_number8_@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panicEnglish0·1 year agothat was the worst fucking thing i’ve seen on tv in my life. holy shit that was depressing. yet it feels incredibly vindicating seeing every single media outlet openly say ‘that was a disaster, he should probably be out’. that was an absolute failure. rescheduling the debate would look better than that shit.

I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.English3·1 year agothey get paid like $2/hr when actually out on a delivery, it’s pathetic and is absolutely no reason to justify the fee

_number8_@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I fucking hate the job searchEnglish59·1 year agowhy does everyone have to have “excellent” skills? just logically not everyone can have excellent skills, or there wouldn’t be excellent skills. i very much doubt everyone currently working there also has equally “excellent” skills. you can’t just say you have to be perfect. i fucking hate this shit
_number8_@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•when google bought datasets from redditEnglish6·1 year agoagain, this is all long term executive function that you are generally incapable of performing or even contemplating when depressed. maybe you can protestant-work-ethic yourself out of depression but that doesn’t mean everyone can. oh yeah lemme just keep being fucking harsh with myself, that’s the ticket.
what i want to hear is
- take a bath
- have chamomile tea, it binds to your GABA receptors
- go outside to breath the fresh air and look at the moon
- etc
simple, actionable things that don’t have barely-hidden contempt or disinterest behind them
_number8_@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•when google bought datasets from redditEnglish129·1 year agoi like how the answers are the exact same generic unhelpful drivel you hear 20k times a month if you’re depressed as well. real improvement there. when people google that they want immediate relief, not fucking oh go for a walk every day, no shit. the triviality of the suggestion makes the depression worse because you know it’s going to do nothing the first week besides make you feel sweaty and looked at and alone. like if i’m feeling recovered enough to go walk every day then i’m already feeling good enough that i don’t need to be googling about depression tips. this shit drives me insane.
_number8_@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming servicesEnglish5·1 year agoI literally watch TV through a capture card right now out of stubbornness and principle. Anything I want to record, I can just hit a button and safely keep. No DRM preventing me from taking screenshots, I can manipulate the picture to hide obnoxious graphics or ads (great for sports); the sense of control is extremely gratifying.
_number8_@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming servicesEnglish0·1 year agoWhen record companies make a fuss about the danger of “piracy”, they’re not talking about violent attacks on shipping. What they complain about is the sharing of copies of music, an activity in which millions of people participate in a spirit of cooperation. The term “piracy” is used by record companies to demonize sharing and cooperation by equating them to kidnaping, murder and theft.
_number8_@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming servicesEnglish43·1 year agoi tried to get into streaming but i grew increasingly uncomfortable with paying forever as titles appear and disappear at the whim of suits. how could that possibly be a pleasant UX for customers?
i’d take the hassle of having discs or managing a server any day of the week over paying these goons for access to their files which they happily negotiate away for financial reasons. it’s just a disgusting paradigm. when netflix was starting streaming, i thought (i was like 15) we were emerging into a great new age, where every show you could ever want was on one beautiful service.
now they won’t even let you share accounts or screenshot the fucking show (a pig-headed anti-piracy measure which is mind-blowingly stupid given every single show on there is available for free if you know where to look ANYWAY. what are they DOING.)
fuck streaming, fuck netflix, fuck spotify. crash and burn. topple like the house of cards you are.
