You’re the one who set that as the bar.

The idea behind this community should be that you think “wait, really? Is that serious or satire?”

I don’t think anyone at this point would even do a double take to check “is this from a satire news source?” if they happened to see it shared in a context that makes the source not immediately known (e.g. on lemmy). At this point, The Onion headlines involving Trump tend to veer into total ridiculousness (Trump killing Cohen with a pen, bribing people with pb&j, etc). The only way you can do subtlety involving him is things that are totally out of character, like anything with self awareness or acknowledgement of rigging things in his favor.

Did you really wonder if the first was satire? It is 0% surprising when Trump accuses others of what he does.

Periods going away or getting lighter is a side affect of hormonal IUDs. Copper IUDs have no mechanism to make them go away, and seem to pretty commonly make cramps and bleeding worse. .

On my phone if I hold down on the suggested word in the keyboard area, I can delete it from “learned words.” This is only really helpful if it’s a typo that isn’t also a real word.

“Puppy on the way home from being trained to hunt birds, kills birds.”

In California, that actually sounds extremely useful.

You know what the plan to store a lot of nuclear waste in America is? Bury it in west nowhere, Texas.

I think it might just be a line of how they used the random object could have reasonably resulted in death. So if you smack someone in the face with a fluffy pillow, it’s not a deadly weapon. If you try to smother them with it, it is.

If we’re talking about home desktop users (I’m including laptops, but not phones/tablets), I think that number is on the decline. 10-20 years ago, you generally needed a computer to function. Now, I use my desktop for some games and to do taxes. And last year, I actually did taxes on my phone (I had newborn twins so sitting down at a computer for any meaningful amount of time was not happening). It was a little bit of a pain, but totally do-able. My mom didn’t bother getting another desktop after hers died a year ago.

Mobile devices usually don’t encourage tech savviness and it seems to be the direction most personal use of computers is going.

The people who can’t tell the difference between 720p and 4k seem like the least likely to try changing their operating system.

As for home users, with each newer generation, they become more tech savy

Pretty sure the opposite is true at this point.

They’re not nuking every copy of windows 10 when the service lifetime ends. They’re just not working on it anymore. If you think the regular maintenance is just updating the spyware and ads, you should be stoked.

I’m definitely taking my hand off the wheel to operate things like headlights or wiper speed, which are dials on the end of a stalk. It would be really difficult not to.

Are you counting the stalks behind the wheel as on the steering wheel?

There’s actually a good number of things: windshield wipers, blinkers, cruise control, climate control, defrost, headlights, hazards, and gear (prndl). You’d be surprised at which of these some companies have tried to put on the touch screen.

Right? Even when skimming papers, it’s usually: read title & abstract, look at figures, skim results & conclusion. If you don’t notice that the figure doesn’t have real words, how is anyone making sure the methodology makes sense? That the results show what the conclusion says they show?

What do you mean by specifically searching? Because it totally comes up for me.

Do yours freak out when you put your re-usable bags in the bagging area even when you tell it you’re using 4 of your own bags? Or have two barcodes on packages and if the wrong one scans (either because you aren’t sure which needs to be scanned or because they’re next to each other and you don’t get a gun), you need a cashier to override? Or have weight sensors that are just wrong about how much items should weigh? Or only have enough room for like 2 bags of groceries but it isn’t ok to take any out of the bagging area?

I don’t think it’s just customers.

Being (justifiably) upset about 7 minutes late and having to pay the full rate shows how far we’ve come from taxis of a couple decades ago.

Tell me you didn’t take taxis without telling me you didn’t take taxis.

From not showing up for hours to weird routes to drive up the meter to “malfunctioning” credit card readers, taxis sucked. And the medallion system in places would give companies something of a monopoly.
