Currently dealing with this over the span of multiple days. I’m dying send help.

Checkmate, atheists

I mean…yes and no. A down payment for a single family home in today’s market is many orders of magnitude more expensive than $20k. But I agree that weddings are too expensive. Just have a small party and use that money elsewhere.

And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.

But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.

And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.

Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

Jeez dude I hope your hand is still functional ok

How did you get your fingers chopped off??

I had some sort of bad migraine episode where I couldn’t stop puking. Every time I threw up, the force of doing so would cause a wave of pain that was like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat.

I’m an American and work in healthcare. “PCP” is a common way to abbreviate “primary care physician”. Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.

And yes, I giggle when I see it because I’m immature!

My mom’s dog goes nuts when she finds tissues coated in boogers in the trashcan or if she finds underwear that has been worn for a day. She acts like she’s at an all you can eat buffet.

What’s wrong with liking both form and function in an item? Especially because I hardly use a mouse or keyboard in a way that I would call it a “tool” like a power drill. That’s great if you need something like that, but a lot of us are more casual users and would appreciate something that matches our taste when it’s displayed on a desk all day. Your power tools don’t just sit out on your computer desk all day, do they?

I have been rocking an off brand Chinese mechanical tenkeyless (a must for my space) keyboard for 10 years now and a Logitech triathlon M720 mouse secondhand for a slightly shorter amount of time. A great combo for me and the keyboard can be lighted or off in any color I choose. It doesn’t constantly strobe at you unless you want it to.

Ah yeah ok haha. The generation divides are only so accurate as to life experiences!!

Are you an older millennial? I’m a younger millennial and I’ve never even so much as seen a typewriter in person let alone typed on one. We were taught to type in school though on computers.

I just have my mail set to silent notifications so I still see if I got an email but it doesn’t interrupt anything.

For context, I eat meat.

But sometimes I do wonder if one day society will look back at the practice of eating animals and see it as barbaric, just as we do with slavery.

Now I’m wondering what that looks like. Personally, sometimes I find having something a bit loud is fun!

Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.

However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it’s as close to “first party” as you can get.

Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.

Lot of comments omin this thread! So this will prob get buried but here goes!

A couple years ago my phone suddenly died of old age. I had seen a YouTuber who had a folding phone (unrelated to the topic of the video) which I thought was wild looking. I found out that it was called a Z Flip 4 and bought it on a whim…hoping to have a phone that finally fit in my pocket. I loved the thing. It’s gimmicky, sure, but fun. And I loved how a modern phone could finally fit in women’s pockets.

I had it just under a year before I had a crazy deal to upgrade to the Z Flip 5. I have had this one around a year now and I have been really enjoying it. It was such a massive improvement over the 4 due to the huge cover screen when folded as opposed to just having a tiny screen only useful for briefly checking notifications. I’m not upgrading this year though. Planning to stick with the 5 for a bit I think!

It’s silly…but it’s fun to see some people’s reactions when I pull out my phone in public.

Battery life is not the best in the market, but still perfectly serviceable imo. The Z Flip 6 is being released soon with a bigger battery.

When I first got my Flip 4, I didn’t know that Motorola also had a folding phone model in this form factor. But I was jealous of their bright colors when I found out lol.

I would like to see more phone manufacturers try for models in this form factor. Personally, models that unfold out to become tablet sized are just far too chunky and expensive for me. I don’t really have a need for such a large device in my pocket all the time. Not sure why so many manufacturers are only into the phone+tablet folding phone model (ex: Google). It’s incredibly expensive and they are missing out on some of the market by limiting themselves imo.

I think they took too long to get to the part where they explain why exercise is good for you.

Calories in-caloroes out. That’s how you lose weight. I didn’t realize that there were people still out there who think exercise alone is how you lose weight.

But exercise is great for you and you should definitely do it… especially for your heart.

Honestly a lot of us on here talk about being lonely so…

I guess the Saw movies. But I’m not big on horror, so I’m not sure how they compare.
