American English Lesson: The word “shit”

It’s definitely an issue Rick ran into.

My understanding is that a civilisation capable of running a simulation like that would have access to enormous, possibly near-infinte amounts of power (like tapping black holes for energy).

I use Calibre.

That was my thoughts - this is no way to teach them about dispute resolution. OP seems to be focusing in the wrong thing (as everyone deals with things different) and they need relationship counselling.

Perhaps they meant “brush against thighs”.

I’ve been using Quillpad as a Google Keep replacement as it does things like checklists better.

Indeed. Lemmy/Mastodon integration isn’t the best, so we’ll see if it punches through.

You rang.

Seems like Obsidian could easily address this need [on Android] by adding a widget feature. Allow the user to pin a note to the home screen like Google Keep, or tap the widget to open a lightweight markdown editor which saves to a new file in the vault.

From the linked article it does sound like they are aware of the issue and will come up with a fix. For now, I’m happy with ZN but we’ll see.

The article does suggest iOS options for Mobile Quick Capture - Drafts and Shortcuts. Might be worth a try.

No problem, I’ve only been using it a month or so, and haven’t really dug into all features yet but there’s a lot to like - the markdown editing is very smooth (with lists, including check boxes, automatically generating on a new line) and I’ve started drafting longer Lemmy posts in it too.

I have some niggles, like the YAML “note_type: task” producing a much nicer check box list but it seems to stop line wrapping. I’d also like checked items moved down the list. However, the developer is, apparently, approachable so I may drop them a line or note.

Good second half too:

That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.

It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.

I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.

And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.

For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on

That’s why we are all here.

It’s interesting to think that Big Tech might just move on from the Web, leaving it to us ordinary humans to go back to the way we were doing it in Web 1.0 just with fancier tools at our disposal. I quite like the idea.

And being antifeminist doesn’t even benefit them that much.

The only people benefitting are those peddling the lies to disgruntled young men, partly as a grift and partly as misdirection from the real sources of their issues.

But at the same time I don’t see how much people who are not cis men can do so much to really help them.

And it shouldn’t be your job to fix young men but I am as stumped as you and I worry about people like my nephew who is early teens.

There’s !mensliberation@lemmy.ca but I don’t know if that’s not just preaching to the converted.

My point was that cishet men may have it hard to find someone because they are not catching up with progressive and emancipatory values.

It’s worse than that - things seem to be regressing, with a widening political divide between men and women, especially noticeable in the younger adults.

It definitely feels like the modest progress that was made is now being eroded away

Keelhaul the offenders, oh Black Pharaoh¡

It feels like there’s an opportunity for shenanigans here.

Really the only trick they missed was turning it into a pyramid scheme but that might sneak in if you use the app a lot, although imagine the “success rate” on this is abysmal and a lot of users will drop out quickly.

If you are an open-minded cis dude who respects women and sees them as equal human beings you’ll have no problem finding anyone.

It’s not always that simple. For example, I cared for my Dad 24/7 which involved a convoluted pill regime (and a series of alarms throughout the day). My social life took a real hit. There are also mental and physical health issues, as well as financial aspects.

All that said, anyone thinking this is the solution deserves to be scammed because it is hardly informed consent.

This seems to be sleazy conmen faking interactions with women to convince wannabe pick-up artists to pay for their app. It’s like some new circle of Hell.

That’s fascinating, thanks for the information.

I suppose a hand doesn’t naturally have much fat in it, so using fat to bulk it out can have odd side effects.
