What a weird way to thank someone

It’s more like “thanks and goodbye“ and maybe a little bit of “don’t you dare show your face around these parts if you know what’s good for you” sprinkled in for good measure.

    call it the late edition

    TheDoctorDonna ,

    You just unlocked a memory. When I was a kid there was a show called Early Edition and the guy would get tomorrow’s newspapers and he had to try to change the headline before it happened. I don’t know how I forgot about that.

    crossfadedragon ,

    That’s what I was thinking of when I made the suggestion 😁 it used to be on abc channel or maybe fox.

    TheDoctorDonna ,

    Aw yay! Glad I wasn’t just being weird. Definitely has an ABC kind of feel to it, all wholesome and shit.

    Edit: Google says it was CBS.

    People will come to work and say “oh sorry, I can’t read that since I’m not wearing my glasses” and I’m like “why would you go anywhere without glasses if you need glasses?” I just don’t understand it.

    0Xero0 OP ,
    @0Xero0@lemmy.world avatar

    actually, they do bring glasses with them all the time, they just straight up refuse to wear them

    Kepabar ,

    Keep in mind that depending on the type of eye issue they may not need them all the time. In this example the person only needs then to read and it might actually make their vision worse to wear them when not.

    0Xero0 OP ,
    @0Xero0@lemmy.world avatar

    the thing is, even when they need to read something, they just squint their eyes and whine about how they can’t see without glasses then ask others to read it for them instead of idk, PUTTING ON THE DAMN GLASSES that are RIGHT ON THE FUCKING TABLE. Why did you think I said they REFUSE to wear glasses?

    GreenMario ,

    It’s because they want YOU to read it for em.

    newIdentity ,

    Because I forgot them.

    I usually don’t need any glasses unless something is more than 1m away from me. They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

    They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

    Is the only thing you do at home is lay in bed? I do plenty of stuff at home that requires me to have my glasses on all day.

    I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed.

    newIdentity ,

    No, but I don’t really need to wear them inside since most of the time I don’t look at something far away enough to bother wearing glasses, because they get dirty fast and it can be hard to clean them sometimes.

    It’s not that bad for me since I only need -0,75dpt and -1,00dpt

    HikingVet ,

    Fucking hell, you’re near-sighted and you don’t wear them because they get dirty? Do you walk around naked?

    newIdentity ,

    I only have two pairs of glasses.

    I have more clothes and I can simply change them when they get dirty.

    Also it’s not really a major annoyance when they get a little dirty unlike it’s the case with glasses.

    wildginger ,

    Might come as a shock, but different eyeballs need glasses at different times.

    I am “legally blind” but my glasses are pointless inside the house. My vision is just fine for anything that isnt outdoors.

    Meanwhile my father cant drive with his glasses, but needs them to read.

    During the mandated mask times, I didn’t wear mine because they would fog up while wearing a mask.

    Piemanding ,

    That 12 cars a day is probably the biggest reason it took so long. When you don’t want to spend money you prioritize more important projects.

    KeenFlame ,

    You are so full of it. It’s not a fucking bike lane it just goes to the turn and disappear. This is not what bike lanes do. How much of your life is just riffing off others guesses and piling on anecdotes like this?

    technologicalcaveman , to lemmyshitpost in Immune to marketing

    Advertisements work opposite for me. If I see an ad, I hate the company. I adamantly will only choose materials based on personal research and the suggestions of my peers. Any suggestion by a corporate entity or otherwise paid method will only serve to brew hate. Beyond that, I will go to just about any means to get rid of ads. I often refuse to deal with a company if their ads show up when I don't want them to, or if their ad annoys me. There is no good ad.

    altima_neo , (edited )
    @altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

    Same. It’s very weird I guess. Ads just make me dislike a brand for trying so hard, or hot trying hard enough. Also mainstream stuff tends to irk me the wrong way

    KevonLooney ,

    only choose materials based on personal research and the suggestions of my peers.

    And how do you know what to choose from? Ads.

    You may not like it but advertisements work on you. They just need to be more subtle. You are fooling yourself if you think you are immune.

    STUPIDVIPGUY ,

    true that google search is littered with ads. But savvy consumers know how to do research while avoiding sponsored content and finding unbiased specs and reviews.

    Synthead , to linux in Is this speed normal for formatting a HDD? (mint 21.2)

    Looks like you’re zeroing the disk. Hard drives are faster on the outside of the platters compared to the inside because there’s more rotational velocity on the outside. Since the data is moving directly across the disk as its writing, yes, you’ll see a speed difference during this process.

    This definitely happened

    Tetsuo ,

    I just thought about the “Duh it’s fake” comments that were slowly inching me to insanity on reddit.

    Please don’t bring this over to Lemmy. Please.

    80% of popular posts had a popular comment saying something is staged or fake. It’s so uninteresting, unoriginal and beating a dead horse so to say. Even for litteral movie scenes we had popular comments saying it’s staged.

    Sorry for the rant and it’s not particularly for your comment. It just was a massive trend I noticed on certain subreddits. Could probably farm karma just making a bot saying some variation of “it’s fake” to every posts.

    Ubermeisters ,

    Honestly, sure. You make a valid point.

    mustardman ,

    Fake text messages are like the laugh track of the internet. There are plenty of absurd things that actually happen on the Internet so having to create fake situations cheapens authentically funny situations.

    Sites like 9gag are filled with these things because they are low effort ways to make an unfunny joke plausibly funny.

    kurwa ,

    Here’s the thing, how are you ever going to prove that a message is real or not? Maybe there’s a way to do it, but honestly that’s more effort than anyone is going to go through.

    So you land at 2 situations, either you don’t post any messages ever, or stop complaining about it being fake in the comments because some people might find it entertaining, regardless of whether it’s real or not.
