emeralddawn45, to memes in LBTQIA rights 2024 only

The only reason I think I get it is because I just saw a post above this about a senate staffer being caught filming a gay porn video in the senate chamber. I assume buss is supposed to mean ‘bussy’. Seems like a stretch though

The sarcasm flying over people’s heads in this thread is killing me lmao

They use the small papers and just leave a tiny little space at the end where the filter would usually go, and it just gets all smashed down and soggy. That’s why people used to use “roach clips” because the end of the joint would be a soggy, tarry mess that you couldn’t hold on to. I don’t know why anyone who’s ever smoked one of those shitty little joints would ever insist they’re superior to one with a cardboard filter in any way.

Right so in that scenario that measurment makes sense but for the average person in their day to day life it’s much less useful. And my car doesn’t have a fancy computer that tells me the efficiency. Or measure in accurate increments how much fuel is in the tank. So if I wanted to know how efficient my engine is, the best way to do it would be start on empty, add a liter of fuel, and see how far I could drive it, which is probably why and how that measurement became commonplace. Because cars have been around alot longer than computers.

I’m not even American but this is way less intuitive for everyday use. I don’t need some abstract measure of how efficient my car is being. My fuel tank is measured in liters, when I fill up i pay by the liter, I want to know how far I can go on x liters. Not have to do a bunch of mental math to reverse the equation for my gas tank with 40 liters in it. I have 40l, I can go x*40 km. Mental multiplication is way easier than mental division.

emeralddawn45, to technology in Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV

I’ve been using a $20 air remote off Amazon for years now. The tracking is honestly incredible and the device is built like an old Nokia phone. I’ve launched it off the bed or couch hundreds of times, even had the plastic casing bust open, but when I clicked it back together it still works good as new, and it’s even good enough to play simple point and click/mousepowered games on the TV. The front is all media/TV controls and the back is a full keyboard, with a toggled backlight. It’s honestly so much better than any of the media center remotes I’ve used including the apple tv one or the firestick one.

Well that’s a pretty specific use case, I’ve only ever met one person with a foldable phone. But yeah they should probably fix that.

Ublock is so good at being 'set and forgettable I’ve gone beyond just suggesting it to friends and family who aren’t very tech literate, and just installed it for them. I’m sure I can’t be the only one. But these people would likely go straight back to consuming ads rather than try to figure out why their ad blocker stopped working. That’s sad but it’s true.

I’ve never had a single issue with Firefox for Android and I’ve run it on all my phones for like 6-7years at least, probably more but I don’t remember.

I think China Ferrari is a person? That’s the only way I could get it to make any sense

emeralddawn45, to risa in Weird, right?

I mean their backyard is also pretty much the vulcans backyard. For the most part they’re exploring places the vulcans have been, or have been near. Iirc only a few places they go were totally unknown in the vulcan database.

emeralddawn45, to risa in It's that time of year when Scotty's brain melts.

If you wanna grow upside down plants just use a mirror duh.

emeralddawn45, to asklemmy in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

That is not a lot of music. I had my old 80gb iPod filled to the brim with more on my computer back in the day. And those were just ordinary mp3s, not flac or lossless or anything. Nowadays I have like 10000 songs in my spotify library. I moved away from mp3s because curating and downloading that many songs is a pain and quite time consuming compared to just clicking a heart on spotify. Plus spotify is now primarily how I find new music, so ts just way easier than switching to a browser and manually downloading whatever cool song I just found, and having to fix tags or whatever. Especially since I’m usually doing something else while listening. With spotify I can save a song without even unlocking my phone. I also always listen to my whole library on shuffle and haven’t had any issues with it.

But wouldn’t the reason it’s bad for ants to read also apply to anyone else? So this is subtly implying that reading turns kids evil, not a great message for a librarian to spread… /s sorta

emeralddawn45, to shrooms in Movie Suggestions needed!

Yeah it seems like it was just the sort of thing OP wanted too, I just wanted to give a different perspective on it. I personally don’t find comedies all that funny on shrooms, to me it seems like everyone is overactive and being annoying usually, but I’m glad he got a good recommendation out of it :).
