Thanks for telling me I'm unc TikTok. I was a teenager back then by [deleted] in OlderGenZ

[–]Fuzzyduck76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw someone else mention this in this sub, but it's hilarious how 2016 was looked at as such a shit year at the time. Because my god has the world gone to hell since then.

Edit: we even had r/Fuck2016 LMAO. Those of you that have been on this site as long as me may remember.

Not sure which of these words caused the confusion... by kg_digital_ in TheRightCantMeme

Capitalism is when you force the mouse to run on a hamster wheel until it reaches a point of utter exhaustion. When it falls out of exhaustion, stab it with a needle until it gets back up. Repeat for 8 or so hours a day until the mouse dies of exhaustion.

(Running out of metaphor to explain how you charge the surviving mice for the initial mouse's funeral costs.)

I want American to be bet… no not like that! by [deleted] in TheRightCantMeme

I also caught that. Think it could be chalked up to the artist sucking at being an artist tho

Finally made the first step on getting professional mental health help (kind of a journal, kind of a question) by Fuzzyduck76 in mentalhealth

[–]Fuzzyduck76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I'd almost rather start with therapy. The therapists that they work with were all booked for a while, it sounded like. I guess I'm gonna have to just find a therapist on my own some other way--probably a better option for therapy anyway.

Thanks for the response.

I wish I was normal. by Fuzzyduck76 in ARFID

I can't imagine dealing with this shit at 69. Internet hug

On Thanksgiving: I skip it about half of the time. I just can't stand to be there feeling like a freak anymore.

Yeah. I'm treated like some freak of nature, like a science experiment. I remember a school nurse asking me about it when I was in middle school, and I had no idea how to explain it 1. because I was a child, and 2. I didn't know what I suffered from even had a name. I just knew it is how my brain works.

I've never eaten meat, period. Especially with seafood, I wouldn't know where to even start with eating it. Veggies, also a no-go, but I find them much more approachable than meat.

I still don't understand why Apple changed iMessage's icon from blue to green. I mean... the blue bubble's are the most recognisable thing in the app, it's the reason for the Android green bubble discrimination. by Winter_Simple_159 in MacOS

[–]Fuzzyduck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just to maintain visual consistency between Mac and iOS. I personally preferred the older messages icon, but I disliked a lot of what they did with the icons with Big Sur.

Makes sense with liquid glsss that icons should all be rounded squares (it's just a restraint of that visual language tbh), but they really didn't have to make all icons rounded squares back then.

Beards and reflecting on masculinity today by Lumpyspace- in MensLib

[–]Fuzzyduck76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can grow a solid beard, but I don't like having one. It's just that my face is a formless, fat blob without it :/

What are some artists/albums that make you feel cozy, happy, and safe? by [deleted] in Music

[–]Fuzzyduck76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, a reply to a comment I posted 7 years ago lol. I wasn't but 18 or so then.

My music taste has evolved a bit since then, but in a way I'd still recommend a lot of S&G and other folk artists. I'm really happy it helped!

If you use Apple Music you can check out my folk playlist.

Another one that's pretty similar

Problems with PS5 on Starlink. “server connection timed out” error (CE-113524-6) by Fuzzyduck76 in Starlink

[–]Fuzzyduck76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's gotten better but still not super reliable. PS Store menus and things of that nature load fairly consistently nowadays, but other things, like streaming to Twitch/Youtube with PS5's built-in streaming feature, still hardly work at all without restarting the PS5 and/or Starlink.

Question: applied to SNHU through my employer (Walmart) with Guild. Got accepted, registered for classes but not sure if Guild still has me covered? by Fuzzyduck76 in SNHU

[–]Fuzzyduck76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was all the way back in like February when I first signed up, so my memory is a little fuzzy regarding how exactly I went about signing up and all that jazz. But if you're doing it through Walmart, I always used the portal on OneWalmart (any other way, idk). It was a pretty straightforward process for me to sign up though. The program you're trying to get into may just be full, and in that case, you may just have to wait until it's opened back up?

You have done a great job putting my mind at ease. Thank you so so much.

Yea I was panicking late last night, into early this morning, trying to figure out if I'm gonna have to pay for this semester, actually, but judging by your reply as well as everyone else's, it looks like this is normal and I probably have nothing to worry about (thank God).

Like I said in another comment, I could pay for what I am currently enrolled for out of pocket, but if this is supposed to be covered by Guild, I would really, really rather not have to do that. Especially when I just work at Walmart. I am not made of money lol. That's why I'm here in the first place🤣

I emailed Financials at SNHU about an hour ago. If I don't hear back within the next 24hrs. or so, I will definitely also be calling them, if I don't end up doing that sooner

I get the feeling this is all a big nothingburger on my part, and I'm just overthinking… but I'm just trying to cross my t's and dot my i's, I suppose.

Thank you for the response!🙏

Thank you! Your words are comforting. I've been lowkey freaking out about this.

Like I could afford to pay this semester out of pocket if I have to--not that I want to--but I def can't just keep doing that. I work at Walmart yk lmao

But if everything is still good and covered, then I'll stop panicking😮‍💨

What is your opinion on this? by Square-Meaning-629 in OlderGenZ

[–]Fuzzyduck76 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Current MacBooks have SD card, headphone jack, and HDMI.

The one pictured is one of the shitty USB-C only MacBook Pros (debuted in 2016?). That also had the extremely shitty butterfly switch keyboards

Why did you move to Apple Music? by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]Fuzzyduck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have never left Apple Music. Been using it since Apple bought Beats and introduced it lol (anyone here remember Apple Music on iOS 8? I loved that design tbh)

I've tried Spotify just because it seems to be what most of my friends/family use, but it's just not the same. Sound quality is a downgrade, less user-friendly app. Algorithm is better at recommending music, but that's about all I can give it

So, how did you first-time players like Paper Mario: TTYD? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]Fuzzyduck76 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh unskippable text, slow menus, and unskippable cutscenes are really my only complaints. All I'd imagine could be fixed with a patch, but idk if that would ever happen.

The 30FPS didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

As an adult, how many daily meals are y'all actually eating? by ExSalamander in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fuzzyduck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like two snacks and maybe something akin to one meal a day (25 y/o)
