Well if you’re able to converse with them in their native tongue then I don’t understand the problem. You should be able to talk to them just fine.

This is the answer. You don’t need to become fluent or learn to read it. Just conversational so you can at least partially participate in conversations around them.

I’ve pretty much given up and just let Google have everything. I know that’s an unpopular opinion around here and I totally get it, but I just can’t be fucked to try and peel Google outta my life.

How is the S22 holding up? I’ve got an S23 which I got about a year ago and I have had battery protection on since I got the phone so my battery life is still 100% and I honestly can’t see myself needing an upgrade for at least 3 more years.

I’ve never personally tried adding the ’ before you import but the one document that was causing problems with that for me recently was an auto generated document so I couldn’t have possibly added any spaces or characters before excel went and messed them up anyways.

Oh I know. You can do that or just add a single space as well. But you cannot do that before the document is created so if you import something into excel it’ll just fuck all your numbers to shit and then you have to spend hours or days unfucking the numbers since even if you tell excel to treat that column as text only it won’t put the numbers back correctly.

It’s actually impressive how dogshit Microsoft products have become over the years. They clearly knew this was a problem back in 2016 or wherlnever that beta version was floating around where you could just disable the automated date feature entirely beforehand, but I guess they decided they liked pissing off office workers more than giving people meaningful QOL updates over the years.

I don’t want to know much much time I have “wasted” in my life trying to do something faster and ultimately fucking it up lol

I like your style.

And here I was just taking my crembule torch and some pliers holding onto both ends then cleaning up the bulge of melted plastic with a razer blade lol

You method seems far “cleaner” but I’m lazy and I’ll probably just keep doing my jank method. Still cool tho.

Microsoft just does whatever they want and we all have to deal with it. Especially in the corporate space. It’s infuriating at times.

The fact that you can’t stop excel from doing that until you are inside the document means that if you ever import anything into excel it WILL break your numbers into dates and you have to fix them manually. If you are typing a fresh doc you can obviously change the settings but I spent hours working with Microsoft support and they basically gave up saying that they used to have a beta version where you could disable it, but they never added the feature to live excel and they just gave up.

10/10 Microsoft.

Except for black cats…

Cause they are spooky.

Just make sure she doesn’t chill so hard she accidentally ends up in Poland without permission.

I love my gaming PC and 3d printer in the winter. Keeps my room toasty without me needing to run the heat much at all.

I hate those same things in the summer when I gotta have fans or AC just so I don’t melt lol

Common sense/critical thinking 101.

It is utterly baffling watching some people just bumble through life completely clueless.

I have lost track of the number of adults who have no clue how do their taxes. They either have their parents do them or they pay someone to do them for themselves. I consider myself basically financially retarded, but I still learned the bare minimum to be able to do my own goddamn taxes.

People don’t know the bare minimum about their vehicles and it ends up costing them thousands.

People are oblivious to their surroundings and never prepared for anything even slightly.

People just do things without a single thought towards the potential consequences of their actions.

I respect that. I also refuse to block people even I I really don’t like them. Only people who spam me or bots ever get blocked. I refuse to silence voices I disagree with because then I’m just bumbling through life completely unaware of an entire perspective which I find unhealthy. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with other people’s perspectives whatsoever but I am glad that I heard them.

I totally see your point and I completely agree. There is no way for me to know how much each individual user on this site is posting about or interacting with “Trump bad” content. Just scrolling through the front page or whatever it’s called around here it really seems like it’s an obsession from multiple people. Somehow more posts about Trump than on that other site which had a comical left lean already. This site from my limited time here seems to be even farther left and almost entirely void of moderate or right leaning voices.

So you can see how I might have gotten the impression that people around here really are obsessed around hating the guy (which I feel I must remind people I do completely understand to an extent).

I saw a post from awhile back where someone asked if this site was a left wing echo chamber and if that was a good idea. The fact that any comment on that thread that was even remotely moderate was downvoted tells me that the grand majority on this site are far left and unwilling to even entertain a single thought that isn’t also far left. Which is very sad. Because that’s how you lose all perspective and fall into endless echo chambers.

I don’t agree with many people around here but I am still very glad that I am able to have conversations with them and hear a perspective besides my own. I used to be further right on some topics, but after talking to people all along the political spectrum I found that I didn’t actually agree with my old stance anymore and I changed it.

Why would I shout at people who aren’t obsessing over a situation they can’t control and letting it bleed into their daily life?

I would say the same things to any far right nutjobs that were posting how much they hated all the liberal snowflakes or Joe Biden every day, but those people don’t exist on this site. So yeah its gonna appear like I’m only calling out one side of this coin because this site is almost exclusively the left side of the coin. I can’t really call out people who aren’t here now can I?

Again there is a big difference between paying attention and making hating someone a major part of your identity which I know for a fact is true for many people who are chronically online and on the far left.

And good on you for ignoring me. As you should. Exercise free will and don’t give time or energy to things or people you can’t do anything about.
