ROFLMAO - looks like they had a hissy fit.
The main issues (as my best lesbian friend once chimed in with me) are the people who are rather too quick to find offence, in an aggressive way, rather than offer a correction or an explanation, or simply engage in some discussion to confirm their initial suspicions.
Haha marketing is what it is… a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone…
So yes, you’re right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.
You’re joking, right?
My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.
I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine’s set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it’ll hibernate.
Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.
These ‘Start Menu Ads’ aren’t rolling out to everyone, I have zero ‘Start Menu Ads’. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.
Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn’t this the main bug with all operating systems?
I was watching an interesting debate at Oxford University the other day - they pointed out that in countries where Religion is taken more seriously, the people are less happy and more corrupt.
The best countries, Eurpean countries with great social care and low unemployment, are countries where religion dies out - people don’t care because they’re happy.
USA is very special, the MOST religious (except for our famous Middle Eastern Muslim and Jewish countries) and the MOST violent (same exceptions).
When Religion is high on the agenda, you know it means there’s a ton of trouble… and with the USA, the leader of the country is effectively the leader of the Religion also.
Yup, after seeing a University student trying to point out the Civilian toll, I remember WWII - did everyone forget Dresden?
Laws of war are designed to make it somehow more civilised - but the more we see war, the more we see that it really cannot be ‘more civilised’ and that the ‘fog of war’ is a bitch.
For sure, if someone shoots your kid, you must turn the other cheek because they’re gonna dress in civilian clothes and pretend to be innocent when you shoot back. It’s what these pricks have been doing to U.S. troops for years and it’s the reason that civilians are more at risk when fighting animals like this.
There are a couple of things here… firstly you’re thinking about him being with someone else - that’s not just a ‘breakup’, that’s worse.
Anyway, I found relaxing to be difficult so I went out and did stuff - also I just met lots of friends and tried not to be on my own. During my last breakup, I had someone to meet every day after work for a week - and that put some distance which made it easier.
That all depends on how, and the context in which it’s done. My first girlfriend would spend hours tickling my back in between sessions - I never forgot those sunny days.
Now with more aggressive tickling - it is akin to a violent attack, and my father used to tickle me until I couldn’t stand it, and then push some more. Often it ended with me in tears… so with my son, sometimes I’ll grab a foot and start tickling it like mad - but I have a MUCH shorter cutoff time so that it ends with him laughing.
So it’s not simple - but consent is a huge issue.
Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.
SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).
Sometimes there is VICARIOUS pleasure to be had - I never noticed ‘schlorp schlorp’ noises.
There’s a lot of truth in the adage that ‘sex sells’. To imagine yourself being in the position of the person on screen is rather a guilty pleasure, enabling you to take part in ‘consentual sex’ with someone by simply imagining that you are the one doing the act.
Not really - as the weeks and months go by, people will gravitate… and individual groups can update their names/descriptions if they become aware of a similar instance.
Also consider - don’t sign in to YouTube. Set uBlock, and Sponsorblock, too - so when youtube does get watched, the ads and promotions get skipped.
Everyone here is missing the point - by signing in to YouTube, you give Google more power to dominate your life.
With a simple inoreader extension in Firefox, you can visit a youtube/youtuber/video page and subscribe the feed.
Search interesting channels and save them to Feedly, or Inoreader.
Pin those to Firefox, so that your feeds are always refreshed and visible.
To begin with, I’d stop her using the YouTube website logged in.
Set her up with Inoreader - then when you find something interesting, you can visit the ‘video’ page and subscribe to the feed…
If you log her out, that will mean she just uses it without logging in - which works ok for feeds. She can browse, but it’s fresh.
Just a few suggestions that work for me - via RSS feed (not subscribed in Youtube):
With inoreader it’s a simple task to mark all items in a folder as read if you want to skip them. Also, with the inoreader account you can log in remotely at any browser, then you can find stuff you think is cool and subscribe - then that will show up in her feeds.
Not only video/youtube.
!dadjokes works too - Lemmy stuff, any stuff.https://driveandlisten.herokuapp.com/home
Then some interesting pinned tabs/bookmarks like https://window-swap.com/
Then you should also show her the new Radio
I love this site, I found a couple of dozen and added them in pyradio app so I’ve always got interesting listening when I don’t want to stare at the screen.
Shorter than community.
ROFLMAO some people say it’s sad.
What’s sad is that people even noticed it.
Weird - literally never happened to me because I hold it 4 fingers on the back and thumb on the left edge.
It depends where you live (I’m in Bangkok, so grocery choices are quite limited).
I love Oats. I got massively back into them again this year… now I buy around 3kg every month (instant oats).
It’s only this year, really, that I discovered that oats are still really good and creamy when not made with milk… and it’s really easy to boil a single cup of water to dump on a cup of oats for a perfect breakfast (left standing for a minute - done… no need to ‘microwave’ oats).
Also, cheap staples include: carrots, potato, broccoli, spinach…
Frozen strawberries are dirt cheap here too.
That’s choccie heaven right there.
Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.
