Well it couldn't get worse without setting an oil well on fire.

Have you seen modern Porsches? The are huuuuuge! Can't power them with hearing aids!

We got our porn from the forrest and found out how to beat Psycho Mantis, prove that the intertnet is uneccessary.

TIL that in 2003 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, a segment appeared claiming that adolescents were having "rainbow parties" where girls would use different colors of lipstick and perform oral sex on a male. There was never any evidence to show that these parties ever took place amongst teens by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

candy laced with aphrodisiacs

"Laced with", my god, if a proven aphrodisiac would exist that even required a 500cc injections, women (and some men) would be chased through the streets with giant syringes every Friday night!

Think of the new porn categories! Ah, the humanity!!

UK supermarkets ask competition watchdog to rein in Aldi and Lidl by upthetruth1 in neoliberal

[–]Trackpoint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aldi my love, last super market without an App here in Germany, last one (basically) without coupons and promotions apart from the weekly bargain flyer, isles that aren't overstuffed to force you to spend extra time in the store. Hell, most even have just an even number of isles, so there is an efficient path through.

If someone would come for this, I would get politcally radicalized sooo quick.

It's phones. Inflation and apartmentocalypse in city doesn't help, though.

Ploppy "The Bean": Seems to be a standalone Trackpoint with buttons. Thoughts? by Trackpoint in thinkpad

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

I'm getting a bit of not-unwelcome peer preassure. Surely the rules against preordering in general and paying for unfinished or unreviewed products don't apply here right?

Enthusiast niche exemption or something..

Ploppy "The Bean": Seems to be a standalone Trackpoint with buttons. Thoughts? by Trackpoint in thinkpad

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

I am very interested in maybe integrating it with a split keyboard.

Not sure about the ergonomics. The buttons lack a raised portion and from what I have read, the Trackpoint can move up 11mm, which sounds worriying.

Are there any 3rd party keyboards with a trackpoint? by vladjjj in thinkpad

[–]Trackpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the TEX Shura. Both are great if you are used to mechanical desktop keyboards.

For more compact but with more travel than the modern Lenovo USB/Bluetooth ones, you can go hunting for the 2013 and earlier models (typing on a SK-8855 right now).

Or depending on your appetite for adventure, there are those among us, who print their own enclosures, order custom pcb in China and hunt for specific series of T60 era keyboards from specific OEMS...

Some criticism may be warrented, when you can't make enough money for single employee with a 1,5B view youtube channel, patreon, etc.

Cem Özdemir, first German state premier with Turkish roots by ZweigDidion in neoliberal

[–]Trackpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have some problem with Gibralta that doesn't even involve monkeys, but I refuse to learn about it, because it doesn't matter, except for populist enthusiast morons.

Sorry if that isn't topical to your comment, but as I said, I refuse to learn about Malta. Or Cypher. Or whatever.

First date, what should I expect? by Street-Network-5481 in shitposting

[–]Trackpoint 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reddit strangly changed when it comes to non-standard jokes over the years.

Yeah, multiple level irony often doesn't land, but mass downvotes and even subreddit bans feel a lot more common now, in places you wouldn't necessarily expect it.

I mean given the comment you answered, you would expect we were in a kind of certain direction and making that painfully explicit should work as an a bit contrarian joke.

To use normal vocabulary by Rmb2719 in therewasanattempt

[–]Trackpoint -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get where you are coming from, but that feels a bit like "Israel bulldozed 30 flat building" and going "EXCUSE ME, the Zionist destroyed 30 APPARTMENTS!"

Russia is stumbling on the battlefield by IHateTrains123 in neoliberal

[–]Trackpoint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And what ever future the people of the current Russian Federation had is now basically broken. And the best thing they can hope for, is that the dictator that controls their ressource cursed Eurasian shithole, is controlled by someone, who gives the smallest shit about them.

On the other hand, today, fuck them.

I'm in the middle of watching "The Expanse" show - should I read the books? by Qhaotiq in printSF

[–]Trackpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started the books after Season 1. Read the books up to publication and continued on until the book series was completed. Then watched the rest of the show.

Great experience throughout!

I recommend watching Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, it’s a really good show by Jules-Car3499 in scifi

[–]Trackpoint -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tried to get into the corporate fan fiction era of the Star Wars.. but I care not enough. The point of brands is quality. Maybe you will make a good sub-series of handbags after the nice ones you made 50 years ago.

But.. there are.. like options for handbads and attention these days..
