The next time my cat glares at me for keeping her inside, I’ll point her to this and argue that birds already have enough problems. She can chase me and the string around the house to get the hunties out of her system

More options to refuse, nice

It was mainly the long reload every single time you strayed off the path that bothered me

No worries, stay oriented out there partner

“You wouldn’t download a screen recording”

Not a fan of the BotW/TotK lost woods, that’s what this makes me think of

I’ll take one

Support people who are trying, even if they’re not there yet. Only give criticism if it’s specifically being asked for. Admittedly I mostly apply this to individuals, if it’s some big group or company I’m less hesitant to be more harsh and critical though I still try to remain constructive and tactful

It’s kind of weird seeing him with an expression other than the one he has in literally every other photo of him

I wish I was Polish just so I could stand near that

I don’t know, but my view of technology being awesome and wonderful and the way to a better future has died, and that makes me sad

I’ll try to answer the question. How about this worry so many people have that technology facilitating any level of privacy is only going to be used for evil purposes. Even non technology cases. “Why aren’t you putting your real name and hometown?” Because it’s not relevant to this situation and nobody’s business! “Why are you refusing to be in this cute video we’re making for the company social media presence?” Because I don’t want my picture out there for everyone to see, and to be able to extrapolate where I live and who I work for

I think I got our company social media person to actually think I might have been serious when I eventually started saying I was under some kind of witness protection just to get out of it without having the same battle every time

I’m still awaiting the moment someone finally has a reason to legally insist on looking into my background or whatever after the whole “what shady activity or history are you hiding, always wanting your privacy and refusing to volunteer information about yourself” only to find I’m completely clean. No criminal record, no suspicious affiliations (unless Lemmy counts, hah), nothing incriminating. I’ve lived an extremely boring life. I just value my privacy

Good grief. This is such a goofy time to be alive

I think the key is to just not hate on someone else for having a preference for one you don’t care for. (And not being an overzealous missionary for your own preference.) It’s fun seeing the variety and people geeking out about the little intricacies they love about their favorites

• Dollar menus at fast food places
• Firefly
• Halloween neighborhood roam trick or treating
• Calvin & Hobbes but I’m glad Watterson ended it when he did
• Angular car design (yeah down with car centrism but those angles looked cool)
• Internet 1.0 and the separation of offline and online life
• The Beyond Taco at Del
• Personal privacy

Let’s start a club

Those must be some big tables

Preach, brother

Can’t deny it can be a sick look, but I don’t want to emulate the hoity toities too much. Stovepipe is relatively common and everyday wear (in its time) as compared to the similar but distinctly more formal and upper class top hat

What are you doing that’s more effective so we can emulate it? Legit question, I’ll do more if I know what it is that needs doing and is realistically doable (hence asking what you are personally doing about it)

You’re right, I’m gonna get one
