A long time ago webcomics used to be one of my favorite things online, now online comics (not comic books) on average are one of my most regular causes for cringing. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Read the whole article looking for the brutal blow. I guess it was her saying She knows he's incompetent?

Okay, the part where that bot is depicted as a young preteen boy?

Cumulative effects of ADHD burnout in middle age. in c/adhd@lemmy.world
[–] classic@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

As a species we have really jumped the shark. Given that, I find myself asking what to do with it. Do I resist? Do I accept with calmness, with resignation, with the revelry at the absurdity of it all? Do I dismiss the idea of meaning and purpose? Of there being right ways that things should be? Abandon even the idea of absurdity as another form of judgment? Yeah, I know I probably sound 14 and deep, but Inadequate as my writing might be, it's what I grapple with.

Seeing the onslaught of traffic, stuck, moving in one direction, and then the other direction in my locale knowing this is replicated everywhere across the continent and even further out into more and more cities all across the planet. That's the one that I just can't get over. That's beyond nonsense and in the realm of insanity

I assumed he was some kind of public figure familiar to someone out there?

Like, even in the middle of apprehending some burglars he can't help himself from glancing up a few times, in case

What's your go-to online dictionary? (fedia.io)
 

English language for me, but list options for other languages to benefit others!

Do you wish a Happy Mother's Day to your friends who are mothers or just to those in your own family? (fedia.io)
 

And what's a good friendly message or meme to send just to say I think they're great at being mothers?

I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? (fedia.io)
 

I'm looking to cart products around to sell on foot.

Basically I want a box on wheels with bars in the front that I can lift and then walk forward. Similar to the idea of a rickshaw, but instead of seats for people, a container that can hold ~200lbs of weight. Or the type of thing you'd connect to a bike, except I want to just pull it on foot. The added element is that I want to be collapsible or able to be dismantled when not in use. Surely this must exist but I have no idea what term to use to search for it.

"Rickshaw" mainly brings results related to pedicabs. The closest I got was "utility cart" like this for example. But the problem with these, unlike a rickshaw style design, is they don't scale well with the addition of weight where two wheels is easier than 4, depending on the surface. Also, versions that can be taken apart of collapses aren't rugged enough.

I've used a hand truck put into the flat configuration in the past. But that lacks the box component to contain the products. I can stack boxes on it, but that gets unstable. And, again, the 4 wheel flat design doesn't scale well with weight compared to the rickshaw concept.

So, yeah: what do you call that?

Just played Area 51/Maximum Force at a retro-arcade. Are light gun shooter games still a thing? Any recent versions available for PC? (fedia.io)
 

And, if they are, any recommendations for a gun controller?

If you donate to a service, do you so anonymously? (fedia.io)
 

Like if you want to donate to a website that maintains trackers, or files, do you take steps to make it anon, or just use paypal or whatever? If you do, how do you go about doing that?

There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)
 

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

Is there a way to crop the field of vision / frame of the webcam? (fedia.io)
 

I'm on a Legion Lenovo Slim 5. The webcam shows too much area around me during video calls (the browser based teleconferencing tool that I use doesn't have settings to adjust this).

I tried the cameractrls app, but it doesn't offer any way to crop or zoom in. Any other suggestions?

Is there an e-reader that would allow you to edit an .epub file? (fedia.io)
 

Beyond just marking up an e-book, are there any devices that would also allow you to edit the file itself?
