And yet in most of my games for Switch they can't even do half-assed mirror reflections :(

A Switch with the controller disconnected gets you pretty darn close to the same feeling these days.

I have both current Linkbuds. I love the concept of the first one but they are uncomfortable for me no matter how I wear them (unless I damn near have them hanging out of my ear, but then they sound bad and fall out easily). The S model is one of my favorite earbuds I own. Super small and light with great sound and fantastic ANC and passthrough. Not quite the same as a truly open earbud though. I want to try the BOSE clip on one's, but like you said they are pricy.

Same. Despite plenty of signs, my parents refused to accept that I could even be slightly autistic (due to the stigma of it I guess?) and that my obvious ADHD needed any sort of treatment other than being pulled out of school, isolated at home, and not allowed to eat TONS of things.

I now have to deal with pretty bad social anxiety and a lot of trouble having vocal conversations with people I am not extremely comfortable with. Sure, I would have likely struggled with these things anyway, but I'd probably be a lot more comfortable socializing if I had been able to learn and grow among my peers during my developmental years.

Lemmy reminds me of Reddit 10-15 years ago. Back when popular posts would be on the front-page for a few days, when a few hundred or thousand upvotes was a lot, when large communities had tens of thousands of subscribers, not hundreds or millions, when the chance of recognizing and running into the same users on various subreddits was still kind of common...

Yes, but the "demand" that you are talking about is for cheap on the consumer side, not on the producer side. It may (arguably) still be cheap food on the producer cost side, but the consumer price side has gone insane. The quality definitely is shit.

I have a 3rd gen Tacoma and it is HUGE for a "small" truck. I miss actual small trucks (I also miss hoods that were lower and slanted forward in a way that you could actually kind of see over).

You'll see McDonald's jobs disappear, but the demand for cheap fast food will still exist.

You almost made me choke on my $15 Big Mac.

I'm almost 40 and a lot of my cars in my teens and 20s were from the '80s and '90s. Almost everything I've owned has had at least a rudimentary cruise control although there are some ('80s Bronco II, '95 Miata, early '90s 240sx, 99 Impreza Wagon) where it was broken or I just never used it.

All that said, I LOVE the radar controlled cruise control on my current vehicle. I've used it for at least 20,000 miles of driving at this point. Interstate, highway, city, you name it... Pretty much any time I want to maintain a steady speed over 28 and there's not a lot of stop and go traffic. I hate thinking about life without it now (and I hate using standard cruise control without radar)!

Holy shit, random person. Three heated responses to one comment. If you don't care about strangers opinions online why are you so darn angry? If you hate the "commie" "tankie" cesspool that is Lemmy, why are you here?

The word "soda" comes from the sodium salts in carbonated water, which reduce the liquid's acidity. The word may also come from the Italian word suwwād, which refers to a saltwort that can be used to obtain sodium carbonate. The first known use of the word "soda" was in 1558.

The term "pop" was first used in the early 19th century as a colloquial term for fizzy drinks. The earliest known use of the word was in 1812, when poet Robert Southey wrote in a letter that a new drink was "called pop, because 'pop goes the cork' when it is drawn". The term "soda pop" was later combined from the words "pop" and "soda" in 1863.

I mean soda was around to refer to a carbonated beverage hundreds of years before pop came into use. Plus pop is one of those confusing English language words that can mean a few different things (dad, loud-noise, carbonated-beverage, punch, arrive, etc.). You do you though. And keep thinking anybody who does things differently than you is weird. That's healthy.
