The part that no one ever talks about is that a well fitted high quality suit, which is the most ubiquitous professional/ business wear for a man, is just about as comfortable as pajamas. It’s like a secret that all men share and don’t talk about because if this fact came out widely enough the jig would be up and we might have to dress in something more punishing. Jeans are often more restrictive and uncomfortable than suit pants.

Oh wow my bad. Seems more recent.

It was like six months ago. The first videos from him that I saw were the ones about Sony Trinitron TVs. That was a few years ago.

Dat gap

On a percentage basis I’ve gotten more downvotes and disagreements on Lemmy than I ever got on Reddit

I’m ok with it, I’ve got a room in my own house with a surround sound system. I recognize not everyone has this. A mix with a compressed dynamic range should always be an option.

The time on my cat’s auto feeder will not be adjusted. Makes no sense to make him adhere to this arbitrary convention humans came up with

During the pandemic the grocery store was always sold out of bread flour and sometimes yeast, and the prices of tropical plants ballooned to 2-3x the usual price, with stores sometimes selling out of inventory as soon as they got it in. Some of this I’m sure can be attributed to supply chain issues but some of it was surely also due to consumer demand.

Yeah

As someone who made bread every week and took care of a lot of plants before the pandemic and is still doing so up to the present day, I’m quite glad everyone went back to “normal” so I don’t have to fucking compete with everyone to do these parts of my life.

This is an example of kenopsia, not a liminal space.

The batteries are not soldered even in the newest Samsung phones. Everything you’d want to replace is modular. Not sure about Apple.

I’ve actually usually been impressed with my credit card provider’s ability to detect fraud. I’ll go on a trip overseas without telling them and all is well. They will flag a weird charge at a restaurant in like North Carolina though. Pretty impressive.

Nah they’re those little skewers used to hold the burger together. Might work ok as a toothpick though.

At this point you get into a philosophical discussion about what “right” really means

Dude you can just turn on the “night” mode on whatever device you’re using and completely solve your problem. You don’t blame the sun for being too bright, you just put on sun glasses.

In my experience, this is intentional. You’re watching a thing with full dynamic range sound. Honestly, the intention is for you to have a decent speaker system and to turn it up so you can hear the dialog comfortably. The loud parts will be loud and that is the intent. Why would they make the loud parts quiet? An explosion isn’t supposed to be quiet. They shouldn’t make it quiet for the sake of you listening to it through your TV’s built in speakers at 2 in the morning while the rest of the house is asleep. If you need the dynamic range to be compressed for your purposes you can do that yourself. Many devices have this option these days. My Roku has “leveling” and “night” modes which compress the dynamic range so there’s not such a difference between the quiet parts and the loud parts.
