That just made this 1000x funnier. Thank you!

I guess it depends on what you call it. I’ve seen creditors that have autopay features that can draft it from your bank accounts each month. Usually those are for your minimum payment, which usually stretch out your balance for up to 30 years (to maximize interest charges).

I personally don’t like autopay. It’s an old habit from back when I would overdraft my checking on the regular because I always spent more than I made. Nowadays, I think it’s because I like the responsibility/control of paying my bills manually, and on my terms.

If you can pay your statement balance on time, then there is no “+ extra money”.

~That is often much easier said than done.~

Don’t feed the trolls. I know she’s your mom, but not everyone deserves a response. If she keeps on you, just wave her away with “I heard you”.

Dude, this is more of an !asklemmy@lemmy.world thing. Now a shower thought.

Nothing in what you describe are “children’s toys”. LEGO, Atari, RC cars, etc can be enjoyed by all ages.

Don’t let your personal insecurities convince you otherwise.

I’m a 48-yo man who enjoys retro gaming, and I would love to get into LEGO if I had the space for it. And if anybody tried to tell me otherwise, I’d laugh at them.

I’ve lived too damn long worried about what other people think about me to care anymore. I’m going to live MY life now, and you should live YOURS. Fuck the haters.

~Now get off my lawn!~

Oh god. That is so me. Always with the “if only” mentality. If only ________ then I could do ________.

And of course, it never gets done. 😅

This is the equivalent of a woodworker building jigs and other tools with their thousands-of-dollars of equipment.

Source: me. I do this. 😬

Very valid.

Porn and sex work itself aren’t bad, and are natural extensions of our human condition.

The shameful parts are the people who create sex trafficking rings, child/incest porn, and porn that imitates child/incest porn. There’s probably more shameful uses of porn, as we are also a degenerate society in a lot of respects.

I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time.

Your argument hinges on use and abuse; not something typical inside of a casket, buried 6-feet underground.

~There are exceptions to every rule. 😱~

I just wrapped my kids’ Christmas presents and put them under the tree. I really took my time this year too.

The point isn’t whether it’s needed or not. It’s not about space or features. The point is that a major player made a design decision and bucked the system. And while there may still be some phones with audio jacks, the majority of mainstream phones don’t. That major player is still successful, and other companies followed suit.

Can we agree this is what should happen to HDMI. No?

🤦‍♂️

There would be uproar, but like the audio jack on phones people would come around. All it would take is one big enough company to pull it off, and the rest would follow.

This wouldn’t work to scale. If Valve paid to license the spec for the Linux kernel, it would have to pay for every person who downloaded the driver, which is far more than the amount of people who buy the Steam Cube.

Unless of course you’re suggesting that the kernel driver for the new spec become closed source.

If you haven’t already found it, you need to change your global git config (~/.gitconfig):

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

(or whatever you want to call it; e.g. daddy would work too)

For any existing repositories you want to run the following command in the existing repository root (./.git/config):

git config set init.defaultBranch main

It’s called a euphemism. We all know that a vegan is someone who does not use animal products (e.g. meat, eggs, dairy, leather, etc). By using AI in front of the term vegan, OP intimates that they do not use AI products.

I suspect you’re smart enough to know this, but for some reason you’re being willfully obtuse.

~Then again, maybe not. 🤷‍♂️~
