Corrected archive link - OP’s is missing a character so it’s not working

The best time to learn emergency lifesaving procedures is before you need them, but the second best time is when you need them. Being old fashioned about this could cost a life.

If you have a quicker reference people should bookmark for such cases, the kind thing would be to share it rather than judge. Else, panicking people will inevitably go where they know they can usually get fast instruction about any other topic.

Do you not know that actual news clips from actual news outfits get posted on youtube sometimes

Hey man, as long as you had fun.

People see it as a way to spread awareness about the fediverse alternatives that are out there. Like “hey, if you like this, there’s more where that came from.” It’s not for viewers who are already here, but for those where the post inevitably travels.

I dunno. Both watermarking and being annoyed at the watermarks seem like a waste of energy to me. If people are going to generate content, I’m not going to sass them about how unless it makes something about the content worse (harder to read etc).

It’s like using a very fine-grit sandpaper on your legs, so if that’s what you were imagining… yes? Maybe? You basically slowly buff off the hair.

Consider yourself lucky and walk away like you just dodged a bullet

Everyone has given good advice, but I just want to remind you:

it’s kinda dusty and feels like a bad place for babies

They evolved to do this without much human intervention in all kinds of outdoor conditions. Have their lives been improved by domestication and human watchfulness, yes, absolutely… but they’ll be okay. A little dust will not be a serious hazard.

It’s kind of you to care so much.

More like “Owner is convinced the new blanket is not for Rocket.”

It’s a pokemon reference, fainted was correct.

none of the self cleaning ones really work properly, do they?

Uh, yes they do?

Or do you neglect your appliances as much as you neglect your animals? They do still require some human intervention to empty their waste, so you still can’t ignore them even if you’re dealing with it less.

You accepted this responsibility when you took in a cat. I hate it too, no one likes playing in poop. You aren’t special or alone in this. We all find a way to suck it up and get it done because we love our pets, and if you can’t, you aren’t fit to be a pet owner.

weirdly antisocial

Completely forgets (or ignores) the fact that some people just don’t like their lives and avoiding thinking about it is what helps them get through the day. And that others legitimately have nothing new going on that they can discuss with those outside their inner circles. Like, I’m not going to tell someone I haven’t seen in a couple years all about the adult novel I’m looking forward to releasing in December, or that time I moved and nothing about it went well to the point it was mildly traumatic, so yeah, they’re going to get a “meh, not much. keeping busy. work and stuff. you?” at the most generous.

It’s hard to get across “no really, I find predictability comforting and/or am not willing to share the personal projects I fill my time with for various reasons.”

This. They should be going through insurance for this.

Of course, the insurance rates would rise, and they’d still be passing on that increase to the residents, but residents would be slightly less bitchy about it since the extra layers of opacity would make it seem like “just more of the usual greed and inflation.”

The fact that they even tried to pretend it wasn’t retroactive because they didn’t charge for old install counts. Like, does it charge games that were released under different terms? Yes? Then it’s retroactive!

I think most of the people opposed to this post are confusing “I don’t need my whole feed to be about these things” with “I’m against these things.”

Are you capable of checking the context of a statement before replying to it? The quality of the advice was not at issue. You asked why the person was hostile. Being an asshole begets hostility.

Couldn’t possibly be because that person is acting like it’s our fault we’re too weak to have it too with the dismissive “bub” and the cry to “get your shit together.”

I got my first one of these when I was 21 and in the best shape of my life. Accidents, injuries, and unpreventable diseases happen, and acting like your comparative good luck means you’ve made better choices than those who have been less lucky by implying they’ve been “unhealthy as hell” is kind of gross.

It’s pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.

Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.
