  • That's optimistic thinking about OW2, people clearly wanted OW1 to continue.

  • You know how it goes, fashion goes in cycles and so does everything else. Plus, new idiots are always born and somehow they manage to survive to the age where they do some of the most blatantly stupid shit...

  • No more sweating in your house! Congrats man. Wish I had a proper ac, but I live in a rental apartment in a "high rise" (it only has like four or five floors).

  • people even shortened to Insta

    Everyone shortens it to insta, Facebook gets shortened to fb or face, youtube to yt or tube. Very few websites don't get shortened, and those are usually the ones with short names, sometimes even monosyllabic names. Twitch, you can't shorten that (at least no in any reasonable way), tiktok, and so on.

    The rest of your comment stands, I just took umbrage with your implication that Brazil is somehow different in shortening names of apps and platforms. They might do it more often than others, but they're not unique or special just for doing it.

  • I dunno what instance you're on, but I have allowed NSFW on lemmy.world and rarely have I seen porn. Thankfully a lot of it is over at lemmynsfw.com instead so I can see stuff labeled NSFW here without being flooded with porn. Unless .world defederated from lemmysnfw at some point. I haven't paid attention to much meta news and who has defederated from who.

  • Wow... I get that this is shitposting, but even shitposting has limits

  • Or that use old machines because they work and their entire workflow is based on it. Like, I remember someone (might have been LGR... it was some retro computing youtuber at least) mention that they knew a print shop or something that was still using like win98 or 2000 for their entire production (as in, handling the printing, setting the size etc.) and maybe even the sales terminal...

    And I've read horror stories of places like machining shops running their cnc setup off of a win98 machine because the cnc router or whatever it's called just won't work over anything but parallel port, or that the software needed for that specific router doesn't run on newer machines.

  • STFU with this transphobic BS.

  • I'm not defending the US police, like I said ACAB. But most if not all of these rioters also deserve to feel the might of the judges hammer for their actions, so yes, assholes all around.

    I'm Finnish and haven't even ever visited the US, so in that regard I have no horse in this race. But, Trumpers and their ilk are a detriment to what passes as a peaceful and lawful society in the US, and Jan Sixers even more so. While I don't wish most Trumpers harm, and instead wish that they'd somehow manage to grow a functional brain, there is no saving the Jan Sixers, so I wish upon them the full might of the law for their actions. Especially because it seems that certain right wingers in Europe, Finland included, seem to either look up to Trump or at least view him as an useful idiot and something of a guidebook on how to weasel their way into power.

    Finland recently elected a rather right winged government, but thankfully the majority party is Kokoomus, who are more of the economic right and thus are hampered by the other parties, like Perussuomalaiset who are a right-wing populist party, that they have to form a government with. So it seems kinda hopeful that they won't be able to screw up too badly, though compared to the previous government, this might be an upgrade in some regards...

    So, yeah, to sum this up, fuck the american cops and also fuck the rioters. There is no "lesser evil" to choose from here, just two different flavors of evil and shit.

  • We already have a name for that. It's this revolutionary thing called "video", which this fucking is because it's a god damn mp4. MP4 is one of the most common video formats.

  • While ACAB, these assholes deserve everything the US justice system throws at them and then some.

  • Ima be honest with ya, a lot of the older memes are better and funnier than a lot of the random shit today that gets labeled as memes.

  • whatever you like and have available.

  • Man, fuck that noise. You called for equality, if in a rather aggravated fashion...

  • I don't get why you would be hesitant at a discounted lasering... Discounts are not the same thing as a cheaper option that costs as much as the discounted price. Just compare it with anything else you're able to get on a discount. A phone, for example. Would you think that the 500$ won't perform as well if sold for 250$? No, it will perform just the same. But a phone that costs that 250$ from the onset, that is going to usually be worse than the 500$ one bought at half off.

    So, a proper lasik surgery costs 1500$ (A price I found with a quick google search). That's a bit steep. But your wife gets lucky and gets the half-off discount. Great, you got 1500$ worth of service for 750$. Now, a lasik surgery that is being offered at the 750$ normally, that would raise a few eyebrows for sure.

  • Because back in the olden days you could just hold down the physical power button to force a phone to shut down, same as you can do on computers still. This bypasses the frozen software and forces the phone to shut down so you can reboot it.

  • It's not like OP is saying you have to wear a skirt, just that they personally feel bad for men who have to wear pants. No one is forcing you to wear a skirt, lol.

    This is just such an odd comment to me.
