Have you ever actually called a non-emergency line?
It’s usually just a phone tree telling you what part of the city’s website to go to. If you’re lucky enough to talk to a real person, the moment you start telling OP’s story, they will tell you to hang up and call 911 if you think there’s an emergency.
The non-emergency line isn’t 911-lite - don’t call it because you don’t know if the situation is an emergency or not…
35 Bitcoins back when they were $3/coin.
I bought some camera equipment off of some short-lived Bitcoin eBay clone, and decided my credit card was easier.
Did a little bit of buying/selling since for a mild profit, before swearing off all Blockchain tech as useless.
Yeah, and that person, unlike me, is evil, because they are able to see human lives as pawns in a political game.
Yes and no.
I own a nice pair of studio headphones, and monitor speakers. I have a large collection of vinyls and a hard drive full of FLAC files. High quality audio is great.
But I also don’t care about quality all the time. I wear Bluetooth bone-conductor headphones most of the day because they are comfortable and open-ear. I can passively listen to music and remain alert to my surroundings and I like that.
But there are noticeable differences between things like MP3 and FLAC, digital and analog, and different kinds of speakers and headphones that I can appreciate when I am actively listening to music.
I completely changed my lifestyle to reduce my part and put significant effort into it.
This is the source of your problem. Individual action will cost you a lot while accomplishing virtually nothing. Donating some small part of your income to green nonprofits has a greater impact, at a much lower cost to your quality of life.
A climate disaster is going to make us all make sacrifices we don’t want to make eventually, no matter what you sacrifice now. If these are the final days of a healthy planet, don’t deprive yourself while the billionaires are taking joyrides in their gigayachts. Just accept that this horror wasn’t your fault, because if everyone lived with your likely very small footprint, this probably wouldn’t be happening.
Sorry, I’m completely immovable on the stance that war is bad. Never once has mass human slaughter made the world a better place.
I understand that, like everything, there are those who disagree. Moral relativism aside, those people are wrong, in the sense that I have zero tolerance for supporting campaigns of mass death.
Smaller is better. People who want giant monolithic corporate social networks get what they signed up for.
My favorite parallel between Mastodon and Bluesky is that Mastodon foolishly decided to call posts “Toots” (farts), and the Bluesky community is following suit by calling their posts “Skeets” (cum).
Rewatching Good Burger a week after I watched “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” was a mistake. I could have remained nostalgia blind about the guy who plays the Good Burger General Manager, but no, I had to go and learn all the horrible dark shit he did.
Exactly this. There’s still some level of understandability to not wanting more frequent visitors, but given that expectations have been set appropriately, any further objection is just selfish.
The part where she is afraid that her partner will spend too much time with their parents is a big red flag by itself though. That seems inappropriately possessive.
At this point, OP’s partner has established that they don’t want frequent house visitors, and they don’t want their partner spending a disproportionate amount of time away from the home. That is workable, but any further disagreement really needs to happen later, if and only if one of these boundaries is being crossed to a demonstrable deficit to the relationship.
And the boundary for “spends too much time with parents” has to be something nuanced. Staying a week at your parents’ to avoid a fight with your partner at home is a problem. Staying a week at your parents’ while your mom recovers from surgery is basic familial responsibility.
Ah, the old Lemmy Switcheroo.
I was briefly a Hexbear member pre-federation, and while I don’t have any proof, I left because that was exactly the vibe I got from the place.
The glasses cleaner my optometrist gives me is alcohol-based. It won’t do anything to the lenses.
It won’t dissolve the coating either, fwiw.
The problem is with the prescription lenses, genius…
I don’t think this is how dating works.
lmao, you are so close to understanding what is being said to you, yet clearly so far away…
I’ll just respond to your take:
The idea to earn for a living doesn’t seem nice.
For you it doesn’t. For others, mind your own business.
sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other.
For you it should. For others, mind your own business.
money should not be the purpose.
For you it shouldn’t. For others, mind your own business.
If you have any desire at all to weigh in or or take a position on the consensual sex lives of other adults, you’re just revealing how little you respect the freedom and autonomy of other people. You’re just revealing your desire to control others.
People don’t appreciate enough that in Vietnam you get to say stuff costs hundreds of thousands of dongs.
Give it time. Next Monday or Tuesday is probably the day to buy.
Because regardless of whatever data Suno trained their model on, the stuff it makes sounds like shit and won’t replace real music, just like Midjourney isn’t replacing real art.
That’s all newsletters. I promise.
Now you’ll have a pile of emails you can actually parse, and all the newsletters clogging up your inbox will stop arriving in the future.
Do this every time your emails start to get away from you and you’ll be golden.
