My ex GF bought me those and they were great for the first 12 months then they both deformed.

Help you keep the shape when sliding the foot in, especially in nicer shoes.

No. I just have large feet. All my shoes are in great condition and the reason I use a shoehorn is to protect the backs.

 

I feel like I've tried everything available in all the stores, at the shoe stores, I've bought the "good" ones off Amazon, the DUBEFWEE style brands too.

They all break or deform within a year, I can't take it

Protip... Long zip tie and cut teeth into the edges with little snips.

Think about how fast a point on the equator of the Earth moves relative to a point a few cm away from the North Pole.

In one full rotation of the Earth, the point on the equator will have traveled 40,000 km, and the point by the North Pole will have traveled a meter.

So... it's that it's a useless way to express rotation.

Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.

That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.

Boost died today. I'm done with Reddit forever.

When the API fiasco went down, I backed away from all the communities I created over a decade ago and just walked away from modding.

Now I go to not participating.

I hate Reddit, and I have fun memories at the same time. I was like the 50th sign up, I even emailed spez his own source code because he had his web server badly configured to report verbose errors.

Oh well.

You can see that underneath the hideous butchering, she was probably a gorgeous woman in her natural form.

 
 

I have 30 pictures of 6 months of weight loss pics. In all of them I'm standing in the same background in the same position. I'm willing to do a little bit of *cutting out" backgrounds and drawing nodes if I need to.

I don't have the money for expensive software, so I'm hoping for something free or open source, even if it means I have to do extra work.

I just would like to show something about Reddit. Below is a post I made about how Reddit was literally harassing and specifically targeting me, after I let slip in a comment one day that I was sober - I had previously never made such a comment because my sobriety journey was personal, and I never wanted to define myself or pigeonhole myself as a "recovering person".

I reported the recommended subs and ads to Reddit Admins multiple times and was told there was nothing they could do about it.

I posted a screenshot to DangerousDesign and it flew up to like 5K+ votes in like 30 minutes before admins removed it. I later reposted it to AssholeDesign where it nestled into 2K+ votes before shadow-vanishing.

Yes, Reddit and similar are definitely responsible for a lot of suffering and pain at the expense of humans in the pursuit of profit. After it blew up and front-paged, "magically" my home page didn't have booze related ads/subs/recs any more! What a totally mystery how that happened /s

The post in question, and a perfect "outing" of how Reddit continually tracks and tailors the User Experience specifically to exploit human frailty for their own gains.

Edit: Oh and the hilarious part that many people won't let go (when shown this) is that it says it's based on my activity in the Drunk reddit which I had never once been to, commented in, posted in, or was even aware of. So that just makes it worse.

For fuck sakes, can we not do this on Lemmy

 

I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

 

Yesterday's leftover beef and broiled potato, mashed and formed into a donut-inspired shape and baked It was delicious.

 

One chestnut from my history in lottery game development:

While our security staff was incredibly tight and did a generally good job, oftentimes levels of paranoia were off the charts.

Once they went around hot gluing shut all of the "unnecessary" USB ports in our PCs under the premise of mitigating data theft via thumb drive, while ignoring that we were all Internet-connected and VPNs are a thing, also that every machine had a RW optical drive.

 

If you're thinking of buying Z now - the modern remake is a careless trash port FYI

 

Perhaps I'm being difficult, but I'm not deriving pleasure from documentaries the way I used to. I realize I'm speaking in generalities, please humor me.

I find the presentation of most modern docs so hyperdramatic and forced, it detracts from the underlying subject matter.

I would prefer if documentaries tried their best to collect and present information in a fascinating way, and present it as reasonably neutral as possible, with some leeway for the author's voice. I don't appreciate it when the superficial presentation constantly tries to cue me emotionally.

I really don't understand why I have to have violen symphony music playing like it's the eve of world war 3, and all the nukes are about to be launched, when I'm watching a documentary about snail parasites or particle collider research.

Even though it's different auditorially, to me it's the same principle as applying a laugh track to a comedy show. I don't need it suggested to me when something is funny, and I don't need to be cued by string orchestra music that something is serious or worrisome. Please trust me to make these judgments on my own!

I think all trends ebb and flow but this one seems to have taken root and it's doesn't seem to be letting up.

I wonder if other people feel this way, or if I'm just watching the wrong things?
