Call them about the 14th amendment section 3!

Opt out telemetry is annoying. There’s no guarantee it doesn’t send before I’ve had a chance to disable.

This is what we’re going through with my in laws right now.

This one is probably out of date now with smart TVs and few people using cable, but one of those jumbo TV remotes for people with poor eyesight/motor difficulties.

Same. With my in-laws at least. Christmas is up in the air.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to use both!

I miss that ringtone though.

I think you’re missing my point. Reread my comment. The media was reporting all super delegates as voting for Clinton even before any of them voted. Only a few states had voted. So they were showing stats like

Clinton
--------------------

Sanders
--

Making it appear like Sanders had no chance.

It’s like email! You know email?

Especially when sites like Reddit/StackExchange use admin to mean employee and moderator to mean volunteer community leader.

Do you not remember every media outlet showing all the superdelegates as voting for Clinton even before their votes had been cast making it look like Sanders stood no chance?

Like I said, I fully get the metaphor and the point being made. It’s just a funny interpretation.

I could’ve sworn Proton used e2e encryption (with other proton users I suppose) and that was part of why it didn’t integrate well with third party tools. But yes, even if it is, the majority of people/services that you email aren’t e2e encrypted so it’s very important to remember.

I get the metaphor this is making, but I can’t help but view this as everyone being passive aggressive because the character refuses to actually see a doctor about their hand lol.

I feel you, but Mastodon has about 9 million users and BlueSky has 15 million (if the first results from a search index are to be trusted), but I could not find anywhere even close to 60% of the people in this hobby on Mastodon as I have on BlueSky.

There was a very concentrated push recently of artists (I think it was artists originally) to go to BlueSky and it’s sort of echoed into similarish hobbies. So that’s probably why the user makeup is a little different.

HOLY HELL. 😳

It doesn’t ruin the analogy at all because you’d still need to plant apple trees to make an orchard! It’s just that apples aren’t true to seed so apple trees you plant give nasty apples. It’s more of a fun fact about apples lol.

Firecracker and it’s not even close. I’ve put ice cubes up there before and it wasn’t nearly as bad as you’d imagine. The shape of it will make it easy. Plus, the ridges on it mean you’ll have less ice in contact with your skin. At some point it melts and it’s just a Popsicle stick.

Edit: Additional thoughts on this because I can’t stop thinking about how goofy this is lol. I’ve cream sandwich and to a lesser degree the chipwich are tempting. The difficulty would be that they just crumble and don’t really go in, but you have to shove it in. I’m counting melted ice cream/ice that comes out after it’s in as not needing to be reinserted. I’ve cream sandwich “crust” is actually very soft so it wouldn’t be bad to have in there. It’s just the process of getting it in would be very weirdly difficult.

Many of the other choices (like the snow cone thing and push pop) have a lot of plastic parts that make it basically impossible.

The drumstick may seem tempting but it’s just gonna crack and hurt.

Once the popsicle stick of the firecracker is in, you just softly pull it out. The biggest risk is splinters, but I don’t think popsicle sticks in popsicles ever really have splinters like the loose ones you can buy for projects.

I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)

I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.

Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.
