Comment on What weird food combo did you not realise was weird? in ~food

I mean, I'm all for porridge (or other hot foods) for breakfast, but what I like about cereal is the cold dairy (milk or yoghurt etc.) with crispy cereal – eaten fairly quickly before it has time to get soggy.
As a side note, I was once served cornflake ice-cream where the cornflakes had been steeped in the cream used, and it was delicious and tasted exactly like it should.

When I moved out, I was SO ready for it… had been longing for it for years. Yet, the first night alone.. I felt soooo lonely and “on my own” that I actually cried. Despite being a “manly” dude that almost never cries. Despite having friends in the neighborhood, despite being a 15 minute walk away from my parents house. It took a couple of days for that feeling to subside, and me getting to the joyful feeling of being on my own - living by my own rules etc. I’ve since heard similar stories from many others about their first couple of nights away. It’s normal, and it’ll pass quickly - but I was definitely NOT prepared for it, and no one warned me about it.

And they think that by co-opting simple rules and playing by them on their own terms, the world should be on their side. Like the whole “I got banned for saying ‘Adios!’ which is not even a curse word!” kind of reasoning. In my opinion, responding with “adios!” can be anything from friendly, to passive-aggressive assholery.. it all depends on context. The word “Goodbye.” would have done exactly the same in the exact same context. Despite being a proper and neutral polite word, It’s obviously passive-aggresssive and dismissive in its context. So even when I read just that persons side of the story, it still reeked of “aah, this person is THAT kind of asshole”.

As a beta tester of the backtick iOS app.. I think it could potentially be coded with a setting that automatically loads/shows a clickable thumbnail for any direct image links .. let the app crawl the link and bring back the image to those that want to see it, but wouldn’t require changing the way Tildes works for those who prefer the way it is now. Could be done as a similar experience to how the Apollo app handled images in Reddit feeds/threads.

Comment on New users: Ask your questions about Tildes here! in ~tildes

Maybe it's visible somewhere and I've just missed it – but either way, I would like to understand more about voting on Tildes: What's the philosophy and culture on how and when to vote? I just don't want to assume it's "like upvotes on reddit" but am trying to understand the context of the vote. Especially since there's a neutral semantic connotation to a "vote" as compared to e.g. a "like".
Like, do I sprinkle votes on every comment I feel is worthwhile, or is the intent to be more restrictive with the votes? Should the votes be given to comments that I believe add value to the discussion, or could/should it be used to voice quick and simple agreement rather than the all to pointless "This." comment? Do I vote as a courtesy on any comment to me because that's just part of the culture? Is there even a consensus or do Tilde users just adopt their own individual voting philosophy?

But in comparison to many american sitcoms of the time, Steven Moffat did a good job of spreading out the fun weirdness and personally traits over multiple characters, rather than having each character represent a quite one dimensional stereotype.

In terms of sitcoms it's sort of in the vain of Friends but just so much better (although I still re-watch Friends regularly for the nostalgia, or just to fall asleep to). Coupling is not high-brow or overly intellectual in any sense, but of course it's a bit more intelligent in its humour, and it's a very casual and fun watch in my opinion.
Of course I understand that the reason he's at the front race after race is the combination of a good car, with his ability to be constantly on the margin of what that car is capable of without overstepping it – something all of the F1 drivers are unthinkably good at when compared to racing capacity of the rest of the world... But nowadays it feels almost like his level of enthusiasm after another "easy" win is about the same as mine when leaving the office at the end of the day. "Ok, another productive day at the office where we met the expectations. Well done colleagues – see you tomorrow to do it all again". It's lonely at the top, and the only direction you can move is downwards.
In later years, the legendary 2021 season and the constant battle with Lewis/Merc was where it's at. And I say that even as primarily a Lewis fan – the man who lost in the end.
