there are entire villages in northern cyprus where they speak Greek to one another, only switching to Turkish when a foreigner walks in the room.

There are monasteries and mosques dotting the countryside in equal measure

He was a Japanese mech pilot who invented the kamikaze corp in WW1 as part of Operation Jinjuriki to overthrow the Emporer’s wife who was said to be quite large. I have also not googled anything.

I genuinely thought the wired vs wireless earphone debate was over, and wireless won by a landslide.

All the phones I have ever owned have audio jacks, but I use them rarely, and prefer the convenience of putting my phone down to walk around and do tasks, than having it strapped to my side like I’m a tourist on a bad audio guide.

I can’t be the only one who after holding out for so long, now relents that, yes, wireless headphones are convenient for a vast majority of use cases.

I’ve been wearing the same Sony plugs for 6 years now. Latency and quality is fine over short distances, and over long distances (something wired can’t do…) the LC3 codec does a fantastic job keeping the signal and quality

Oh no doubt, and this is definitely an audiophile’s phone. I just hope the benefit of the slight gains in quality outweigh the (imo) massive hassle of having the phone tethered to body.

My buds are sony wf-1000x3, been using them for years. Charge them once a day, use them pretty much all the time, no issues.

What are the tunes they’re usually strumming?

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s not. Most of Pink Floyd’s Animals album is trash, except for Sheep which I think we can all agree on being a fucking great song from a great band.

Steven King’s The Dark Tower series is trash, except for The Gunslinger (and, okay, the final chapter of the final book The Dark Tower), which I think we can all agree on being a fucking great book from a great author.

The Lamiids’s Solanum species of plants is poisonous trash, except for Tomatoes which I think we can all agree on being a fucking great fruit from a fucking great subclade.

sorry, I did take a low approach there by lumping you with the “let the market sort it out” folks. Apologies.

Still, “clearly told” could mean anything from a cigarette style warning to a single overlooked “parental advisory” style sticker

If Amazon has shown us anything though, its that reviews can be bought and sold en masse. I’m not sure how Steam reviews are mitigating this, but I fear that it will be undermined soon

The individual review don’t matter though, it’s the mean star score that people glance at and then scroll by on

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

can’t multiple people share an account and post individual reviews from it?

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

I think they mean “Sie”, which later for decapitalised as “sie” for female

I think just go the Invader Zim route and infer honorifics by height.

“Yes, my tallest” and “forgive me, my tallest” should cover you in most yes/no situations.

And if they’re not taller than you? Well then they’re less intelligent, so you can turn up your nose in scorn and look over heads until they go away.

I learned a lot of about social interaction from that show.

I quite like the idea of something in the spirit of “yes my good fellow”, with fellow obviously being a bit too masculine despite its chuminess.

What about using some generic gender neutral names like Robin or Quinn (even if their name isn’t Robin or Quinn):

“Yes my good Robin” or “Yes my good Quinn”

If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story’s plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the...
