While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I’ve never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack…
I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.
If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn’t that big a deal to me. Although I’d probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I’m connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn’t come with me.
Thanks for letting me know that that community exists! It’s one of my favourite subreddit so there being a Lemmy alternative is great news!
Is that the stuff that comes in a little glass vial?
When I was more active in ED spaces, shows like these were really popular. I watched a lot of Supersize v Superskinny but didn’t really bother with the others.
Came from a starved mindset where I so obsessed with food and weight that I only wanted to watch stuff that related directly to food and weight.
There was also discussion in ED spaces I was in about how the stuff that these shows were doing was unhealthy and fucked up but had been deemed entertainment and therefore permissable. But us doing similar stuff was (rightfully) seen as fucked up.
I want to stress that no one in the communities I was in was ever judging the contestants. The only people we were viewing negatively were the producers who were putting people in danger and also like, ourselves.
I’d also really recommend the New Zealand and Australian versions! (NZ Series 1 takes a bit to find it’s groove but Series 2 is probably my favourite series of any Taskmaster)
Sorry for the over enthusiastic reply, this morning my friend got us both tickets to the Australian Series 3 studio record and I’m very excited about it…

Since I watched Series 4 in 2021, I don’t think a week has gone by that I haven’t watched an episode, or at least a clip, of some iteration of Taskmaster.
Such a lovely show!
My only issue with Cowboy Bebop is that my brain autocorrects it to Cowbop Beboy.
I know it’s less scary than the others, but I also really fucking love Bly Manor.
Also, I recently rewatched Lake Mungo and saw a lot of similarities with Nell’s story from Hill House. Turns out Mike Flanagan has said that Lake Mungo was an inspiration!
Barely related; but I use a square of astroturf to stop my cat tracking which works really well! Unfortunately, because it made the place look so aggressively, manufactured suburban green, I was forced to create a whole
Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from “making a video when they have a topic they care about”, which was still quite frequent, to “scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience” and it’s really killed the magic.
Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it’s not for me anymore.
Two relevant quotes from this articlePaywalled link, I’m afraid
A summary of the book the author (Dr Linsey McGoey) wrote on the subject: “billionaires who make their fortunes through corporate practices that undercut workers and deepen inequality — like corporate tax avoidance, insufficient sick pay and the immoral gap in pay between executives and low-paid workers — are not the solution to problems they generate.”
“Asking Bill Gates to fix inequality is like asking an arsonist to hose down your house after he just set it on fire. Philanthropists might have the deep pockets to fund the fire engine and water hose, but the money is coming from making our houses unlivable in the first place.”
My whole childhood the Gates was touted as this super altruistic, good rich person who was all about charity. It was only after I found out about the whole Oxford vaccine thing (indenting my aside/rant)
Gate’s urged Oxford to exclusively allow AstraZeneca the rights to their vaccine “rather than sticking to the university’s own guidance that any deal it makes include non-exclusive and royalty-free licensing”, a deal with no guarantee of accessibility or affordability. Given that the vast majority of the funding of this vaccine was public funds…fuck that.
that I found out that the Foundation was always just a way to rehabilitate an image of ruthlessness I never knew he had. I guess it worked, given how he was discussed when I was growing up, but hopefully he won’t be able to do it again.
It’s interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I’ve seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.
Although, I’d love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn’t feel as unproductive if the videos are educational…
Yeah, plus it feels like the trends for my age group are just the trends from younger people, but with a slight delay
Also the sole completely detaching
The manosphere shit actually doesn’t bother me as much as the very casual, low effort stuff on meme communities that just make me feel completely valueless and like nothing will ever change.
Recently found a FF extension that works with RES to make the old.reddit mobile site…not a nightmare to use…
Now I pretty much just open reddit when I want tech news and/or feel hopeless…
