The American public school system as it currently exists is largely a joke.

...as I upvote you from my Pixel. ☹️ I give the sad face because Google isn't who they once were and I'm just going to have to deal with that.

I would've broken a man's arm for an Amiga 500. All I ever had growing up was a Vic-20.

Made me think of something that Brett Easton Ellis would write.

I smoked for a decade and have been quit for 19 years.

I donate to Planned Parenthood AND I don't eat at Chick-fil-A. Win-win.

Hehehehehehe

I'd have to say the hair comb.

It's not you. If I'm at a RESTAURANT and can't hear my friends, I leave. I won't spend money at a place I have to yell to be heard (unless there's a band I specifically want to see or I'm at a bar, but even bars have limits).

Stewart can play both roles on his own. He will not hesitate to call EITHER side out.

That is one diabolic curse. Diane, remind me to never piss off Empricorn.

I'm no doctor, but you may want to check these out.

I said "publicly." I wasn't commenting on the fact that you corrected someone, but the fact you did so publicly.

Ah, gotcha.

If you can tell what the person means, there's no reason to publicly correct their spelling or grammar.

Could a grease monkey script do something similar? I'm probably just talking out of my butt, but it seems like GM can sometimes do things easier or better (or just at all) that extensions can't or won't do.

Reminds me of the episode of The Office where Jim tricks Dwight into being his own assistant.

Baby removed. That's poetry.

The Notebook, but it's on the moon.

Since I'm able to share gif, jpg, png files with no problem, then, yeah, I'm going to say this is webp's fault. Yes, I'm blaming a file format. /s(?)

No, I don't hate a file format, I hate its lack of support.

Can you recommend a good one?

FB Messenger Lite is one of those that doesn't.

I'm using FB Messenger Lite. Telegram may have the same problem, but I'm 100% on that.

Hadn't even thought of that. From what I've seen, changing the file extension just makes the file unusable.

Call me weird, but I have never once salivated to the smell of any wood.

Turning the thermostat up will either cool the house or warm it. Turning the thermostat down will either warm the house or cool it.

replacing Biden now may help Trump win, but it may also help Trump lose, whereas in contrast NOT replacing Biden now may help Trump lose, or it could help Trump win.

Either that quote doesn't really mean anything, or maybe I'm missing the nuance to it.

Excellent idea! Done and done!

I came to Lemmy to get away from Reddit, not to reminisce about how good it used to be.

It's great on road trips! About a decade ago, my wife and I loaded up the car and just sorta started heading south. We were on the road for about four weeks using nothing but Yelp and Gmaps. It was great!

Alli block fat absorption, I don't think the two you mentioned do.

I've been using Gmaps since forever and can say I've never had any problem with it. I mean, it took me to the business office instead of the main entrance to a theme park once, but I can hardly fault it for that. Calling it actual hot trash just seems so out of nowhere to me. It's a fine product that I've had great experience with.

Salesmen of north-eastern Pennsylvania, I ask you once more: Rise and be worthy of this historical hour! No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself!

I'm going to put an lgbtq+ flag in my classroom next year. I don't expect anything to come of it, but you never know.

If you don't shop there to begin with, continuing to not shop there isn't boycotting.

I had to buy a Clicker for college in a day when any number of phone apps, or even the Smart board, would have done exactly the same thing. I think it cost about $150 and the only thing it did -- THE ONLY THING IT DID -- was serve as an expensive and drastically crippled version of Kahoot. Abject waste of money for all parties involved.

Dr. Sbaitso says "'sup."

I've never gotten Handbrake to do anything I wanted. DVD Shrink, on the other hand, is one of my top five most-used apps. It's quite old, but DVD encryption hasn't changed since its release.

It's the level of commitment. You can start and stop online activities with almost no preparation or planning. When you watch a movie, you have to mentally prepare yourself to be in one spot and paying attention to one thing for an hour and a half. When you play video games, it takes effort to turn on the console or launch Steam / Epic / whatever.

I'll see what's up, as long as it doesn't require admin rights.
