Install Blocktube or another extension that stops videos from starting when you open the link, and read the transcript. It used to be at the top, just under the video itself, but now they’ve moved it to the bottom of the video description so you have to go through all the affiliate links just to get to the fucking transcript button.

But once you’ve found it, transcriptions are your best friend: skim it to see if there’s any real reason to watch (usually not) and enjoy that portion of your life that you just saved for things that YOU want and not what Google and that content creator want. The transcript will also tell you what portion of the video you need to watch, if actually watching it suits your needs.

I also regularly speed up videos; 1.25 is great under most circumstances, 1.5 if they’re really trying to draaaag shit out. You can always slow it down again, but it’s great for getting through the fluff if you need to hear it all (like repair videos for something you’ve never done yourself).

Maybe the building WAS meant to be a plum blossom. Maybe the architects are all dudes who never saw a feminine product in their life or had to do the emergency pad run for a woman they love.

But whoever designed these roof vents knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

There is NO plum blossom anywhere in nature that has that specific squared geometric pattern, or anything like it.

But there are quite a number of sanitary pads that do.

Maybe the roof was designed by the same person who did that memorable cover art for The Little Mermaid DVD back in the day, lol.

It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.

In the US, if you are an hourly non-exempt employee, that is overt wage theft in all 50 states. If a task is made mandatory by an employer, they must pay you for the time you spent on it.

I know this doesn’t help you now, of course, but it’s good to know in case you run into it again and feel like pushing back with a report to the Dept of Labor.

Lemmy uses Markdown to insert HTML into comments. Here’s a very complete guide, and you can search for more if you want. You can also view the source on a comment whose formatting you want to emulate to see how they did it. It’s the little paper icon, if you have it available in your client of choice.

To answer your question directly, a quote is where you start a paragraph with a > followed by a space and then the text you wish to quote: that puts the green line to the left of that paragraph alone.

If you want an unbroken line across multiple paragraphs, put the > and following space in the empty lines between as well.
