Excellent question. Any time my power goes out I know that i have to unplug my PC to get it to wake up
threads is a great way to ban anyone who doesn’t think just like me. And i know what to think because the mainstream media tells me how to think
Like where are all those cassette players?
The changes came quick. Remember just before them 8 track players. I still remember having one of those mounted under the dash of my car. Right after the cassettes came CD’s. Remember how you could burn your own CD. Then came digital. Remember Ipods. I still have an Ipod without blue tooth. You have to plug headphones into it to hear the music. My newest car doesn’t even offer a CD player anymore.
There is also a reverse phenomenon. At some point older people are just overwhelmed with the new things and have no clue when younger people mention them. I’m thinking about video games specifically. Most old people ended their video game days with “asteroids” as an arcade game.
Still remember all the times that the tape would hang out and I would use a pencil to rewind it.
It honestly got a bit too addicting so the slower pace here at Lemmy is a welcome change.
THIS is an excellent observation. Reddit became an addiction. I wasted hours a day there. I like it here. Less drama and I spend far less time with it.
Perfectly stated. There is a big difference between shaming someone that is significantly overweight vs. coming out and saying that it doesn’t affect your health. The few people I know that are in the obese category will outright tell you that they don’t want to be overweight. But they struggle with it just like someone sincerely wanting to stop smoking.
If I wanted to protest a police action that I thought was unjust I would do it peacefully so that others would consider my view and give it some thought. If I wanted to be sure to turn many off to my view I would engage in the destruction of property.
Thank you so much for the tip
I still do both regular reading and audio. I definitely find that some narrators hold my attention better than others. I need to start noting the narrators along with the subject matter.
Yes. They are the person that you completely trust. Even more so than any blood relative. And the reverse is that there is nothing that you would not do for them.
thank you for the tip. I will look around
Before you are administered gas you will be on an IV drip of propofol and midazolam and they will inhibit conscious memory processes
