  • I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost

    Jump

  • I also have an Apple TV and like it a lot. It's the only Apple device I use regularly, I'm definitely not an Apple fanboy, just heard that run well and there was a specific app they support that I wanted so I went with that. Only thing I dislike is the remote. God that touch pad thing is awful. My wife says she thinks it's because my hands are big, but idk. But other than that, great experiences with it overall.

  • ‘Elon Musk is a national security risk’: Retired U.S. Army General sounds alarm on Musk and his newfound role as close advisor to President-elect Donald Trump

  • And do what exactly? Having militaries intervene on political processes doesn't have the best history of turning out well.

  • Spot the difference

  • China ranks second in the world in human population, too.

  • The New York Times ever being perceived as progressive is the biggest scam ever.

  • Every tech product update: "Exciting news, we've now incorporated AI!" Me: Cool, how do I disable it?

  • BACK IT UP

    Jump

  • Being able to grow mushrooms legally would be fucking sick and would make the next four years a bit less shitty.

  • Clever, clever

    Jump

  • Requiring students to cite work is pretty common in academic writing after middle school.

  • I don't trust like that.

  • Most species of wasp are not aggressive towards humans. I work out in my garden a lot and almost never have encounters with aggressive wasps--the only time I really do is when yellow jackets create a nest in an area that I haven't been to in a while.

  • I'm having a hard time actually finding a source for this. Just a few poorly written articles that basically cite this video as a source. Something this potentially impactful seems like it would make the rounds more, so I'm very skeptical.

  • TGIF

    Jump

  • More like spend the two days catching up on chores and honey-do's. Mostly the only time I feel fully rested after a weekend is when it was a three-day weekend.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

    Jump

  • I remember wanting to be a forum mod when I was like 15 and thought that it would make me cool on the forum. As a grown adult... no way. I am so busy between work, grad school, and my personal life, I have no time for such silliness. I have a lot of respect for mods that donate their own time to run communities.

  • Languages

    Jump

  • As someone with a background in linguistics, my jimmies are indeed rustled.

  • THICC

    Jump

  • The rapid-fire memes and acknowledgment of them being memes made it cringe, IMO. If they'd just dialed it back and said something like this I think it would have been fine:

    "Here's our beautiful thicc girl, Abby! She loves to eat fish and swim with her friends. Come see her at our aquarium any time!"

  • What music do you use for concentration?

    Jump

  • I have the ADHD and unless it's a mindless task, I can't listen to music or it makes it much harder for me to concentrate. For anyone else with the disorder, I'd encourage you to at least give it a shot working WITHOUT music and see if it improves your concentration.

    shitty little snowflake has to be special, can't just act normal like everyone else

    Jump

  • I'm a teacher and not only do I not make my kids do it (it's illegal to make a student say the pledge if you didn't know), I don't do it myself because I think it's fucking weird and inappropriate. My only rule is to remain quiet if you're not saying the pledge, out of respect to people who do want to observe it.

  • BBQ

  • I don't expect shit from anyone. That said, when I'm at one I'm still going to ask if there are options, because why wouldn't I?
