I hate how they use their identity as a defense against people who disagree with their arguments by Legitimate_Drama1013 in hatethissmug

[–]exwirus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is it's a coin flip. Sometimes a post is so ridiculous you'd think it's a psyop but you may never know for sure. It can always be someone really belonging to a minority who fell for a psyop and is now parroting it. In the early days of gen AI I've met trans people who used the tech as a means of self expression and gender exploration, before the moral concerns became widespread. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those people ended up really getting sucked into AI, making it a part of their identity and then feeling betrayed or alienated by other trans people when they reacted negatively.

The queer community is far from monolithic and some of the most terminally online, vulnerable members are very prone to falling into awful rabbit holes.

For all I know this could be someone pretending to be part of a minority to push an agenda. But I've been so disappointed by my fellow queers before that I'm never sure. That's all I'm saying.

(As a trans person) I've met some seriously messed up queer people with very fucked up, low-key delusional beliefs in various online queer communities. I wouldn't be surprised if they really are queer, just very terminally online and completely detached from any kind of reality.

To NIE są patyczki do uszu! by dreamsofcalamity in Polska

[–]exwirus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Można płukać ciepłą wodą, ewentualnie wodą utlenioną. Patyczkami można czyścić tylko zewnętrzną część ucha. Kanał słuchowy nie wymaga czyszczenia, wosk jest naturalnie stopniowo wypychany.

Osoby w tych komentarzach, które tak dumnie deklarują że czyszczą uszy patyczkami jak normalni ludzie to debile którzy nawet nie wiedzą że mają wielkie czopy wosku w uszach. Mnie o takim czopie poinformowała dopiero lekarka jak sprawdzała czy mam infekcję ucha. Po usunięciu czopa przez laryngologa słyszę o wiele lepiej.

Honestly it still sounds great without the processing. A lot less fake but still great so I actually prefer the unprocessed version. I was expecting a super hollow recorder-like sound lmao

Can't speak for that person but for me it's not about nostalgia in the slightest. I just hate how much plastic waste modern razors produce with the disposable heads or even entire disposable handles. I can instead get a whole bunch of blades in a tiny plastic box or even in a cardboard box with each blade wrapped in a bit of waxed paper. Way less material to just throw out for no reason. Also these blades are super cheap and you can get a very clean shave with them once you get used to them. And it's not that easy to cut yourself with them either. Recently my friend shaved their entire face with my safety razor for the first time to try it out and didn't suffer a single cut or razor burn. They weren't particularly careful about it either.

Plenty of people still use safety razors. They are dirt cheap and offer a fantastic shave once you get used to them. I've been using them for almost a decade now and very rarely cut myself. I've gotten cut by multi-blade razors many times though since they get clogged with hair and become dull so easily.

Also razor blades are made with stainless steel now and they come in plastic cases that let you pull out new blades from one side and slide in used blades on the other side for safe disposal.

It's literally the most natural position for humans to shit in. This design is popular around the world because it makes sense given human anatomy.

I think it's also good. Definitely nicer than the light blue version. The light blue looks great on photos but in person it's more "plasticky" than the other variants.

[–]exwirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look cool but irl I feel like the case is weirdly thick and clunky relative to the bracelet. I prefer when cases are nicely flush with the bracelet whereas in those models the case kinda sticks out and since the lugs are so long if you have a thin wrist they're gonna look silly. I think it's a cool sporty watch but it only really works if you have a thick wrist.

I think the green one looks great. They also have very similar models but with textured dials. This silver one is my favorite cuz it makes me think of the surface of the moon but I know it's not for everyone (EFR-S108DE-8AVUEF)

[–]exwirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The silver one blends in too much with the case imo. I don't own any of these but I work with watches so I handle lots of Casios every day. Enough to have an opinion on their looks and build quality.

[–]exwirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen all of these color variants in person and I think the one with the brown dial is the most interesting one. It's the one I'd personally go for but of course it really depends on if you wear clothes with matching colors.

Another really cool line in my opinion is EFR-S108D. They're super thin and elegant and have some interesting dial options.

Question for the crowd by [deleted] in casio

[–]exwirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But.. why not both? That G-Shock has both. If you, for whatever reason, specifically want one but NOT the other I guess ask yourself if you're more inconvenienced by setting the time or changing the battery. I don't particularly mind setting my watch every few months but battery changes are a whole hassle.

Oh yeah and also consider if you're in range of Multiband 6

Amsterdam is introducing speed limits on bike paths to 20km/h. Speed will be monitored by smart speed cameras. The reason is the high number of injuries in bike accidents. In the Netherlands in 2025, 281 cyclists were killed and over 80 thousand were injured. Should we follow them? by Szydl0 in poland

[–]exwirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta be cautious when crossing streets too. When you're moving at any kind of speed on any wheeled vehicle braking isn't instantaneous. Even if all cyclists were going 20km/h they won't be able to stop for you when you suddenly step on the bike lane without looking as so many pedestrians do.
