  • What water bottles are completely free from the problem of weird chipping/shavings of the material which could put material in the water, even when dropping it or when using Bottle Bright tablets?

    Jump

  • I've seen chipping on two black plastic Hydro Flask wide mouth lids, and it looks unsafe.

    The last time I drank out of a reusable bottle, I felt a string-like thing on my tongue, and when I grabbed it out, it was black, and way too thick to be hair. I don't know for sure where it came from, and I'm only 80% sure it's a problem with the bottle or lid.

    The metal version of the Hydro Flask wide mouth lid has a 1-star review about "yummy metal shavings".

    Proprietary software's inferiorities, such as this control center downgrade, remind me of that one Dhar Mann video where kids enjoy homemade food and insult what the "award winning pastry chef" made.

    Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc)

  • Do you care about up/down votes?

    Jump

  • When in comes to my own posts and comments, my trust in vague negative reactions is long gone.

    Some things that made me more suspicious of Lemmy users:

    • Most criticism of one thing was vague and often mentioned my mental health. And the only non-vague comment was targeted at the involved Catholic beliefs/values and my unusual sense of humor.
    • I banned someone for 1 day for saying "So, am I right in assuming that OP has untreated schizophrenia? Wtf is this word vomit?" and someone described this as "banned a guy because he said you write poorly" which is a very weird interpretation. I obviously would not have gived a ban if the comment just said "you write poorly".

    For me, taking online feedback less seriously was a big part of growing up.

  • When people say "just be yourself" and criticize intentions, they confuse the glass box with the personality inside, and they take their own glass's cleanliness (what makes it transparent) for granted

    Jump

  • An example of something that makes personality less visible is social anxiety. Changing that kind of stuff doesn't mean that one is wrongly "forcing it" or being less genuine.

    Some advice mentioned in these comments are examples of criticizing the intention of finding a romantic partner ("intention" might have been too vague): https://www.reddit.com/r/CatholicDating/comments/1h0gy5r/what_is_some_advice_christian_people_swear_is/

    Alternative phrasing of my observation: ... they confuse personality with the box surrounding it, and they take their own box's transparency for granted

  • In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors?

    Jump

  • If there's carbon monoxide, then someone might fill in a bubble thinking it makes the candidate less likely to win, get the candidates mixed up, forget to fill in the bubble, etc.

  • To convince more people, it may help to have an analysis that doesn't include celebratory dinners, eating out, physical television, etc. The inclusion of those things are either a drop in the bucket or have good enough rationales, but too many Americans are too dumb to accept that.

    In google searches, use "linux gnu" instead of "linux" so search suggestions make people aware of gnu
