Wow that made me recoil in horror and awkwardness. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/205cfe4a-6fbc-4f45-9159-0749d291b61d.png

Catoblepas , to lemmyshitpost in Dude almost lost his life

lol, don’t ask questions you don’t want answered.

victorz ,

Should be able to ask a question without being sexually assaulted though, right? Bro tried to kiss that little boy.

Catoblepas ,

“Little boy” (dude looks early 20s) started asking for information about his sexuality and sex life on the street while filming him. He’s lucky he didn’t get his ass kicked, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was fishing for content like that (or at least someone getting offended by it).

Not aware of any jurisdiction where attempting to kiss someone and stopping immediately when they say no is sexual assault, but maybe you can enlighten me.

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

So, no, then. got it.

Catoblepas ,

I think there’s probably a reason you believe a queer black man is guilty of sexual assault for doing something that isn’t sexual assault in any jurisdiction, but maybe you can show me evidence of somewhere the law considers that sexual assault?

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

I think you’re reaching since I didn’t even say that specifically. I said it was aggressive because it was. Period. You don’t think it is, fine; your opinion

Catoblepas ,

Should be able to ask a question without being sexually assaulted though, right?

[answer]

So no, then

If you didn’t want people to read that as you saying he sexually assaulted someone then you wrote your reply in the most confusing way possible 🤷‍♂️

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

You dodged the question, you’re the one being weird here.

victorz ,

It’s at least sexual harassment. And yes, the age difference here looks like the interviewee trying to kiss a little boy.

Catoblepas ,

Why are you so intent on insisting that what seems to be an adult man is actually a little boy? Kinda weird.

Also weird to say that’s sexual harassment but not going up to strangers and filming them while questioning them about the details of how they have sex.

victorz ,

Why are you so intent on focusing on the age rather than the sexual harassment?

ook_the_librarian ,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

That wasn’t sexual assault. If you want a lesson to take away for what he actually did wrong here: he attacked the reason for rejection. It’s a natural thing to do. But that’s really the only thing wrong here.

Going in for a peck is fine. Planting one before they react wouldn’t be. But taking rejection gracefully is nearly impossible. Let’s try to be better.

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

That was aggressive and scary to watch. Not sure why you’re downplaying it.

ook_the_librarian ,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

It was just a dude answering questions he was asked. I don’t want to hang out with the guy.

I get a little worried about calling something like that “sexual assault”. It plays into the “can’t say anything anymore” crowd’s hands.

erev ,
@erev@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I agree he came on strong but it seems that’s his vibe in the scene and he was mostly respectful when rejected. i think some people’s biases are showing

TrickDacy ,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

If the victim was a woman I think any decent person would see it. Instead since he’s a man, somehow he’s expected not to be intimidated. I absolutely would’ve been

MaoZedongers ,

It was just a guy answering questions until he grabbed him and went for a kiss, don’t pretend that didn’t happen.

victorz ,

It was at least sexual harassment.

teamevil ,

Pretty sure the proper term is twink.

victorz ,

Term for what?

Yeah…methinks someone’s compensating for some major insecurities 😄

Blackmist , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

Firefox: Video can’t be played because the file is corrupt.

Chrome: Plays audio only.

Why are we hosting things on such shonky shit?

Fades ,

Shockingly, it plays for me (both a/v) on iOS (in the voyager app)

There is no audio outside of the sound of pages turning and the machine beeping in between so you aren’t missing much in this case

Zink ,

🤘🏻 Voyager app!

I checked and it works fine for me too. In voyager, obviously.

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

What OS are you on? The video plays fine for me in Firefox on both Windows and Android.

Also I think the codec is more likely to blame than the hosting provider.

Blackmist , (edited )

Windows 10.

When I download it I can play it in VLC, and according to MediaInfo HEVC encoding.

Is HEVC support not included by default? Chrome should support it, and Firefox shouldn’t support it at all according to the compatibility charts.

Maybe there’s some site bullshittery going on and the site is giving out different versions of the file to different people based on region or something. The file it gives me is 2,661,216 bytes. Is that what you get?

Edit: Works in Edge, although feel like I now have to go wash my hands after firing that up.

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

Ok I take it back. It plays in Firefox on Android, but not on Windows. Also on Android, it didn’t play at first, I had to refresh. I don’t know what’s going on lol.

I kinda doubt catbox.moe is doing any kind of smart distribution. It’s a pretty simple file hosting site.

Blackmist ,

Found it. My Chrome has “Hardware-accelerated video decode” disabled. Apparently there’s no software fall back there, so it just claims no knowledge of them.

Kind of sucks that Firefox can’t play them, something to do with licensing.

Bravebellows , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

There should be a law that should any book go out of print, to be digitized and made available online. Publishers shouldn’t dictate which books are allowed to be consumed once they allow it out of print when digital versions cost next to nothing to make available for a nominal price.

That goes for authors owning the copyright, as well.

echindod ,

And limited to 25 years. This 100 years is bull shit.

escew , to lemmyshitpost in Dude almost lost his life

I can see the appeal of responding absurdly when asked an absurd question in public, on camera.

Sensitivezombie , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

Ah, this takes me back to my college times when I scanned textbooks one page at a time at the library because I couldn’t afford to buy one and renting a book was scarce

athaki , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

jpreston2005 , to lemmyshitpost in Dude almost lost his life

I mean. dude is obvi standing with a bunch of other queens outside a gay bar. Nobody was in danger, and everyone acting like this was so crazy, is probably just reacting to the fact that he was asking a big black dude. What, y’all saying black guys are inherently more violent or something? get tf outta here with that racist BS

erev ,
@erev@lemmy.world avatar

that’s what im questioning. if he was a more flamboyant queer person would people have laughed it off? based on the comments i suspect they would have. it’s the fact he was “aggressive”; which i agree he may have been a bit forward and i wouldn’t recommend opening like that but he was also mostly respectful when rejected. I don’t think he’s trying to hurt anyone nor was anyone in any danger, he just probably knows the type of people he likes and they probably know him.

MaoZedongers ,

going for a kiss was the crazy part, that ain’t ok.

jpreston2005 ,

From my perspective, looked like he was goin for a kiss on the cheek. I dunno. the whole thing seems a lot more innocuous than is being portrayed here in the comments and most definitely in the title. “Dude almost lost his life?” Dude talked to a gay guy and almost got kissed on the cheek

While this is egregious, why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

I didn’t know that was even possible. This is a wholly unexpected mode of behavior.

Lifecoach5000 ,

You know they used to say you could have it your way. If I want KFC from BK they should live up to their end of the bargain and oblige.

Steve ,

Jesus Christ Marie, Use the fucking app!

Chozo ,

why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

Delivery, most likely.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

For KFC chicken? In America?

Chozo ,

Yeah, most fast food places here have delivery options now, usually partnered through UberEats or GrubHub or one of those apps. At least in the cities, they do.

Otherwise, they also will typically let you order online so you can schedule it to be ready when you get there to pick it up, yourself.

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

My point is KfC chicken really isn’t the best choice these days

Chozo ,

I agree, I'm not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.

ares35 ,
@ares35@kbin.social avatar

even here in the boonies we have doordash now.. just as expensive as in the city, and just as cold whenif you get it.

and i think you can still pay a one-way taxi fare and have them pick up an order and deliver. it has to be ready, waiting and already paid for--they won't wait. this is the cheaper option, because you're paying menu prices. not third-party 'app' prices plus bullshit fees and surcharges. fare is about 5 bucks anywhere in town.

567PrimeMover ,

Yeah just get it from the gas station like a normal person

dan ,

I went to a Krispy Krunchy Chicken at a gas station while travelling a few months ago… Gas station chicken has no business being that good.

Maeve ,

Omg especially when they let it sit and it’s extra spicy!

possiblylinux127 ,

God no, that’s a great way to get food poising

Maeve ,

They’re graded like any other restaurant.

possiblylinux127 ,

To each there own I suppose. I personally won’t do that. At least not in the US.

Maeve ,

A gas station several miles away makes amazing tasting food. I’m sure the fried chicken is fried in the cheapest transfat oil, but I’ve largely moved away from meat. I still eat it but I feel better when I restrict it. They also have baked chicken, meatloaf, etc and the veggies are slamming. And it’s not always cheaper anymore, to do it yourself, unless you catch a free ride that day and exchange your time.

const_void ,

Delivery

Wouldn’t want to have to move your body to get your artery clogging food

Maeve ,

Some of us live in rural areas with No transport, including public.

eskimofry ,

If you live in rural areas you probably have better chicken than crap from KFC, no?

possiblylinux127 ,

Then how do you go places?

Efwis ,

Walking or asking a friend if they have time, usually at a cost of some gas.

Maeve ,

Bike, walk, pay too much in time, money, effort, etc, or make friends and catch your rides when you can, understanding it may come at a mutual inconvenience.

567PrimeMover ,

If I move too much the grease doesn't congeal the way I like it

Duranie ,

An irritating number of companies make it inconvenient to just view a menu, and want you to “Start your order!” to see prices and availability. I get that certain items are regional so entering a zip code makes sense, but if I just want to look at a menu and prices to see if I even want to do business with them I shouldn’t have to create an account.

That said, for convenience purposes I’ll occasionally order food online or over the phone so it’s ready by the time I’m driving past on my way home and pick it up.

TheAlbatross ,

I often feel I’m stuck in the 90’s when it comes to ordering food. I like calling a restaurant, I like driving to pick it up myself, I like asking them shit about the menu over the phone.

I’m a human being, yo talk to me, don’t just tell me to go to the app or the website.

And before anyone beats me to it, yeah I’m angry at that cloud.

Duranie ,

Human? I thought you were an albatross. 🤨

peereboominc , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

It’s probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

Gingerlegs ,

“Optimal performance”

Steve ,

Never said who benefits from said performance

brbposting ,

Probably like 70/30 KFC/user?

Yes they want AS MUCH of your money as fast as possible… but we do want to give them money as fast as possible too.

Disconnect obviously comes at the amount and the margin. They want you to max your credit card on their soda, we want the most satisfying assorted selection with an auto-applied 100% off coupon.

There’s somewhere in the middle there. They can telemetrize their site into it taking just a few taps for you to buy their higher margin combo meals. Their deals, they can hide as best they can without them being impossible to find for those inclined (price-sensitive buyers who open the app with discounts on their mind).

After add-to-cart, it’s in their interests to optimize checkout as best they can… well, with a side of last-minute upsells of course.

Here’s a question: would opt-out first party telemetry be a decent status quo? If you’re not privacy conscious (certainly not enough to pay cash in person), you don’t go to settings to reject trackers… but you still get to benefit from the average user being spied on just a little by internal teams & consultants to improve site/app flows. Don’t think I’m 100% anti-tracker in any case. (I’m definitely medium privacy-conscious as well as price-conscious, so I look for those opt-outs and coupons :) )

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Sir, this is a KFC.

Cethin ,

Yeah, this warning is pretty clear about that ironically. You aren’t allowed to have secrets, only they are. It’s pretty on the nose, but I guess it could be misunderstood. That’s probably how it got there. The person told to create this wanted to give a warning, but they couldn’t straight up say it.

Annoyed_Crabby , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.

No longer a secret:
The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:

11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour

2⁄3 t salt
1⁄2 t thyme
1⁄2 t basil
1⁄3 t oregano
1 t celery salt
1 t black pepper
1 t dry mustard
4 t paprika
2 t garlic salt
1 t ground ginger
3 t white pepper

corus_kt ,

Amazing, had no idea this was ever revealed!

Feels like nobody cared because current KFC is so average to bad quality. No point stealing that recipe outside for laughs/nostalgia.

Honestly I doubt they use anywhere near that many spices anymore.
