Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.

Rentlar,

I’m not an expert in phycology so I can’t answer your question. Sorry.

Rentlar,

Ah. That I can answer. Making posts on Lemmy being salty about downvotes begets more downvotes, almost guaranteed. Hope this helps.

Rentlar,

Absolutely. Some aspects are unavoidable, being an anonymous thread based forum, so trolling, flamebaiting, brigading and the like happen here just like Reddit.

Luckily on Lemmy we do have workarounds to some of these issues. You can join instances that disable downvotes for people who are bothered by it. Federated, publicly visible moderation has its ups and downs but at least you have all the information and you can decide to move to an instance where you fit in better.

Rentlar,

All 3 of NeilC’s Smash Mouth-inspired albums are filled with hilarious bangers.

Rentlar,

¡Sindicaramos!

Rentlar,

Reject modernity, return to flappy squarE.

Rentlar,

Here, have some useless pixels to make you feel better about yourself: 🏅

Premier targets rivals' merger rumours as B.C. election nears (www.cbc.ca)

But they did not deny there was an urgency in finding a way together to prevent vote-splitting that could hand Eby another majority, with Falcon saying, “the real enemy is the NDP government and four more years of that government I think will be, frankly, devastating for the province of British Columbia.”

Rentlar,

BC NDP aren’t perfect but they are doing a heck of a lot better than many of the other provinces.

Hello, I made a proton mail account on my work computer for work. Seeing how great it is I wanted to sign up for the password manager for my personal use with the ultimate goal of getting the family plan and mover over my domain and parents from gmail and 3rd party vpn to proton. It rejects my account creation and support says...

Rentlar,

Your region? Is the service you are trying to acquire available to Canadian customers?

Rentlar,

They should be paid overtime and extra overtime for their efforts cooperating with the investigation. They should come chill in Canada while they await the results of the investigation. Smoking a few joints with us and having a few Hawaiian pizzas will make the time go by quickly.

I got a €90 fine from police in paris

Was cycling one of those small access roads that straddle the very large main roads. There was a wall between that and the main road. A police van and fire engine were blocking the road, and it was cordoned off with tape. I went on the pavement, very slowly, walking pace. But the municipal police stopped me and asked for my...

You will have to understand that in a new country there are different rules and different ways of enforcing them. Also I think French cops have much lower patience with English, British, Canadian, Australian, and American tourists that tend to play fast and loose with the rules. Like in some parts of the US, cops won’t look twice if you have a pistol on you, whereas in UK and Europe you will immediately be stopped and questioned.

Rentlar,

Oh! I know this one. American Pie by Don McLean.

Rentlar,

The “four seasons” gaffe is still the height of Giuliani’s comedy career, but this is up there.

Trump Demands Biden Take a Drug Test Before Debating and Claims the President Was ‘High as a Kite’ During the State of the Union (www.mediaite.com)

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

Rentlar,

The drug scheduling rules that the Trump White House pharmacy was following were inspired by “It’s every day, bro” by Jake Paul.

Rentlar,

It already has done much more than you give credit for. People are talking about it. More importantly, legislators are talking about it, which is the first step for things for laws to change/clarify what it means to own a digital product in the UK.

Rentlar,

I’ve seen enough of your comments to know you’re being sarcastic but damn, I could imagine some conservatives actually making an argument like this.

Rentlar,

beloved features — like the ability to “gild” posts by donating a Reddit Premium subscription — are not returning.

That was like more than half the point of gold. Some random comment getting lots of gold would mean the recipient, in turn, could give out gold too.

Now…

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

Rentlar,

Just use a Japanese Train Conductor Bed that automatically makes you sit up!

Rentlar,

The fact that Sony initially blocked Japan (though that specific case seems to be reversed, along with US territories) will definitely upset Japanese customers.

Rentlar,

I was worried that the sudden shutdown meant they wouldn’t release the offline mode. Glad I was wrong.

Rentlar,

Interesting idea. Would only realistically work on abandoned lines rather than rarely used lines, with special permission from the railroad infrastructure owner and the national governing body for railways (Federal Railroad Administration in the case of US, Eisenbahn-Bundesamt in Germany), since normal railway signalling systems for single track wouldn’t work with the bidirectional monorail system.

Rentlar,

Using a paper cutter, aligning the worn pages along the outside edge of the book into a nice looking rectangle

Rentlar,

It could have been £300 and you will still complain and be the sucker for paying for that. Is the seller obligated to ship to you at a price of £2?

You could probably shop around a bunch of Oxfams to (maybe) get the book you wanted for cheap. Or you could also find discounted books at the Oxfam and list them for just £1 or 2 above the sticker price. Is that worth your time?

Like I get being upset at institutional practices like soft drinks costing companies a handful of pence per item when they charge £2.50 (or £4.50 at the cinema), and being stingy on the refills. Books on the other hand are a luxury item that (other than the textbook racket by publishers) you can go without.

US prisoners are being assigned dangerous jobs. But what happens if they are hurt or killed? (apnews.com)

Blas Sanchez was nearing the end of a 20-year stretch in an Arizona prison when he was leased out to work at Hickman’s Family Farms, which sells eggs that end up in the supply chains of huge companies like McDonald’s, Target and Albertsons. While assigned to a machine that churns chicken droppings into compost, his right leg...

Yeah. I know. I’m saying that it’s crazy to me (as a non American) that slavery is viewed as normal in 2024, because the US Constitution says it’s OK to buy, sell, lease people if they committed a crime.
