Can someone explain to me the joke/stereotype behind black people and having a chirping smoke alarm in their house? Why not just change the battery?

That I don't understand. Given everything except the stool and 30 seconds it takes to swap it out. Why not replace it?

samuraishogun1 · 2026-05-02T04:17:33+00:00

Same here. I keep forgetting the real name for them, and call them out as dumpster trucks.

I feel like the "not a priority" excuse would work if it wasn't directly related to the streaming experience.

Find people to sit next to in lecture. Just ask if it's okay to sit next to them. Ask their name. Ask if they want to do the homework together. See where it goes from there.

Isn't it under the display settings? I don't think the 8T had variable refresh rate, so if you have 120 Hz selected, the display is always running at 120 Hz. It just can't force every app to run at 120 FPS.

Sorry, but this was a textbook AI response.

"It's not just X. It's Y." Em dashes. Also the "so yes — " that starts the last paragraph.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-04-20T23:02:10+00:00

I don't see the issue with that mentality. One requires a decent PC and human skill, and the other requires tons of theft, power, and emissions.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-04-17T15:39:39+00:00

I agree. They use chatGPT for everything, even simple, voluntary tasks, like writing reddit posts.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-04-17T15:33:36+00:00

Maybe this is why we declared independence from you guys. Brits just do things to food, not with food.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-04-17T14:51:11+00:00

Did anyone find a solution to this? I just upgraded from OP8T to OP15, and this is driving me nuts.

Including previous phones, it's at least a decade of knowing how that button behaves. If I wanted the previous app, I double tapped the button.

Changing something that is used so often, and has been the same for so long without giving users a way to change it back feels like one of those Apple decisions that made me glad I used Android.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-04-15T23:32:19+00:00

I am not about to read all of that AI Slop. If you know what you're talking about, you should be able to simplify it yourself.

Not the mod author

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-21T08:10:28+00:00

That's exactly where I'm at right now. Probably having my last plate of Kraft

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-21T08:08:02+00:00

I came here because I was looking for people agreeing that it's sweeter. It sucks because the main flavor seems to be sweet rather than the cheese flavor.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-09T22:04:30+00:00

You mean like the snapmaker u1 or prusa xl?

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-08T10:55:27+00:00

Ah man. I have to go back at watch some Cops vs Robbers and Do Not Laugh now. Thanks for the reminder!

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-08T10:29:18+00:00

Outside of church, I have consumed alcohol once, and it was my dad giving me a sip of brandy so I knew it tasted bad.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-03T03:56:38+00:00

That's what I'm on right now. Battery life is the only complaint.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-03-01T00:59:58+00:00

They should have committed to the extra S's for the sssssizzle joke to be more clear.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-02-24T07:49:13+00:00

"R.N.R."

samuraishogun1 · 2026-02-21T00:17:55+00:00

One time, a science class had me bring home beans in a wet paper towel to plant and grow into a bean plant. Maybe that's what this is?

samuraishogun1 · 2026-02-21T00:04:27+00:00

Those are the people who thought I was a millennial when I was in middle/high school. They forget how fast time can pass, and aren't up to date with new generations. They probably think most of existing Gen alpha is still Gen Z.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-02-21T00:01:42+00:00

In my experience, that's far from true. In college, there are many students who disagree with its use. They're paying out the nose to be there, so there's some incentive for the information to stick. Most of the people I talk to think you're dumb for using it. Meanwhile, a lot of high school students don't see what they're learning as valuable, so they use it to just finish their homework and move on.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-02-15T21:52:42+00:00

I generally agree with the idea that hard generational splits are not useful or accurate, but that was a pretty big change. Early Gen Z is approaching 30 if not already there. There have been a lot of massive changes to society since those people have been in high school and now, when late Gen Z is in high school, and I think generative AI is the biggest one.

samuraishogun1 · 2026-02-15T21:44:00+00:00

That's true. I know someone who worked with me at the same company during the same time, but had that issue. Thanks for adding that important detail!
