I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

We have strayed so far from God

Nice to know I can finally cancel Prime though. The entire value proposition has now gone. Free shipping is hugely conditional (and prices are artificially jacked to cover it in the first place), and now they want to put the worst thing on the internet (ads) into the only component of Prime I still sorta kinda use sometimes. I'd rather keep the $140 a year or whatever.

Forgive me, sire; I hadn't $80,000 to spend on a luxury truck.

You fuck.

What do you swear by? (lemmy.world)
 

Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

I just subscribed to Lifehacker a few days ago, and now I've unsubscribed. The articles are nothing but tech product-shilling, non-stop. Mostly Samsung and Apple. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Anything that is, or once was affiliated with Gawker / GMG is, in its current state, a cringe-inducing, shambling husk of whatever it once was. My muscle memory still directs me to a number of those blogs and everyday I recoil at what has become of them.
