I have also destroyed tech in frustration. I am also in therapy. Hope you’re okay, I know I’m not.

I like how taskbar buttons dynamically resize depending on window title. I like that the size of the buttons on the taskbar are all different, and I like not having a way to change this back to the boring obvious tried-and-true standard of having buttons that are all the same size.

I like that the rules appear to not make any fucking sense, leading to situations where you can have 3 entries for the same program with the same content open that are all different sizes.

I like it because it takes me out of whatever I’m doing and forces me to notice the user interface. I like getting distracted by little hints of movement at the bottom of the screen that make me stop and go “wait what the fuck did it just do”.

I like that when I last searched for “windows 11 taskbar button resize disable”, the only mention of the word “disable” on the first page of search results was this:

I like having to put “site:reddit.com” at the end of my search query before I can even begin to scratch the surface of the issue.

And I like having to ultimately give up and live with it because at the end of the day, it’s a feature and not a bug.

Last time I got serious about weight loss, I just counted calories really aggressively. It worked.

It also helps to not be constantly depressed and stress-eating through the fall of democracy.

The line in this one is “bye bye tears”, pronounced in the way that refers to water that comes out of your eyes, and then shows a kid wiping suds out of their eyes.

Until now, I’ve never heard the claim that this was a play on words. I just figured it didn’t work.

Shit take. Give me something I can hold.

We are living the paperclip maximizer problem, except instead of paperclips it’s data centers.

“Stop being such a fascist and let us do business with these fucking murderers”

I’m getting 2meirl4meirl vibes

I don’t like neopronouns

I wonder if this was the same person who was on asklemmy or whatever saying “what can I do to convince my loved ones of the importance of data privacy”

My main strategy is to avoid needing to buy things online as much as possible. Failing that, what you described is all I know. It sucks. Every purchase feels like a gamble.

If you want to be safe, just tell me I’m pretty. Mentioning that I’m trans is liable to backfire depending on how severe the dysphoria gloomies are in the moment. I don’t always want to be reminded that I’m trans.

me coming across this at 3 AM on a weeknight

It is a work computer and it is not my choice.

I try to get around by means other than driving myself in a car.
