dingus,

I am likely asexual as well and I only had a sex related dream maybe once in my lifetime. Never had sex either, although I’m not necessarily totally opposed to eventually trying it.

dingus,

Worth noting that it’s totally normal to see a lot more of them if you’re looking at a bright blue sky. That’s when they’ll be more apparent.

Just imagine sitting down and eating five fucking dozen eggs to start your day. Gaston is insane.

Maybe a hot take, but I actually DO get why even adults like the theming of Disney World/land and like to visit it so much. The theming is just so intricately done that it’s honestly very impressive and great to look at and just take in. When you hear about the way some of these art pieces were designed it just makes it that much more amazing imo.

But why are some of these people obsessed with the people in costumes that are clearly meant for toddlers? I don’t marvel at some sweaty tween in a weird furry costume. I don’t get it.

Your keyboard should have two nubbins on it so you can easily find the F key without looking (it puts your hands in the home row). If your keyboard doesn’t have these, then either it’s 100 years old and someone is typing with the force of a gorilla, or you have an extremely strange keyboard.

The real tricky part are the less used symbol keys.

dingus,

I wouldn’t have befriended my one coworker so I wouldn’t be so upset when they left

dingus,

It kind of does when they move across the country

dingus,

Idk…they aren’t chronically online like I am. They lead a very busy life and probably didn’t even like me much to begin with.

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

dingus,

With all the die hard Linux enthusiasts in the fediverse, it’s nice to see such a sane and reasonable take. Linux is great for hobbyists and for specific use cases and I’ve been there, but it doesn’t really make sense for the general consumer who just wants shit to work.

dingus,

Did she change her name to that?? Because what the heck lol

When I worked as a cashier in a grocery store many years ago, someone gave me some checks to pay their bill. I didn’t even look at the damn thing, just inputted the numbers it said and started running them through the check machine. It seemed to go through the machine correctly.

But just then the manager ran over and stopped the transaction. They were fake checks.

I guess silly me assumed things would just automatically not go through in the modern age, but I guess it showed me that I really have no idea how check machines like that work.

Still don’t, but I don’t work that job anymore so it doesn’t matter.

dingus,

Yeah I’ll bet ours just stamped it or something! Surprised more people didn’t try to pull one over on my dumb ass haha

dingus,

I feel like I need glasses to see this meme

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

When I was a kid, I swear the lyrics sounded like “later we’ll have some fucking pie”, but it’s “later we’ll have some pumpkin pie”.

dingus,

Lmao I also heard it as that and was so confused at wtf it was supposed to actually be

dingus,

Can’t say I remember. It’s one of those songs that has been played every year for ages upon ages. Maybe around 10 or something.

dingus,

What does “the browser client” mean? I can see the gifs of the person you are responding to both when using Brave browser to access lemmy.world, and on my phone using Voyager.

dingus, (edited )

What are you browsing on? I’m also wondering if it could be a federation issue unrelated to whatever client you’re using.

dingus,

Yeah, I had to switch dentists because of a move, and my current dentist won’t stop recommending me braces.

“It’s not just cosmetic. It will help the functionality and longevity of your teeth.” I mean, my teeth aren’t absolutely perfect, but they function and look fine to me. I have only ever had one other dentist mention that as a suggestion forever ago when I was a kid, and they didn’t keep harping in about it.

It makes me super suspicious about it because the last dentist I had never mentioned a thing about braces, and my current one keeps bringing it up unprompted. My current one also tried to sell me a $300 toothbrush.

Get a second opinion.

dingus,

Yeah, I don’t mean to say that it’s a total scam…just that it’s ok to want to weigh your options to see what is worth it and what isn’t. Especially because braces ain’t cheap. And if someone doesn’t want it, then it’s appreciated to stop harping on them about it every single time.

I honestly have no idea what model the toothbrush was, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it had that sort of feature. Nice to have for some, but not something I seem to have a need for.

I think it would be easier to go to thebank now and then to exchange some of your $100 for lower value bills than to do the opposite.

Besides, if there are places that don’t take bills less than $20, there are a lot of places that aren’t going to let you pay with only $1 bills. I can’t imagine a car dealership letting you do that. Or if you want to buy a home, etc.
