Definitely unneeded. The ending letter of the series of letters we employ to form words is especially useless, but to be honest the first is mostly superfluous too

Genuinely shocking to me how disgusting fast food places have gotten. But I’m also not sure if it’s just my perception

Hey! That’s awesome to hear thank you for letting me know, makes me feel like I’ve helped contribute something positive to lemmy :D

Reread the post myself. Since then my friend is still sticking with it and looking great! Also roped some other friends into it haha. I’ve also developed a deep love for extra firm tofu, in addition to the rest of the listed food items

I believe their official stance is simply that any “expert who thinks they know better than the duly elected president” will be fired or ignored

Oh fascinating! Thank you

Can you tell more about approval voting? I haven’t heard of it

Certainly hope we can

Got me crying pretty bad lol. Seeing love just gently pulling him back to his child despite all of the fear and uncertainty

It matters somewhat, in that you may be able to sync things between mobile and desktop if you use the ios version of your desktop browser

Me and who

Hey different person here. But there’s a difference between this and being a typically hormonally hair triggered teenager. It’s a strange comparison to make.

That being said I read the article and only the maximum sentence is life. It’s possible he gets out in as little as 13 years. I for one am hopeful he can get better. And if he can get better, then who can’t? It’s worth it to try

Not exactly what you’re asking, as I was on reddit for many years. Never touched twitter tho, but nonetheless I’ve been really enjoying Mastodon

Same, but without the finesse and the home ownership and such

Yeah it was a trip for me as well to adapt to the new ways. For example it took me a long long time to adjust to allowing the computer to manage the multitasking for me. I would habitually always close out programs I wasn’t using, because I felt deeply from my decades of experience that running tons of things at once would cause many issues.

I was very uncomfortable letting all these “active” programs pile up, but it really turned out to be all good. The computers are designed to be used this way. And really, I’m better off for it, not having to go in and micromanage everything constantly.

What I’m trying to say is that learning is not something that is ever finished, you know? There came a day when we stopped defragmenting our hard drives, and now the day has arrived where the computer utilizes all the ram all the time

That’s normal for these computers. Idea being it doesn’t really benefit you to have a ton of empty ram sitting around waiting to be used. So the OS makes no effort to clear it out until the space is needed.

If you believe their marketing it’s actually doing the opposite, and preemptively loading stuff into ram in order to make your common tasks feel as snappy as possible. But yeah either way you’ll notice the memory is always “full”, but you never seem run out

There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.

I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?

But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension

Absolute banger of a game. Loved it when it first launched, excited to jump back in with the new content. Just in time for Halloween, too

Yeah, I love it and actually prefer it to my old reddit experience for general browsing.

What isn’t quite there yet is the ability to like, sit down all day and scroll and post in a community dedicated to my current hyperfixation of the week. Be it guitar maintenance, some indie game, or whatever.

But reddit also didn’t have that when I started using it. Excited to hang here and watch the garden grow

wordn’t

I use both at the same desk. I even use the same (windows layout) keyboard on both, and somehow I’m even able to reflexively remember to switch which hotkeys I use, such as win+c and win+v instead of ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copy/paste. I did eventually have to switch the default scroll direction for my mouse wheel though, those being different was just too much lol
