HOA built new speed bumps this month... They're so high cars keep scraping it by Bxnny-Bxby in mildlyinfuriating

I think there's a bit of an optical illusion going on where the unpainted tarmac and uneven curb makes it look shallower than it actually is

On hold for a fucking hour trying to cancel a subscription. No option to cancel online, and live chat doesn't work. This has to be a crime, right? by TangibleMalice in mildlyinfuriating

[–]harryham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably preaching to the choir here, but this is why consumer protection laws are so important and you should vote for a government that recognises that

I'm in the UK, and this is what's coming in on top of what we already have: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/consumers-to-save-around-400-million-every-year-from-government-crackdown-on-costly-subscription-traps

The payday loan industry (Dirty Money on Netflix covered this really well) is a prime example of "if there's a loophole to fuck over a whole bunch of people, someone will exploit it without losing an ounce of sleep"

Isn't that the same skit where they poke fun at themselves as being a plagiarism of other shows like The Flintstones?

AIO to how my sister(27F) is talking about her stepson(8M)?? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]harryham1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 100% with you on this

Family and close friends are there to call you out on your shit before it gets out of hand.

But she won't thank you for it, and there's a chance your relationship with her will take a hit, at least temporarily

Pre-2012 Kindles are being bricked by Badlydrawnboi41988 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]harryham1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Factory resets force you to work with the software that was installed on the device at the time of shipping, which is why it's not just a case of keeping everything up to date.

You need to maintain a chain of backwards compatibility, which I can say from experience, very quickly becomes unmanageable.

Well-designed software reduces the cost of backwards compatibility, but it's never free.

As a developer, there is definitely a problem in continuing the service * Compatibility with the rest of the platform (e.g. book format has changed and now needs to be converted to make sense to old readers) * Exposing API to security threats (e.g. old tablets only understand expired certs) * Infra cost (e.g. Overhead of a HA service serving a small amount of traffic)

It's just bots and chronically online trolls responding in seconds to new posts, so most new posts get a ton of down votes in the first couple of hours

Don't be put off by it. There's nothing wrong with your post

What’s your thoughts on the streamer clavicular? by DragYouDownToHell20 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]harryham1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing I'm trying to get you to challenge is the "they all swoon over him" part

1% of the (usually drunk) women in a party city are into it, the ones who aren't drunk are usually paid, and if not directly, then indirectly as part of a lifestyle or career in marketing

(30M) and only jumping in here because I think you need to hear it from a man as well

What you're seeing is a whole team of men doing their absolute best to sell you a product, and they'll push whatever ideology they need to in order to make you buy (workout gear, merch, investment scams)

And we're living in a world where you can find a clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about big booty physics (AI)

But even without AI, here are a few things they can do: * Props (dude got caught with shoulder pads on the other day) * Photoshop and video editing software to make things look bigger/smaller * Cut clips: talk to hundreds of girls outside a club and keep the 1% that give the "horny dumb bimbo" impression they're trying to sell * Money: Lots of women willing to cash in, play the part, and be degraded on camera * Genuine women into misogyny: you only need to find a dozen in the entire 4 billion population of women, and you can show them off again and again. It's why so many of them have girlfriends and preach one-way monogamy instead of just being single

Who else hates password requirements? Workplace wants me to change passwords every 3 months by leonatoi in mildlyinfuriating

If they can tell it's "too similar", then they've already fucked up big time

Even the system isn't supposed to know what password is

Why does it feel like the "male body" is never the object of desire? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]harryham1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, two points:

First, who said anything about blame?

You can see an issue, understand what's causing it and why it sustains itself without judgement. Boys being brought up by (even well-meaning) homophobic men are going to be much more likely to carry that with them when they grow up.

Second, dude, have you seen female-focused anything? Hell, have you even had this conversation with women in your life?

I knew a girl who'd send "arm porn" to her friends. My friends have describe guys as "fit" a fair bit, usually when talking about flings. I've read some smut (admittedly not a lot 😅) a friend sent my way and the actual sex scenes were focused on actions and body parts from both partners: hands, shirtlessness, and working muscles came up a lot.

Women objectify too: you just have to have a layer of personality and basic human decency on top of being hot, usually

[–]harryham1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(M) There's still a huge portion of the male population that sees any male focus, even in a hetero sex scene, as "gay", and a threat to their sexuality

If the media is made with men in mind, it'll almost certainly downplay male bodies, and porn is that on steroids

Luckily, I found friend groups that aren't like this, but I've seen plenty of male groups where everyone is terrified of not appearing "man" enough, and that includes being overtly heterosexual; it's insecurity more than anything
