When I ordered a watch band that for some ungodly reason required a signature they would accept anything. Wouldn’t take it anywhere else. Wouldn’t accept the signature on the back of the “sorry we missed you” paper. Wouldn’t let me change anything online. They came 3 days in a row (Wed-Fri) before informing me they were returning it to sender. Luckily they tried again on Saturday and we were home.
I’m here to satisfy my addiction to doomscrolling. Bring on the memes.

My great aunt gets their fish catered for her family Christmas party every year
“Necessary” I’m fine with. “Unnecessarily” is impossible for me though. Can’t even get close enough for autocorrect, needed to use the microphone…
We bring ours home to our outside trash can because once we threw it away in a neighbor’s and he brought us the poop back and not-so-kindly suggested we keep it out of his trash. (The trash collector was coming within the hour to collect the can, and the bag was tightly tied)

Technology@lemmy.world•Removing Watermarks From Images With Gemini Is Now Way Too EasyEnglish
7·10 months agoWhat if I asked it to place a white border around the image? Would it watermark the white, which I could then crop?
It was a Christmas gift, but thanks for the heads up!
I have a soda stream and then several flavoring options. I have mio and other brands, then soda syrups, and cocktail mixers. That way I can control the amount of sweet. I personally don’t like the flavor of artificial sweeteners or stevia so I try to find ones that use real sugar and real fruit extract. There’s some with caffeine too.
Which is why my mother homeschooled me. Couldn’t let the indoctrination happen. Just gotta pray away the self harm and eating disorder.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is there a search engine that blocks websites known to create low effort/AI generated articles?English
13·1 year agoUnless I need something recent whenever I search I update the results to dates from like 1999 to 2021. Filters out a lot of unnecessary crap.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have a Christmas meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with your friends and family? If so, how was your experience this year?
1·1 year agoThat sounds like our thanksgiving! 10/10 would recommend.

1·1 year agoWe live out of town (8 hours away) so we visit for a week over Christmas every year. My in-laws live an hour away from my parents so we attempt to split the time as best as we can. We are not allowed to stay at my in-laws because we have a dog that isn’t friendly. My family is super understanding and has worked really hard to gain her trust. My in-laws refuse to do anything except talk bad about her and complain that we don’t visit enough. The worst this year has been that my sister’s (24) boyfriend just broke up with her like 3 weeks ago (by dropping off her belongings and blocking her) so she’s going through it. She had a perfectly fine time for a day or two, went out with us, would have conversations, but then started locking herself in her room (she still lives with my parents). But there’s been a few uncalled for moments in my opinion, breakup or not, like telling my mom “I had a list for a reason” while opening presents because my mom got her something else she might like (especially since her entire list was hunting and fishing stuff, activities she did with her ex). Also my two year old was sobbing outside her locked door, begging to see her, and was ignored. We always do a sibling activity together (go out to a fancy restaurant, escape room, axe throwing) and this year she was hot and cold with it. We would discuss doing something and she wouldn’t say anything but only text us later that she was never planning on going. Finally last night I went off on her a bit. Told her I never get to see her and I wanted to go out and to spend some time with her. That I’m sorry she was having a shitty time but it wasn’t my fault. I’ve never had a great time visiting for holidays but I’ve never been more excited to go home that I am this year.
For most of my life whenever I felt shitty for a few days but hadn’t cried yet, I’d put on a sad movie and just bawl during the whole thing. Felt much better after a good cry and a good sleep.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What wouldn't you have minded so much if it wasn't exaggeratingly bad?
17·1 year agoAI. If people want to use it to help them rephrase a letter better that’s totally fine. But it’s shoved in my face at every turn and in 99 cases out of 100 it’s useless with several of those being downright dangerous.
My uncle landed himself in jail after getting drunk and beating up his 19 year old son. His wife has refused to leave him so while we haven’t cut her off completely it’s weird now. There was a big rift when my mom said he wasn’t invited to Christmas. Also, my grandmother (my aunt and my dad’s mom) died a few months ago and we found out that my aunt had been taking a lot of money from her over the years as well.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many pieces of toilet paper do you use to wipe after peeing?
14·1 year agoAt home: 3 squares, folded. At other places with different paper: 4-5, depending on quality. Out and about with the tissue paper that exists in public bathrooms? Maybe the length of my arm.
Yeah I wasn’t sure how to word it because I know that different places have different naming mechanisms. But from 6-18 years old I was homeschooled. There was a co-op or two where I technically did classes with others, and I did a year of Cyber school before it was cool but most of my education came from me self-teaching from textbooks and “curriculum”.
Homeschooled 1st-12th grade with the exception of 4 months of public school in first grade.

Funnily enough I have a masters degree and work in a public school
