Probably just a minor processing error in your sound driver and nothing to worry about. I think I have had a similar experience with a particular white noise machine with hearing some slightly patterned sound when there wasn’t really a pattern. If it’s bothering you or increasing can’t hurt to go see a doctor (well can’t hurt too bad as long as you’re insured…) and get their input.

“When corrected” is doing a lot of work there

Oh no they’ll contaminate some glass and plastic that have been thrown away!

We’re in one of the best times to be alive in history and the world is still getting better in many ways, I just try to feel grateful for that when I see something that’s bad or getting worse.

Yeah just go ahead and put them in the metal / glass / plastic recycling, they will figure it out on that end with all the others that get thrown in there.

Nice. All corporate mergers are anti-consumer and anti-worker.

I think the big thing is not having any requirements to join, you just make an account and you’re in. I started out trying to join a different instance and the second I saw a list of questions to answer I noped out and came here.

That doesn’t make any sense. If I’m instantly transported 2 feet to my left I’m still going to be in the same room, not in outer space. Maybe you’re thinking of this issue with time travel?

Meaning you’re on a space station right now?

I need something in between this and a Kindle. I don’t want to build my own electronics, I just want to buy them from somewhere without sketchy ulterior motives for how they’ll use their control over my device.

Usually one in the morning. Once in a while another one if I get too sweaty or dirty.

Just go with whatever gender they more come off as to you so you don’t get confused.

I pirate and I think doing so should be legal and accepted. It’s one thing to have a copyright for profitable uses of some content, a whole other much crazier thing to say copyright forbids sharing that content for free. File sharing should be thought of the same way as letting your friend borrow your book - just a normal and uncontroversial nice thing to do, that you shouldn’t avoid based on some concern it will lead to lower book sales.

I was just a kid, get off my back!

I don’t encounter this much, but when I do I am sooooo mad

It’s a classic fallacy where people refuse to prepare a second best fallback option because they can’t accept the possibility of plan A not working. Very very foolish behavior since often the best way to improve your negotiating position to get what you really want is to have another alternative. Reddit would be more likely to give them what they want if every day they were getting more established at a new location rather than slowly deflating back on reddit.

What is going on with ask historians? Last I heard they seemed to just be shutting down entirely rather than relocating, very odd move for a forum many people really appreciate and would probably follow.

Or at least that’s what he’ll claim as it comes crashing down around him
