Sharp dressed men 😎 (C#)

Please kill me.

Yes and no.

When I was in my early 40s I lost over 100 pounds. Overall, yes my mental health was greatly improved.

Unfortunately, my perspective changed and at some point I realized that I'd reverted to behaviors that I hadn't exhibited since the last time I was fit (late 20s). I started being more judgemental of people who are overweight, and I even started wondering if I could do better than my wife. Awful stuff. I came really close to making some terrible mistakes.

YMMV, but for me it was dangerous territory. Thankfully everything worked out ok, but I'm fortunate that my wife is both patient and forgiving.

I'd suggest you read about the Irish and the Bengali. What economic system did those famines happen under?

Nice one ty ty

Ooo excellent suggestion ty ty

Ah yes ty ty! That is more or less what I had in mind. I may post my little statue picture in there. :D

I'm not sure I understand. Could you give me a concrete example?

I could kiss you. I'm very sorry that I doubted you, Mr. Cat. I don't know when they added this but I guess I never saw it bc I expected the options to be in the same order in the iOS version.

Maybe it's a collaboration with David Cage.

Ok. Show me a screen shot. In the iOS version, the option is called "Playback in feeds" and appears at the bottom of the General section in Settings. This option does not exist in the Android version that I have. As I stated, I am a YouTube subscriber.

I especially hate the auto-play in feed thing in the Android YouTube app. Threre's no audio but it makes me feel jumpy and irritable bc I'm not in control. The iOS version has an option to turn it off, which must be an Apple requirement. It makes no sense not to offer the option to YouTube subscribers since we don't see ads. Google is just wasting their bandwidth. Workaround is to start a video and pause it, but that's stupid. Just let me turn the shit off.

Edit: I'm a dumbass and possibly a jackass. They added this at some point. Thanks @pete_the_cat@lemmy.world for setting me straight.

In terms of headlines that make my blood run cold, this one is right up there with Microsoft signals renewed interest in Windows.

Edit: I discovered yesterday that this feature is already in the Roku app and it's actually kind of nice. Now I'm even more suspicious. 😆

Unsure if the person to whom the choice is being offered is Adam Jensen or Gordon Freeman. 🤔

Arnold has had his problems but he isn't MAGA and he really, REALLY doesn't like Nazis.

Edit: (Additional context) IIRC this is the video he released after Charlottesville. Absolutely worth 12 minutes of your life.

🎶You put the feature in, you take the feature out, you put the feature in and shake it all about. 🎶

I've been using the Panorama Tab Groups add-on for years, which (as I recall) is pretty similar to the native stuff they inexplicably removed back in the day. It's currently unmaintained and a little janky in spots but perfectly usable.

This sounds fairly plausible. Depressing, but plausible.

Hang in there and try not to let the bastards get you down.

DST SUX. Otherwise ok for a Monday. How are you?

I'm fascinated that at the time of this writing, this post has 17 upvotes and 41 downvotes. The article is consistent with other reporting I've seen recently on this topic and it would seem to fit the community. Why all the downvotes?
