LillyPip,

On the distance thing, I’ve always seen it as: if you can measure it with your body, it’s feet; else metres.

My table is two feet long, but my neighbour’s house is ten metres away. It sounds weird and maybe I’m weird, but that’s how it works in my head.

LillyPip,

I lost two stone last year. I wasn’t on a diet, I just threw them in the river behind my house.

LillyPip,

I always assumed guys measured in imperial because metric is numerically smaller. That may be one reason some people don’t want to switch to metric, now I think about it.

LillyPip,

Hahaha oh man. This is literally ‘no u’ in lawsuit form.

LillyPip,

Yes. Yes it was. Lol.

LillyPip,

There’s definitely been life in other places beyond earth. That’s an unfathomable amount of time for matter not to have self-organised in the unfathomable amount of space that exists before it happened here. It may all be dead by now and we may never see it, but this feels like game over for any earth-centric model that still exists.

LillyPip,

I’m not a scientist, I’m a writer. Throwing words around is what I do, which hopefully gets other people talking. That’s kinda my point.

Don’t get real opinions from random internet comments.

LillyPip,

Then how are we here?

What are the odds of us being here to talk about the odds of us being here talking about this versus fungus or bacteria literally everywhere?

Simple life being everywhere is more likely than complex life being anywhere, yet here we are.

LillyPip, (edited )

I’m still sticking with ‘definitely’.

Regardless of whether I meant it as a doorway into conversation – and that wasn’t an excuse, but a threshold to conversation – if you’re going to pin me on it, I’ll say yes, I think the odds are nearly 100% life exists not just elsewhere, but everywhere.

I personally think that’s the inevitable conclusion of 3-dimensional space. That’s just my personal opinion, though.

Call me a hack if you like.

LillyPip,

Fuck /u/spez.

Oh hey, we can say that here without getting banned. Neat.

LillyPip,

And upvote! I just upvoted your comment. (Memmy on iOS.).

Also I can see your profile has 10 upvotes right now.

LillyPip,

Oh shit

LillyPip,

Beautiful angry void you’ve got there.

LillyPip,

Weirdly, it’s a real thing. AMC made them a double feature. I’d never have guessed the crossover demographic would be that big, but what do I know.

LillyPip,

That’s fair.

LillyPip,

Of course, we knew this. A lot of us sent tips to the FBI in the weeks leading up to J6 and they just disappeared into the ether. Nice to see them acknowledge it. I hope they’ve cleaned out at least a bit of the MAGA rot in those agencies.

LillyPip,

You’ve single-handedly convinced me to finally unbox my year old printer and try printing a thing because this is so totally awesome, so thanks.

Also this is so totally awesome! Well done.

LillyPip,

He thinks he’s too cute to make me hate him, and I’ll admit it’s difficult, but if this kitten is a fascist, I’m more sad that anything, and really angry at the loser who taught him that.

Kittens aren’t born bigots, bigoted children are made – and doubly-so for a kitten. I just want to hug the cat whilst kicking his fascist teacher in the figs.

(/s out of habit because I don’t know you all yet.)

Wooo! Finally got my account working and left my very active, high-karma, 7 year old account where I was active as a freelance bot bounty hunter, so I’m also taking my freelance bot-squashing away.

I was in a couple of subs* there for like a week after Apollo died because of the learning curve, and now I’m 100% Lemmy and haven’t even checked reddit for a week.

I was actually a customer in addition to a user and cancelled my premium account on Reddit too. As a software UXD and old-school developer on everything from Acorn, Commodore, Intellivision, Basic, but of assembly, VB, Perl, C versions through ++ and #, all the horrid Java incarnations, sql/oracle, and now web, enterprise, unity, and enough deep dives into Reddit’s GitHub to learn its a clusterfuck in there…

I’m done with them. This isn’t something you push a fix for. It’s something you fire your entire executive team over or just give up and let the bots have it. That’s where they are, I think.

LillyPip,

I’m in this image and I like it.

LillyPip, (edited )

I’m hesitant to name anything specific since time exists and tech fluctuates, but there’s definitely a small, free utility app for your device that will strip exif data from your images.

Search for ‘remove exif’ in your App Store and see what people are saying about the top several apps listed.

(EtA: In nongeek, ‘exif’ data includes the photo’s gps coordinates, specific type of camera or device that created the image, timestamp, and other info, and its all quite easily viewable.).

Nerds use these apps more than most, so their reviews tend to go into some detail. There are certainly apps available that are easy to use on your device. Obviously don’t use an online service for this, either.
