It is weird to see the voice actors from long-running shows having aged because their characters look and sound the same as they did a decade ago. (lemm.ee)

Team Trump Is Losing Their Minds Over Stunning Early Voting Numbers by Please_Do_Not in c/politics@lemmy.world

Early voters will skew towards the civically engaged, which in turn skews towards the educated and left-leaning. Unfortunately, I can't take too much confidence in this.

"Realize fuck it, I can just ______, future me will have to clean it up" is technically true of literally anything that's physically possible. Excellent way to justify doing something.

I said that's ok, Doc, I prune up after just a few hours.

This actually makes me laugh pretty good. Side of the neck is an insane place for it, but the joke lands perfectly and rewards rereads. 9/10 humor, 0/10 decision-making.

Do you value high fidelity (audio, visual, or other)? Do you notice a difference? (lemm.ee)

It often surprises me to see people with time, money, and knowledge settling for subpar experiences that have night and day differences to me. Even at my brokest (pretty darn broke), speakers, headphones, and glasses were always worth researching and some saving up, and the difference between what I'd end up with and the average always feels like it paid off tenfold.

I've got a surprising number of friends/acquaintances who just don't seem to care, though, and I am trying to understand if they just don't experience the difference similarly or if they don't mind. I know musicians who just continue using generation 1 airpods or the headphones included with their phone, birdwatchers who don't care about their binoculars, people who don't care if they could easily make their food taste better, and more examples of people who, in my opinion, could get 50% better results/experiences by putting in 1% more thought/effort.

When I've asked some friends about it, it sounds as much like they just don't care as they don't experience the difference as starkly as I do, but I have a hard time understanding that, as it's most often an objective sensory difference. Like I experience the difference between different pairs of binoculars and speakers dramatically, and graphical analysis backs up the differences, so how could they sound/look negligibly different to others? Is it just a matter of my priorities not being others' priorities, or do they actually experience the difference between various levels of quality as smaller than I seem to? What's your take on both major and, at the high end, diminishing returns on higher quality sensory experiences?

I've received in-patient care, overnight studies, emergency procedures, and much more in Spain without ever paying a dollar in copays or fees, and I've never waited more than 2 weeks for non-urgent care or an hour for urgent care.

My taxes are $600/month total in Madrid. Given that I have epilepsy, my insurance alone in the US was $490/month, AND I paid more in taxes ($1100/month).

So, yes, universal healthcare isn't "free," and it's supported by taxes. And still, Americans are taxed more AND have to pay for insurance? And then you still have to pay copays? I don't think "dur dur me taxes!" is actually the strong argument you think it is. And wait times are no longer (or in fact are shorter) in many countries with universal healthcare. But you know what's longer? Life expectancies.

Los Angeles vs transplants... by Please_Do_Not in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[-] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 74 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ok but LA sucks for reasons that have nothing to do with what I want from a city and everything to do with what everyone wants from a city: walkability, affordability, good roads/traffic and infrastructure, good vibes, authenticity, public transit, and people who don't suck.

Even people who are from LA and say "we have all that and I love LA" only mean "I love my neighborhood in LA, which is a 90 minute drive from the 7 other malignancies of highway sprawl that also call themselves LA."

It's actually even more unlikely that they would be able to learn how to talk. This guy's clearly not a very good scientist if he missed that.
