They did aim theirs more directly at you but that first time I read the exchange it did feel like yours had a similar (though less stated) contempt for OP. I can see now that you didn’t necessarily intend that tone to be directed at OP but rather about the situation itself, but that misinterpretation did feel like it was setting a hostile stage that OP’s reply wasn’t an excessive escalation over.

And my last edit was just to say that even if you had intended that snark, it wasn’t (IMO) an unacceptable amount to begin with, but then commenting on the hostility in the response (which I agree wasn’t harsh itself) felt like you were playing the victim because someone fought back in a fight you started.

Btw, this isn’t an attempt to shame you or make you feel bad or anything. I’m only engaging with you about this because you did seem to be asking about the hostility in good faith and I could see why both of you were getting so many downvotes and upvotes from that exchange. Though not sure how useful my analysis will be here, considering it all started from a misinterpreted comment in the first place rather than intended hostility lol.

Small enough that it’s vicious kinda look just makes it cuter.

Yeah but when you come in with a tone that is based on previous interactions rather than the current one, anyone who doesn’t know the previous context is going to see you as the combatative and the other commenter as just matching your energy.

Edit: Note that I don’t think your original tone is the issue here, but how you acted like they were out of line for returning the energy felt very… tone deaf.

Guessing this is deliberate to enable warrantless use of the resource by people who wouldn’t have been authorized to use it in the first place.

Your “I mean… Yeah?” set the tone here.

Old reddit only stopped working for me while logged out for like a day before one of the browser extensions I was using automatically updated and I think it uses the main site to render it as the old site without logging in.

Yeah, I’ve been assuming that plastic isn’t something I want anywhere near my food but can only really control plastic contact with my food inside my place. Most comes packaged in plastic. I think glass jars and produce/things produced in the store are the only things that don’t automatically come in contact with plastic, though in practice it’s only the glass jars that continue to avoid it because the stores provide plastic packaging for produce and their other stuff like meat/deli cuts or baked goods.

And I’d be surprised if the contents inside the glass jars aren’t typically stored in plastic between the farm and the jarring plant, though at least there the bins are likely large enough that contact is minimal for anything not at the edges.

Yeah, the AI based “AI detectors” are themselves slop.

Obvious response to drone killing lasers is a convex mirror finish, then anyone looking at the drone when the defense system kicks in could be blinded.

Why would they need an excuse? Are you implying that “war crime” has any meaning to them (or anyone else with the power to do anything about them)?

Seems I’m in a rare group where I think leashing kids is fine but also think that joking about it is fine. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Edit: fixed smiley (maybe?)

I remember them wanting me to pay for that, but I also remember getting a cable that allowed me to connect my PC to my phone and do whatever I wanted with the filesystem. The ringtones were in a different format but I got a converter and had the FF7 battle music for a ring tone.

I also recall some phones supporting MP3s for listening to music (though storage space was tiny) but not supporting them as a ringtone once connecting to PCs to share files was more common.

They also sold wallpapers, emoticon packs, and themes.

Yeah, I could be wrong, but I think any improvement after a stroke is a sign that the brain can still rewire itself to improve at that age. And I don’t just mean “recovers to normal” but any functional loss that is subsequently compensated for is the brain adapting to its new reality.

IMO the biggest barrier to development isn’t age but a stubborn desire to not learn, which can happen at any age and can vary in a single individual per topic.

Though I do wonder how a brain can end up wiring itself to not want to continue improving. Lack of nutrients such that continued attempts at development could result in the whole thing falling apart?

Not sure if this is still the case, but I see some do the reverse to get around the “no extra fees for using a CC” rule: instead of adding fees when using a CC, they set the prices higher by that fee all the time but then offer a discount for cash or debit payments.

Yeah, that and I was already wary of Google by the time using your phone to pay was a thing and it was an even bigger “fuck no” than when they and MS wanted me to hand over my files for them to store instead of using the perfectly good storage I have at home.

Food isn’t constantly touching plastic :)

And I have some glass ones that do stack, as in they fit into themselves, albeit not as tightly as a plastic set. Or another set that nests a smaller one inside of the bigger one with lids on, then I stack the big ones on top of each other.

Also, they don’t change colour as they age or stain depending on what was in them or how much iron was in the water when they were cleaned.

That 25 number is just the age they stopped that study at, not some magical number where everyone is now officially mature. The human brain continues developing through your life.

For the fly, find Janeway, she will make it her mission to kill both of the hybrid entities, which might result in you going back to normal.

Edit: Or it might result in Janeway becoming like Jason and always slowly walking towards you with a machete. At which point I think you need to recruit Freddy to deal with her.

I kinda want to try this with hot dog water but I’m not sure I can afford that.

I’ve started retiring sentimental shirts early so they don’t wear down like that. They aren’t really shirts anymore, but shirt-like objects tied to memories.
