  • Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?

    Jump

  • It would be really weird if that was cause and effect. I like to imagine how that might go down though.

  • Kiwi strawberry Snapple.

    It was 30 years ago, but it kinda killed the whole concept of calling things "gay" for me.

  • can I opt out of credit agencies?

    Jump

  • It's not just a breach you have to worry about. Credit agencies actively monetize your financial data by selling it to anyone who wants it. You didn't give it to them, you didn't authorize it, they collect it and they sell it.

  • The state of the rail system the most reliable measure of how civilized a country really is

    Jump

  • That must be why mobile and discriminating populations choose to move to China.

  • Suggestions for best course of action to convince parents that cutting the cord is going to save them quite a bit of money and they can still watch all their programs?

    Jump

  • Don't do it. They'll blame you for every perceived problem they have (most of which will not actually be problem).

    It's expensive to refuse to learn new things.

  • Domain Renewal

    Jump

  • Never give up the domain. I've let several go that I wish I still had. They only get more valuable, like real estate.

    RIP stinkfist.org

  • People who grew up in Manhattan (or other heavily urbanised area), how did your childhood look like?

    Jump

  • Man, I rode my bike everywhere as a kid. I could get through 5-6 elementary schools. I could get to the rich kids neighborhood and the ghetto. I could get to 2 different movie theaters. I could get to 6 different great record shops.

  • People who lived in an HOA, what was your biggest nightmare with them?

    Jump

  • My HOA is... fine. It's like $25 a month, and it includes trash/recycling and common area maintenance. I've gotten a few warnings about leaving my trash cans out too long, or some other small violations, and I've cursed them for that because I'm obstinate and ornery... but I take care of it, and I don't actually get a fine.

  • People who pirated in the late 90s and early 00s what is the most dramatic change from then till now? And if you had the power what would you bring back?

    Jump

  • I miss mixed CDs. You meet someone, you understand their music tastes, and you make them a mix of stuff that you think they'd like, but from your favorite known artists. I made plenty, and ones I received got me into some awesome bands.

    Jump

  • I burned CDs just titled "Pink Floyd", "Beatles" or "Radiohead" with their entire discography of mp3s on it. I really got deep into a lot of bands back then.

    Jump

  • I remember downloading the big stuff at work, because they had a T1, and network security wasn't really a thing yet.

  • I've just been introduced to Taco Bell. What should I be trying?

    Jump

  • Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.

  • My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos?

    Jump

  • Unless I did a really poor job researching it, you cannot change your default SMS/MMS application on an iPhone.

    You can use other messaging apps like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, or AIM. But if you want to use SMS, you have to use iMessage.

    Maybe this is US-specific though. Europe often forces Apple to do things they don't do here.

  • My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos?

    Jump

  • The real reason: Apple intentionally doesn't support the open protocols that send pics and videos to non-Apple devices. These protocols are a decade old and work great. They use a proprietary protocol instead, which they will not share with other phone manufacturers.

    What the average iPhone user thinks: Apple is better than Android!

    It's pretty dumb.

  • What happened to elementary OS?

    Jump

  • I'n using Elementary OS right now. It's been my daily driver for several years on a low powered laptop as a Chromebook replacement. I run browser, messaging, and occasionally some light photo or audio editing.

    No complaints. Works great. Solid. Looks great. If you have a similar use case, I recommend it. All of the people ITT talking about what's wrong with it have not changed my mind that it's just what I need.

    The smartest American

    Jump

  • I hear Americans eat babies too. I'm not even sure they are human, right?

    I'm sure people get annoyed or ignore you because you're just too truthful, not because you're ridiculous.

  • Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?

    Jump

  • I don’t think Windows is seamless either. It’s just what most people are used to.

    This. I've never used Windows 11. Apparently, they are removing the Control Panel. If I can't figure out how to fix a problem that comes up, I'm going to have to search for the answer and test out solutions. This is no different from Linux.

  • AI bros

    Jump

  • I like how on Amazon, the "Rufus" thing always pops up over the stuff I'm trying to read.

    "How can I turn off rufus" didn't come up with anything except how to turn it off in the app, not on the website.

    I had to use Ublock Origin to select and block it.
