Only Human - Memphis May Fire (feat. AJ Channer)

(Note, the linked music video has a seizure warning at the start of it)

I used to justify it with “I’ve had a shit day, I deserve to be able to have something for the convenience” - not to mention, I don’t have a car so realistically it was “Do I want fast food or not”.

Then I started to realize that every day tends to be a bad day for me, due to a multitude of reasons. I live paycheck to paycheck (which is why I don’t have a car in the first place) and the amount I was spending on takeout was way too high.

Now the only time I do so is on Fridays because my workplace lets us spend $25 on their tab just for joining the weekly staff meeting. Aside from that, I might order a takeout once, maybe even twice, during a pay period as a “congrats for making it through last month” but I’d like to even stop doing that ideally.

Realistically, a lot of relationships are “situational” (especially at that age) - but that doesn’t erase the fact that they existed in the first place.

Hmm, well the railing of my bed would well… be railing me.

I mean, sure - why not? Like Ada said, if it isn’t going to cause any negative impact on me, there isn’t a reason for me to object that I can think of.

I would be a bit concerned about the hazards of drawing a lot of attention to yourself on the internet, because of the vile people on the internet - but aside from a brief note about it (if they asked for my opinion), that’s really all I’d have to say on the matter.

Ah I see, that’s unfortunate then. For what its worth, I still think the bot is a great idea for discoverability and bridging the two services together! I hadn’t seen it before since I usually have bot users muted and happened to see this comment chain while logged out.

I’ve given it a follow from my Mastodon account since I do tend to miss quite a few cool Lemmy posts it seems, and I think it’ll help me find some communities in general that I’ll want to subscribe to from over here.

I wonder if perhaps wrapping the majority of the text in a spoiler would work. Though I don’t know if that translates over to Mastodon (if not, it might look a bit funky on that side).

Unfortunately this tends to apply to most of the “I’m not but…” phrases that people say.

I feel like most people (assuming you’re not on Reddit) don’t really care, so long as you’re not being spammy with them (or not just reply with only an emoji).

Every now and then I’ll tack one on at the end of a comment if I think that my tone might come of a bit more passive aggressive than I intended it to be, but most of the time I just see it as “I might need to rewrite this so that it doesn’t come off that way” instead.

And if you really want even more barebones, you can just do git init --bare into a directory on your VPS, and then git clone user@your.ip.here:path/to/the/directory and use git as you would normally!

I love that the brain still relies on real-life data on the world it creates

I’ve heard that the brain isn’t really capable of creating unique faces, so when you see people in a dream - even if they seem random to you, they’re probably just someone you saw in passing (on the streets, online, etc) which is interesting!

Realistically there isn’t a way to reliably test that theory, but it definitely makes sense to me at least.

Just to note in general to add onto this, it may take a couple of days for instances to update once 0.19.5 comes out - especially since I believe AFAIK it can break third party applications using the API if they’re not updated. So some instances may wait for the bigger apps to update, before they update.

And of course, in general most instances like to test the update on say, a replica, just to ensure that there is no breakage during an update.

Yep… I was about to say “Oh just watch me try not to!”

I get the feeling closing the lid has the same effect as putting your thumb on top of a hose…

I never got the chance to use NeXTSTEP and that sounds great! Would be an excellent middle ground and is definitely one of those “I didn’t know I needed this until now” sort of thing!

Websites that do not let me copy/paste my password in from my password manager, and break the auto-fill functionality.

Additionally, the ones that make you change the password every sixty days because they don’t let me copy and paste the newly generated one in… It just feels like they’re begging me to try to use an insecure one.

About the bonus peeve, it’s definitely a double edged sword for me. I know exactly what you mean, and I hate those moments.

But at the same time, one thing I’ve come to dislike on GNOME is when I click a link in Thunderbird expecting it to open right away, and instead get a “Mozilla Firefox is ready” notification. It makes it feel a bit clunkier/slower when I’ve come to expect that interaction to be instant (and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s precisely why it hasn’t changed in most places).

So now instead of being bothered by one case, I get bothered by both cases lol. I wish there was more of a middle-ground, like middle clicking the link (or holding control/some other modifier key) would bypass that notification and just directly open/focus it.

Not the original commenter - but it’s definitely not in mine at least…

I haven’t checked my desktop though, perhaps it is there.

Assuming they’re tagged appropriately by the person who setup the account, you can also just disable seeing bot content in your account settings.

Yep, I worked five years of Internet tech support - I still do not like taking one-on-one calls with people. I’m usually fine with being in a group call generally, because the focus isn’t on me to drive the whole thing forward all the time, along with a few other reasons.

Not to mention, it’s not even just on a physiological level either - it wasn’t really all that long ago where I was on a pay-as-you-go phone plan where phone calls absolutely would add up if I spoke with everyone over the phone instead of text (which no one in my circle uses regular SMS so texting basically didn’t cost me anything).
