No Stupid Questions

Similar case in point: "bimonthly" means "twice a month." That makes sense.

But the definition for "bi-weekly" does not make sense.

What do you think?

Based on why I've heard it seems they use the word to be a synonym of the word "paradox" (?)

But according to the dictionary, inception means commencement or beginning or initiation.

What is their definition of the word "Inception" in the movie?

I prefer my smartphone because I literally don't have a desktop/laptop computer and no desire to get one Because sitting up working on a computer is bad for my posture and it hurts my back so everything I do on my "computer" Is done on my smartphone, I'm laying down with my legs propped up. It's just how I am.

so I'm currently distraught because Samsung just did a mandatory software update and they took away all the handy video editing tools they used to provide us :'(

So I absolutely need to find a video editing app now and I'd like to know If any of you have experience & leads to a best option.

I would Google "best smartphone video editing apps" but search engine results are usually biased and shilled. I prefer honest reviews from real users.

I have a friend who posts stable videos while he's walking around and I asked him how he did it because I can't find a gimbal for my phone that actually works, he said there's a stabilizer built into his phone. I'm not close enough to ask him again what kind of phone he has. Do you know?

update: So I googled it and hey my phone is on the list of Phones that have OIS (thanx @M137@lemm.ee), I have a Samsung S21 Ultra which appeared on the list of phones that offer video stabilization. So I checked my video camera settings, and video stabilization is already turned on, So if my phone has this, why are my videos always so shakey when I'm walking?

Not sure if nonverbal is the right word for it, but those ~~that~~ who think not as if they're speaking in their mind, through some other ways like imagery, feelings, or however.

Often the conscience is described as a little voice in one's mind saying what's right/wrong to do, but for those ~~that~~ who think differently, how's that experienced? Good/bad imagery or feelings instead?

It's a typical video game peasant looking npc lamenting at no on in particular that's there's a very solvible problem. Oh is only somone could solve this for them! While a very strong capible looking player character is right next to them.

I'm reading somthing about emotional blackmail. Apprently this meme describes one form of it perfectly. Though I havnt seen it in years and I can't find it via searches.

I suppose shoes are laced so as to better fit & secure them to one's feet, so why isn't similar done with gloves?

The only gloves that come to mind with lacing are maybe catcher's mitts and boxing gloves, but even those I'm not entirely certain of.

Edit:
Possibly a nvm edit, as it just struck me that you...Couldn't really tie...Glove laces...? I think? I guess it may depend...

There are plenty of politics communities, but they all seem to focus on posting and discussing articles. Is there a community for posting political ideas and opinions?

I'm trying to buy some small tools to make life easier for someone I know, but I'm probably not thinking of all the use cases

For example, one of the things I'm getting is a gas cap opener for their car

I found a few other things listed here: https://arthritis.ca/treatment/pain-management/assistive-devices-resource

This might be stupid.. but after the Ukrainian conflict, keeping the enormous loss of life in mind, and the likely need to rebuild the nation, would it be easier to obtain citizenship in Ukraine?

Or odd, or something?

I've tried searx, but even simple queries returned no results. I just want sometnig reasonably private that works and doesn't turn the Web into a shopping mall.

No big self help lemmy so I had to ask it somewhere else. Alright, I'm an university student but:

• I don't like too much noise (no parties or bars).
• I only go to university twice per week and it's far from home.
• I don't like dating apps.
• Social media imo stresses me out instead of helping me.
• Can't steal friends of friends: New city, I know no one here.
• I suck abismally at sports. Also I don't have a sporty profile.
• Board/cardgame shops usually catter to people aged 30 and over as they can actually buy the games.

I'm just, like, out of ideas where to meet people aged 16-26. My best shot so far was in public transport but I'm usually too tired to bother. Been thinking of joining a DnD table or something just to meet people already rofl.

Like, is it just total darkness or, the opposite? Is it easier for them to fall asleep given that there's no light to distract them whilst trying to nod off?

I feel like an absolute ass for asking these questions, and I'm honestly not trying to hurt anyone's feelings or anything.

I never click on them and I don’t consume any other content related to those countries but every so often I’ll see an anti (those countries) headline in my feed and then the next few days will have pro occupied China stories

It feels like targeted propaganda since I never see good stories about the other countries and it makes me wonder why YouTube hasn’t been broken up if they are too big to monitor that

Why doesn't Russia declare war on the US after all the Military Aid being sent to Ukraine?

I feel like some usb cables are great, allow my devices to charge fast, connect to data reliably, etc. But it seems so difficult to find the ones that are good! I've tried buying expensive ones but it seems pretty hit and miss. Sometimes some cheapass aliexpress cable seems to beat the "good brands".

Are there standards or anything I should look out for? USB drives, sd cards, and the like have read/write speeds or different "classes" but usb cables seem to all claim to be brilliant.

Am I just being dumb?

The little metal pegs on a snow blower or a fuse in a circuit are examples I can think of.
