I acknowledge your existence

[–] lazyslacker 1 points 1 year ago

It still does, but it used to, too

I've actually usually been impressed with my credit card provider's ability to detect fraud. I'll go on a trip overseas without telling them and all is well. They will flag a weird charge at a restaurant in like North Carolina though. Pretty impressive.

Nah they're those little skewers used to hold the burger together. Might work ok as a toothpick though.

What is this "rule" trend I'm seeing recently? What does it mean?

At this point you get into a philosophical discussion about what "right" really means

Dude you can just turn on the "night" mode on whatever device you're using and completely solve your problem. You don't blame the sun for being too bright, you just put on sun glasses.

In my experience, this is intentional. You're watching a thing with full dynamic range sound. Honestly, the intention is for you to have a decent speaker system and to turn it up so you can hear the dialog comfortably. The loud parts will be loud and that is the intent. Why would they make the loud parts quiet? An explosion isn't supposed to be quiet. They shouldn't make it quiet for the sake of you listening to it through your TV's built in speakers at 2 in the morning while the rest of the house is asleep. If you need the dynamic range to be compressed for your purposes you can do that yourself. Many devices have this option these days. My Roku has "leveling" and "night" modes which compress the dynamic range so there's not such a difference between the quiet parts and the loud parts.

Is there a reason this isn't just a link to an article? Is an image of a headline of an article on a website really a meme?

What an odd thing to be upset about. It's other people's stuff, leave it alone. It's not harming you either way. Besides, I see plenty of janky Nissan Altimas around with damage the owner/leasee obviously has no intention of repairing.

It was a freak occurrence. I hesitate to call it an accident because the pig is probably not incontinent.
