- I have decent throwing aim. I can shoot most trash into the bin from a couple of meters away. With practice, I can probably increase my range.
- I am pretty flexible for someone my size.
- I have a pretty scary evil laugh that can scare the neighborhood children away.

megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•A genie grants you a wish at random: you're guaranteed to win your next argument. Who do you argue with?English2·2 days agoYeah, that’s a good point. Maybe I can just cut to the chase and outright assert “You did a bad job, hand all your power to me.” 😅
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•A genie grants you a wish at random: you're guaranteed to win your next argument. Who do you argue with?English2·2 days agoI agree~ And thus I would agree that arguing with God (“I can do a better job than you!”) might be worth a shot.
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•A genie grants you a wish at random: you're guaranteed to win your next argument. Who do you argue with?English2·2 days agoWell, you may win the argument against the genie, but it doesn’t guarantee that the genie would be granting you more wishes–because maybe they just can’t (the universe itself might not let it or something).
Just like some convenience store clerk agreeing that your coupon should be accepted, but the higher-ups won’t–and she can’t pay for it because she’s got even less money than you do.
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?English2·3 days agoAlso why would the “Scan in store” thing pop up when I’m in my bedroom?
When I try using geolocation for my desktop or my phone connected to my home wifi, it is as if I were in the same building as my ISPs offices (or maybe servers?) I suppose it’s the same over there. Maybe there’s a CVS near (same building?) your ISPs offices.
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?English2·5 days agoWorse than the squircle button design?
- the height of the “Home” button isn’t even the same as the rest of the other buttons
- no spacing between the buttons
- the element surrounding those buttons don’t even contain buttons properly
- lack of proper spacing between the buttons and the containing element
I am not wanting vast swathes of white space between elements, but if you’re giving them background colors so that you indicate where the user can click (and thus interact with the button) at least have some decency to give them some breathing room. Sure, when hovering you can add an effect such that it either changes color, brightness, or gains a glowy border or what have you, but most of the time none of those elements are hovered! You’d be seeing them all crammed together like sardines in a tube!!
Oh, and I got so riled up that I didn’t even address that out of place “ExtraCare scan in store” element. Why is it even covering the “Discover” text? Was the foreground some interactive element that just popped up?
Sorry. The more I try to make sense of the UI, the more I think rounded/squircle buttons are the least of the problems there.
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you had an irl evil lair or HQ, what would the elevator or dungeon music be? ¡Explain urself!English4·6 days agoVery innocuous, even tongue-in-cheek, but never intimidating, almost verging on almost boring to someone who doesn’t listen closely.
So… something like these:

megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"?English2·6 days agoI’ve always thought the cut-off is whether it’s near the speaker (“here”) or near the person being spoken to (“there”). My native language has a three-way distinction (near the speaker (“dito”), near the person spoken to (“diyan”), far from both (“doon”)), so it’s pretty easy to just collapse it to “here” and “there”.
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What if the kōan about the sound of one hand clapping is a wank joke?English3·6 days agoOnly for a limited amount of time, kenja time.
megane-kun@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You have the ability to telekinetically manipulate objects near politicians, but they can't get injured or die before their fated lifespan is up; How do you embarass the politicians?English9·7 days agoManipulate nearby water (in glasses, but I am only interested in the water) to first be in the form of water vapor, and then turn back to liquid in the politician’s pits and nipples and eyes. Making him seem like he’s lactating during a very sombre press conference. Making him seem like he’s hyper-perspiring during speeches. Making him seem like he’s crying during budget deliberations.
I’ll make this happen repeatedly, without drawing attention to it unnecessarily. Just a politician who lactates, gushes water out of his pits, and cries.
Same! I was voluntold for the class basketball team because of my height. I was too unathletic for it, however, and I only lasted one week. However, like you, I can throw paper waste from almost anywhere in the classroom and shoot it into the bin. I can also shoot a worn-out piece of chalk to its container from the middle row. I was pretty lousy with paper planes though.
The “throw trash into the bin” ability comes in clutch when I’m too lazy to stand up and put trash into the bin. That’s where I got most of my recent practice!
