Bro. The amount of harassment I get is fucking unreal, it just happens to usually be from admins more than anyone else. But me and Picard have both had to deal with our fair share of lunatics users. Hell, I’ve got a straight up stalker who won’t stop harassing me with new accounts and shit. We just both kept posting and ignored the douchebags. Now we get regularly pinged by people saying thanks or some other compliment my autistic ass has no idea how to process. Things change.

Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?1·4 days agoHere’s the thing though. The monitor is only close if I want it. It’s in a heavy duty arm and gets moved around a lot. The TV is further away by a significant margin because I can’t afford a TV stand atm considering I also can’t afford food. But I will just switch between TV and monitor for no rhyme or reason. Sometimes during the same session. Start on one, end on another
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?1·4 days agoNot really. Sometimes it’s also just what mood I’m in. The left monitor is actually a much bigger TV with higher resolution but lower refresh rate. The right one is on an arm, curved, 165hz and hdr always works instead of some of the time but only 30 inches or so
I just… Change them whenever. No real reason
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?1·4 days ago… I switch it up depending on the game.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google AccountEnglish15·6 days agoStill are. I got a phone book delivered a week ago, I shit thee not. Granted I’m on a small island and the book is small too. But like, you can pay to have your number removed from the book. Can you have it removed from this? Not to mention all the 2FA stuff that can be connected to the phone number. Someone clones your number or takes it and suddenly they’ve got access to a whole lot of your login stuff.

Stamets@lemmy.worldto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Oil company funds computer game that promotes fossil fuels to schoolchildrenEnglish141·7 days agoI’m not remotely surprised. When I was going to school here in Canada in like Year 9, I realized all the computers at the school had a logo on them that wasn’t familiar as a computer company. It was, however, familiar as the oil company locally. All of the electronics in the school, which were fairly new, all had a logo of one of the three major companies in the area. No doubt tax write off stuff of upgrading computers and donating them to the school but the logo being on there always felt scummy as hell. It was large and prominent. They were openly advertising themselves to kids to get in their good graces before they were ever adults.
Making whole ass games was only the logical next step to target kids.
Good god… Worst I’ve seen so far here in Canada (granted I’m on an island stuck 20 years behind everyone else) was the pump screen flashing to show a loyalty program like AirMiles or PC Optimum or something and none of them have audio.
I think you probably didn’t dilute it enough. The vinegar smell evaporates pretty quickly here and its not a nose blindness thing because first time my old roommate did it I was shocked how fast it disappeared.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had an irl evil lair or HQ, what would the elevator or dungeon music be? ¡Explain urself!English4·9 days ago100% this. A Vampiric Tango. I’ve been building my world lately and one nation is the Vampirium of Lemriss. Been listening to this for some inspiration. A beautiful blend of seductive and menacing.
White Vinegar + Water is actually a solid floor cleaner. I’ve never heard of adding lemon juice to it though. One cup of white veingar to one gallon of water is what works for me and what I usually see. There is cleaning vinegar as well that’s more concentrated and can be watered down even more to achieve the same results.
I’m pretty much stuck with vinegar at this point. I’ve got a cat and this is guaranteed cat safe. She’s also adjusted to the smell because her previous owner used to use vinegar to clean floors as well.
Re-liquify Trumps bronzer and have it drip down his neck.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?English2·17 days agoThat’s valid lol closest I have is the one I’m using at the moment. I’ve made a couple ones for myself but that’s about it. I’ve had more than enough memes made about me (which is surreal enough as it is), so I’m good lol
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?English6·17 days agoWonder the same thing a lot. I change mine up semi-regularly, same with my profile banner, but that’s just me being bored.
The thing that drives me insane is when a community doesn’t use the icon. The FUCK ARE YOU DOING.
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If someone gave you 5 billion dollars to improve the world in any way you see fit, what would you do?English53·22 days agoStep 1) Pay my rent for the next 10 years. Freaking out about it month to month is shredding years off of my life span. Also buy a new hard drive because I ran out of space for memes earlier today…
Step 2) Go to the grocery store and get a shitload of groceries, distilled water and cat food so that isn’t a concern for a long time. I can not eat. The cat? Not so much.
Step 3) At the grocery store, buy every single gift card they have. I mean all of them, not just the ones on the shelves. I’d go to the manager and say to get someone for me and me alone. Open a till and go through every box of every gift card, activate them all and sell all of them to me. ALL OF THEM.
Step 4) Go to every food bank in my city and give them every gift card as well as a massive cash donation. Some of the gift cards are for the staff. Otherwise 30% goes to various purchases that will help if they wanna keep the cash for a while. The other 70% gets put in with stuff that people pick up.
Step 5) Find every charity in my local area and pay them out. Reach their goals and then some.
Step 6) Make an agreement with the city to fund an ENTIRE overhaul of the transit system. My city isn’t very big but the transit here is horrific. City won’t make moves on it because cost of shifting it around will mess with the budget. So, I pay for it and over the course of a very long time, I take an incredibly small amount of any money gained from transit over the amount they made prior to overhaul. That money does not go to me but instead back into those local charities.
Step 7) Open my own vet clinic that has pricing based off of income. It’d be about the same prices as any other vets in the area overall, but if you make below a certain amount then the price drops. Keeps dropping based on how much you make. So much so that if you are homeless (as I used to be) with no income at all, you can have your furry friend treated at no charge. Hire someone who is exceptionally good at destroying competition and have them do absolutely everything in their power to obliterate any other vet clinics in the area. Absolutely fucking destroy them until they can no longer function because they simply do not have enough patients. Only those with no other option than to go to them because of travel distance. When they are utterly desperate and about to be foreclosed on, give them a generous payout as well as a hiring offer. Convert their location into another branch of my own with the same low income stipulations. No one deserves to be worried about their friend simply because they cannot afford it.
Step 8) Hire a bunch of Star Trek actors to come to Newfoundland for the biggest Trek convention ever, ideally by having the Star Trek cruise set off from there after a big blowout. Brings in a ton of tourism from nerds with disposable income and as we have some pretty exceptional views you don’t get anywhere else, we can cross over the tourism WITH the Trek. Make a big festival saying it’s a new planet or something. This is 100% just personal love but it can help the island too so why not?
Step 9) Invest in small-scale renewables and set up programs to help lower-income people lower their electricity costs (heating in my area is all electric so the prices are fucking absurd in winter). Have solar panels or whatever else hooked up with peoples homes and have the programs set to help mantain them at a minimal cost, ideally at least 30% lower than current electricity costs. That’s about $400 a year saved.
Step 10) Make some deal with the provincial government to get the moose fences set up faster. It’s a local thing.
Step 11) ALL REMAINING MONEY is to be invested in trains on the island. Absolutely none exist at the moment. We shut down the railway in Newfoundland in the 80s or 90s. First off, I’m autistic and love trains. Second, trains would make travel around this island insanely fucking easy. Requires more upkeep with the weather but as it stands the road system is awful, it takes too long to transport anything anywhere and we only have one bus route that crosses the island. It sucks and is a miserable experience. Set up a train hub at Port-Aux-Basques with spidering networks that go out to the various hotspots on the island.
Edit: Lmao the downvotes are hysterical
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placeboEnglish132·26 days agoExactly. You just have to try harder to be a better person, that’s all
Stamets@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placeboEnglish254·26 days agoOh you were new to even reddit. The thing you want is something that was only added there a few years ago. Before it worked the exact same way as it does here.
Sorry, we just expect you to be an adult and not care about the numbers. That’s why there isn’t a count on your page. Do you know how often I have people follow me around in my comments to downvote me? A lot. Know what I do? Nothing because I’m over 30.

Literal tears. I cannot stop laughing
The head admin of your instance permanently banned me a year ago for no reason. I only just found out yesterday and messaged them asking what gives. They had no idea either, couldn’t remember and unbanned me. Everyone else on basically any other instance had no issue. More info on what happened.
