elders

All I have is a 13 year old laptop, and I use it basically all day most days. It's plays music and movies etc with no issues. Cloud pc for gaming, which also works perfectly. It really doesn't like youtube, though, and it sounds like a jet engine every time system and app updates start to download. Can't afford to get anything better anyway. A friend gave it to me after it died on him and he got a new one, wasn't hard to fix. I cried when I got it because it improved my life a lot, just being able to do basic things.

Skills Development.

Wanted to know the source of the right image, for reasons, and it's from this website that "teaches rope bondage, shibari and other rope-related BDSM skills":

https://www.theduchy.com/

I'm not gonna get anyones hopes up like I did mine about good content there, the website is self described as "Our focus is on education, not titillation, so this is a safe place to learn techniques without distracting sexual images."

Feelings? Nah

A bit related to this, so many times throughout my life when I've mentioned I'd like to be friends with, take up lost contact with or just mention a woman has a currently present woman reacted like "you know she has a boyfriend, right?", "I don't think you're her type" etc.

It makes sense that so many men have very few or no female friends, because they experience exactly that. It's like many women have decided that all men are incapable of being friendly with women without it being about sex or more than friends. We get scared of trying because it'll just be misinterpreted as wanting to fuck them.

oh no

This reminded me that it's not uncommon for deaf people to think the sun is very loud, especially during hot days. It's obviously not scientifically logical, but I really understand it. It can feel loud in a way.

After the new Kurzgesagt video about black holes...

I used to love Kurzgesagt but I just don't like their videos anymore, and I'm not sure why. They definitely make the kind of content I enjoy, always did and still do, but when I try to watch any of their videos from the last 3-4 years I just don't like it. I also get this feeling that they are kinda smug about their popularity and how famous they are, it's weird.

YSK: Lemmy browsing app Boost is tracking your data for profiling and more! Consider using other trackingless Lemmy apps such as Jerboa or Voyager

OP, you suck. This has been (falsely) reported before, and every time it gets shut down as fear-mongering. I really doubt you learned of this, did any kind of source checking or just looked it up without seeing the MANY disproving replies that are always there.

I've seen this enough times, this exact post, to where I'm certain it's consciously done false sensationalist crap. There are several other posts like this about other apps and services that get posted every couple of weeks/months and just like here they always get told off for their idiocy. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a group or person doing much of it, it's the exact same every time.
