Reddit - Beehaw until I decided I didn't like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn't like are better now) - kbin.social (died) - kbin.run (died) - fedia.

  • Do You Suddenly Need To Stop Using WhatsApp On Your Phone?

    Jump

  • No, I stopped using it suddenly years ago (my dad and spammers were the only ones contacting me and it was mostly the spammers).

  • When someone's telling you something in great detail that you already know about, do you: A) patiently listen and let them finish?

    Jump

  • "oh x aspect you say? isn't that kinda like c, d, y, z, aspect" or similar to politely as possible state what I already know so we can either skip past those parts or disagree/clarify as the conversation requires.

  • Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)

    Jump

  • We don't, really. I certainly grew up without them. It did both good and bad things. It did centralize and simplify some things, but that came at a cost of freedom for more power users. It was great for sorting out dependencies at a time games were still often bad at doing that cleanly on their own for less-technical people. I think it did good things for community, though, particularly for those of us who did not use any modern consoles that had various party/SNS-like features baked in.

  • Who puts their hands in someone else's pockets like that?

    Jump

  • I had an ex that used to like to put her hand in my back pocket. My wife has a few times as well (and generally takes every opportunity to touch my butt).

  • TIL “sleet” does not have the same meaning in all English speaking countries

    Jump

  • https://www.etymonline.com/word/sleet so not the version I grew up with.

    Wintry mix, though, feels like a newer word to me. I don't recall hearing it in the '80s, but maybe I just don't remember it. Even the '90s, I'm not sure. Definitely at some point in the '00s, though.

    Sleet to me (central Ohio, USA from birth until my mid-20s) is wind-driven chunks. It is not the same as "freezing rain" in any cases that I can think of, but there might be a small overlap on that venn diagram. I would say "wintry mix" these days, but I'm probably equally likely to say "a mix of snow and rain" or something.

  • If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?

    Jump

  • Not the GoP. Not the green party, at least with Stein still around. Not the dems after all their nonsense. So... I don't know; we'll have to see who runs. The "good" news for anyone disliking my selections is that the (heavily-Gerrymandered) district means my vote will almost certainly mean fuck all anyway (assuming they don't come up with some bullshit to throw out overseas votes to begin with since I can't really do anything about that).

  • If the eight planets of the Solar System were renamed, what do you think the new names should be?

    Jump

  • Heh. No. I thought about a piece of food on the inner planets and realized I had nothing for the outer ones by didn't feel like re-thinking the concept

  • Here I stand, at 50, wishing I could shit as well as my dogs.

    Jump

  • Hydrate better, eat better, and move more. I eat mostly brown rice as my main carb in my big meal and a big salad (mostly cabbage) as my other meal most days. I'm not far behind you in age and I want to poop less

  • If the eight planets of the Solar System were renamed, what do you think the new names should be?

    Jump

  • Bake, pressure cook, ferment, dry, poisony squish, weak poisny squish, freezy squish, freezy squish 2: revenge of the squish, and various flavors of "freeze dry" for the TNOs

  • How much is your monthly average mobile/phone data usage?

    Jump

  • Nearly zero since I almost never use the internet outside of home. If I know I'll be traveling, I have a separate wi-fi hotspot I pay for (a bit under 100k JPY yearly). My phone bill yearly is less than 35k JPY (usually closer to 33k but leaving a buffer in case I make a lot of outgoing calls)

  • What mistakes did your parents make while raising you that you will be careful to avoid in your own parenting?

    Jump

  • Living with an abusive husband (my first stepfather).

    Being super over-protective; all it did was make me fail and get into trouble a lot more in adulthood.

    Having me in general.

    I got snipped so no kids for me unless I somehow end up divorced/widowed and marry someone who already has kids (though most parents around my age have kids already out on their own).

  • Genesis

    Jump

  • And, a chapter over, there's another version with differently-ordered events showing that documentation never has been good.

  • What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?

    Jump

  • I met one really drunk Russian guy years ago, but the bar was so loud everyone basically had to yell so I can't really count it

  • What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?

    Jump

  • Sure. The post asked specifically about Americans and, perhaps by virtue of living in East Asia, I haven't run into that many loud Europeans lately.

  • A group of crows is a murder. A group of apes is a shrewdness. What's a group of you called?

    Jump

  • A flundge. I'm not sure why, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

  • What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?

    Jump

  • Americans are mostly super loud. You can hear them from forever away like they're competing to be the loudest in any space. ~ someone originally from the US that had this pointed out to me.

  • When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

    Jump

  • Indeed. It's terrible and it's also the reason we don't visit family in the US (my wife is not a US citizen and barely speaks English). I do not support it, I voted against the current administration, and I have removed as many US companies as possible from my life.

  • When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

    Jump

  • I plan to renounce but I need to be able to help my parents if they need it. Family comes first here. I do not have to pay taxes, just file them; especially with the weak Japanese yen, I don't make enough to need to pay anything.

  • When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

    Jump

  • but I do see the logic.

    I don't. What are they going to do? A lot of people I know who live abroad have done so for decades and have no living family in the US. All it would do is introduce a bunch of homeless people to the US and destroy lives. I voted against the current administration and disagree with everything they do. Guess they should just make my wife homeless, get my house repossessed, destroy my career, and probably just end with me killing myself because of where I was born. Must be big fans of ICEs work, I guess.
