Mosquitos feed on apex predators and feed the nearly bottom of the food chain. Imo they’re up there with salmon in terms of nutrient transfer, absolutely would cause chaos at all levels if they were eliminated.

I used to worry that it was a losing strategy, because if I don’t block them then they will have unfettered access to the new people of the Internet. But then I started to think it doesn’t matter, I’d rather have my own mental health.

Unfortunately lemmy is a lot less active when you ban afford Assholes, muck rakers, and people just looking for fights.

No longer available and no longer integrated are not equivocal.

I am fine using my high beams in neighborhoods because those damn kids come out of nowhere, and the high beams light up more of the road. Black out curtains if it bothers you imo.

Yeah but it’s so easy to rip on YouTube, don’t you see how edgy it is?

So dystopian. The number of novels I’ve read where Advertisements existing on a screen has become the main source of revenue, what a bizarre science fiction fantasy land that would be…

So you want someone to broadcast, and you’re willing to pay for it, but not willing to support the content creators in any way?

YouTube premium, only time I hear ads are when my coworkers crank their shit too loud in the office, or when I have a brand new phone and have forgotten to log in.

Worth every red nickel.

Meh, there’s 0 chance of my crying making anyone’s interest.

That said I don’t post videos of anyone’s kids.

Fifteen minutes of fame, flash in the pan, there will be another crying kid tomorrow, only the grandparents will remember, and chances are very good that the data will be wiped from the servers in the next 10-15 years.

Angry video game nerd?

I might’ve conflated him and total biscuit in my head.

You’re playing the wrong games…

Why even have the peak? Are cone heads their targeted customer? It’s certainly not for aerodynamics.

And the noise cancelling/amplification is something wired headphones probably would never do, and they aren’t more expensive than ear buds, unless you got the cheapest ear buds (that probably sounded like shit and had cords that would fray within months of use), oh and if you used them at all “actively” the cords would eventually wear out even in expensive models. I’ve got a 20$pair of ear buds from 3 years ago(wanted to make sure I wouldn’t lose them before investing in expensive ones, now I don’t actually like my expensive ones except for airplanes, and still use my cheapos). Oh and you couldn’t be more than 3 feet from your phone if it was charging, and you couldn’t fast forward, rewind, play/pause (if you had a great pair it had a volume control, that didn’t actually change the volume, just added resistance to the signal).

Ask my wife, I was one of the biggest sticks in the mud about losing my headphone jack and changing over to Bluetooth, but since I made the change, I’ve found plenty of reasons to be happy with it. I still miss my old phones built in infrared blaster though. And easily replaceable battery. There were some neat things you could do with the aux jack (credit card reader), and there was some convenience to having things corded together (especially if you’re absent minded) but it’s not as rosey as many would insist it was.

The rose tinted glasses people use when looking back (car technology, streaming being worse than cable, the Internet sucking (though much better arguments for this one)) is really a burr in my side.

That’s k a r s cars for kids

I used to be a fan of kid Rock…

It was the early 2000’s.

I’m still down with a lot of music from that time, I’ll still rock Smash mouth, I sympathize with what happened to their lead singer, but kid Rock is entirely self inflicted and instead of the world moving on from him (like smash mouth) they have him on a pedestal. Why should anyone from my generation be on a political tour because of music they made? It pretty much all sucked. They didn’t write any of it themselves… Barely any of them even performed it live. I respect Nickelback “Rockstar” for calling this out.

“streaming is worse than cable now” is it though?

I stream for weeks on end without a single ad, watching only what I want. I go to an older person’s house and I hear the same friggin commercial jingles, the same canned studio laughter, and shows that are designed for the stupidest common denominator.

I grew up in the era of Saturday morning cartoons. My brain was liquidified on cereal commercials. I won’t allow cable into my house under any circumstances.

But I do agree that we should learn from too easily replacing the working with the next big thing without any regulations on how the next big thing is allowed to operate

Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

What vehicle are you talking about? I think the Jeep design is very practical, did they make a truck body?

Por que no los dos?
