What Era was the best and why was it the 90s? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I love the excess of the Y2K Era. Everything was so much more beautiful, unique, and strange. Everything after seemed like an attempt to "dial it back."

King St in Alexandria is wonderful at night in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Love visiting there, such a beautiful place. Had family in Alexandria in the 90s who've retired and moved to the country now, still love to get up there when I can.

KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (6 children)

This + some other quirks are what have kept me off KDE for a good while. I understand wanting to do things differently, possibly easier -- but it's hard to break old habits.

I'm a big fan of the sniper elite series, but they may be a bit newer than what you are looking for.

8-Month-Old Baby Drowns in Bathtub While Mom Was Allegedly on Her Phone for 20 Minutes in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Possibly so, from living with my wife's postpartum firsthand a few years back and helping her along the way I just have a lot more sympathy now for a woman who just had a large parasite in her traumatically exit the body and then consume every bit of her existence to survive. She's in survival mode as well and the actions don't always make sense but she's definitely not being negligent or malicious.

Hot take, how sad it is that content on the phone is so addictive you'd forget your baby's in the bathtub. Perfect way to hijack the mind of a tired new mother.

You, yeah you there on the other side of the screen, you should fry up some garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas). It's delicious and costs like $2 tops. in c/[email protected]

I approve this.

Google says it's killing 17 Assistant features to improve the user experience in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's curious to me if they could have deprecated and refused to support these features rather than take them out. They might run until they don't, ya know? When they did this last year and removed "let's play a game" my kid was pretty bummed that we couldn't have game show games on road trips anymore. I'm sure these things may disappoint some people.

This app lets restaurants and coffee shops charge to use the bathroom in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Around 03/04 - Near the Eiffel tower - walked into a restaurant, asked for the restroom, was sent down the stairs, found the door had one of those things like a gumball machine on it where you put coins in and turn the handle to unlock the door. The urgency I had to go forced me to pay for it, go in the bushes outside (police everywhere), or go in my pants.
