This very Lemmy account is from embracing its domain name.

How do you know someone uses Arch?

Don’t worry; they’ll tell you.

Ironically, I believe the server for this instance runs Ubuntu.

I mean, probably for the best. You think "Personal workstation’ when you hear Arch, not a public server

Vilian,

lmao

Feathercrown,

Ah yes, I U Search Linux

Actually confused kpop fans this way, since IU is the name of a kpop star.

backhdlp, in Why has YouTube introduced support for multiple audio tracks for videos only now?
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Wdym “only now”? It’s been a thing for like a year now

Alto, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

Rocket shoes? Yeah, definitely rocket shoes

DarkMessiah, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

Basically indestructible soles and insoles in terms of wear and tear, and an indestructible in general toe cap. Soft enough insoles to cushion, but firm enough to support. Light enough to use everywhere without feeling like I’m walking on King Kai’s planet. Self-tightening laces and mouth. GPS tracking in case I can’t find them or someone’s stolen them.

AnonStoleMyPants, in What makes video games addictive for you?

I play with friends. It is out hang out time. That is the addictive part. I can’t play single player games at all, always get bored after couple of hours. Solo online games are pretty much the same.

pan_troglodytes, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

they’d be like sandals, but with a lot of cushion - like walking on a porpoise. my palanquin bearers would wear them.

Yawnder, in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

I guess you don’t like fiction books, movies or wrestling then?

SheDiceToday,

I think there are two types of people who describe dreams: 1) Those who are essentially saying, “Listen to this absurdity, isn’t it hilarious/weird?” and 2) those who are trying to pick up insights and think their dreams mean something. It’s the difference between reading a fantasy novel that is all about characters, world building, and a cool story, and a fantasy novel where the author is trying to make some point about the real world and how something should or should not be.

I definitely fall in line with OP’s sentiments about that second category.

Iapar, in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

When people talk about content like they talk about drugs. The whole "we need to get more people to lemmy. I am doing my part because i post daily into empty communitiys and you should to. ".

I physically cringe reading it. Fake activism to frame a addiction.

sock,

who’s talking about drugs like that?

unless u mean the American healthcare system and our all American prescription ad campaigns (that are allowed for some reason) then carry on

Nemo, in What makes video games addictive for you?

Lots of things. But if I notice a game becoming addictive for me, I stop playing. I know too many addicts.

Their health. I’ve reached the age where most of my friends have something to say about their health. It becomes a sort of one-upmanship game, where everyone has to top the person who spoke last with their afflictions. What is this, the misery olympics?

spacecowboy,

Gotta get those W’s wherever you can I guess

RBWells,

I don’t really mind, but don’t need the intimate details. People talking about it is better than having it be secret and shameful, and is something going on in the person’s life, but say what you need to and move on!

shalafi,

Medical topics become more and more important as we age. You never know when you might learn something helpful. “That happens to you too? And did the fix work?”

Hell, you might learn about something that doesn’t affect you, but you can pass it on. For example; Dad didn’t have hairy legsm but a guy in bootcamp showed him how to put on socks if you do. :)

One upmanship is boorish not matter the topic.

sock,

ive recently gotten really into diet and fitness and i admittedly talk about my health stuff alot but not negative stuff. i just spew new stuff i read about or watched/actually applied to my life.

“wow i sleep all day. gee i just woke up and its 4pm i guess i definitely have a disorder or smth, therefore its out of my control so im not gonna do anything about it except leverage it for pity”

a lot of my friends and peers do this shit. like im the weird one for eating like i do, yet im shredded and sleeping ok while yall out here struggling and tired.

pan_troglodytes, in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

languages change over time but you can easily pretend to be mute

1 - pretend while you learn the language

2 - you’re fucked, future tech cured this centuries ago

surewhynotlem, in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

I love when people talk about politics. It makes it very easy to decide whether I should be their friend or not.

Feathercrown,

Downvoters that don’t reply are cowards, say what you want to say

surewhynotlem,

They just know their politics are shitty and don’t want to be judged for it. Otherwise they’d agree.

It’s funny no matter which side we are coming from we rarely get checked on our views in our social media curated echo chambers.

In the old days we would have been pulled more to the center due to most people in real life being a little left or right of it.

I still think many really are but that doesn’t sell ads or moves people to vote like what about them outrage or think of the children boogie men do. It’s a shame how polarized we’ve become.

surewhynotlem,

First you create a problem, then you sell them the solution. It’s a great business model apparently.

AndyLikesCandy, (edited ) in Does Marijuana Make Anybody Pass Out Like Me?

I do that. I got thc-v extract isolated in a lab from someone in the industry (supposedly a bit more of a simulant), when I took it I passed out until the next day and was depressed for a week after that. There’s some poorly understood relationship here, but my doc said it confirms my (very mild) type 2 bipolar suspicion/diagnosis.

RizzRustbolt, in What is Hamas' current charter or policy documents it relies on in terms of its own hegemony (if any at all)

This video does a good job of covering the basics of the current situation.

protokaiser, in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

Weed/drugs. You do you, but shut the fuck up about it. I don’t need to know why you think it needs to be legalized and all of the “health” benefits it offers. Just smoke your weed and be happy about it.

vettnerk,

I don’t mind drugs. I just find people who make it their personality annoying.

sock, (edited )

yeah i think any problem anyone has with the law should just be ignored

shit i thought when only white heterosexual men could vote was a good thing. turns out non white heterosexual people disagreed. god thats annoying that they talk about wanting rights and stuff.

just live under threat of prosecution and be happy dumbass.
