What are something you immediately took for granted and were surprised about? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The additional monitor is a game changer. I feel like I don't take it for granted because of how often I see single monitor setups in the wild

What are something you immediately took for granted and were surprised about? (lemmy.ca)
 

I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.

I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn't think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.

Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really "feeling" anything.

Do people at Lush get to make their own little avatars for the products they make? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca

Maybe. I am posting this from Canada.

Here's a photo

For context there are stickers on Lush product containers that have a cartoon photo of the people who made it. I'm wondering is there one person who just makes them? Are they made using preselected features? Do employees get to design them?

No clue but I'm curious.

Found this out in the wilds of Nova Scotia. Looked like Debian in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Reminds me of the garbage can that keeps crashing at the Tim Horton's downtown

How often do you change your mobile phone plan? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] CanadianCabbage@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

If you were being overcharged for that

How often do you change your mobile phone plan? (lemmy.ca)
 

I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won't upgrade me to it until I contact them. There's also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit on one plan for an extended period of time.

Is there any real benefit to getting mentally diagnosed? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca
[–] CanadianCabbage@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago

Knowing what exactly is going is a big thing. I thought I had some form of ADD but it turns out I was just depressed and the ADD symptoms were just a side effect of it. Being diagnosed and on the correct medication was a game changer.

/sp/ user gets in a parasocial relationship (piped.video)
 

Hope this is fine to post here. Not a screenshot but it cracked me up.

The title of the video is When a Parasocial Relationship Goes Too Far but I figured this was less clickbait.

Why is mobile data in Canada so expensive? (lemmy.ca)
 

I read once that we pay the highest rates for mobile data (or at least I think I did) in the world but I don't recall reading why. Maybe it had something to do with near-monopolies or infrastructure?

Are there any changes coming that may change this?

What is the movie/tv show where they write "not for drugs" on a dollar bill before they give it to someone? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] CanadianCabbage@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

I think that might be it! I definitely saw that movie a few years ago.

Nice detective work

Fair enough. It's a bit of a weird wordy situation to explain

I vaguely recall this happening as a joke in some form of media but all I'm getting are statistics about currency being contaminated with cocaine when searching for it online.

Edit: My dad wants to buy scuba equipment but doesn't know where to buy it or what size he is for a lot of it so I was going to write "For scuba equipment not for drugs" on one of the bills as a joke for his Christmas present.
