jpeps, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

We judge ourselves by our intentions, but others by their actions.

If you have fixed desks, put a piece of sticky note over the laser on their mouse. That or use the monitor settings to rotate their screen 180 degrees when they aren’t around.

Nagairius,

CTL + ALT + arrow keys will do it for ya

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

Not sure that this is a universally available hotkey for rotating screens. Certainly doesn’t work on my laptop.

Alt + F4 works though.

I think it only works with external displays specifically running on an Intel integrated GPU, iirc

Nonameuser678, in Which one are you?
@Nonameuser678@aussie.zone avatar

As a non-american it blows my mind that you have so many fast food companies.

MakunaHatata,

What really amazes me is that, that’s not all of them

BruceTwarzen,

I was pretty sure most of them were made up. I hope this crap never makes it over here

Ziggurat,

What blows my mind is that it’s all large franchise. We have tons of independant selling various form of fast-food. Stuff like Sandwiches, Pizza, kebap and more. But I can’t think about only 2-3 large chain, basically we have Mc-Donalds, Quick, and that’s it ? or may-be burger kind did a comeback last years, not even sure…

GingeyBook,

To be fair, where I’m at in the south we have these. Still a lot but most are very regional

I used to hate lifting. Now I look at it like a meditation, and look forward to it (mostly) every day.

Locuralacura, in What is the craziest thing that's ever happened in your life?

A. Riding a freight train from Midwest to California. 3 day trip, very crazy.

B. Taking a motorcycle trip to a small tribal village in Thailand, smoking bong rips with a Buddhist monk, slaughtering a pig and eating it raw, drinking homemade rice hootch until blacking out. Hiking around drunkenly accidentally ending up in Burma, running away from the Burmese military. Them chasing me until I got back to the village.

C. Getting bitten by a unknown spider in Nicaragua, swollen, blistering boil, feverish, infection. Taking a bus to san salvador, then quezaltenango Guatemala, doctor cutting a blister open and pushing out the puss, excruciating pain. Then after days of it not healing, going to a local hotspring, dunking my arm in steaming hot lithium water, and basically watching the infection fall out in one massive puss ball leaving a gaping hole in my arm.

Notyou,

Your adventures seems to be growing in adventure and danger. I would take a break and have a staycation somewhere.

I didn’t even know hot lithium water was a thing. I’m guessing there are some benefits, but I wonder what happened to make the puss ball fall off your arm.

Locuralacura,

I’m old now, I don’t even drink beer anymore. I don’t go somewhere unless I already know someone there. My adventure days are behind me, hopefully. Thanks tho.

KittenBiscuits,

That last one… (o.O)

smattering82, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

For me Brazilian jiu Jitsu got me in great shape and the grind of it helped me get into hard workouts too. I don’t enjoy lifting or doing cardio but I love the after reward. Jiu jitsu definitely helped me know I could push past what I thought was a limit.

Never underestimate the power of denial

syklone, in from a user perspective do you prefer material design 3, GNOME style guidelines or any other style guidelines?

I can’t stand the Gnome design. Material wins by default for me, but I do like it as well.

syklone, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

These people addicted to running tho… 👀

IDK how they do it. I hate running. I have had extended periods in my life where I exercised 6 times a week, but I never enjoyed it.

levi,

For me it’s deeply relaxing. You basically get into full machine-mode and stop thinking, just flow forward, for a few moments everything in the world is not important anymore. Feels like active meditation.

kill_dash_nine,

That’s what si used to love about running when I did it; t was time to put my thoughts together and just mentally prepare for my day, as I would run at like 5:30 am In the summer to avoid heat.

I switched the cycling due to it feeling much better on my body but cycling is a much more active workout of needing to actually pay attention but I do feel like I enjoy cycling much more. More to see and a strong sense of accomplishment plus it burns s lot of calories which doesn’t hurt.

syklone,

I actually enjoy cycling if I’m not doing it for exercising. More like joy riding. I find it relaxing the same way the post you’re commenting on said. But running… Never. 🙃

syklone,

I wish I felt the same.

what’s the hell do you boys think that this is a fucking fairyland? pulling on you wee-wees like a pack of fucking fruits?

books, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I’m a podcast listener, can’t do music… Wish I could but It makes workouts drag for me.

But I absolutely love mt biking. I’m not good or fast, but it’s zen for me.

mochi, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I love riding my bike on the weekends and if my commute wasn’t 1.5 hours each way, I’d go to the gym pretty often.

reddig33, in Do actors all need to agree to casually smoke for some roles?

It’s usually what’s called a “lettuce cigarette”. No tobacco in it.

Brody,
@Brody@programming.dev avatar

Oh, that’s really neat! Prop cigarettes that look and burn like the genuine article, but just have herbs stuffed in it! Thanks!

UntouchedWagons,
@UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca avatar

I prefer the balsamic and oregano flavour myself.

intensely_human,

So you still have to take smoke into your lungs, but it’s not forcing a tobacco craving to start.

calvinklein97,
@calvinklein97@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don’t even think it’s going into the lungs especially with non smokers. If you try to inhale smoke as a non smoker you’ll most likely cough your lungs out. I assume they suck the smoke into their cheeks and blow it out from there.

AntY,

You can just keep the smoke in your mouth, no need to inhale it if it’s just for show.

EeeDawg101,

It looks kind of dumb though if I’m being honest. You can easily tell if someone didn’t inhale and instead just kept it in their mouth. Doesn’t look as complete. For acting, I’d consider this an issue.

operator,
@operator@kbin.social avatar

Agree. I can always tell if an actor is inhaling or puffing. And (I wish everyone the best in health) this looks just weird.

Atiran,

Almost everything looks dumb on tv if you know what to look for. Almost everything related to guns, computers, or driving looks ridiculous and fake. It doesn’t stop them from doing it, nor does it stop people from enjoying the entertainment.

CosmicApe,
@CosmicApe@kbin.social avatar

After reading about how Tarantino actually strangled Kruger for Inglorious Basterds, I can't help but notice how fake it looks in other films.

iNeedScissors67,
@iNeedScissors67@kbin.social avatar

I still remember watching the OC back in high school and seeing them play a Playstation game with an Xbox controller. I think about it sometimes.

EeeDawg101,

That is a fair point.

jscummy,

No idea what you’re talking about, I just picked up a new Charger with the F&F package (25 speed manual, factory installed 5000 shot of nitrous) and it seems perfectly realistic

acunasdaddy,

Cool to know. But that website you liked to is cancer. I’ve never seen so many obnoxious ads covering up the text lol

NABDad,

Well, if the fake cigarettes aren’t going to give you cancer, the website needs to pick up the slack!

SupportTransPeople, in Hey Lemmy, what are some good public domain books?

don quixote is great, i reread it recently and had a great time

Bishma,
@Bishma@social.fossware.space avatar

One of my all-time favorite books. Be sure to get a good translation though.

nutomic,
@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

I tried to read that but it was way too drawn out. I think I made it to page 200 or so and he didnt even leave his village yet. And it has 1000 pages. That was years ago so numbers might be wrong.
