i think this is the literal definition of not uplifting (a laying down person)

Is flirting redundant? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] quickenparalysespunk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

some people believe flirting is a goal in itself or an indispensable part of life for a valid human. meaning, these type of people can't conceive the existence of someone who doesn't flirt nor one who doesn't enjoy flirting. that's very dehumanizing for others of us.

not everyone is capable of flirting.

What is with the obsession with gender neutral language on relationship topics ? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] quickenparalysespunk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

i have no interest in relationship discussion communities but speaking as a privacy supporter, using gender neutral language can have the benefit of:

  • disguising the poster against misogyny and other gender-based trolling.
  • if an argument erupts, it can also make participants more difficult to dox or stalk in other communities.
How To Tune In Pirate Radio Broadcasts on Shortwave in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] quickenparalysespunk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've heard of "pirate radio" since decades ago but never understood what is pirated about it.

are they broadcasting pirated music? broadcasting from ships committing maritime piracy? drinking Captain Morgan?

this is a less apocalyptic version of the starving Palestinian children finally receiving bread.

i.e. justice delayed is justice denied

this Lady deserves damages payments PLUS back wage reparations for 70+/- years of lost working years.

"incredible" ≠ "not credible"

"incredible" = "amazing"

"not credible" = "disreputable"

Wolves continue remarkable comeback with 3 new packs confirmed in NorCal in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world
[–] quickenparalysespunk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

i hope the "remarkable"ness isn't because climate change forced herbivores into unfamiliar territory where they are easy to pick off.

i don't know if deer are overpopulated in NorCal but other herbivore species may already be endangered before encountering new wolf packs.

Multilingual people all must have experienced YouTube's f**kery with auto translation. Still no workaround? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40428037

even using FreeTube, i have to change audio track and subtitle settings almost non-stop...

it's slightly less annoying to see wrong/unnecessary subtitles. but it's pretty confusing/tiring when the algorithm interprets sound effects or music (instrumental even) as Hindi or Uzbek or something and i have to turn off subs even if there is no talking.

audio on the other hand 🤬👿👹

even if I watch a video not in either of my 2 fluent languages, i don't ever want to hear any dubbed/ai-gen audio track.

any idea if this is in YouTube's issue tracker?

regardless, in the absence of fix from YouTube side, any clue if this can be improved on the client side?

PS - any responses telling me to just watch peertube instead will be downvoted and user will be blocked. fyi i don't reject watching peertube but my chosen antidote for the corporate streaming disease is 🏴‍☠️
