To avoid censorship filters in social media, same with PDF files.

Every earbud I had broke at least once during their warranty period. My linkbuds S recently broke the third time. Only one of my issues was battery related, but its still nice to have the option to use them after the warranty ends.

I really hate when native English speakers use could of or would of. It makes no sense and sounds completely wrong, yet some people claim it’s just a minor mistake.

My GPU had a shitty blower cooler, switching to water-cooling made my system so much more quiet!

Are those cameras in the retail space? There are cameras at public spaces, whether it’s Walmart, the DMV or the foyer of a police station. They aren’t there to surveille employees, they are there to prevent or record crimes.

People here are advocating to have cameras in office spaces, to specifically surveil employees. What the fuck is going to happen for people in home office? That’s illegal af, at least where I come from. And who is going to monitor these cameras? The local sheriff’s office? And who is going to review all that footage?

So do you think employees being recorded by their employers is ok as well? Because it isn’t. Having to live in constant surveillance is a mark of authoritarianism.

It’s because people aren’t wired that way. There’s a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.

The idea behind it is that people make up “reasons” (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can’t just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.

That’s why Covid can’t have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can’t be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!

Society has to pay any healthcare stuff that’s caused by smoking. An earlier death and the resulting savings for the retirement fund is not enough to outweigh that.

I’ve heard “My dad is a lawyer” works for some people, but YMMV

So you bought then back in June 1933 and didn’t have the heart to throw them out?

I alegedly YouTube music and premium is super cheap if you VPN from Argentina or türkey. At least that’s what I heard (alegedly)

I’d say standing 1m in front off a bass wall with your friends at 5 in the morning.

Das ist im Deutschen definitiv ein schwieriges Thema, besonders nachdem die Frauenrechtsbewegung hierzulande so lange für die Sichtbarkeit von Frauen in bestimmten Berufen gekämpft hat. Aber ich muss sagen dass die Amerikaner da die bessere Lösung gefunden haben. Es verwendet einfach kaum jemand die explizit feminine Form. Stattdessen wird mit einem “female rapper, male nurse, police officer|woman|man” qualifiziert worum es sich handelt.

In der deutschen Sprache haben wir aber eben die Artikel und solange die da sind, schwingt bei “der Ingenieur” eben immer unterbewusst mit, dass es sich um einen Mann handelt. Wenn wir Deutschen uns mit diesen ganzen Artikeln eine so komplizierte Sprache gönnen, dürfen wir dann halt nicht meckern, dass Gendern auch kompliziert ist. Haben wir uns sozusagen selbst eingebrockt.

Let’s be honest here. The amount of people this applies to is miniscule.
