This isn't a swashbuckling pirate, this is your Uncle Jim who worked a gig at some kid's vaguely pirate-themed birthday party

There's not a single arrg bone in this guy's body. He's more of a "how're ya doin' kids, it's me, the pirrrrate" kind of guy, you know?

Like, this dude just does NOT have the energy nor the strength to fire a cannon. You really think HE'S gonna take on a kraken? Nah, dude's never even seen a seagull

You know where this dude lives? Probably some town in Iowa, near a Cracker Barrel

It's in his eyes. I can tell

I was invited to partake upon opening the software. I thought Lemmy might get a kick out of this.

If you haven't secured your load and it breaks my wind shield, you're liable. I don't care what warning you may have written on your truck and neither does insurance nor the law (in the US at least).

I'm sorry, I'm not often someone to whine about Firefox UI. Usually their changes have been for good actually. BUT! But but but. Proper UI design would require AI features to be disabled if the toggle is disabled. This is both highly silly and very confusing.

Trust corporate America to take something as simple as loading a text article into a digital "experience". What the hell even is that? (Its marketing jargon for ads, I know). Talk about a circle jerk around the marketing table though.

one of the two packages is now stuck at the same place for a while and the second got put on a van but i think the package shop had break time when they tried to deliver it. They are closed midday for 2 hours.
Im contemplating if i should try to get it today now after work or if i get it when the website says its there.
Maybe the system is even faulty and my first package is already waiting for me.

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit: it arrived at the pickup so im not mildly infuriated anymore :D

First of all: I don't have a single clue where to post this as I am not going to put this in a meme.

Political focus is one thing that's always infuriating. Like, just imagine atleast 6 or more years ago, Greta Thunberg let Trump be framed as a dirty money-hungry pig for his climate politics and the whole World stood with her, while now Multi-who-knows-what-aires can do anything they like when someone merely lays a wrong eye at a Mass-LLM-center (Not calling it THE word because I HATE it).

But from all these active themes that keep switching focus as propaganda and the "woke mind" spreads, there was always one thing that kept devolving (big word): racism. First it was everyone who wasn't white, then a different group, suddenly a religion - and all of this changed depending on where you went. But it was always there. Always.

Putting aside ideologies, it always starts with a new political focus. For example: Right wing party gets the government = Oh now it's these pesky [insert minority (doesn't have to be an ethnic group)]. It is well anchored in our system. No, scratch that: It is well anchored in EVERY SYSTEM. And guess what... can't only be racism, can't it: let's also put ableism, sexism and multiple other phobias and isms in the bunch (again). So not only is racism repackaged every time, but every other prior ism and phobia is also burned onto it.

But taken away this filled out rant, I learned to hate a new word: Alien. Can you imagine, having every single thing here "modernised". Gendering, pronounciations, other things put into this list, but why not atleast take a word which is way to general and unthought of and put a consideration behind it.

You think that when the so-called "aliens" try to exist with us in harmony, 'cause idk, they lost their planet or something, live on this earth have family, live for generations and go to a job meeting only to be addressed as the alien (girl, boy, woman, (list goes on)), they would be okay with that??

Now as some of you may have realised that is kinda a familiar story isn't it. Integrating yourself or being forced to integrate in a system, having to go through trauma, unacceptance, etc. living there for decades only to be judged by for only looking different or for being from somewhere else. Hmmmmm... might I wonder what that sounds like.

The only funny thing is, that that scenario I just opened with the "aliens" never had a name attached to it until now. Donald Doofus, the patriotic self-centred american himself started calling actual people who live on this earth and even had the grounds through their ancestors themself before his whole entire family tree decided to migrate onto a "newly conquered" (unspeakably acclaimed) terrain in hopes of having an even better life. And what that just says is absolute sh°t. When I ever hear this word I just get angry, when people make jokes about racism or racist jokes I can't stop myself from just wanting to punch my sense into these w*nkers.

Moral of the story is: There is none. All hope is lost talking to an egotostical moron and the worst is when they still win. I'd also hope as a person - not a "white person" or anything else - that people will understand or atleast try to comprehend what other people have to go through in order to not even be accepted fully.

Be safe out there, try to be rational, hear out any and every rationally formed opinion and try to be enlighting. Never force anyone to listen but also stay determined to your goal. With that Cheers

P.S. I thought over other wording for a "non-earther" but even stuff like extraterrestrial is just the same. Another Moral: FOR WHOEVERS SAKE, DON'T LABEL PEOPLE!

P.P.S. Have you ever thought why people seperate themselfs on a "higher level" even though the greatest genetic differences between modern humans (homo homo sapiens) is not even a percent? And even if, bananas share 55% DNA with humans, but they are somehow more than just accepted (stilled blamed for a bit of radiation though).

I like the McDonald’s breakfast sandwich with a scrambled egg, figured I’d try the Burger King one for the sake of comparison. But they wouldn’t do it with a scrambled egg. “We don’t do that”. I thought their whole shtick was “have it your way?” Guess not.

My kid watches Bluey,but I like to watch some things some times as well. Guess that's not allowed anymore. Guess I'll be unsubscribing.

And it won't move today or tomorrow either. Monday? There is hope.

I understand the need for renovation. I'm not complaining about that. But there would've been enough space to move it 10 meters to the right, park it properly.

This is my main window.

I travel a lot for work. As such, I eat out a lot. As such such, I look at a lot of places' menus without physically being there (since I don't know the area, I don't know where to eat, so I look at the reviews and images posted online).

A restaurant's soup selection will likely not be the thing that decides if I eat there or somewhere else, but sometimes soup is the only side dish that sounds appetizing, and if I don't know what kind of soup the restaurant serves I'll probably just pick somewhere else.

I’m on a train in the uk. To make things even worse, they’re handing out DfT survey QR codes. I decided to pass the time by filling it in. It’s by ‘Savanta Research’ and they’ve clearly never travelled by train. If you don’t get all the way to the end of a 15+ step form without submitting, you lose everything when you go through a tunnel and momentarily lose connectivity. It couldn’t be designed to be worse for filling in on the go.

Disney+ has updated its subscriber agreement to allow advertising before and after movies and shows across every subscription tier. The change quietly ends completely ad-free streaming on the platform, even for those paying top dollar.

That includes the Premium plan, which costs $18.99 a month and was originally sold on the promise of an uninterrupted viewing experience.

Subscribers now face an on-screen prompt when logging in, requiring them to actively accept the updated terms before they can keep watching.

I've been using the default clock app on Samsung phones as my alarm(s), for almost two decades.

A recent update has changed the 'upcoming alarm' notification. You have the option to dismiss/shut off an alarm that's supposed to sound in the next 5-30min via that notification; but a recent update has changed that to dismiss ALL upcoming alarms for the entire day, as well as every upcoming alarm for future days if they're set for the same time.

I used to have a sporadic work schedule with varying start times; so I'd set/schedule my alarms for the next week or two in advance. If I set one for 8am tomorrow and one for 8am four days from now; dismissing that first alarm at 7:40am also dismisses the one that's four days away...

If I set alarms for 8am, 10am, and noon today; dismissing the first one at 7:45 dismisses all three alarms together...

There is no options to change this, the only related setting is for how early that 'upcoming alarm' notification shows up (5, 15, or 30min)

What alarm app do you use? Got a recommendation?

/edit

People seem to be misunderstanding me. I don't have trouble waking up/snoozing alarms too much.

I just need a typical alarm app, but one that doesn't dismiss a bunch of unrelated alarms instead of just the one that's supposed to go off very soon.

I was just curious if people had a particular one they liked.
