Academia Gone Wild, a community for showing off funny, quirky, and bizarre excerpts from academic texts
  • I had the opposite problem. I wanted to link a friend to the community on lemmy.world ...

    https://lemmy.world/c/academiagonewild

    I won't be joining this one myself, as my tolerance for such things is low ... or excessive, depending on who you ask. Firmly nestled Among other things for which I should avoid any excuse, or enablers, tbh.

  • The Struggle
  • There is a point at which we have not struggled enough to understand and empathise with our elders, sure, but almost 100% of the time, its the reverse that's happened;

    They have not seen enough of our struggles and lack the capactity to understand or empathize with them as struggles at all. Their struggles, and later comfort, let's be honest, have numbed them and fitted blinders to their judgement.

  • How do I make this look more normal?
  • Where does this imply that I downvoted anything for the reasons you mentioned? There were maybe five or six comments prior to my own, and I downvoted all of them besides OPs(which I did upvote, tyvm - funny how that didn't work out to you noticing).

    Less spammy than "trying to set the record straight" by correcting them all, nevermind that, as I stated, I don't have a better solution anyways, but again, yes, I also up-voted the one-or-two comments that had anything to do with OPs problem, both clarifications by OP themselves.

    I've also up-voted other comments since, but there have been none talking about Ribbons and Tabs since, at least. Almost like what visibility my own comment got served its purpose.

    Things don't have to be positive to work. Sometimes Loud Garbage can slow the buildup of even-more-useless-if-well-meaning garbage. Well-intentioned, useless, basically-un-true-in-context things only pass one of Socrates criteria, btw.

  • Rule
  • No. Windows has these "issues" if you use a diverse-enough set of apps, and there are quite-a-few things it won't let you tweak without paid or uNtRuSteD apps that Linux will. The difference is that Linux includes more diverse apps by default, and doesn't hide them away very well.

    Personally, I love a bit of inconsistency, and Windows resides on my laptop because I'm more concerned with getting Linux onto my phone these days.

  • How do I make this look more normal?
  • Partially implimented system theme. Comments: oP MuSt wAnT It tO LoOk lIkE MiCrOsOfT!

    The only one who so-far realized the theming is the problem suggested a quick fix that will likely leave this issue cropping up again in other applications.

    Me: down-votes comments because I WANT there to be a better answer, not because I know one. Happy Monday, people!

  • For I Will Consider My Cat Jeoffry [Incidental Comics]
  • Nah. It ties back to the idea that an adult's handwriting is unique. If everything else matches, but every word is spelled correctly you might have a forgery on your hands, or they could be writing under duress.

    Didn't help that all of the "high-society"/"high-minded" types were as obsessed with riddles and codes as the most extreme would-be sleuths you'll meet today ... or maybe the generation of average net denizen has lost out on something.

  • Tried to rm -r my .cache but accidentally did .config instead...
  • Sure, if that's your level of thought and reading comprehension, let's say you've got it. Is it really so hard to understand the notion that what works for you doesn't work for me, but I'm okay with you doing whatever?

    Keep practicing, kid.

  • The Biden administration put $7 billion into "hydrogen hubs." Critics smell a boondoggle.
  • NIMBYs everywhere, go figure.

    The "blue hydrogen", "produced from natural gas which is then sequestered" bit is a ridiculous stretch though. Forcing byproducts back into the ground is one of the "justifications"/"pros" for fracking.

  • Tried to rm -r my .cache but accidentally did .config instead...
  • Your life isn't my life, and restoring backups is no less a hassle just for having them(personally, I backup files, and either fix what I break or do a clean install). Auto-complete also makes me lose my train of thought, but if its helpful to you, enjoy.

  • Role Playing
  • I mean, if you have negotiable standards of personal comfort, and poor credit, it becomes difficult to build up that level of crippling debt.

    Personally, those are both a requirement and a given.

  • It's insidious
  • What about my comment implied I didn't realize that? Anyways, Raktajino was also consumed a lot on Voyager. Its strange that Quark focused on Root Beer in light of all the other stuff people drink, other than, hey, this is the only carbonated thing they drink that's not caffinated or alcoholic ... but that wouldn't be true either?

    He did say "Starfleet" drink a lot of it, not "humans", so maybe it is just that pupular with Vulcans, Andorians, Tellerites, etc.

    Yet Another Post Or Comment Where I NEED To Block Those Who Downvoted Rule

    Is this somehow an intentional choice or a feature? I consider it insane ...

    While we're at it, am I missing at instance-agnostic method for linking posts as well?
