I feel you. I’m 6’4" and the biggest hurdle is pants and shirt length. Unless they have tall sizes all shirts become halter tops if I even slightly raise my arms.
Pants are a pain in the ass too because I need at least 34" length for them to not be capris on me. Most companies just make all their pants 32".
There is a reason 90% of my clothing has come from Eddie Bauer for the last 15 years. I’m not particularly brand loyal. They just make clothes that fit me, and most companies don’t.
Agreed. Automotive repair is a big exception to my video tutorial hatred. It just makes more sense as it’s something being worked on in 3 dimensions. It would probably work well for home improvement stuff as well.
I watch a ton of YouTube. I love it for entertainment and some news. I absolutely hate YouTube for tutorials or guides though. If I’m trying to figure out how to fix a computer issue, I just want to read about it and have screenshots I can look at. I don’t want to have to constantly pause a damn video or scroll back and forth to find info.
As far as tiktok style videos go I just hate everything about them. I hate the auto play, I hate the vertical aspect ratio, I hate the stupid auto voiceovers, I hate the dumb floating captions and comments overlay, I hate the lack of volume adjustment or the ability to pause and rewind or seek. I hate the types of brainrot content that people make to work the algorithm. I hate that the format has infested YouTube and IG with no real way to be rid of it.
My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren’t federated. It’s the entire format/concept I hate.
Playing tennis.
In jr high I had some friends who played football say my other friends and I on the tennis team were gay for playing tennis.
I had to point out to them that the tennis team was co-ed and we regularly made out with our female teammates on the long bus rides to tournaments.
While those on the football team were constantly manhandling each other, showering together and slapping each other on the ass to say “good game.” But the tennis team are the gay ones?
They got mad, but dropped it.
Oh yeah, I have noticed that the virtual desktop switching on windows 11 sucks. It’s extra shitty if you set a different wallpaper for each one.
When teams is just doing chat things, it’s fine. But the fact that it’s the only program that doesn’t remember which monitor it is supposed to be on, and never remembers the show on all desktop settings, drives me insane. Not to mention that it seems to restart itself multiple time per day and makes me fix its location each time.
These AI corps really are determined to unnecessarily ham fist “AI” into everything, whether it makes sense or not.
When you have a new shiny hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I could never get into 3D “dungeon crawler” games that entirely take place in dungeons. I like open worlds where I can discover dungeons and caves to explore.
I think It’s the maze like endless aspect of dungeon crawlers that I dislike. I need breaks to see the virtual sky.
Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.
You nailed my experience. Though AIM was preferred. I begrudgingly used MSN too for a couple people who weren’t allowed to install AIM.
I was once on a Greyhound bus where a guy was loudly talking on his phone, but not on speaker. The issue was he was just repeatedly saying:
“Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Lemme tell you… Listen… Listen … Listen lemme… Lemme tell you … listen”
For half an hour.
Finally a hero yelled out: “Listen! Lemme tell you to shut the fuck up!”
He said “lemme call you back later” hung up and shrunk down on his seat as the whole bus clapped.
I know it’s not FOSS or self hosted, but I’m surprised nobody has mentioned inoreader. Is there something wrong with it I’m not aware of?
I settled on it because I needed a browser based reader since I can’t install any desktop app on a locked down work PC. I also needed something that synced with a phone app. It’s been working pretty well for me.
I can’t be the only person who instinctively trusts a product/brand less the more I see ads for it.
The biggest example is alcohol brands. It’s almost guaranteed that the more advertising a brand does, the more middle-low quality is. (There will always be the ultra-cheap option with no marketing of course.)
It’s mind boggling to me that in this modern interconnected era that this isn’t obvious to everybody.
I’ve had two root canals. One in 5th grade, and one in college. Local anesthesia only. It was a long painful process. Both teeth eventually failed anyway, and had to be pulled, and replaced with implants.
So my opinion is, if you can afford it just skip the extra misery and have them yank it out and replace it from the start.
My main digital system is a Canon M6 MKII.
But I am a camera collector, so I have somewhere around 200 film & digital cameras. (I am behind on updating my inventory app, so I don’t know the exact current number.)
I am an opportunistic photographer who takes photos of anything that catches my eye. But I do a lot of macro nature work, and general abstract photography.
As many have mentioned the real reason is to suppress votes by making the experience miserable.
The cover story for the rules is to prevent campaigns or other groups from “buying votes” by giving people in line food/water in exchange for a promise to vote for their candidate.

It’s important to think about the time scale that evolution works on. These changes happened very slowly 50,000+ years ago.
The regions near the equator where people still tend to be lighter skinned have been in contact with and interbreeding with lighter skinned people for thousands of years, plus many migrations and invasions.over the past 10,000 years.
