Yeah switched mine back to right Ctrl with 5 seconds in MS PowerToys. You can also map a double tap to open an app, so my copilot key is now just ctrl and open a private Firefox window, which is honestly more convenient than just a ctrl key. Accidental win, just not for copilot.
Oh of course, 100% agreed you can respond like that, and I’d chuckle and say thanks if it were me. Could also be a great way to bring levity to a situation that’s really difficult for some.
Also just want to add, I’m from Spain and it’s completely normal to say here. Definitely not an American thing.
I don’t think it’s a flex. It’s a major thing happening in their lives, so it comes up in conversations about what’s going on in life…
My wife and I will never have kids, but we know it’s a huge deal to those who do, and that once most people make the decision to try, it’s the most important thing on their mind and plan for their future. So yeah, if you ask someone who is spending 80% of their time preparing for a family “what’s up?” I think it is 1000% normal and valid for them to say trying and prepping for a baby.
As it isn’t an issue of bias or prejudice or personal harm, if someone is so squeamish and prude that they can’t let a friend (or hell, a nice stranger) give them a significant life update, they should get over it or pretend.
The 6th Sense, what’s in the box, Keyser Soze, Psycho/Norman Bates’s mother, Fight Club, Dorian Gray’s portrait, Rosebud/Citizen Kane, I am your father, Morbin’ all over the place.
The longer you think about how many stories are quoted or used for analogies and memes, the more you realize so many classic narratives/twists/moments get referenced every day until people who have never seen or read about the 6th Sense get the gist of the joke when someone says “he was dead the whole time!”
You could also look at a shop that sells and repairs jewelry. Make sure they’re highly rated, and they’ll be able to order and rig something up for you.
Enough with the Zelda posts! Not even gonna read this one closely…
I say “Fetty verse” when I’m talking about a few lines from the song Trap Queen
Wait how’s this actually work?
Actually it’s seeming a bit better rn but won’t know if it is fixed until checking in a few hours and seeing if the feed has changed
I am now seeing a few new posts mixed in with the same old ones every once in a while, but 7 times out of 10 when I refresh it’s just the same 20 posts.
Thank you! For all you do for the instance!
Is Anyone else experiencing an issue where for the last 6 days, the Scaled view of all instances hasn’t been updated and is only showing the same posts? Many with only one upvote and no comments. A post of a song called Polonaise No. 2 and a news story about neurodivergent kids helping each other are always at the top (as posts I remember off the top of my head) and the others have been the same too. Might this be an instance issue or am I the only one experiencing it? And is there a quick solve in either case? Thanks so much!
My friend doordashed a slurpee from 7/11, and I’ve always wondered who made that slurpee. Did the delivery person have to make and deliver it, or did the clerk have to come out from behind the bullet proof glass to make someone else a slurpee?
Learn only to change the topic if the previous one has concluded naturally or there’s a silence long enough to make a new question (eg, you seen that new movie?) seem like less of a non sequitur and more of an invitation to discuss something else common. Beyond that, it’s just about finding friends with diverse interests who are down for wide-ranging conversations.
Also, try forcing yourself to value some small talk and not just think to yourself “ahhhh this is pointless and/or I already know where it’s going!” Cuz hey, if someone is a friend, I’m willing to hear what they think about the weather, and maybe they’ll surprise you once in a while. Recognize it as something others are genuinely looking for and that you can provide (and come to enjoy!) rather than a burden or annoyance you have to go through, a sorta fake it to make it thing for us folks whose brains are go go go.
Looks tasty, but if I received that at even a fast casual restaurant, I’d never go back. If I made it for myself at midnight and it tasted good, I’d be real happy. But a packaged sausage on a piece of supermarket sliced bread isn’t something I’d pay for at a restaurant. I think it’s the relatively clean white plate and symmetry that’s giving your friend restaurant vibes, but he should also maybe go to better restaurants.
Second for osprey, they have bald eagle-like coloring, but the white under the wings is an osprey giveaway.
What movie?
Didn’t feel anything good, or didn’t feel anything sore? If I got back from a walk and I wasn’t feeling my knee, I’d call it a win.
Or PowerToys. So many easy options within Windows, but it’s more fun to complain and say Linux is the only valid choice.
