Where did you think „getting knocked up“ came from?

I love this in principle but I can’t use it myself. I‘m a very fast reader by default, basically already doing what the highlighting tries to make you do, without it needing to be there. The highlighting disrupts that for me. I end up stopping at every word and partially jumping back and forth. I do show this to people on occasion that aren’t as lucky as me with their reading speed and most said it helped them. Not all though.

I strongly suspect, I wouldn’t like whatever „music“ anon listens to either

Epic Games Bragged About Beating Steam’s Boot Times So Valve Dropped A Patch
As much as I dislike Epic, it’s good that they’re at least trying to compete with Valve. Forces them to actually get out patches like that.

Ultimate toaster design tier list
This list is missing the Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster, which is utterly unique, and, imo, absolutely S-Tier.

This post probably isn’t about sex but about gender. Those are two very different albeit related concepts. Sure, biology is mostly binary (although not quite as black and white, if you’re looking at any other features than gamete types. Femininity and masculinity do not define themselves by gamete type), but psychology very much isn’t binary.

YSK: Arte.tv, the European culture channel has free shows, documentaries and concerts.
Not loving arte is an immediate red flag, imo. They’re one of the few reasons I have no problem in the slightest paying my GEZ.

HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.

If you actually give a fuck about image quality beyond size and brightness, digital signage also isn’t really an option. You won’t find many commercial oled displays, for example.
Best option for home entertainment, imo, is still a consumer TV, that you just never connect to the internet and use a set top box with, instead.

There’s no place to socialize though. I wouldn’t know where I could meet people my age (20s) that doesn’t cost money or includes activities that I don’t like (e.g. clubbing).

Nah, there are a lot of glass and plastic bottles that do get reused a couple of times. You can oftentimes even spot a characteristic ring of scratch marks from the machines that process, clean and refill the bottles.
Typical „Mehrwegflaschen“ are
There are multiple standardised types and sizes that are used by a multitude of brands. They are not recycled but reused. (Well, they do get recycled, once they are either broken or show heavy signs of use. The „Normbrunnenflasche“, the 0,7L standard bottle for water, for example, gets refilled about 100 times.)
And of course there is the „Pfand“ (deposit) system: Depending on the type of bottle, you usually pay a 8ct or 15ct deposit on the bottles. The system works pretty well.
Of course, there’s also a lot of one way bottles. Those usually have a 25ct deposit and are not reusable but get recycled instead. They’re usually also being brought back to the store, people want their 25ct back after all. (And yes, I know a lot of them aren’t actually recycled but end up at a landfill all the same).
And of course, there are also a lot of glass bottles that are not being reused and instead recycled by default like wine bottles or some non-standard types.

Microsoft punishes idiots who purchased a "perpetual" license of Office 2019 for Mac by disabling it next month, pirates unaffected

They don’t have a history of undoing perpetual licenses though. I mean, I know people who still use a licensed copy of office 2000

Exactly. I mean, I’m sure I’ve seen some GenAI imagery that I didn’t notice as such but a lot of the time, it just immediately trips some subconscious uncanny valley detector

Yea, pan here, too. That’s how I always understood it. Gets a bit more nuanced though, when you include omnisexuality.

Moana is probably my favourite animated movie. I see absolute zero reason to watch the remake.

Ich halte Vulgärsprache in gewissen Situationen durchaus für angemessen und sie unterstreicht hier sehr schön den emotionalen Zustand des Kommentators.

Yea, the analogy is coherent. It’s wrong, but it is coherent. Her understanding of trans women apparently seems to be that they’re nominally about the same as cross dressers. Has she ever talked to a psychologist, sociologist or neurologist who specializes in the topic? Or even gasp a trans person?
This has been said many times but still: Fuck her.
