I never understand why people say this. I always feel like shit the day after getting high. I’m tired, cranky, irritable or have that weird anxious feeling like something bad might happen (that I never otherwise have).

I don’t understand your comment — are you arguing that the large variety of filesystems shouldn’t exist or something else?

Is this common to do? Do you just have no control over the content you’re consuming? I feel like I’m missing something here.

I mean they were always packed when I went. But one (Sage Bistro in Pasadena, CA) was hard to get into without a reservation. The owner just decided she suddenly believed in “regenerative farming” for whatever fucking reason.

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?

Why don’t they just stop these people from entering in the first place? I keep seeing Greenland cry about the horrible Americans (as they should) but then they just let them in for some reason?

I’ve been vegan since 2019 and it’s hitting me lately that in those days things were looking bright for veganism. Now a lot of vegan restaurants are turning their backs on animals by serving meat then closing up shop a few months later after alienating their customers. It’s getting more difficult to find vegan options and it just breaks my heart.

(There’s also like 10,000 other problems I’m going through too.)

I generally wear one of many identical black tees during the workweek, I don’t have any cartoon shirts though.

That’s not how I thought that was going to end

I probably should be using ISO too but I typically just have the BDMV and friends there. It defaults to ISO for (some?) DVDs though which I find interesting; I can’t remember the logic there.

I like renting physical Blu-rays then dumping them to my NAS. I’m a stickler for quality so I don’t re-encode or compress anything.

The real mistake was not having Google blocked in the first place.

I’ve never had to install it; granted I only disable my Google blockers when I need to do something serious (like paying bills) but I’ve never installed the app.

While Android users are effectively locked out, iOS users, even those running older versions, have more flexibility.

This is what I’m not understanding: are they doing user-agent sniffing or perhaps using a proprietary JavaScript API? Couldn’t de-Googled browsers just pretend to be iOS (as ugly as that would be)?

For me I think growing up constantly told “you’re so smart, you’ll figure it all out” was more detrimental than helpful. It led me to believe I’d cruise through life pretty easily. I’m happy with where life’s taken me and the point I’m at now but I could’ve gotten here a lot faster if I would’ve applied myself more. Just because a kid is into computers doesn’t mean they’ll be some sort of genius.

People will do anything except stop eating animals.

I feel this way about 90% of smells. I really hate candles (even ones that smell fantastic) because it feels like the air is poisoned.

Having quit smoking/vaping a year ago I’m still shocked by how nasty people smell in public. We all know Los Angeles has some stench (piss and shit everywhere) but in places like theaters, Costco or other packed retail stores, etc. I’m just blown away by how bad it all smells.

This feels anything but spontaneous to me unless you happen to live right on the water.

I just use multiple VPN tunnels with the first two hops still in the US (so it doesn’t look like I’m going offshore) with random delays along the way (to avoid timing analysis) to a Lemmy instance in a privacy-friendly country.

They could probably still figure out who I am if they tried hard enough though.

Shutting doors when the A/C or heater is on. Apparently closing doors behind you is rocket science out here in California.
