ACAB

Thanks, thought it was an ACAB type thing and didn’t use my thinker.

Where’s Cats Eyes!!!???

K I duckduckgo’d it and still don’t know what SPOG is. Help?

Simple example from yesterday: My stupid pixel 8 phone has a green line on the screen. I look up how to get warrantee and think “wow, at least Google knowing everything about me will be helpful in this case” and after a few misdirects to garbage online user forum to try and get me to solve this problem myself I get prompted with “which device is the problem?”

Google pixel 8

Some camera I had but was stolen, and google knows this because they refused to replace it even though I went through the bother to report it stolen to police because they claim they will send a new one

So I click the phone next page says “this phone?” -serial number

Click

Good news it’s under warranty! Would you like to start the process?

WRONG CODE

take the space that was at the front for some reason

Great! Here are the next steps…

Me: wtf is this garbage…

Caitlin Doughty did a great video on it. I don’t know how to link on Lemmy and can’t even figure how to post this not as a reply… Been here nearly a year lol…

What type/brand of laser level? Most have magnetic brackets so if you have an outside corner in the room that has a metal drywall corner it will stick to that, or any peice of metal can be screwed to the wall and the level can be stuck to that. Your level may also come with a metal part of the bracket that you can screw to the wall and then stick the lazer to, and slide it up and down to get the right spot.

My sister’s dog does “business deals” with me (offers a paw to shake) and it gets to the point where I have to tell him I don’t do deals on the weekend or I’m out of goods to trade. That little ferengi never truly believes me though he thinks I’m just trying to play hardball …

Currently playing Fear and Hunger after watching SEWs video on it, multiple times.

I did think this was one of his weaker videos, but it was still a good watch.

Toronto had Zanta, a guy who wore red boxers, black boots and a Santa hat and did pushups on top of mailboxes and flexing while shoutting at passersby. If you knew him it was a fun spectacle but for most people he was aggressive and basically a creep.

He was mentally ill for sure, and had a pretty long sad story.

Any Zanta experts please speak up if you’d like to add more context. Pretty sure someone wrote a book or comic about the guy.

Sounds like my man “Sneesus” at Dundas Square. “BbBEEEEELEEIVE IN THE LORD” everyday, same corner. Scaring the crap out of anyone who doesn’t know the intersection but otherwise never approaches or even gives a glance.

That is a beautiful, wonderful movie, but I haven’t been in a positive enough mental state to watch it for almost 8 years.

No I’m not depressed, I’m very lucky and usually quite content if not very happy, it’s just so dark and sad you really have to be waaaaay over to the happy side of the spectrum of you don’t want to come out a hairs distance from suicidal.

Tool assisted speed run. People write programs to run the game over and over, and by doing that they can prove or disprove potential strats, routes and such and then humans can try them.

That image is decades old, I recall it from my middle school years (right around 2000). When I saw it I recognised it immediately and another user also noted they recognise it so I don’t think we’re mistaken.

“Passage” is a very short one. But the choices matter.

Raccoon Saloon on YouTube is a live camera for racoons if anyone else needs more of this.

I think you might be confused. If you didn’t want people’s answers, perhaps next time don’t ask, or ask a buddy over a drink.

Are you keeping up with the Commodore?

My dad was showing us all Moon Shuttle for the 64, some old game he’d never played. And then he pulled out a chip he called “the shadow” that I guess has a history to it. It was a replacement for another chip you’d plug it into the hard drive to… Copy games? But they didn’t work or they didn’t make enough? He even showed me his thermal printed complaint letter he wrote explaining how long he waited and how many times he was fobbed off.

While I have to suffer the canned variety most of the time, a good cheesy pineapple onion black olive pizza is a very good thing. Or pineapple with any spicy ingredients.

Growing up there was a pizza place in my home town that had a house pizza. The primary thing was the crust was almost… crackery? Dry and crispy (it was just a family owned restaurant, don’t know if they had a pizza oven). The toppings were pineapple, green olives, crumbled/very fine dice ham, onion… I wish I could remember if that’s all. It was an amazing pizza and I regret they closed and I can never have it again :(
