It’s the exclusivity bullshit that gets me.
It could be: New movie is released! Anyone who pays the price tag gets to stream it!
But no, we must bidding war gouge.
On top of that, X Y and Z services exist in America, but not in other countries, so in this other country, everything is on Netflix, while I had to jump between three different services at one point just to watch Stargate
Still waiting for Twitter to die first. Been waiting for a decade to see Facebook die. I’m not hopeful
How about deep diving? It’s not easy and consistent with one app, but it’s pretty satisfying to be the one figuring stuff out.
Or local city planning. Future plans on what to build and where. Doesn’t update as frequently, but it’s something to circle back to on occasion, or you might want to get involved and go to a meeting.
Some people like to listen to police scanners, or alternatively there is usually someone with a social media account who posts just the most important or funniest transmissions from the city/county/whatever
Or you could get an idle game app that you occasionally need to pop into to collect money and upgrade.
Start day trading?
Portland airport parking garage has these lights at each spot, along with a digital sign at the start of each level telling you the number of open standard spots and handicap spots on that level
Who are you so wise in the ways of science?
The book is better and way nerdier. If you want ultimate nerdiness, the audiobook is narrated by Wil Wheaton!
Takes one to know one
Ubuntu was my training wheels 15 years ago
Thanks, I’d never seen that! It’s pretty glorious itself
Best intro EVER
Alternative facts, thank you very much
The team acknowledges that other forces could be at play that might explain the behavior that they simulated but suggest they are less likely.

Haha yes we are comparing these things! Only due to semantics are they apples to oranges. We lazily call the ovum “egg”, but also the shelled “reproductive body” laid by birds, reptiles, etc. The same word with two listed definitions in the dictionary.
You look at the human’s plate and your mind conjures the word egg (definition 1), and so on the second plate you believe there should also be an egg (definition 2)
I look at the plate and see the various necessities for reproduction, which exist in both humans and chickens. The ovum IS on the human’s plate already, but so is all the other stuff!
If it’s “chicken period” vs “human period”, then the other plate should also contain various other period stuff, too, if that’s what you like.
Also isn’t it odd the shelled object is an “egg” no matter if fertilized or how long the fetus has gestated?
On the man’s plate are all the things that I listed, so I think it only fair that the chicken get the proportional features!
Unfertilized chicken eggs come with amniotic fluids, nutrition (what the placenta carries) and connectors between them. I didn’t say fertilized
More like the ovule, amniotic sac, umbilical cord, and placenta
I’m so skewed this direction that I’ll scroll past the sponsored version of the link in a Google search to click on the exact, unsponsored version. I don’t know why.
Go into app or play store and sort by most downloaded. They’re pretty exclusively a list of games and apps that you find advertised.
I’m my circle, people are seeming to become more willing to admit they got something from an ad. I feel like there used to be shame behind it
The most frequent lately has been women buying their clothes from Instagram ads. The argument they have made is that they see SO MANY ads, the one they choose to spend money on was because they wanted it and that apparently is a solid vetting process. But this is people in my sphere, I dunno if it’s a thing.
I used a Google TV stick and for sick of the bullshit ads and switched to a simple launcher. In reddit and lemmy threads, there are always highly up voted people who are happy to get “popular recommendations”.
The generality, I feel like, is people are busy living their lives, don’t want to research and learn about everything in their life, and just go with what they see.
I need a fix while waiting for silk song. So this looks like it!
