Fruit of the Loom is cheap. They have all the advanced underwear technology too. These are what I’m wearing now. They’re that spandex crap or whatever that are tight against your leg so they don’t clump up, they don’t absorb a lot of moisture, and have thinly woven spots to increase ventilation. What else do you need in an underwear? Every other brand’s version of that is like $20+ more expensive for no reason.

I spent 95% of my time shitposting on one forum in the early 2000’s. It was a similar experience to spending 95% of my time on reddit or one of the other major social media sites, except that crazy new ideas for social media didn’t really exist back then. They were all traditional forums where everything is posted in chronological order. I remember occasionally sumbling across a threaded forum back then, where you could reply directly to a comment and start a new thread chain like lemmy and reddit can. That was about it as far as innovation went, or at least from what I remember.

The other 5% where I was browsing those old web 1.0 sites with basic html and flash and all that stuff, I don’t miss that stuff too much. It would be nice to browse through an archive of stuff like that once or twice for nostalgia’s sake, but the modern internet is good too. I have no qualms with the modern internet.

The suggestions in their direction for future improvement section should be implemented sooner rather than later. There’s no point in growing this platform if it’s going to be left wide open for abuse like it is.

I also think, in lieu of lemmy devs making any improvements, another good solution would be for a third party to prop something up that scrapes every lemmy post and runs it through an automated service for detecting known CSAM. The third party service would be forcing at least one of those future improvements on lemmy, as it exists today. Any known CSAM that’s found would be automatically reported, and if the instance owners can’t deal with it, then they would rightfully have to deal with the consequences of their inactions.

Edit: I’m beginning to think reddit was maybe not so bad. Getting mad about more robust tools for moderating CSAM is just sad.

Until whenever it was when Ada complained

They changed it after Ada complained about the community

The community sidebar used the term “child-like.” That’s pretty disgusting and really disingenuous of the lemmynsfw admins to quietly change that and then pretend like nothing happened. Plus, redditors have already gone through all this with r/jailbait, so it’s not really silly to anybody who remembers that debacle.

Thanks, this thread has been highly informative for me. I now know there’s a little bit of vitamin loss from the canning process, so I should look into that.

There was a time when I tried getting into cooking (mostly variations of rice and beans) and I ended up leaning pretty heavily on canned chopped/diced tomatoes too. I liked the different flavors you could buy, in terms of the seasoning that’s put in the can, and you’re right, you could put anything in it and it would taste good.

Haha yeah, the canned fruit is loaded with sugar from that extra syrup they add. I’ve been rationalizing it as at least I’m not drinking soda anymore, but I need to fix that too.

This is great info, though. Dried fruit is a good idea about ditching that sugary syrup. Plus, it’s easier than canned fruit anyway. I have been avoiding the premixed canned stuff and I do eat a lot of nuts and seeds, but I don’t do any dried vegetables. I’ll start looking into trying those. They do sound like they’d be a good way to get more variety.

Thanks! Yeah, I’ll start trying to introduce frozen veggies into my routine. Never considered the pickled section of the grocery store, but I’ll take a look there too.

Thanks cool, that’s good to know that I’m ok with the cans. I just have to start buying the low/no salt versions from now on, it sounds like. I’ll probably try to start mixing it up with the other lazy healthy options too, though. If only for a little more variety.

Cool, thanks for the recipe!

Thanks, I’ll try getting the low salt versions of things I can, and trying alternatives too, like frozen versions. I thought about dried beans before too, so maybe I’ll give those an honest go now. I was thinking they’d probably be just as easy as what I’m currently doing if you cook those in batch, and they’d probably taste better too.

Thanks for the alternatives ideas. I should try to mix up my “cooking” game a little, just to get a little more variety in my diet.

Yeah, that’s the type of thing I was wondering about. Some weird chemical type thing or something that does damage over time. I haven’t been worrying about it too much, but figured I should probably at least check before I knock too many canned meals back.

And yeah, this is metal cans I’m talking about.

For the microplastics, I guess I’m not too concerned with this if I can’t avoid them anyway.

I forgot to mention that I also eat a sandwich or something with the canned food meal. Like peanut butter and jelly or something. And about the salt content, I rinse both the beans and vegetables off before I mix them. I’m pretty sure there’s little to no salt left at that point, because I don’t taste any.

The current big battle in One Piece has been going on for like two years

Thanks!

Yes, it’s a safe bet that it’s just my current job. I was a lot happier at a previous job with a government contractor that was very low stress. I’m going to start applying for new dev jobs.

I’ll most likely stay in the dev field because it’s the path of least resistance for me, and because the job security most definitely shields me from a lot of new stressors I’m probably not even aware of. But I still wonder sometimes what it would be like to have a job outside like that one guy who said he became a wildlife ranger. Or to have a job where you solve physical problems with your hands, instead of abstract problems with your brain.

Cool, thanks for the update! Coincidentally, Liftoff put gestures with no option to turn them off in their latest release, so I’ve been a little unsatisfied about that. I’ll try Thunder again.

The play store release is a huge deal too. Ngl that I probably wouldn’t have used Thunder if I had to manually update it from github for each new release.
