It took me way too long to understand they meant the pool was empty of people, not empty of water …

It really depends on the circumstances. For me personally renting and investing is indeed better - but my rent is 500 Eur per month for 100m² cold and I can’t finance a similar sized house for that here. Everyone needs to do their own math for their situation.

To “hack” a ds you simply buy a 5€ flash cart and you’re done.

But the ds is a fairly new console, surely it wouldn’t even be an option in a retro cont- oh…

Boom

The time, I was trying to parse what date but it made no sense with four numbers, then on the time the seconds jumped to 98 seconds and I was like wait a second…

Aren’t those thermos specifically designed so you don’t have to drink it on one go? I’d assume the person fills them and then has a sip every so often so they don’t have to leave their desk every 30 minutes to get water.

My accounts are not anonymous. Not even my Lemmy account is, for example my husband is also a follower of my account here because I want to interact with people I know about the things I see.

But you never know how things turn out with people. You give someone you think is a friend your name on a social platform because you think you could share a meme once in a while, and it turns out they are mentally ill and screenshot all your posts, print them out and decorate their house with them. Creepy af. You make a comment about how some product looks cool and they send it to you in the mail and expect you to be grateful for it even when you don’t want it from them and never asked for it. You make one comment that can be vaguely interpreted as being unhappy with your partner like “lol my husband bought cucumbers instead of zucchini” and he will bombard him about how he is about to get dumped for being stupid and how he will replace him. Absolutely mental. But turns out if you block these kinds of people, they just forget you exist. They don’t even bother checking if they are blocked because in their head they never did anything wrong so why would they be.

I love this band

Yes, they always give 3 options and they are always sorted to mean Bad - medium - good but the adjectives often simply don’t match what’s asked, but it’s still obvious which is which and the user can’t change them. If that means those are bot reviews then I guess I’m a bot as well.

If you’re not fat you can just go through the side of the turn thingy sanifair uses for free

I guess you could also just go underneath but that seems even less dignified

Interesting, what brand and how many hours per day do you read?

I thought I would use it to read Wikipedia pages but it turns out I only really read Wikipedia when I am encountering a link on my phone or PC and while I have it set up to sync links I save to the reader, since I want to read the thing right away I’m not gonna bother switching devices. Same with articles, I never find myself switching devices to read one. Maybe it would be different if I had a daily newsletter I’d read on it but I don’t use those, while I could use the ones from my library they are always lent out at the times I’d read them.
As for writing, my device is a standard 6 inch one which I’d find too small to write on, as I already own a laptop as well which is simply more ergonomic for writing. I also tried reading manga on it for which android has some great apps, but turns out I don’t enjoy manga as a medium at all.
I do love the ereader for actually reading books, it’s so comfortable but that’s the one feature I could have on any generic one. And like I said, I use it for about 2-3 hours a day and I find myself charging it once a week.

I have an android based ereader and honestly I would buy a cheaper non android one if I had to replace it. I never really use any app besides the reader app and the battery only lasts a few days max. Non android ones last way longer because they have no stuff running in the background. Edit: not a kindle though I’m comparing it to a Tolino / kobo

We all beat him on the first try.
