  • Yup, after seeing a University student trying to point out the Civilian toll, I remember WWII - did everyone forget Dresden?

    Laws of war are designed to make it somehow more civilised - but the more we see war, the more we see that it really cannot be 'more civilised' and that the 'fog of war' is a bitch.

  • For sure, if someone shoots your kid, you must turn the other cheek because they're gonna dress in civilian clothes and pretend to be innocent when you shoot back. It's what these pricks have been doing to U.S. troops for years and it's the reason that civilians are more at risk when fighting animals like this.

  • There are a couple of things here... firstly you're thinking about him being with someone else - that's not just a 'breakup', that's worse.

    Anyway, I found relaxing to be difficult so I went out and did stuff - also I just met lots of friends and tried not to be on my own. During my last breakup, I had someone to meet every day after work for a week - and that put some distance which made it easier.

  • Should there also be entries to cover Ginger, Blonde, Black, or a million other specific labels which could be targeted?

    Isn't singling out Transphobia a form of predjudice? Shouild we also add to the list a few thousand other terms which some people find 'edgy'?

  • Pretty sure only the filesystem will change - so if you are synchronised as a backup, just zip up that folder and pull out what you need for the new install. I had no issues re-installing with BTRFS from ext4 and restoring a backup file a few months back.

    Also, I'd say definitely stop using these for passwords, if you use Bitwarden or something similar then you can have the same stuff for your phones/tablets/computers everywhere that don't rely on local files.

    If I start a session somewhere outside my home environment, I can pull up Bitwarden and log in with no issues - nothing saved to the browser and no conflicts between phone/desktop etc (e.g. icloud passwords clashing with ones I use on my desktop - I use Bitwarden on an iphone too).

  • That all depends on how, and the context in which it's done. My first girlfriend would spend hours tickling my back in between sessions - I never forgot those sunny days.

    Now with more aggressive tickling - it is akin to a violent attack, and my father used to tickle me until I couldn't stand it, and then push some more. Often it ended with me in tears... so with my son, sometimes I'll grab a foot and start tickling it like mad - but I have a MUCH shorter cutoff time so that it ends with him laughing.

    So it's not simple - but consent is a huge issue.

  • So really, it's not just me that found him to be producing smarmy and careless content? My first views were of his various challenges - where they consistently 'proved' that people can't do things in an OS that they don't have experience with, which means they'd be better off doing it in a much worse OS that they used since they were kids - and therefore it's better.

    I really liked Nexus's video - though it didn't help me as I wouldn't waste time on LTT. I don't like or trust these coroporate video mills, any more than I trust Google/Youtube - they don't give a toss as long as the money flows and they didn't get sued.

  • Old news - she was taking Omega 3 capsules. Omega 3 comes from fish oil, and helps your brain develop, thus enhancing your intelligence and possibly making you more 'arty'.

    The competition refuses to accept photos enhanced by arty fish-oil intelligence.

  • Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.

    SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).

  • Sometimes there is VICARIOUS pleasure to be had - I never noticed 'schlorp schlorp' noises.

    There's a lot of truth in the adage that 'sex sells'. To imagine yourself being in the position of the person on screen is rather a guilty pleasure, enabling you to take part in 'consentual sex' with someone by simply imagining that you are the one doing the act.

  • Upvotes are useful for determining what people like and dislike so you can sort posts and comments.

    Karma is just a bad way to have someone crucified for expressing an unpopular opinion... anyone remember COVID?

    Whatever your opinion (and mine was unpopular - still is, as many Thai's STILL wear masks in the street - even if they're walking down the middle of an empty street FFS) a recent study has proven me right - the lockdown did sweet FA (maybe a 1% reduction in deaths from COVID, but an increase from 1.5% to 40% in mental disorders reported in 18-45 year old people and MASSIVE economic and educational damage.

  • Hell yeah, bring on a bit of nude pussy!!!!

  • When you need a bit more, there are a couple of ways you can do a quick search/copy/paste as new jokes/memes pop up and you get votes for the Lolz. Easy to farm a couple of hundred or more each time.

    However, by talking sense in r/Thailand (i.e. from a perspective of someone who actually LIVES here) and call out stupid bullshit posts from wannabes (people who know everything about a country after a week's holiday in a whore hole) and you'll get a hundred downvotes in ten seconds.

    Karma is crap.

  • Not really - as the weeks and months go by, people will gravitate... and individual groups can update their names/descriptions if they become aware of a similar instance.

  • To begin with, I'd stop her using the YouTube website logged in.

    Set her up with Inoreader - then when you find something interesting, you can visit the 'video' page and subscribe to the feed...

    If you log her out, that will mean she just uses it without logging in - which works ok for feeds. She can browse, but it's fresh.

    Just a few suggestions that work for me - via RSS feed (not subscribed in Youtube):

    • Juicy Life
    • Sci Show
    • Simonscat
    • FailArmy
    • Daily Dose
    • Vlad Vexler
    • Big Think

    With inoreader it's a simple task to mark all items in a folder as read if you want to skip them. Also, with the inoreader account you can log in remotely at any browser, then you can find stuff you think is cool and subscribe - then that will show up in her feeds.

    Not only video/youtube.

    I love this site, I found a couple of dozen and added them in pyradio app so I've always got interesting listening when I don't want to stare at the screen.

  • Oh, ok - I missed something.

    I started by looking at BeeHaw from a link - but couldn't get in.

    Then Lemmy.ml, which promptly failed to do much of anything, I actually made 5 accounts with the same username in Bitwarden (just join, then search up my BendyLemmy and 'auto-fill and save'...).

    When Lemmy.world stopped responding (last week I also got tons of errors with Lemmy.ml) I just took a back seat, did something else, then spotted several 'upgraded!!!' posts in my feeds.

  • Please help, I can't for the life of me work out how to Sign Up!!!

    GTFO!

    Please, anyone that dumb - force them to stay on Reddit. Don't let them in!!!!!

  • I gave my wife a ton of those when she was pregnant, now my son's a genius painter!

    He’s got arty-fish-oil intelligence.
