  • i learned from appreciating those rare and beautiful versions of “i don’t know who hear to this but…” that are unironically wholesome and sincere. somebody someday might see something we wrote and feel better, be encouraged, or grow wiser. knowing how many neurodiverse people come through Lemmy and would click on that greentext because they identify with it… knowing they might explore the comments too? i want those future people to come away better than they were before they approached, even if only in a teeny tiny infinitesimal way!

    I would congratulate OOP for this. this is how it’s done. in fact, it’s refreshingly normal. they were probably alarmed that it wasn’t innuendo or an attempt to hit on them. a lot of their hesitancy might have been their metaphorical "threat radar"s proverbially “overheating” as they strove to detect SOME sign of impropriety, and feeling even more alarmed when they couldn’t. Which is why one of them reciprocated socially, to test the waters. Whether OOP knew it or not, he made a disarming impression, which is good. Stay good, OOP!

    Also, MAN, having assignments that pre-date the very first day of class is annoying >_< i’ve had that at least twice in my years of being a student as well, but it’s usually just a way for the professor/instructor to get an idea of what their student group’s level of understanding is for the material so they have a better idea of how to hit the ground running after they go over the usual First Day Stuff.

    you can sense the change in air pressure as several walls of NUH-UH are rapidly approaching your position to explain in excruciating detail why and how the point you made wasn’t nearly as reasonable as you believed it had been. or just yell at you a lot >_>;

    How I arrived upon my stance regarding elections.

    There is nothing any one person can do on an individual basis to make the candidate they want to win actually succeed, especially if the aristocratic establishment is dead set on stopping them with all their resources, power, connections, and influence.

    But what will make me feel better is if the candidate I despise the most loses. And voting for their biggest challenger out of spite, although incapable of amendong the above problem, can at least perform the singular at least satisfying consolation function of scratching an itch.

    They want us to support the lesser of two evils;

    I want us to punish the greater of two evils.

    We are not the same.

    The lesser evil must, unfortunately, wait until the greater evil is dealt with. Then we can kill it too.

    Business before pleasure.

    I think he should be saying “Hmm, no…?” Because “oh” is an interjection of surprise but “Hmm” is a murmur of premeditation. Also, the vibe of a hesitant question contrasts the excitement and assertive certainly of an exclamation point.


  • I’m still rocking a Galaxy Note 9 from 2018. Somehow still performs surprisingly well, holds a charge for longer than 24 hours, and I just don’t feel like the phones that came after it really offer that much of an advantage technologically. I don’t have any app slowdown or latency issues, really. I’m not about to drop several hundred dollars upwards of a thousand to get a meager incremental gain AND lose my treasured headphone jack which I still use on a weekly basis. I loved the note 8 and prior to that owned a note 4. I’m not sure what I even want to settle for from where I am right now. I know it’ll never happen, but I still ardently wish that the note 9 would just get a refresh, all the same features and structures (including the headphone jack!!!) but with newer versions OF the GPU, the CPU, the RAM, the solid state storage, a 5g antenna… The cameras were fine. Don’t even need better cameras. Oh well…
