This is the first comment about switching to Linux that makes me feel positively about the idea

While I don’t necessarily agree in this case, you did remind me of something Justice Kirby (an Australia Hugh Court (our highest court) Judge) wrote in his dissent in Carr v Western Australia.^1

“He was a smart alec for whom it is hard to feel much sympathy. But the police were public officials bound to comply with the law. We should uphold the appellant’s rights because doing so is an obligation that is precious for everyone. It is cases like this that test this Court. It is no real test to afford the protection of the law to the clearly innocent, the powerful and the acclaimed.”

I always forget everything that’s happened in the fortnight since I last saw her

Wait, you have to pay to use your phone as a hotspot?!

While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I’ve never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack…

I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.

If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn’t that big a deal to me. Although I’d probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I’m connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn’t come with me.

Thanks for letting me know that that community exists! It’s one of my favourite subreddit so there being a Lemmy alternative is great news!

Is that the stuff that comes in a little glass vial?

When I was more active in ED spaces, shows like these were really popular. I watched a lot of Supersize v Superskinny but didn’t really bother with the others.

Came from a starved mindset where I so obsessed with food and weight that I only wanted to watch stuff that related directly to food and weight.

There was also discussion in ED spaces I was in about how the stuff that these shows were doing was unhealthy and fucked up but had been deemed entertainment and therefore permissable. But us doing similar stuff was (rightfully) seen as fucked up.

I want to stress that no one in the communities I was in was ever judging the contestants. The only people we were viewing negatively were the producers who were putting people in danger and also like, ourselves.

I’d also really recommend the New Zealand and Australian versions! (NZ Series 1 takes a bit to find it’s groove but Series 2 is probably my favourite series of any Taskmaster)

Sorry for the over enthusiastic reply, this morning my friend got us both tickets to the Australian Series 3 studio record and I’m very excited about it…

Since I watched Series 4 in 2021, I don’t think a week has gone by that I haven’t watched an episode, or at least a clip, of some iteration of Taskmaster.

Such a lovely show!

My only issue with Cowboy Bebop is that my brain autocorrects it to Cowbop Beboy.

I know it’s less scary than the others, but I also really fucking love Bly Manor.

Also, I recently rewatched Lake Mungo and saw a lot of similarities with Nell’s story from Hill House. Turns out Mike Flanagan has said that Lake Mungo was an inspiration!

Barely related; but I use a square of astroturf to stop my cat tracking which works really well! Unfortunately, because it made the place look so aggressively, manufactured suburban green, I was forced to create a whole

Shukshuka is my go to; I make big batches of the spicy tomato stuff and then warm that and then add egg whites and cheese

I’ll never be burdened by lacking challenge. I’m not that smart is a very relatable song from the musical, though.

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from “making a video when they have a topic they care about”, which was still quite frequent, to “scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience” and it’s really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it’s not for me anymore.

Would you give it all up for a moment of pure joy?

Whooooooos got a floofsky tumski?
