dullbananas (Joseph Silva)@lemmy.caOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What water bottles are completely free from the problem of weird chipping/shavings of the material which could put material in the water, even when dropping it or when using Bottle Bright tablets?English5·6 days agoI’ve seen chipping on two black plastic Hydro Flask wide mouth lids, and it looks unsafe.
The last time I drank out of a reusable bottle, I felt a string-like thing on my tongue, and when I grabbed it out, it was black, and way too thick to be hair. I don’t know for sure where it came from, and I’m only 80% sure it’s a problem with the bottle or lid.
The metal version of the Hydro Flask wide mouth lid has a 1-star review about “yummy metal shavings”.

dullbananas (Joseph Silva)@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you care about up/down votes?English4·9 days agoWhen in comes to my own posts and comments, my trust in vague negative reactions is long gone.
Some things that made me more suspicious of Lemmy users:
- Most criticism of one thing was vague and often mentioned my mental health. And the only non-vague comment was targeted at the involved Catholic beliefs/values and my unusual sense of humor.
- I banned someone for 1 day for saying “So, am I right in assuming that OP has untreated schizophrenia? Wtf is this word vomit?” and someone described this as “banned a guy because he said you write poorly” which is a very weird interpretation. I obviously would not have gived a ban if the comment just said “you write poorly”.
For me, taking online feedback less seriously was a big part of growing up.

dullbananas (Joseph Silva)@lemmy.caOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When people say "just be yourself" and criticize intentions, they confuse the glass box with the personality inside, and they take their own glass's cleanliness (what makes it transparent) for grantedEnglish1·12 days agoAn example of something that makes personality less visible is social anxiety. Changing that kind of stuff doesn’t mean that one is wrongly “forcing it” or being less genuine.
Some advice mentioned in these comments are examples of criticizing the intention of finding a romantic partner (“intention” might have been too vague): https://www.reddit.com/r/CatholicDating/comments/1h0gy5r/what_is_some_advice_christian_people_swear_is/
Alternative phrasing of my observation: … they confuse personality with the box surrounding it, and they take their own box’s transparency for granted
Support for both iOS and GNU + Linux is a noteworthy convenient feature of a syncing system, but I’m more focused on what’s currently available on GNU + Linux, which probably needs to be built upon to replicate Apple’s level of quality.
