You know that guy that died from eating all of the big Macs. There is no justice in the world there really isn't.

I have this issue with my soundbar on my TV. The volume has to be like 95% or it's too quiet. But if you disconnect the soundbar and just use the TV speakers you get absolutely blasted out of the room by normal speech.

Measuring sound as percentages is meaningless.

Nope. I've just turned my volume up to max settings and then kept my finger on the button nothing comes up it just stops increasing in volume.

I feel left out, like Android doesn't care about me.

I think people's biggest fear with paying for the apps is that they'll end up in a situation where they are just throwing good money after bad and not getting anything for it. Then you get into the sunk cost fallacy and it's really difficult to get yourself out of that headspace.

The problem is the apps say that they have recommendations that you only have to pay to unlock but I don't believe them.

Yeah and they all suck as a result.

I keep meaning to have a proper look into it and see if there are any actual dating site / apps that are independent. It's a massive pain because usually you can't really tell if an app is going to be any good or if it's just another clone until after you've already signed up. It's quite the time investment.

There are of course things like hobby clubs you can join but you have to get lucky with those. There risk that you will just be distracted and end up with an expensive hobby.

Yeah but that's not dating that's a hookup. Completely different ball game. Much easier to maintain a facade for a couple of days when both parties know that there is no potential for relationship.

Actual dating requires you to maintain for the long haul.

So if a person struggles with confidence your solution is for them to stand upon stage? There seems to be an important first step that seems to have been skipped.

The most annoying thing about the self checkout is the need for you to put the entirety of your shopping on the time you weighing plate to make sure that I'm not buying my weekly shop but then sneaking a bottle of water past the system.

At least the IKEA self checkouts don't do that. They let me buy my Pœlēøïng in peace

Assuming we ever actually get a price. Still no word on that.

Because he's a petulant man child who not only does he not think two moves ahead, he doesn't even think about the current move. You could go all the way back into human pre-history and struggle to find a more useless person.

He really cannot understand the concept of "No"

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
