Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was it like the first time you had to call 911?
2·1 month agoI forgot: I called two more times recently because my phone screen would not turn on, and apparently there’s a setting in LineageOS to call the emergencies if you fiddle with the buttons, so as to make the situation even worse, and then there’s a voice telling you you’re about to talk to someone and you can’t hang up! (Edit: I suppose they would call back in any case).
Happened twice before I found the setting. So yeah, I wasted their time, again.

7·1 month ago15 years ago, young student, I’m walking home around midnight. In the middle of a bridge I see a human shape jumping in the water. I’m not 100% sure. I ask a group of people further up on the bridge if they saw anything, they didn’t, but said I still should call 112.
One or two police cars came, and then one (or 2?) fire truck. Lots of people. Some went with full diving equipment in the water.
They couldn’t find anyone, said it was surprising as the water was very low. The fireman captain gave me the stinkeye.
Police had left their lightbar on and the car wouldn’t start (I think that was the reason) so I helped to push.
I had to come to the police station and tell what I saw many, many times.
Only years later did I realize I was being interrogated, to find out if my story had holes. I was quite naive (dumb works too).I wasn’t drunk, depressed, or had any kind of weird fantasies that would make me want to invent a story. It’s the only time I called the cops in my life.
All cops were friendly, even though they must’ve thought I was lying or had too much imagination.
Did someone jump? Now I think not. But at the time I really thought there was a possibility, and I wouldn’t take any chances. I just didn’t realize how many people and resources would be involved.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My GF gave me one afternoon to fix this, what do i do
15·2 months agoI was living with roommates clueless about house maintenance stuff.
So one day I explain we should purge the radiators. Did I forget to say "purge the air"? I dont know. But the bucket I told em to use to catch water spilling one roommate thought was supposed to be used to empty the radiators. I was on the computer and saw him from the corner of my eye go empty his bucket a few times before I caught on.
I’m the same. But of course I do daily the parts where the sun don’t shine.
Some people really do smell more than others, with the same washing habits.
I myself prefer a slight body odor in others, even light sweat (not stink!). Although some perfumes smell really good. But that agressive deodorant smell I hate.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a popular game series that you just can't understand the hype for?
3·5 months agoThanks, I might try that!
I generally like hybrid builds with more variety. Don’t know why I went full mage…

4·5 months agoI really tried, maybe 20-30 hours, but didn’t enjoy it much.
Playing as a spellcaster was maybe a mistake.
I recognize it’s a quality game though. I might try again with a melee character. Maybe modded?

6·5 months agoI’ve even ditched microg a few years back.
Depending on your usage it might not be an option, but for me it didn’t make any difference

27·5 months agoI want this too but I don’t get how you can call something like LineageOS dogshit.
It works perfectly.
I’m a desktop user mostly but my phone feels like the more polished experience

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?
9·6 months agoGérard Depardieu is one of the worst representatives of his own species.
He’s also one of the best actors.
I’ve always wondered about those brilliant actors being idiots and/or assholes. How can they at the same time show (what I believed to be) such deep understanding of their fellow humans? Or is it just pure mimicry, without any intelligence and empathy?

But yeah I won’t pay for any movie he’s in. I might watch them though.

- Lost in Translation
- Barry Lyndon
- Minority Report
- The Fifth Element
- Matrix



Both answers to @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca seem to imply there’s a hidden insult in their comment, but I can’t find it. I’m the dumb cookie and I don’t like that
