Unmatched someone: I was talking about how the movie Avatar is a blatant allegory for native/indigenous populations and the person got offended that I would “put real life events into a movie about blue people”

Time.

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

Bonus points for also including favourite and/or most interesting.

Currently playing a video game and a NPC called me this. It’s a pre-boomer term as I’ve always known. So, I thought it’d be fun to see who gets close to the definition.

A friend of mine referred to his nose as his “beak” and I was like, I can use that. What other funny names can I use for my aging body parts?

I used to think social media was good because thanks to them, governments couldn’t fabricate false narratives. But it turns out that they are still doing it.

I usually don’t even understand the lingo they use. “Open-weighted” is the most recent one, then it usually goes down to specific “models” that everybody is supposed to know about.

I want to create a persistent live USB of Debian and I wanted to use Veracrypt to protect the drive. From my understanding, when you boot up the drive, it doesn’t ask for a password. so if someone were to get a hold of the drive, they can just get immediate access. Also, I know it’s also recommend to encrypt your drives to protect your data. I want to know if it’s possible to do that.

Big inspiration for the question is the assertion I’ve seen on Lemmy a few times that this user base is as bad/misogynistic/hateful. But also just curious.

A while backed I figured that if I like eating from clean dishes my pets would too. So I got some cheap enamel metal bowls and use clean ones for my dog and cat.

This past week, someone thought I was still in high school (sometimes known as secondary school), but I’m actually at least ten years older.

When they took away the candy names and nerfed multitasking.

Other than going on Lemmy lol.

whats your thought on open relationship? if both living in different states

Product ownership is going down the tube lately.

Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!

It is the longest officially software supported iPhone.

Cleaning out the vents, changing the thermal paste, replacing the system battery.

What FOSS app do you use guys to measure health?

I gotta record the required online packets to help bring back multiplayer games.

EA has shutdown the servers on April 28, 2026.

Storytime: a patient came into my unit with a controlled medication (I don’t remember what maybe oxy? Ativan?). Per policy, I was waiting for the pharmacy tech to come up, verify my count, and take it down to their safe. It might take a minute, so I got my count done and left the medication in its destined serial-numbered bag, visible on camera on the counter in the med room.

I have absolutely no clue how this stuff works, so forgive me if the question stands on a false premise.

I know it depends on the volume, but want to know at least aproximately. I have never used perfume on a daily basis and I am really curious about how often do people need to buy it, if using almost every day?

If you answer with New York, you’re a basic bitch.

I know that there’s people who are at least 100 years old or above in Japan, as their life expectancy is higher. The shortest answer is diet & portion sizes: since Japanese cuisine consists of seafood, rice, soybeans, and seasonal vegetables. Most portion sizes are controlled and turn out being smaller with a cultural practice of 腹八分 (はらはちぶん) or eat until about 80% full. (They opt for cold, green or hot tea rather than sodas).

I’ve been working on a development board for a while now. To finalize the product, some people recommend printing a case (I don’t have a 3D printer). Do you have any other suggestions (the most fun ones are also welcome), or should I invest in this type of machine?

I’m writing a program that can find info about a phone number. One problem appears to be that Google’s phone number library doesn’t provide enough info. For instance, take this number: +1 (613) 745-1576. My iPhone correctly says “Ottawa, Ontario, Canada”, while Google’s library doesn’t return the city? How does my iPhone pick this up but not Google’s own library? Is this provided by cell carriers? Is it something with the 745 block? If so, where can I find this info?

I (23M) had an abusive upbringing. In early childhood, my father beat me and told me I was weak when I cried out in pain and begged for mercy. Since then, I learned that I was unlovable because I expressed vulnerability and neediness instead of silently enduring the pain, and that others would expect me to be strong and take things “like a man.”

I’m pretty sure there are only 5 love languages. But if there are more I’m unaware of please let me know. I’ve listed mine below from most important to least.

For me it was 2018.

What do you make of dreams that don’t make sense one bit…is it your subconscious fighting with your conscience (if you are conscious when sleeping that is); regressions of some sort…?

I’ve heard that apparently, Japanese pronunciation is simpler to pick up (anime, games, etc). when you hear it spoken. As in, when foreigners learn it: they find that easier to listen to than spoken Mandarin since there’s no tones in Japanese (rather pitch accent, but it’s not the same as it could be understood based on context even if said wrong) while Mandarin places a huge emphasis on tones that change the definition completely.

A few years ago anything you wanted to search for would generate hundreds of pages of results. From sources all over. If you structured your query well you could dramatically cut down the irrelevant results and then spend a bit of time skimming through the offerings until you found your target.

I would say with the release of windows 8.

I haven’t been to one before.

Strong games, free multiplayer and way less greed.

I have heard from a lot of people that in 60s or 70s, there was this culture common. People doing LSDs, dancing, having strange aesthetics, entry of Eastern religions into West and all that spirituality and if I am not wrong, conservative institutions of that time in West like church, families, and etc. did not like that and were in opposition of that.

I enjoy the subjects I majored in, history and geography but something I simply cannot is dealing with bratty children who for whatever reason consider a teacher an enemy.

Don’t have to say a name, something like “local thai place” is fine.

Working on a website for my sister. I got some grainy gifs and a visitor counter. What else?

There are insights I’ve learned through my life as a Buddhist and neurodivergent person I’d like to share on platforms, and occasionally, some contemporary topics I’d like to weigh in on for the same reason. I’ve also been encouraged by different people in the space based on what I’ve shared.

I wanna play the levels again!

Life is a shit show. The cycle continues.. Perhaps it’s important to celebrate the small things, like a weekly anniversary. Do you observe a weekly tribute to the passing of time- either a beverage, a moment, an all-day outlook, etc.? Which day do you pick and what’s the significance?
