I’d also spend a month researching the exact perfect router

Every time I do this I come away disgusted with how trash most technology is and just how awful manufacturers are willing to make the experience just to get those precious data harvesting bucks. See also: this thread. Womp womp.

Well that sucks. I am guilty of really only following Risa, mostly due to big gaps in my watch history and wanting to avoid spoilers for the newer shows. I’m not surprised though… Reddit had (and still has) tremendous amounts of inertia.

And now that you know, feel free to join us in the rabbit hole!

Successfully pulling off a lift-and-move like that was huge. I wish more niche/fandoms had followed suit instead of staying put.

Oh, no mockery intended on my part. I was just trying to make sure all of the elements got equal representation.

Congrats! It’s good to see some Zelda II love. It took me years to beat this as a kid, and you bet your ass I got some tips from Nintendo Power lol. To this day it’s still one of my favorite NES games.

All it takes is watching a few home improvement videos on YT to start the idiot ads rolling: bots reading screen text a la TikTok that boil down to “Doctors HATE this one trick!” nonsense. I’m never sure if the knowledge gained from the video is worth the brain cells lost to the ad.

The article does not clearly cite its sources. ‘Based on 1019 responses’ from who? Sydneysiders? People from the NT?

This uncited survey from a for profit company, with major shareholders being venture capitalists, asset managers, shitbags, etc. with a history of possible poll manipulation means nothing.

Was that edited in after the fact? Why are people dogpiling based on that first sentence and ignoring the rest?

“I was unsure of whether I could trust y’all with this info, but after talking with you a bit I think it’s time to come clean.” And then start talking about Second Impact as if it happened IRL and not in a famous anime. (Spoilers for Evangelion in the link.) There’s already in-lore conspiracies and coverups to use as talking points.

A perfect example is this guy from my last job. Thought himself a leader. Thought himself knowledgeable. Always had an answer, regardless of actual facts. Alternated between barking out orders and lamenting on how he had to do everything himself. Constantly getting schooled by people who actually knew the subject matter. Those who had been around just kinda put up with his BS because he filled a position that nobody else wanted.

Enter new management, who was very impressed with his authoritative tone, apparent breadth of knowledge, and willingness to lick boot. Suddenly management is bypassing dude’s bosses to go straight to the horse’s mouth and get the straight dope (which often involved taking credit for other people’s work and bus-chucking whoever was handy). All because someone who barely knew what he was talking about spoke confidently to people that had no idea what was going on.

Also that ‘less readable font’ is called OpenDyslexic which was specifically designed to be readable to people with Dyslexia.

Neat, TIL. To my eyes, it looks like the font was rendered at a specific point size and then scaled up unevenly, like on an old LCD screen with a mismatched resolution. I found myself trying to zoom in to clear it up. If others find it more readable, that’s awesome.

As for thematics, Dinos and comics started off with a heavy slant on neurodivergency (and navigating it) in general, ADHD included. Later ones skewed heavily towards “I am happy with my partner” type stuff. Which is cute and all, but doesn’t hit the same.

These are like dinosanscomics except with a less readable font. So much like it that the format/theme seems lifted entirely. 😕

Kbin doesn’t display federated downvotes (if it even pulls them). Any downvotes you see on kbin came from kbin.

“A HA! We knew it!”

This is the way.

Thank you, CaptObvious.

Not only that, but the item description tells you that cooking them has a cold resistant effect. The old man also gives a way to combat the temps.
