Empricorn,

This is just for Pokemon Go, right?

Empricorn,

That makes sense. That’s pretty much the only one I haven’t played!

Empricorn,

Isn’t there a separate “Heathcliff without Heathcliff” community?

Empricorn,

Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification!

Empricorn,

Somewhere people with more money than sense go.

Empricorn,

It would have cost you absolutely nothing to resist posting that…

Empricorn,

You are wrong. Somebody has to be the worst dancer, and it’s me. Went to a wedding earlier this year and it was lovely and enjoyable until it was dancing time. Tried to avoid participating, but family was persistent so I finally stood up, reluctantly. It was awful and I was fully self-conscious to an extreme degree, even after some drinks and edibles. I nearly cringed my eyeballs the wrong direction. Dancing is me at my most socially awkward, 0/10 would not recommended…

Empricorn,

dancing is for everyone

I’m sorry, but that’s just not true. Like most things: sports, computers, athletics, intellectual pursuits, dancing; they may have wide appeal, but they are not for all people. Just because you finally enjoyed it, and even excelled at it doesn’t mean everyone will.

Empricorn,

Maybe it just proves cocaine?

Empricorn,

You can explain it away, but it’s not intuitive and is just bad design. Also, heaven forbid they just explain what things mean using words! But that’s a different rant about form over function in current over-simplified UI’s these days! Kind of like the useless “Oops! Something went wrong!” messages with no details or additional info…

Empricorn,

has a terrible second channel where he whines about “woke culture”

That’s disappointing. I’ve watched a lot of his videos over the years and didn’t even know about a second channel or his beliefs.

Empricorn,

To be fair, they dragged their feet on addressing it, sure, but then took massive steps to address it when they did. Top-to-bottom company-wide analysis and restructuring, limiting Linus’ role and voice, a complete moratorium on releasing videos while they made plans to slow the release output, and refocusing on quality-control with additional community input. Totally get if you still don’t like their videos, but I think they did everything possible to address everyone’s concerns.

I actually like the WAN Show podcast more than their videos. I think you get a sense for their genuineness and passion as they discuss current tech news…

Empricorn,

The Flammulated Owl is great, but come on. The Snowy Owl is on another level!

Empricorn,

I really, really appreciate this unpopular opinion, it made me see things in a different light. Unfortunately, the convincing you just did pales in comparison to how good Terminator 2 was. It wasn’t just a cool flick, a sequel, a “time travel movie”, etc, it was something special and it was amazing. But I fully understand and appreciate when time travel in movies doesn’t make 100% sense, because it almost never does …

Empricorn,

I imagine it’s like breathing for him…

Empricorn,

I’ve seen this graph before. What is “Active Users Halfyear” and how is it different from “Active Users Monthly”, especially since they both change and are measured… monthly?

Empricorn,

Hm, that makes sense. Still a little ambiguous, I think.

Empricorn,

uBlock Origin is now recommended by Firefox itself!? Or did you mean the community?

Empricorn,

So… it’s not currently built for cars.

Empricorn,

it’s just 'cause it’s old and historic and couldn’t possibly be replicated anywhere else

Not sure why you’re so insistent on replying to your own strawman argument. The statement is “Amsterdam is not built for cars”. That’s it. That’s what you replied to…

Empricorn,

A what?

Empricorn,

Thank you! Wish my last girlfriend understood this.

I could pay for her, but I couldn’t afford her…

Empricorn,

If they’re stealing heavy things, they’re a shitty thief!

(Seriously though: if you’re going to steal, do it from large, company-owned places, etc. Don’t prey upon struggling people or small businesses.)

Empricorn,

Oh, that’s awesome! Sounds Sikh (sorry). But seriously, thanks for the info!

Empricorn,

24 on my mobile browser. Not too bad, really.

Empricorn,

Looks fine to me on Lemmy! I’ll be following this to see what people who try it think…

Empricorn, (edited )

I can’t read the original text, so I’m mostly replying to your edit.

  • Doing something nice isn’t an asshole move
  • Doing nothing isn’t an asshole move
  • It’s not a lose-lose scenario
  • You’re not an asshole
  • This planet is better with you on it

Okay now that I’ve got the obvious stuff out of the way, DON’T LISTEN TO THE HATERS! The vast amount of replies were positive and encouraging. You obviously edited your post, which is a bit of an overreaction, but I get it. I’m sensitive too and I genuinely think it’s a good thing (mostly when I see that quality in others 🤷‍♂️). Empathetic people like you literally improve the world, for everyone. But ignore the bitter people who do the opposite and want everyone else to be miserable too. Even if you had no impact, you should do good things because they are true and pure and worth it, no matter how the recipient responds and no matter how other people view it. They’ll also make you feel good! Just keep being you…

Empricorn,

Reminder that NATO will only be expanding in response to this naked aggression by Russia and its illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Empricorn,

So… how do you open the map editor these days? I used Waze and added roads and stuff back in the day before Google bought it, but I just opened the app and can’t seem to get back into that “mode”. Sorry for the dumb question…

Empricorn,

I’ve got a wicked scar on my right hand that can attest to that! I was riding my bike home from my supermarket job as a teenager without a light… While holding my Sobe drink in my hand… I didn’t see a retaining wall log that had fallen down onto the sidewalk so I hit it, tire-first. I flew over the handlebars and my hand landed on the bottle as it broke. Severed a nerve in the hand and damn-near hit an artery. Surgery to repair that, and I still have some numbness in it. Live and learn, but I’ll always think of that when someone mentions Sobe!

Empricorn,

To be fair, they specifically asked for harmless habits!

Mine is I can’t resist being contrary/devil’s advocate…

Empricorn,

Without judging, some people confuse bitter for strong. You should try brewing their coffee different ways that will make it intense, but not bitter to see if they like it better. I’m not an expert, but maybe Chemex? Aeropress? Pour-over?

That’s all you can do if they end up preferring butter bitter coffee!

Empricorn,

Too true. Children shouldn’t be voting for anyone, much less Republicans.

Empricorn, (edited )

Uh, they’re obviously a sticky note. Duh…

Empricorn,

It’s difficult watching other people live out your dreams. ☹️

Empricorn,

It’s obviously “sox”.

Empricorn,

All I know is my gut says “maybe”.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

Empricorn, (edited )

I’m with you, OP: for some reason, it’s the little things I notice.

I’m in grocery stores a lot. It used to be, there was a nice little seating area there to sit, drink my coffee and work. But now, because homeless people dared to duck inside a public-facing area to briefly escape the elements, they removed many of the tables and chairs and they’re now a big, empty space. Heaven forbid they add more seating, actually staff enough people to enforce a time-limit, etc; no, instead we all are worse off for it. But corporate profits have never been higher, so worth it, right!?

Empricorn,

Bullshit. How dumb do they think we are!?

Empricorn,

They’re not holding hands. How good of friends can they be!?

Empricorn,

Much, much, much shorter answer:

It’s the equivalent to an operating system, like Windows.

Empricorn,

If you have years of files named similarly with the date, you will love the ISO standard and how it keeps things sorted and easy to read.

Empricorn,

If I saw this, I would have no faith in the elevator and would just hoof it up however many flights. Not fair to the disabled though…

Empricorn,

Haha. It’s a cowboy term, as far as I’m aware…
