, while now Multi-who-knows-what-aires can do anything they like when someone merely lays a wrong eye at a Mass-LLM-center (Not calling it THE word because I HATE it).

But from all these active themes that keep switching focus as propaganda and the "woke mind" spreads, there was always one thing that kept devolving (big word): racism. First it was everyone who wasn't white, then a different group, suddenly a religion - and all of this changed depending on where you went. But it was always there. Always.

Putting aside ideologies, it always starts with a new political focus. For example: Right wing party gets the government = Oh now it's these pesky [insert minority (doesn't have to be an ethnic group)]. It is well anchored in our system. No, scratch that: It is well anchored in EVERY SYSTEM. And guess what... can't only be racism, can't it: let's also put ableism, sexism and multiple other phobias and isms in the bunch (again). So not only is racism repackaged every time, but every other prior ism and phobia is also burned onto it.

But taken away this filled out rant, I learned to hate a new word: Alien. Can you imagine, having every single thing here "modernised". Gendering, pronounciations, other things put into this list, but why not atleast take a word which is way to general and unthought of and put a consideration behind it.

You think that when the so-called "aliens" try to exist with us in harmony, 'cause idk, they lost their planet or something, live on this earth have family, live for generations and go to a job meeting only to be addressed as the alien (girl, boy, woman, (list goes on)), they would be okay with that??

Now as some of you may have realised that is kinda a familiar story isn't it. Integrating yourself or being forced to integrate in a system, having to go through trauma, unacceptance, etc. living there for decades only to be judged by for only looking different or for being from somewhere else. Hmmmmm... might I wonder what that sounds like.

The only funny thing is, that that scenario I just opened with the "aliens" never had a name attached to it until now. Donald Doofus, the patriotic self-centred american himself started calling actual people who live on this earth and even had the grounds through their ancestors themself before his whole entire family tree decided to migrate onto a "newly conquered" (unspeakably acclaimed) terrain in hopes of having an even better life. And what that just says is absolute sh°t. When I ever hear this word I just get angry, when people make jokes about racism or racist jokes I can't stop myself from just wanting to punch my sense into these w*nkers.

Moral of the story is: There is none. All hope is lost talking to an egotostical moron and the worst is when they still win. I'd also hope as a person - not a "white person" or anything else - that people will understand or atleast try to comprehend what other people have to go through in order to not even be accepted fully.

Be safe out there, try to be rational, hear out any and every rationally formed opinion and try to be enlighting. Never force anyone to listen but also stay determined to your goal. With that Cheers

P.S. I thought over other wording for a "non-earther" but even stuff like extraterrestrial is just the same. Another Moral: FOR WHOEVERS SAKE, DON'T LABEL PEOPLE!

P.P.S. Have you ever thought why people seperate themselfs on a "higher level" even though the greatest genetic differences between modern humans (homo homo sapiens) is not even a percent? And even if, bananas share 55% DNA with humans, but they are somehow more than just accepted (stilled blamed for a bit of radiation though).

I like the McDonald’s breakfast sandwich with a scrambled egg, figured I’d try the Burger King one for the sake of comparison. But they wouldn’t do it with a scrambled egg. “We don’t do that”. I thought their whole shtick was “have it your way?” Guess not.

My kid watches Bluey,but I like to watch some things some times as well. Guess that's not allowed anymore. Guess I'll be unsubscribing.

And it won't move today or tomorrow either. Monday? There is hope.

I understand the need for renovation. I'm not complaining about that. But there would've been enough space to move it 10 meters to the right, park it properly.

This is my main window.

I travel a lot for work. As such, I eat out a lot. As such such, I look at a lot of places' menus without physically being there (since I don't know the area, I don't know where to eat, so I look at the reviews and images posted online).

A restaurant's soup selection will likely not be the thing that decides if I eat there or somewhere else, but sometimes soup is the only side dish that sounds appetizing, and if I don't know what kind of soup the restaurant serves I'll probably just pick somewhere else.
