Question Anything

I like Team Rockets from the Pokemon anime (not the "to protect the world" part, the chamber number with the harp and saxamaphone)

Beyond the polite "Hey, how's it going". Close enough to hang out at each other's apartment, maybe even ask them to water your plants or feed your pet while you're away.

I was born and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family. Became a theistic Satanist in the 1980s - more specifically a Luciferian. It even got me a conscription exemption. Still one to this day.

Musk and his friends are planning right now , on how to handle the menace.

Now that 2024 is coming to the end and Christmas around the corner, have you considered any donations to be given? If yes where?

I think it's a fun question. I'd argue that sanity doesn't exist, as the concept of sanity is constructed entirely of opinions--if a concept is made up of opinions, then the concept itself is an opinion, and is therefore entirely hypothetical.

What music do you know that would be nice to listen to while under a heating lamp being nice and warm and nourished?

On a Xbox controller, do you use just your index finger to alternate between LB and L and RB and R? Or do you use your index and middle fingers placed respectively on each individual trigger? Or do you have a completely different setup?

Got a burning question you want to ask someone from the US like "Why is the imperial system superior" or "Why is Texas"? Join us over at [email protected] ([email protected] for the mbin users) and find out the definitive answer. You can also just chat if you don't have questions, because this is the land of the free and there are no laws 🇺🇸🦅 (there are actually, please be nice)

Wrong answers acceptable

I get that there is probably a more complex answer in reality, and probably an objective ranking, but I’m interested in what people’s perceptions are.

Here’s one I love: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." – Steve Jobs.

Firstly, no idea about the origin of this phrase, but it seems like a poorly constructed idea that is broad enough to generate discussions on any point of view that you want.

Not only will you die, but so will your entire family and your pets.

I mean like:

Non only sexual, just ridiculous, hilarious and cringe positions where if someone saw you, they were more than justified in thinking the worst situation.

It's been over a month since the temporary ban on US Politics was implemented in AskLemmy. This post is a poll to see if the community wants it made permanent, or removed.

Asking for a friend

Personally, I find it endlessly frustrating and even terrifying to be in the passenger seat with a driver who jumps in the car and immediately goes.. Then worries about Seatbelts/Radio/AC/Mirrors/Plugging in Phone/etc etc while driving.

Hello, I'm not that informed about UBI, but here is my arguement:

What should I do?

Likee head shots, do hand models have "hand shots"?

I graduated high school aged 20, Ask Me Anything

I know it’s a broad question, but I currently have T-Mobile and the price is alright but I have an iPhone 11 and looking to get a 16 Pro Max for myself and a 16 Pro. But, T-Mobile has mentioned it will mean an increase in my plan from $89 a month, for my current 2 iPhone 11’s and 2 Apple watches, to $180 monthly for 5G.

I've seen $50 electronic items advertised as stocking stuffers. But for me that seems way extravagant. I think the term refers to candy and silly little goobers, that cost a few bucks. But I know inflation has been crazy so maybe my sense of numbers just hasn't caught up. Thoughts?

I was using Moon+ reader, but it has a pause at each chapter and ads.

My grandparents practically don't leave their home anymore. So the next time I visit them, I would like to show them something they have not experienced or seen before.

I've got heart problems which means my feet are pretty swollen, so normal shoes aren't really comfortable anymore. I've been wearing Alterras and I love them and the wide toe box, but the wide sizes are only in a boring color. So I'm looking for suggestions from you lovely folks.

Lots of focus now around the flaws of the american healthcare system. What can we do now to ensure a better future?

It annoys me even though I'm still in the U.S.

Cows aren't super tall, nor is the occasional tractor. Why do barns often have roofs three stories high?

I've been searching online for some trinket/budget gifts but couldn't find anything interesting. The person I have in mind for the gift is in his 60's, into tech and a geek, although the gift doesn't necessarily need to cater to his geeky side.

Seriously, why? And why people don’t think that’s weird?

Health insurance at its core is very simple. You put money in, you go to doctor, insurance pay doctor. But in the USA, the insurance denies everything they possibly can. Money put in doesn't ever see a doctor or your health costs, it goes right to the stockholders....

120 cm tall here. Very happy with it.

Hey people, during my school years, we always had to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom. Like "May I use the bathroom?", if they said no we were left to our devices which I think is inhumane.( Was a victim myself) What do you guys think especially the teachers about this system considering how difficult it is to manage classroom discipline?

Okay weird hypotheticals again lol:

Mine is that at my age (barely made it into Gen Z on the old end) I just found out today that a Bo Weevil is an insect (beetle) and not some kind of mole or similar rodent.

Reddit has so many bots, formulaic comments, and clear patterns (reposts, call-and-response, joke chains, & copypasta), that it seems useful to farm Lemmy for more unique comments performing well to steal.

Looking for recommendations for good ear protection during concerts. I want ear buds that don't just muffle all the sound but limit higher unsafe frequencies while allowing you to still enjoy the music. I did a search and came up with a bunch of different kinds and varying reviews on amazon, I also asked my friend who is in the live audio business and he said I needed custom molded IEMs but that seemed a little over kill for me, even if it's the best way.

What are the opinions you've heard from people you've met in real life? I know the internet seems to have consensus, but the internet is not always representative of the real world.

I've used Lemmur in the past but lately I've realized that the web client is perfectly usable on mobile, much more so than most other social media. This is probably a testament to non-profit-driven development because the web client is really light, scales perfectly to an app-like form factor, there's no weird behavior with the touchscreen instead of a mouse, and it also gives you all the features of the site instead of arbitrary not letting you do more advanced stuff because they want you to download the app. It also has the extra benefit that it syncs my browsing history to desktop so you pick up where you left off. Since making this latest account I have not felt the need to download an app at all and have been right at home using it from the browser.

All I've been able to find are cherry picked words and sentences the police tell the press in both's attempts to spin it for their narratives.

The self-immolation, the most non-violent form of protest, no longer works. After Aaron Bushnell that I have heard about, there ware two more attempts that I didn't. (Matt Nelson and Samuel Mena Jr)

i know that once you do bad things in the world you aren't considered pure or innocent anymore, but well maybe you aren't innocent but you can be pure?? if you did bad things can you be pure again?? this is not about religion but rather the truth of being a person yea!!

In the USA. Would be great if the calculator also had a state version but it's ok if not.

I find this situation quite strange.

Whenever someone has to highlight the fact that when they're telling a story from 30 years ago or longer, that they 'didn't have smartphones'. Like yeah, I don't expect someone from 1995 to have such a device and the closest things you've got were PDAs.

Can your intelligence effect your speech and articulation? I found this interesting post on Reddit earlier about this topic. I really feel this post as someone with speech disorders and a intellectual disability I've wondered this before. Is it true tho?

this is a continuation to my post 'where do you draw the line if you ponder quitting a job?'

Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

Hello there, I’m a 21 year old guy from Germany and have very strong depression because of the constant abusive, toxic and manipulative behavior that I received from my parents since I was a kid.

With the recent news about Authy blocking access for GrapheneOS, I'm looking for ways to export my 2FA before it locks me out. From what I can tell, the previous methods of using the Desktop app no longer work.

So you buy a nice two shelf bookcase but it's wobbly and you know it won't hold much. I've recently gotten one and my solution was to put L-brackets on it. After installing about 8 of these brackets at the cojoining parts of the shelving, it is now completely stable and ready for use.

Everyone has one. lets try to recognize and be grateful of what we have!

Virtual desktops are here for a long time, and I never got comfortable with them. One of the main reasons that it takes effort to think and assign different desktops for different workflows/situations, and when you do that - it is still not easy to track in which desktop you are at the moment. Usually you have to look for some little number or highlighted square somewher in the taskbar, which is a distraction.

When all of your exes get to happily move on in relationships that aren't you and you get nobody for extended periods of time.

Was originally thinking of posting Lenmy content on Reddit to less directly advertise Lemmy, but in the communities I follow, its almost exclusively content or already posted to, or directly originating from Reddit. This got me wondering if there were any niches that Lemmy serves better than other, larger platforms.

A few days ago, I was recommended one of her videos but didn't really watch it then... Now I just feel like checking her channel out again, but its name has escaped my head. From my memory (may be incorrect), the video came out recently (not more than a couple of months ago I guess), and it was about how differences in the way some Nvidia GPUs were constructed caused them to overheat.

sometimes, even if i don't dream of anything, i wake up feeling like i got a lot of friends or talked to a lot of people or got popular or something like that and got like a million email notifications and stuff!! has anyone felt like that before??

What is our famous phrase for putting strain on websites? So we have it ready for when we reach critical mass one day.

Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?

And, should I change?

How did it play out?

As opposed to needing to dip their toes in "illegal" conduct and making their income streams unsound or too risky in terms of legal liabillity by doing ransom demands

I wonder if its a Lemming 😅

Really wanna go all Austin Powers on it molé molé molé style with a stick

"Artistic __"???

I am developing a game, and I want some assets for it. i was thinking of drawing some assets and then ask the "AI" to generate xyz based on my drawing style.

Reservoir Dogs (1992): A crime thriller about a group of criminals whose diamond heist goes awry, leading them to suspect one of their own is an undercover cop.

What are the benefits of using those sites?

Follow-up: For those with children, do you continue the ruse with your own children, or simply tell them it’s you who gives the gifts? Why or why not?

I just saw this post about landlords being parasitic. While I agree in some points - mainly that by owning more property than you need for yourself, you’re driving up the price for others who want to buy a property. However, I don’t want to buy property when I move. I don’t have the funds for it, and I’m happy with a rented flat. Sure I want to get my own property at some point, however I’m also sure I want to move at least two more times in my life. Buying and selling each time sounds like a lot of hassle. Also, I live in a shared flat, that just sounds like a legal nightmare if the ownership changed every time someone moved out. How does this fit together? Are there solutions to this that don't require landlords to exist?

Fortune Teller's house from Link to the Past

I would imagine it was harder to get information on topics as you would've had to buy/borrow encyclopedias to do.

*Edit: JFC, I've been physically ill at the thought that I was just trying to justify choosing something that was just shitty behavior. I haven't even been all that comfortable talking to my therapist about it as much as I've needed to. And reading every single response (so far)..... well i'm in literal tears over the relief I feel not being alone in thought. Thank you. *

I took him in this May. Been taking care of him since then. Things are great now, and I just don’t see the need to go through all of that bureaucracy / involve the authorities if things are already going smoothly as they are. Plus to be completely honest I don’t really trust the system. Because the current situation is an informal adoption from what I’ve read.

And, if you are comfortable with sharing, what are some of the worst things that you've seen?

For me it is Mondegreen: which is a misheard lyric, word or phrase that becomes popular and gives it new meaning.

Reason I'm asking is because I have an aunt that owns like maybe 3 - 5 (not sure the exact amount) small townhouses around the city (well, when I say "city" think of like the areas around a city where theres no tall buildings, but only small 2-3 stories single family homes in the neighborhood) and have these houses up for rent, and honestly, my aunt and her husband doesn't seem like a terrible people. They still work a normal job, and have to pay taxes like everyone else have to. They still have their own debts to pay. I'm not sure exactly how, but my parents say they did a combination of saving up money and taking loans from banks to be able to buy these properties, fix them, then put them up for rent. They don't overcharge, and usually charge slightly below the market to retain tenants, and fix things (or hire people to fix things) when their tenants request them.
