It would be annoying, but to be fair, it’s the Mac Mini, which is small and easy to pick up. I would guess you could just tip the corner up to press the button.

I still think it’s a dumb design. It’s going to confuse everyday users

Thank you! I’ve tried setting up CoD: Black Ops, both DODI and FitGirl repacks and have had issues. I will try following these steps, thanks

I’m not entirely sure how ad blockers work, but my understanding was they prevent things loading from certain URLs. If the ads are embedded into the video, then there’s no ad-specific URL to block

While the overall video would be a different length, video players often don’t count the ads towards the media time. So the deep links should be okay

It also doesn’t have an algorithm, which would make it difficult to find content you want when there are loads of creators

My jaw.

That’s a great idea. And you get more content!

Fear is the mind-killer

Years ago, I bought headphones that were ¼ of the price of the big name Bose and Sony’s and provided at least ¾ the experience. When I wore them so much they eventually broke years later, I purchased some more from their website. Turns out they have been taking orders and haven’t been delivering products. Their Facebook page still posts ads and the comments are people talking about how it was a scam. That’s $170 dollars I won’t get back. It’s weird because I really liked their product and had no reason to think they would suddenly stop delivering. Very strange.

Brand is Cowin, by the way.

Yeah it’s tricky. Using “female” as a noun in a non-biological context is often used by incels and misogynists in order to dehumanise women. Whereas there isn’t the same trend of certain groups using “male” to dehumanise men, or at least I’ve never heard of it happening in real life.

In a vacuum, both would be the same, but because there is a much larger trend of using “female” to dehumanise women than using “male” to dehumanise men, it’s not a true double-standard.

And as long as you’re not being a dick, especially if English isn’t your native language, then people will know what you mean. But if you are consciously trying to make an effort, then don’t use “female” and “male” as nouns to refer to someone’s gender.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. It’s very inspiring and I have some ideas to try

I find it tricky to just meet people with no shared topic to discuss, like at parties. I love clubs because everyone is there for a shared reason, whether it be board games, video games, a sport, a craft, etc. This means there’s always something to talk about when breaking the ice and I find that much more comfortable. Highly recommend clubs

Learning from others’ mistakes is real. I’ve learned a lot from my dad that way—I say that I’ve learned to so basically the opposite of what my dad does

That is such a good way of looking at it. You’re spot on

That’s the good shit

I agree that’s a great acronym

Is there a way to say OPQRST that isn’t just reading each letter? Because if not then that is a mouthful

What does WOMBAT stand for?

I do the same thing. My brain kept misinterpreting ACAB for a while and usually slotted in “cat” for some reason until I figured out what it meant

Yikes, I’ve never seen these ones before but I hope they’re confined to the back alleys of the internet and you don’t see them too much
