Yeah, because it’s stupid to use them for that.

There are products that are designed to clean the ears. Q-tips are for makeup and cleaning electronics and stuff.

If you can get your hands on them, try the clinear things. They’re shaped like cotton swabs, except instead of a wad of cotton on the end, it has a little scoop.

It’s like using a spoon to eat cereal instead of a hammer. I don’t understand why people use hammers.

last year a murdered escaped from prison by pressing himself again two opposite walls and climbing up

Damn, must’ve sucked to get arrested for being murdered. No wonder he wanted to break out!

I used to use this maybe a decade ago. I’m glad to see it’s still around!

I’ve unfortunately switched to Google Calendar when my workplace started using it informally, and it’s just been the easiest to stick with.

What’s the TL:DW of that? I’m just reading for now lol

otp ,

Probably won’t help, but I find that headsets sound much worse when they’re connected as a headset. My (completely different headphones/headset) sounds a lot better in headphone mode.

Thank you for explaining that far better than I could!

Dr Disrespect Knowingly Sent Explicit Messages to a Minor, Former Twitch Employee Says (www.rollingstone.com)

“I recall that Dr Disrespect was made aware by the individual that they were underage during the conversation, after which he indicated that this was no problem and continued on,” the former employee says. “There was no confusion. Messages sent after this was acknowledged were no less graphic and in sexually explicit...

I lol’d

I think the true moral is that many “winners” tend to be assholes and/or scumbags.

otp ,

Idiotic? Lol

Do you have a better strategy?

otp ,

Make the updated vaccine available in August maybe?

This is kind of like saying the police should shoot the criminal before it commits a crime, and before they know who the criminal is.

It’s not idiotic to do the best alternative when the ideal thing to do is impossible.

I think as a “genre”, it refers to being more than an aesthetic, but also a setting. It’s probably bastardized by now from the original meaning, but I’d wager that looking into the etymology of steampunk might help you find what you’re looking for.

From there, it was probably like…“Well, steampunk, but with X! Xpunk!”

otp ,

I don’t believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?

otp ,

What do you mean? We need to get those numbers UP! It just means more and more criminals are getting away with their crimes.

Now is EXACTLY when we need to be tough on crime!

/s

otp ,

Yeah, especially if someone isn’t just cross-posting to multiple communities.

Natural reposts by different users in different communities are healthy and expected, especially on defederated social media (if you can call Lemmy that). It’s nobody’s personal feed.

otp ,

See, I didn’t get it at first because this is how I picture most of Arizona to look anyway. The visitor’s center could’ve just been a historical camp/checkpoint along some gold or oil rush route or something! Lol

I think the phrasing isn’t the best. I think he needs an “is what” before “hurts children” in the first paragraph.

Why is this tagged NSFW?

Not exploitation? Addiction? Hatred?

Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general (lemmy.world)

So I got a notice from Ticketmaster that my identity was accessed by an intruder and my name, contact info and /encrypted/ payment info was compromised. These notices are more and more common. Why aren’t companies accountable for damages when they fail to protect all the myriad data they collect on people without consent? I...

otp ,

Your Ticketmaster questions have been sufficiently answered, I think.

What did you want to know about beaches in general?

As the other commenter mentioned, it was a joke based on the typo in the title, haha

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough (www.xda-developers.com)

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple’s claim that...

buy a new one.

Buy a new SSD and swap out the old one?

…buy a new SSD, right??

I feel like this deserves a diagram

Arrogance and misplaced rage aren’t anything to be proud of, either.

Your argument is pretty much a slippery slope argument, which is how we get things like people trying to ban gay marriage.

I used Backlogery, but Backloggd seems to be more popular nowadays. That forum discussion mentions a few others, too.

If you play retro games, then you could also look into RetroAchievements, which will track more than when you simply beat a game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for all games though.

For more modern games, you could also use Achievements to track what you beat.

As for keeping track of what games you WANT to play… it’s called buying them! Don’t buy games you don’t want to play, haha

Seriously though, you could go through your Steam library and add games you want to play to a playlist, or sell physical games you wanted to support but don’t want to play.

But for multi-platform stuff, check out the linked forum post

otp ,

Unfortunately.

otp ,

Is this a question?

Woah, meta.

Yes, it is.

This is not a question, though.

Based on the rest of the comment, I think they were referring to how often members of the Israeli military defy orders.

otp ,

And terrorism must be defeated.

I agree. Israel must be stopped.

Real news, not to be confused with propaganda and misinformation, is readily available online to those with decent critical thinking skills

Propaganda and misinformation is also readily available online, disguised as real news, and is great at targeting people who think they have great critical thinking skills!

(Meta) So many questions here are not open ended. Does anyone care?

There are a significant amount of questions here that do not follow the criteria in the sidebar, especially “1. Open-ended question” and “5. An actual topic of discussion”. It seems some folks want others to do research for them, or to troubleshoot some random issue....

otp ,

could we do something about this?

Downvote posts that don’t generate good discussion.

Report posts that are flagrant rule breakers. (I report posts here that aren’t actually questions, or bad faith statements that are only barely questions)

But more importantly…

UPVOTE the good posts!

And even more importantly…

POST the kind of content you want to see! Be the change you want to see. If you’re just a commenter, you can’t complain that there’s no posts! Haha

otp ,

I agree with what you’ve said here.

At the same time, encouraging obese people to go outside and get some exercise without worrying about how they look to others seems like something to encourage.

If they can go out to the beach and it wasn’t so bad, maybe they can go out to the gym on another day.

This wouldn’t happen for everyone, but if it helps a few people, then I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing.

otp ,

She had a podcast she’d promote saying things like it’s ok to eat cake for breakfast if you want it

I mean, it is. I don’t think eating cake for breakfast is so much worse than eating it after dinner.

I lost a lot of weight with basically calorie counting. I ate whatever I wanted until I hit my limit. If I wanted more, I’d do some exercise to burn off the extra calories.

It taught me a lot about portion sizes and nutrition though (entered everything into a nutrition app, not just calories).

But I’m pretty sure there were some occasions where I had some cake for breakfast, lol

(Also…a muffin, waffles, or pancakes and syrup for breakfast are probably no better than cake)

otp ,

Yet I still add “Reddit” to a search query when looking for product reviews or technical/home maintenance support, lol

I can do it really well manually…but Google’s AI sucks at it.

They forgot to account for trolls…and how often trolls would get upvoted for the lulz

otp ,

I know it’s not “intelligent”, but I don’t get gatekeeping the phrase “AI”.

We were perfectly happy to use “AI” to refer to the logic of computer-controlled enemies in video games for probably decades.

I think some jurisdictions count it as rape if the victim consented under certain circumstances, but the rapist changed those circumstances.

Like consenting to sex with a condom on, but the rapist removes the condom and continues.

The price of rented accommodation in the United States is up 26% since the early 2020s

The best part is that it’s still the early 2020s…

Exciting New Trailer Released For Gex Trilogy | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

A new trailer for the Gex Trilogy has been released, featuring all three console games developed by Crystal Dynamics. The collection includes Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, starring the anthropomorphic gecko protagonist. Pre-orders are set to begin in autumn 2024 with availability on Nintendo Switch,...

otp ,

The 2D game is pretty fun, imo

otp ,

I think it’s silly too, but isn’t this a bit insensitive? People died. It is their own fault for making bad decisions in this situation, but they still died.

It’s also a lot easier to choose not to be Muslim when your entire family and maybe your entire support group isn’t Muslim. Hell, how many of those people who died came from countries where it’s basically required by law to be Muslim?

otp ,

What I said was “basically required by law to be Muslim”, not required by state law to do the Hajj

otp ,

ftr; also atheist, but decided not to be insensitive today, lol

otp ,

But you should know who you could grow to be.

Don’t restrict yourself with a fixed mindset.

Growth mindset. You could be better. Always.

otp ,

They aren’t, but adults are allowed to decide about that addiction

otp ,

In New York? Interesting.

But if you’re being facetious, that’s why I specified “that” addiction.

I mean, if they banned everything that was harmful and addictive, then nicotine and alcohol would be banned too. But clearly they don’t. Yet those are banned for children.

otp ,

Reminds me of the people who say things like “I say it like it is, and most people don’t like it”…not knowing that the reason they don’t have many friends is because they don’t have a filter and don’t think they need one, lol

But this looks like Elon Musk admitting that he’s genuinely an idiot, lol

otp ,

Oh. I didn’t have that same experience, lol

otp ,

Movies are shown to the public.

So are you charging people to view your Facebook profile? Or are you burdened with the expenses of having to host the movie in your memory? Lol
