I’m definitely not taking any lessons from someone who wears socks with sandals no matter their credentials.


When I was younger, I had really only experienced console games and maybe a few basic PC games at school. My uncle showed my this FPS game on his computer called Redneck Rampage. Basically you’re running around farms trying to kill aliens. I don’t really remember playing very many FPS game before that and it opened up a whole new world for me. But the really crazy part was how “adult” the game was. You could drink beer in the game and your character would get drunk. I also remember some graffiti in the game of a naked woman with huge tits. At the time I could not believe something like that would be allowed in a video game! Blew my mind.


My phone (Pixel 7) does not have one. On occasion I use a pair of wired USB-C headphones but only for media. I do not use headphones for calls. Bluetooth in the car for calls and YouTube Music.
Is this a first time occurrence? Has there ever been any other indication of your dad’s discomfort around people wearing backpacks? There might be some history here that you’re not aware of. Some past bad experience he had. A kind of PTSD.


This is correct. Alphabetical Order is one of the fundamental laws of nature. A universal constant.
If the mug shot is a nice cold bottle of water, his conviction is going to feel like that scene from Flashdance. My body is ready.


Those definitely come in handy!


A good pocket knife or multi-tool like a Letherman or Gerber. I always have a pocket knife on me and a multi-tool in my car. Either one gets used pretty much daily.

I just noticed some other comments mentioning that and didn’t realize there was a different one-time fee to remove ads. I only initially saw the “ultra” subscription options. You’re right though, $20 is a bit high but not too far off. I would pay $10 if I was sure this was the app for me. It’s honestly a nice looking app. I never used Sync for Reddit. My favorite was always Relay.


Everyone is getting bent out of shape. Just use whatever app you like best. I have 5 apps installed that I’m testing including Sync.
That being said, my 2 cents regarding Sync: I don’t mind paying for a great app like Sync, but I’m not crazy about subscription models. I know there is a one time option but $100 for a mobile app is beyond nuts.
EDIT: $100 is for the lifetime “ultra” plan. It’s $20 to remove ads.
I read a story on Reddit one time that some of you probably remember.
“Today you. Tomorrow me.”
I think about that often and try to be a generally helpful and kind person to anyone in need. I guess that’s a mantra that I swear by.


They don’t want us to own the things we pay for.
The real answer right there.
I am mildly annoyed that “on” is down and “off” is up.
Last night a hacker(s) used an exploit to manipulate the content on multiple instances including lemmy.world.


I was looking through all the YT channels I subscribe to and most of them have millions of views per video. But if you’re into fishing, there is a channel called 1fish2fish. It’s a younger husband and wife on the East Coast. They have some great videos that have really helped me up my fishing game and taught me a lot and they’re fun to watch.
I love this. You knew what you had to do to get what you wanted, and you went out there and did it.
One bite and everything goes out the back like the police knocking on a crackhouse door.
