So it is to avoid confusion when they write “PARIS, FRANCE” in films when they show the Eiffel tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Notre-Dame and the Louvre in establishing shots. Good to know 👍
In this image the ask takes up only half the page. You need to have a non-consensual video taking up the top half while the cookie ask takes up the bottom half, and then on top of both the subscription ask takes up the whole page.
And some Twitter embeds with a little X logo in the top right meant to look like a close button, but it’s actually a link to the site. I swear, these internet billionaires have become rich with stupid little “tricks” that shouldn’t fool anyone, but apparently fool most people.
That Firefox logo was simplified, but not oversimplified. Even with a very small icon size you can still tell it’s a fox that is (on?) fire. The Firefox Family logo is oversimplified, just being a swoosh, basically.
So I’ve been accused of sabotaging relationships, and maybe this is that, but i feel justified.
I’d been dating a dude for about 3 months when we decided to go for a drive through this really scenic area near where we live. There’s a mill, and a pretty stream. About 30 minutes in, he finishes his gatorade, rolls down the passenger window, and hucks the bottle into the stream.
I made him get out and get it. Told him he could get the bottle or walk home. He got the bottle, and there were no more dates after that. I feel like I did the right thing.
I absolutely hate people who litter. There’s simply no excuse for it. If you can bring the item when it’s full, it’s certainly just as easy to carry it with you when it’s empty.
“But there’s no trash can here” So? Carry it with you and go look for one, you lazy bum.
And throwing trash into nature / scenic spots is not just bad for nature, it also shows a complete disregard for others who might want to enjoy that area too.
Yes! Especially considering we were in a car! Like, for real, you didnt even have to carry it! Just throw it in the floorboard for all i care, but dont you dare throw it in a stream!
I really, really liked him, but after that, that’s all i could think about. Just instant turn off.
I am totally with you. I used to make my passengers pick up ten cigarette butts if they threw one out. It happen several times and unfortunately they didn’t have trouble finding ten. Also…hmu in the dm’s if you’re still single.
I use a blocklist in ublock origin, the box for cookie notices isn’t ticked by default but once it was I haven’t seen cookie notices for a while. Can’t get my consent if your request mysteriously never makes it :P
Every time. All 13 menu options, “legitimate interest”, hidden tick boxes, big fat “YES” button and small grey “confirm my choices” button… ironically, if they didn’t try so hard, I think I wouldn’t care as much.
There was an update to a word game on my phone, so they made me choose between accepting everything or clicking through 81 vendors (and there was no ‘reject all’ button). I went with the latter, and every single vendor’s ‘consent’ was automatically off and ‘legitimate interest’ on. That made me think: “what’s included in the legitimate interest bit?”. There was a question mark circle next to it, so I clicked:
How does legitimate interest work?
Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.
Maybe I got it wrong, but to me it felt like “yeah, we will just simply do some things regardless and slap a ‘legitimate interest’ sticker on it, even though it falls under the same ‘we want to sell your data’ category.”
This mental checklist of things that point to me having adhd is growing uncomfortably large. Is there anything that can point to someone not having adhd?
In my experience my adhd makes normal people things harder, like yes sometimes everyone needs a minute to process information, sometimes everyone forgets why they walked into a room, sometimes you’ll get way too excited on a subject and so on
But you know everyone also pees but when you pee 60 times a day you usually see a doctor
I keep coming across relatable posts followed by someone saying it’s ADHD and it’s making me paranoid whether it’s just good ol internet spreading fake news or memes or if I actually have ADHD. I don’t think I have ADHD but I have to question myself every time this happens.
All things that are symptoms of ADHD are also things that everyone experiences sometimes. It’s when they become detrimental to daily life that it might be ADHD.
Think of it this way. Many ‘normal’ people can exhibit different symptoms that get associated with ADHD. With people who are diagnosed with ADHD, they must pass a certain threshold number of these symptoms and severity.
It’s all a spectrum. Our minds, in some ways, are brute forcing ways to approach survival. Each individual’s brain settles on some patterns that they determine work for them, and when you look at the collective, we can end up with very different ways of thinking but they are all based on balancing the number of neurons devoted to various tasks like visual processing, audio processing, social skills, various physical skills, etc. ADHD is based on how attention is tuned, both how long you can pay attention to something you might not want to and also how your attention is divided between tasks you’re focusing on vs other things going on around you.
Personally, I don’t really give that much attention to things going on around me. I’m usually either actively doing something or lost in my thoughts. This has the advantage of being able to think through things, but at the cost of missing things around me, which can include someone addressing me. It’s pretty much an always on thing. I do hear it and my brain can often process it after I realize I’ve been addressed. But I’d guess that most people are like that when they are actively concentrating their full attention on a task. Or thinking, I’m sure non-ADHD people do that, too, but the balance between time spent focusing on thoughts vs processing general surroundings might be different.
Though tbh I have no real idea. My entire experience is inside my own head and I can only guess at how different things are from brain to brain (and to what level other organs contribute to that, since they’ve all got neurons, and chemistry that they all play a role in can have huge effects, too).
The actual name is auditory processing disorder, and I do actually have that, as it’s often comorbid with ADHD. But your version is funnier and made me laugh.
I have a hearing defect that affects how I hear speech. It sometimes takes a second or two until the second level support in my brain could parse what was said.
