Shrinkflation is out of control
  • I recommend you check out TheFreePizzaDude on Imgur. There is a limit to how often you can receive donations (like once every other month), but they will help with getting you a pizza or even some regular groceries if you ask.

    A photo of Robert Oppenheimer with a fade haircut and ear piercings photoshopped on, along an edited quote: "Now I am bussin, the hardest ong." Below the quote is a historical-style caption that reads "J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of Drip."

    Nah, not worth the trouble
  • Every damn time. IMO, it's not really free if it requires a payment method; free trials should automatically end when the time is up instead of making you the one responsible for canceling to avoid being charged.

  • Olé
  • What kind of psycho gets a knuckle tat on the inside of their knuckles?

  • Twitter to hide news headlines from link previews
  • You know if you block something you aren't interested in you don't even have to scroll past it, right?

  • You should learn how to properly write accessible image captions as the fediverse has a large amount of blind and visually impaired users who rely on screen readers
  • Alt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what's essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don't need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what's going on.

    As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image's meaning than its aesthetics. This means you're not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.

    I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.

  • Welcome!
  • "Am I a joke to you?"

  • What immediately makes you lose respect for someone?
  • Blasting music/videos on their shitty phone speaker in public. If you really don't have headphones, at least turn it down or hold the speaker closer to your ear so you're not just annoying everyone in a 10-meter radius.

  • Does anyone have any favorite recipes for cheap, nutritional meals?
  • This is more of a broad suggestion, but try to look for a discount grocer in your area. Where I live we have one called Grocery Outlet, they sell a lot of generic and near-expiration products for a bargain. Whenever I go, I'll find things I like that are around half the price they'd be at a typical grocery store.

  • I find the slices of bread deeply disturbing for some reason.
  • There's a pillar directly in front of the oven too. I guess the tenant can just forget about cooking anything bigger than a pizza bagel.

  • What's your pet peeve in your favorite video game?
  • Bethesda is like low-hanging fruit for this topic. I love their games but there's so much "it just works" type stuff.

    Like in Fallout 4 you can use a critical with a Fat Man, and even if your mini-nuke clearly does not hit the target, you'll still get a hit just because you used a critical.

  • What's a good community to ask for help with a GoFundMe?
  • I would probably recommend trying Imgur. You need to link a phone number to the app when creating an account, but that actually helps cut down on bot traffic a lot, so it's pretty much all real humans who will see your posts.

    One user on Imgur that I see post often will put up a whole gallery of wholesome memes, then a random Go Fund Me link at the end just to help them get attention. I can't say how effective it is, but it sure does get visibility once it hits the front page. Maybe try something like that but with some pics and info about your kitty?

    Good luck, I hope you get the help you need!

  • I'd pick the person.
  • Paraphrased, it says: "this made me think hard because I don't like either option"

    Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.

  • Antioch and Pittsburg police officers arrested by FBI
  • Ravaging to the constitution, indeed. I've already fainted thrice just since reading the headline!

    Not 100% sure, but I think it might be an Evening Grosbeak. Photo taken in Oregon.
