The self checkout at the grocery here makes you have a worker check and enter your coupons for you. Even though they have barcodes. And cameras galore. And they mail you dozens of coupons every week.
What’s even the point of self checkout at that point? It took longer waiting for them to come check and approve my three coupons to save $1.50 than just going through regular cashier line, and I didn’t even get to avoid talking to someone. Did that twice and won’t do it again.
If they want me to work for them, I’m gunna need an employee discount. I hate everything about self-checkout. I have yet to find an implementation of it that is better than the default cashier experience.
(This is not meant as saying you are wrong for your preference ofc, I just don’t understand how people actually like them)
Lactose intolerance is rough.
Specifically the upper peninsula region, and probably more rural, they sound quite similar to that stereotypical Canadian accent. The first time I met someone from there (born and raised country boy), I legit thought he was from Canada due to that stereotype (I’m older and wiser now).
I can hear this picture.

SolarMonkey@slrpnk.netto AskUSA@discuss.online•How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same?English6·5 days agoI’m American and I got over most of the worst of my social anxiety with propranalol… I take it for blood pressure, but it’s a beta blocker, and basically interrupts the signals from the amygdala (fear center). It’s not a cure in and of itself, but when coupled with exposure therapy (just do the thing that makes you anxious, in my case) it can break phobias by basically neutralizing the physical symptoms and letting you deal with the mental ones more clearly.
But in all honesty, I’m still socially anxious, it’s just much more manageable these days. I think that’s the best I can hope for since I’m a big time introvert naturally, and socializing is exhausting.

SolarMonkey@slrpnk.netto Gaming@lemmy.world•Quests? Storylines? Never heard of herEnglish7·5 days agoIf they wanted me to do the main story first they wouldn’t have made side quests and collectibles to pad out the play time immediately available.
This has backfired big time from time to time, for example horizon forbidden west, all that side shit is much easier if you actually do most of the main story asap…
But typically it just means the end boss is easier and that’s ok.
My partner and I went to a resort town while things were in the weird not-entirely-closed-but-weird post-lockdown phase. We figured it would be absolutely dead and we were right.
It was mid spring or so, and we walked from our hotel to a nearby private pier (owned by a condo or high-end hotel or something), with a growler of beer and some glasses, hopped the gate and sat there on their deck furniture, naked, drinking in the dark on this lake for several hours. Not a soul in sight. Just the night sky, us, and a good time.
Then a cold breeze rolled in and we hurriedly got dressed and walked back to the hotel down the center of the street.
It was super surreal, very enjoyable, and had that liminal space feeling to it.

SolarMonkey@slrpnk.netto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Thinking of switching to Surf Fiber internet from the Comcast Xfinity Cable I currently have - any suggestions?English6·5 days agoI don’t know this company but fiber came into my area (central WI) a few years ago and I couldn’t be happier.
Prior to that the infrastructure I was on for cable internet was old and would have frequent problems.
The brand new infrastructure is figuratively worth its weight in gold, imho, even if the company itself is just as crap and your price ends up the same.
Even better, the fiber cables run underground, so other than having them severed when digging, they won’t go out unless there is a major widespread outage. No random branch taking out your service in a wind storm or whatever nonsense.
I spent longer than I care to admit trying to figure this out… and I’m still not confident I got it right.
Are they saying they don’t date so they can work more (bread), the same way they get bread instead of coleslaw (arguably worth a lot more)?
I don’t think I ever saw that one, but gtg or g2g were pretty common in my spheres
Excellent, thanks for the feedback, I’ll give it a go :)
Awesome thanks, I’ll do that.
I’m not really into vampire stuff but it came up when looking for comedy type stuff (because sci-fi has gotten overall quite depressing and I need something that isn’t), so I nabbed it and there it sits.
But I’ll give it a shot with the movie at least. :)

SolarMonkey@slrpnk.netto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026English4·8 days agolol ok, sure.
In what way? Give examples plz.
Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.
It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.
