Thank you for teaching me some new words

I’m sure you’ll find it very useful. A whopping 0,06% of the worlds population speaks finnish lol

Thats why I like it so much :) Too bad theres no “good” equivalent in English and the chirpy way of saying it doesn’t carry over text.

The same reason why removing the artist and song title from a mp3 file is a moronic thing to do.

Leaving your devices behind is pretty nice anyway.

A few years ago I found my old mp3 player and as a joke I threw some music in it and took it with me for my walk. Its like less than half the weight and size of my phone, so that alone was nice. It felt like I was carrying nothing at all.

Then all the urges to take a picture of some stupid bird or a nice cloud went away, saving me the trouble of deleting those pictures after realizing that no one has opened the file and no one will. It also was pretty nice to know that if someone calls me, I won’t even know about it. So my walk wont be interrupted. It somehow made my brain more relaxed. Now I leave my phone at home pretty much all the time. I only take it if I’m gone for extended period of time or if I’m going to actually need it. I don’t even take it with me when I go meet a friend, I just tell them to meet me at a place and a time.

Might as well piggyback this thread.

RES had a setting called “collapse inline media” that collapsed the gifs and images in comments. Is there a way to do that for lemmy?

Also, is there a way to move the “collapse comment tree” button to the top of the comment instead of the bottom? Often times I know I want to collapse a comment from the first few words and then have to scroll down, collapse it and then, if the comment is long or has a giant picture on it, scroll back up because after collapsing the comment I’m like 3 comments below from where I started.

Kagi.com is alright.

Because you have to pay for it (or create new email addresses to get a trial period)

In Finnish we have a phrase “ei kurjuutta kummempaa” which is said in a happy, jolly way and its usually accepted as “not great but I don’t want to expand on it.” It translates to “nothing worse than misery.”

This is what I do. Either ignore it or just say “yes” and move on to the main topic of the day.

I used to answer somewhat truthfully, but I dunno, answering “horrible, I want to kill myself” every time tends to bring people down and sort of ruins the mood. So its just easier to skip the question. And like you said, nobody notices, they don’t really care. So why should I bother answering when its of no use. People who really want to know usually ask again and almost demand an answer, if you do ignore them.

Yeah I said I’d be happy to help you, the individual, if I could, but I cant. And I don’t care that I can’t. Reason being, what russia is doing to Ukraine and Ukrainians.

Once Ukraine is secured and alright, I’ll see if I have any fucks left to give to russians.

lol yup, this one again. I read the title and knew exactly which user posted it. Answer in a snarky way, she gets upset and insulted. Try to be friendly, she tells you she doesn’t want friends or help.

Like I said last time, I sympathize with her awful situation. But whining and then yelling at people on lemmy isn’t really productive or helpful. She seems to use her account as a means to vent in general. And thats fine and understandable. But it would be nice if russians would find a way to do that amongst themself or directed at the people responsible for their predicament.

But alas, its easier to yell at westerners.

Your husband probably did some real work. These old stinky politicians haven’t really done much else except sit on their arses and shout orders to others. I don’t think thats something you get much satisfaction out of, so they end up chasing the dragon, so to speak.

Or they are just miserable and evil cunts.

Maybe the books author is just a bit shit at explaining things? :D

A sudden commotion destroyed the moment: the door flew open and two angry men wearing the coarse faded-blue robes and belts of the Cruxwan University burst into the room, thrusting aside the ineffectual flunkies who tried to bar their way.

‘We demand admission!’ shouted the younger of the two men, elbowing a pretty young secretary in the throat.

‘Come on,’ shouted the older one, ‘you can’t keep us out!’ He pushed a junior programmer back through the door.

‘We demand that you can’t keep us out!’ bawled the younger one, though he was now firmly inside the room and no further attempts were being made to stop him.

‘Who are you?’ said Lunkwill, rising angrily from his seat. ‘What do you want?’

‘I am Majikthise!’ announced the older one.

‘And I demand that I am Vroomfondel!’ shouted the younger one.

Majikthise turned on Vroomfondel. ‘It’s all right,’ he explained angrily, ‘you don’t need to demand that.’

‘All right!’ bawled Vroomfondel, banging on a nearby desk. ‘I am Vroomfondel, and that is not a demand, that is a solid fact! What we demand is solid facts!’

‘No we don’t!’ exclaimed Majikthise in irritation. ‘That is precisely what we don’t demand!’

Scarcely pausing for breath, Vroomfondel shouted, ‘We don’t demand solid facts! What we demand is a total absence of solid facts. I demand that I may or may not be Vroomfondel!’

‘But who the devil are you?’ exclaimed an outraged Fook.

‘We,’ said Majikthise, ‘are Philosophers.’

‘Though we may not be,’ said Vroomfondel, waving a warning finger at the programmers.

‘Yes we are,’ insisted Majikthise. ‘We are quite definitely here as representatives of the Amalgamated Union of Philosophers, Sages, Luminaries and Other Thinking Persons, and we want this machine off, and we want it off now!’

Perhaps you need a more entry-level book to read first?

I’d rather ask that question from a human. Plenty of people, who understand these things, are hanging around discussion boards, chat rooms and what not.

After a LLM decided that a quote I was looking for, was said by a Chamberlain, a comic book character (https://comicvine.gamespot.com/chamberlain/4005-61139/), instead of Neville Chamberlain, a real world politician… I haven’t been able to trust anything that comes out of those things.

These days I use LLM’s as search tool. Perhaps you could try to do the same, ask the machine to find you a page, blog or discussion, where that particular thing is being discussed. Or just find a philosophy forum and ask people there.

… or don’t bother with philosophy. I dont. Its a waste of time ;D

Pillow forts it is then!

No, sadly I don’t have any experience of building pillow forts with cosplayers. Truly a missed life experience.

Same. But its not aimed at people like us

Bed games? Do you mean sex or pillow fighting or building pillow forts?

You can’t fight nazis with a empty stomach, you silly sausage.

It’s even theorized that so many people died that global temperature dropped as a result.

I think you and I just solved the climate crisis! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_4J4uor3JE
