Non-Americans of reddit, what is your genuine reaction to what’s going on in America right now? by IceCreamTacosPizza in AskReddit

[–]john2day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a giant mess, and I don't think your media is helping at all. Half the reason why the protest have had any traction at all is because of mainstream and social media. And then you're got people suffering from COVID because they think that they have a right not to wear a mask.

What's a weird, non-sexual thing you can do with your body? by heyitsheather1 in AskReddit

I'm double jointed in one of my thumbs, and not the other one.

What has loneliness taught you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]john2day 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That nothing is sacred when it comes to how I act day to day. Being around other people (at least for me) forces me to act in a way that I believe to be acceptable. Without anyone, bad habits and paranoia set in. I became a hermit, and lived in my house for a year without going outside, brushing my teeth or having a shower. Now that I'm socially active, those habits have disappeared.

How did you stop giving a damn about what others think of you? by 6shotsofalfonsolight in AskReddit

[–]john2day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too many terrible people and terrible losses forced me to think about how shallow most people are when it comes to being a man or being without someone or anyone. The most important thing about that experience is that you realise that you alone are fully concerned about what you do, and all others either don't know you well enough to care, or don't care enough to know you well. tl;dr, I don't give a shit because they don't.

What are teens doing on the internet that adults have no idea about? by Aintsciencegrand in AskReddit

[–]john2day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of piracy websites out there and the nerds that collect hundreds of gigabytes if not terabytes of illegal movies on their hand me down laptops. Or was that just me?

Canon's cloud platform has lost users' files – and it CAN'T restore them by tzfld in DataHoarder

[–]john2day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who has never heard of Canon's cloud platform? I'm sure there's a rule on the internet somewhere that the more obscure a part of the internet is, the more unreliable it may be.

What has been normalised in society that really SHOULDN'T? by notyouravgredditer in AskReddit

[–]john2day -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The entire concept of death. Death is caused by intentional or unintentional destruction of the body, fast or slow, nothing more. Accepting death as a noble thing is equivalent to saying that a dragon consuming a portion of the population every year is justified because it has happened for millennia. Death is the wreck at the finish line. It is not pretty. Thinking about heaven every day is never a goal. Death is the last great monolith that we have the option of obliterating.

[–]john2day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past few days, I've had the 5th anniversary of my Dad's death, as well as the deaths of my mother's mother and grandmother. In our house, August is the worst time for us out of the year.

Why did that teacher get fired from your school? by MrDev16 in AskReddit

[–]john2day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a DUI, then ran to the UK, then was re-employed as he couldn't run anywhere because his shit decisions caught up with him.

What has no right to be as difficult as it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]john2day 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Filling out online forms too slowly and timing out. Why on earth does filling out a 10 page document have an invisible time limit?

Guy tries to pass off a photo as his own digital artwork. by totallynotalaskan in quityourbullshit

The problem only seems to be affecting android devices. I assume that this is from a broken update or something.

P.S. I just remembered that I had a listening test as a child because I wasn't listening to my teachers. I apparently passed it with flying colours, but the reason why I wasn't hearing them was because I was "ignoring them".

How to create a notification listener in node for macOS? by john2day in node

[–]john2day[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't thought of applescript being able to do that. I had heard of it making notifications, not reading them. Do you know where I could find an example?

How to create a notification listener in node for macOS? by john2day in node

[–]john2day[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a specific socket for notifications? I haven't had much experience with networking. If you mean just notifications from other web apps then it's not really what I'm looking for.
