That's a different situation though. A green arrow means you have full right of way to make the turn. Right-on-red is more like a stop sign.

Preorder bonus

Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

I can't decide about that. If I'm the meme, and it's telling me I'm the meme, should the text be readable by me? Or by the person looking at me? And if they can read the text, does it mean they're the meme?

Unrelated, but you have any rabbits I could pet?

In the US, $ comes before a number, and ¢ comes after. It helps differentiate them at a glance. $1.50 or 75¢ You only use one symbol at a time.

Not all that many uses for the ¢ left these days, I suppose.

Certain ants are pretty distinct. Thatch ants spray formic acid as a defense, and will have a sour smell (and taste, or so I've been told). Odoriferous house ants are named so for obvious reason, and smell (to me) like pen ink. Assuming they taste terrible, but I dunno anyone who's tasted one.

Also, for what it's worth, my entomologist father refers to the thread's subject as "sow bugs", so that's how I know them, but pill bugs and rolly polly are common here.

In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should've been.

I'm trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it'll work for you

In another post, someone tried to say "resting removed face" but it came out "resting removed face"

edit: well that's awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?

I like the idea that there's some shift that's just getting carts all day.

"Sorry, Johnson, people haven't left enough carts out lately. We're letting you go."

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be... 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

"Pheonix is a monument to man's arrogance", as King of the Hill said.

It's one of those places I think about sometimes, wondering "do people really need to live everywhere"?

Here book, fear books? Turn books, burn books!

In the case of peppers, birds are immune to the effect of capsaicin. It strikes me as an evolutionary way of ensuring your seeds get spread as far as possible, by something that flies.

Could just be chance, though, I'm no expert.

Also, the lizard people won't steal your thoughts, so that's a bonus!

You don't gotta pay $20 to have a chickpea on you.

Spotify supports this already (between any devices you're logged into), and it's suuuuuuuuuuuper nice. This is gonna be an excellent QoL upgrade.

Prove it. Pick a number in your head and make your other account guess it.

I think it's important to bear in mind that some of those things are what neurotypical folks, I guess you could call them, use to convey interest or disinterest. Eye contact is a way to express interest, and helps to show one is intently listening to the speaker. Conversely, frequently glancing away is kind of the body language equivalent of giving short "uh huh" type answers when one is trying to disengage from a conversation.

My point isn't that you should feel bad about struggling with these nuances; I just think it's worth mentioning that some of those negative reactions you may have experienced just has to do with expectations in body language. It's not that someone who's neurodivergent is being an asshole, it's just that they're sending out signals we're otherwise used to interpreting as disinterest, and that is (often) off-putting.

Again, it's not something to feel bad about, it's just communicating on different wavelengths so-to-speak. Sort of like a language/culture difference.

I think there's some nuance there too. I'm not keen on the idea of my facebook messages, or google chats, or private emails, things like that going into other peoples hands (regardless of how much I can do to stop it), but purely ad-based stuff doesn't bother me. I'm gonna be seeing ads for something, and whether or not they're things google or amazon think I might want doesn't really change the equation for me.

However, I do hold it to be true people should be in control of that if they want to. I feel like the choice is important.
