Yep, he's literally Hitler, just without the mass genocide (yet).

We've always wondered how so many people followed Hitler, now we know

"Oh you got one of our machines for cheaper than we sell it? Well, now you have to pay $95 just to use it!"

Fuck these companies.

SmartTube for Android TV is a must as well

Doesn't mayo usually have vinegar in it though?

Clearly you haven't been looking for a job lately...

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

No wonder I've only had 4 interviews in 9 months. The job application process is fucking ridiculous right now.

They can be, respectable breeders will usually do it outside of their dog's own gene pool (mating them with another owner's dog that has the same desired qualities), but there are definitely breeders that keep it within the gene pool in order to maximize the desired genes being expressed.

Smart Watches are pretty much garbage. I was contemplating getting one for years, but always decided against it. When I got my S23 Ultra about 2 years ago, they gave me an offer of a "free" Gear 3, but I had to pay $5/month for the LTE service. I decided it was a good deal and accepted.

It wasn't. The battery on it doesn't even last 24 hours so it's always dead at some point when I would like to use it other than just to tell time, the UI is clunky, and the cell connection is slow as hell. Attempting to download an audiobook via Audible takes like 5-10 minutes.

I've had YouTube Premium since the days when it was called YouTube Red, so like a decade. I've grown used to not seeing any ads from Google and anytime I watch a video not using my account it's torture.

A lot of creators have just turned into corporate shills. I stopped watching ETA Prime's channel about tech reviews because it was becoming pretty clear that mostly everything he got was paid for by the company. Also, most creators are putting their own ads into their content.

 

This has to be the most beautiful version of Careless Whisper I've ever heard. It was posted six years ago, but thousands of us only discovered it a few days ago in a YouTube short uploaded by a different account.

I went to post it on Reddit under /r/BeAmazed (even though that sub has been garbage for years)... and apparently you can now only post links to there from Reddit itself and IMGUR 😂

 

I'm a dude, but I frequently browse BadWomansAnatomy. I was having a (calm, respectful) debate with a few users regarding how a lot of people that have "transitioned" still bear hallmarks of their former gender (I mentioned one of my long time friends who has gone from MTF and still looks the same. Kaitlin and Elliot are also good examples). The ban was because I dared to use the "dead names" of Elliot Page and Kaitlin Jenner! Oh the horror! 😱

I went to post in /r/rant how I just thought it was ridiculous and it was autoremoved because I mentioned the world "mod" in the title and I mentioned a specific community 🤣

 

I saw this on a (scammy) dating app and thought it was hilarious.

 

I started lifting weights (again) and accurately tracking my progress (I bought a "cheap" workout and weight loss plan, which requires a lot of data so you can see your progress (or regress)). When bench pressing and doing squats on the (Cybex) Smith Machine I had assumed that the bar weighed 45 pounds like a free bar does and added it to the total weight. It wasn't until my most recent session (finished about 30 minutes ago) that I realized that the bar doesn't in fact weigh 45 pounds....but weighs anywhere from 7 to 30 pounds, according to what I saw from a quick search. I should have realized that it wasn't 45 pounds because it felt pretty light. Google says that the average weight tends to be about 15 pounds, but I have no idea.

I was also using the (Cybex) overhead should press machine and saw that the plates past 50 pounds went in 15 pound increments. Then I noticed the additional weight at the top, disabled by a pin. When I lowered it down on to the stack there was no number on it. Was it 5 pounds? 7.5 pounds? 10 pounds? Who knows?

How are people supposed to know how much weight they're lifting if things aren't numbered properly? They have these huge stickers that say everything, but they can't put "bar weighs 15 lbs" on it?

 

Each bar is wrapped in cellophane, which are then wrapped in the normal outer packaging. To make the 4 pack, they simply took 2x two packs and put them on a cardboard tray,and then wrapped those.

I don't think I've ever gone through so much unwrapping for candy.
