  • I has been used figuratively for literal centuries.

    It does bug me when the context needs clarity and the person won't clarify which way they mean it.

  • Yes, the one exception which is based on safety due to the massive difference in speeds.

  • "I have to track the batteries as well as the time spent, and a ticket is the way to do that."

  • So if there were scrambled eggs and caviar on the table. You say pass the eggs and someone without hesitation hands over the caviar are they wrong?

  • Are pepperoni and salami sausages?

    It doesn't change your sandwich example since they still fit if they are sausages, but sausage is another example of a name that is consistent except for all the times it isn't.

  • Dead I am the rat

    Feast upon the cat

  • "Pull up by the bootstraps"aka bootstrapping was a phrase originally coined to mean something being literally impossible and is now used as a tool to shame the poor for not overcoming nearly impossible social barriers.

    "That's just how they are" is always used to excuse bullies for being bullies.

  • Sorry

    Jump
  • Sorry for the late response.

  • What do you mean hitting children teaches them that hitting is acceptable?

    Next they will tell us that beating our wives for dinner being late is unacceptable!

  • The same thing applies to game cartridges that the OP was collecting. As time goes on and the pool of interest rises and the number of items are reduced, prices will skyrocket because of supply and demand.

  • Honestly only having two body types is the lazy part, no matter what the two types are. The best solution would be a variety of heights, weights, shoulder, waist, and hip sliders with boobs and butts and whatever else as add ons to the body shape. That should cover everyone as long as there is plenty of range on each option.

    Unless everyone is in armor, in which case two or three gender neuteal body types are fine because boobs and butts won't be noticeable through armor anyway. Height is pretty much all that is different if everyone in the armor is in decent shape and the armor is made to fit a range of people.

  • Mine has a stupid "you are responsible for the operation of this vehicle" every time it starts up. The absolute stupidest lawyer notice ever.

    Like, are you sure the driver is supposed to drive? Thanks!

  • Heck, I’d even take it a step further and have it include basic system specs for each review since Steam already gets that info.

    That would get complex for games that are played for lengthy periods of time and across different builds. Basic specs as of the review would be cool though.

  • Yeah, it is a safety tool.

    I could disable it for a site that doesn't have anything to block, but then leaving it on has no downsides. Like I don't really need it for lemmy when zero things are blocked, but why turn it off when there is always the possibility that an instance could be hacked?

  • My rental car I have right now has a huge obnoxious pop up and alarm when shutting off the vehicle saying to not forget your kids. Technology can solve this issue easily.

    Constant warnings when they aren't needed just leads to them being ignored with everything else. My in law's car had one that went off every time, even when the backseat was empty. It was as easy to ignore as all of the other pointless warnings that car had.
