I think 2h is optimal. Not too long, but can still fit a proper story with enough time for development.
90 minutes is enough for children/family movies

One of those Lemmy moments when you’re getting downvoted for pointing out the uncomfortable truth.

Trans ppl modify their bodies -> body positivity Some terrible people modify their bodies -> they are ugly and mentally ill

*slow clap*

Daddy and Napal Baji are even better songs, IMO. But like all PSY songs, are better experienced as MVs.

You were at 100 upvotes in my Voyager tracker. Now have to start all over… :(

The smarter option would have been to make it a cylinder, still rollable, with less carving.

Is that where those backgrounds come from?

Smiling is not just an appearance. There have been several studies that show smiling improves person’s mood, even when it’s artificial. It’s called Facial Feedback Hypothesis. So yes, being reminded to smile, can be a genuine advice to improve one’s mood. It’s still not the best approach though.

I don’t think it necessarily takes a “controlling personality” to tell somebody to smile more. It can totally be the case, but it can also be a misguided attempt at giving unsolicited advice. Would it be better for everyone if people smiled more? Absolutely, but it’s not always possible, and telling somebody to do it is unlikely to help.

Me: I wish you to tell me truthfully, exactly how many wishes I have remaining.

It has already been concluded on another post that Lemmy is antisocial media.

Jeffrey “The Big” Lebowski. Not to be confused with Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski. Especially in financial matters.

I’m aware of slash commands. If it’s a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What’s your source for this? I’m pretty sure “/s” means “end of sarcasm”, borrowed from XML/HTML.

Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn’t some weird bracket, it’s meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning “end of sarcasm”. In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.

Thanks for that etymology bit. I wonder why I never bothered to check, but it makes perfect sense, as I know Turkish.

And yeah, I should have used “sometimes” not “usually”. Pan fried shawarma is a thing, while döner isn’t, so depending on the way it’s prepared it may technically not be kebab.

Btw, kebab doesn’t need to involve any bread element whatsoever. In fact, in places that use the term natively, it usually isn’t. Kebab is just any grilled meat on a stick, and often is just the equivalent of BBQ.

Fun fact for you: All döner is kebab, but not all kebab is döner. Because döner is just a type of kebab (grilled meat on a stick). Which also means that shawarma’s status as kebab is questionable, as it’s usually sometimes roasted or pan fried, as far as I know.

Now that’s husband-attracting outfit!

Standard issue slave-girl uniform.

He will also never attract a husband.

I saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.
