anonnyj··on Social media app just for 'females' intentionally excludes trans women
Yikes, chill with the whitephobia.
anonnyj··on Digital real estate and the digital housing crisis
I'm sure there'd be some workable ways to have people take up the same exact spot, too.
anonnyj··on TikTok trend that makes teens believe they have serious mental disorders
There's also GD but it's so trendy that you're ostracized for even daring to say it's a mental illness now. Crazy world, but as others have said designer illnesses are hardly a new thing.
anonnyj··on iPhone camera app replaces person’s head with a leaf in photo
My wife's phone produced some odd results. We went out shooting Christmas decorations around town at night... The next day when we were looking at them they appeared very much like daytime photos. WTH
anonnyj··on Using the wrong dictionary (2014)
*field

Something like "Something you do to to pass time/have fun, played on a field."

anonnyj··on The world’s biggest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 2, generates first power
Have we solved the problem of propellers breaking a lot and being nob recyclable yet?
anonnyj··on Life Circa 2050 Will Be Bad.
Many have already decided to pull the trigger and be dog moms. Earth will just be left with the non-suicidal / those that don't fall for this particular brand of propaganda.
anonnyj··on Amazon still isn't doing enough to stop bait-and-switch reviews
I received a different bike light than I ordered on Amazon (a literal Chinese knockoff) and submitted it for a replacement because it worked poorly. What I got back was another Chinese not-what-I-ordered knockoff, but it worked well... So I kept it.

Even though I came out happy it further inched me to my current position of "never buy from Amazon".

anonnyj··on The Phrase “No Evidence” Is a Red Flag for Bad Science Communication
He's been out for about a year, let it go man.
anonnyj··on Retail CEOs say online marketplaces are fueling ‘flash mob’ robberies
Can't read article so I'll reply to the headline...

They don't think it has anything to do with the push to not punish / look into thefts under X dollars?

If I was in trouble for money I don't think I'd even consider not robbing under such generous terms.

anonnyj··on Crypto exchange BitMart confirms hack resulting in loss of $150M
I like the option to be my own bank. It's a little insane for everyone to just hand all power over to The Citadel just because it's easier.
anonnyj··on Amazon is bypassing supply chain chaos with chartered ships and long-haul planes
Is it so surprising in light of the absolute pummeling brick and mortar got during covid?
anonnyj··on An alarming trend in K-12 math education: a guest post and an open letter
Such fixes are obvious, but they're "racist", and as such won't be resolved in a sane manner.

We've got molten lava in our mouths that we can neither spit nor swallow.

anonnyj··on The urinary leash: how the death of public toilets traps and trammels us all
Unbelievably racist comment.
anonnyj··on At any given university, the kids from public schools are smarter
I assume "smarter" is using the super crude definition "better grades"?
anonnyj··on Update on Omicron
2 more weeks to flatten the curve
anonnyj··on The World's Deadliest Thing
So what do you, in your western culture, do with meat?
anonnyj··on Microsoft Edge’s new ‘Buy now, pay later’ feature is the definition of bloatware
Buy Now Pay Later is yet another pink tax
anonnyj··on All adults can get a Covid vaccine booster in CA, not just those CDC listed
I hope every last person here who thinks the vaccines are amazing gets themselves and their kids shots / boosters!
anonnyj··on Texas school admin: balance Holocaust books with 'opposing' views
**s have found a nice spot in using their garbage degrees, teaching **, which many parents don't want taught to their kids.
anonnyj··on Lunar samples returned by Chang’e-5 tell of recent volcanism
In the infiniteness of time, 2 billion is a blink if the eye.
anonnyj··on I Was a Facebook Fact-Checker (2019)
You often see this thing where they debunk a claim that no one makes, and then in the body of the text admit that people's real concern is in fact true.

I can't help but feel that people who have their bias confirmed by the title rarely bother to read past it + the big red "False!"

anonnyj··on FB messenger silently censoring links, claims they were sent
Guess you missed all the 2020 election censorship since you're not in the present wrongthink category.
anonnyj··on A majority of young adults in the U.S. live with their parents
Constantly splurging on instant gratifications does the opposite of help one's mental health.
anonnyj··on New study examines ‘Achilles heel’ of cancer tumours
Mice one step closer to being immortal.
anonnyj··on Malware on My Android Phone
I really wish there was more granularity to the permissions. For the vast majority of apps, I don't want them to be able to use the internet. Seems pretty basic (other than the fact that is threatens the whole Ad ecosystem...)

Would be cool too if there was a shared file space for apps... And apps had to stay within that pen. Giving them access to all your phone's files is just wreckless. But I don't have the choice.

anonnyj··on Signs you're following a fake Twitter account
I use This Person Does Not Exist for my shitposting avatar, but I'm certainly not botting. I just can't have my spicy tweets related to my main account because people will cancel me.
anonnyj··on Almost everything on computers is perceptually slower than it was in 1983 (2017)
I hate when games do something like have their main menu be a webpage. All I care about is the start button and it takes a good 10 seconds some time just for it to pop up.
anonnyj··on Fig – Crowdfunding for video games
Thanks. I was wondering why this didn't exist already. T-shirts/in game items/early access never interested me.
anonnyj··on Show HN: I made a site that helps you find LGBT+ Travel Rankings and Gay Laws
There's a bunch of variance of acceptance depending on where exactly you are in the LGBTP+ spectrum, no? For that reason alone it seems like you'd need more granularity on the details.
