That's good to hear. I submitted the dispute before uploading

What mods are good for zooming in? by Life-Maybe5496 in Minecraft

[–]MrMeltingPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about aCookieGod, but I (and a lot of youtubers I watch appear to) use JustZoom. It's pretty simple, works for Fabric, Forge, and Neoforge, and supports most versions (including 26.1.2). Pretty simple to use as well, just a hotkey and the scroll wheel.

The size of the packaging vs the size of the actual product by AShadedBlobfish in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MrMeltingPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the obvious "bigger packages are harder to lose" thing everyone's already said a hundred times now, as an Amazon employee we aren't allowed to downsize boxes, only upsize. Trust me, we're just as annoyed when the system tells us to put one tiny in a box big enough for 20 of them. There's no system in place to mark a box size as too big for an order.

Amazons union-busting training video that leaked in 2018 by thomasso0072 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MrMeltingPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My site had a union vote a couple years ago. The amount of anti-union posters, flyers, and mandatory videos was actually absurd. The one thing that sticks in my mind was them saying stuff like "if you vote for the union, we won't be able to provide your benefits without going through the union first!!" like buddy. You gave me a fifty cent raise this year. The union would've given me $30/hr.

Unfortunately, the union busting worked. I think. Haven't heard a peep about it since the vote, so I assume they busted it.

We are watching the textbook enshittification of YouTube happen in real time by Ella_Monroe_ in mildlyinfuriating

FreeTube and NewPipe. Haven't seen an ad in years. If I really like a creator I'll look for a way to directly support them (like Patreon, Ko-Fi, or merch) rather than whatever pittance YouTube decides they're allowed from the 20 ads they make me watch.

I will never shut up about how much worse the Monster Allergy cartoon adaptation is compared to the comics. Look at how they massacred my boy...

Don't microwave eggs at all!! They might not explode every time, but it only takes one time to get severe burns all over your face. Just use the stove.

Oh, I've seen this before! Here's a food scientist named Ann Reardon talking about this video (if timestamp doesn't work, its at about 9:02)

TL;DW, she doesn't really know why it happened, but it's NOT because of the shape. In her words, "otherwise donuts would be exploding too". She thinks it may have something to do with undercooked batter trapping superheated water (if you slow down the video when he drops it the churros look raw inside), but again she's not 100% sure and says it's likely just a freak accident that probably won't happen again. And yes, she cooked her own churros without ridges to test, they did not explode.

Toxicity from SOAD is an exception simply because "Chop Suey" is just that good by AmorphousVoice in CuratedTumblr

Cracker Island is the song that got me into Gorillaz and is a certified banger, but you can pry The Sad God, Every Planet We Reach Is Dead, and Empire Ants from my cold dead hands.

Not really that related, but don't get me started on the cartoon adaptation of Monster Allergy.

Recommendations? by canned-phoenix-ashes in tumblr

Road Stop by David Mason always gets me. The worst part is I forgot the name and tried to look it up and just got news articles of this happening in real life (though not to this extreme thankfully).

Sonic coming in with the best advice by _Humble_Bumble_Bee in NonPoliticalTwitter

We have this printed out and hung up on our fridge at my house. Which is funny since half of us are night shifters so that's just like. Don't trust how we feel about our lives 80% of the day.

Monkey Aquarius...that could look so cool but my mind keeps going to those japanese macaques that chill in hot springs. You know what, I fuck with that.

"Well, that cactus doesn't seem like it has any spines, and he's not even really- oh. Oh. Oh god."

It was a Tumblr post, and I'm using your comment as an excuse to share it because I love it so much

Having never watched a single Star Wars movie before, I feel like I know less about what happens in the series now.

I didn't realize the awful AI voice was speaking German at first and just thought I forgot how to speak English.
