that's really cool. the one with inara in the center I think might be my favorite

I don't think I'm interested in that, thank you though

they're not from the same library, but my own Library doesn't have the button either, only on the desktop site.

yeah, lifetime. hence the other screenshot showing the download button working in a different scenario

the person I'm trying to download from might not have it though.

dude, go back to reddit. you can assume people are fucking morons over there to your heart's content and you will probably always be right.

I had tried getting my way through that seven times before making this post before finally realizing that it wasn't actually telling me how to make a backup up top, it was only telling me how to transfer phones. there is no indication that all the instructions up top were not about how to make a backup, I just kept following them and wondering, when does my backup show up? because the sub-header says that it's instructions on how to "Use a backup to move your local Signal data to a new Android phone", implying that at some point along the way here, we will be making a backup, and then I can just not follow any more steps and I have my backup. so I tried searching for the word backup, and it had 67 hits on the page, of which it appears 18 are used correctly. every other time it's used, the word "transfer" should be in its place.

this isn't reddit. when somebody asks a question, assume they've done the most basic of googling at the very least, because your comment helped 0%.

 

I know that if I go to my own library on desktop, I can download actual files and move them around and do whatever I want with them, I thought maybe that was why I couldn't find the download to watch later option, so I went to a shared library, and the option isn't there either. you can see where the option exists on mobile

oh, I wasn't trying to be dickish about it, but I was pointing out that fighting a Canada goose is much different than fighting a pelican. a pelican, there seem to be multiple ways to hold it off without really hurting it, with a goose, the way they attack you can really only go for the head or neck which probably means you're going to kill it.

I was very high at the time so the rest is pretty much rambling.

I'm suggesting that you try contributing to a community before being an asshole in it. the first rule that will help you there is reading the name of a community before being a dickwad.

I'm scared of needlessly hurting animals. I couldn't have made that more plain. this isn't reddit, you don't just wade in insulting people over things you have no understanding of.

society as a whole has agreed that "yo momma" jokes are not actually about the other party's mother. people like you who break that convention gets this

then why do they keep trying to eat things that are bigger than them

 

solved: Settings >> Chats >> Chat backups >> Create backup

all the instructions I can find for creating a backup are instructions for transferring my account to another phone, which is not what I'm trying to do. I just want a nice little zip file or something that I can save on some third party storage device.

they couldn't be naturally offended by bananas, as what we recognize as a banana is completely man-made. they must be unnaturally offended by it, or we bred the banana in such a way that it looks exactly like something that used to be offended by

probably pelican dildos.

 

DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.

there's a brown pelican that hangs out on the railing of a very narrow portion of a boardwalk nearby. the only reason it makes me nervous is because it's huge, but their nails look short, and their beaks are pointed, but curved downwards so they would have to try to bite me with that long thing instead of pecking me.

like, if a bird capable of clawing or eating my eyes out attacked my face, I'd honestly have no qualms about killing it immediately. but if I ever get attacked by a pelican, it looks like I could just kind of hold it off without having to hurt it. am I right in that?

 

the native Android stopwatch widget is 3x2, and even resizing it on a third party launcher, it takes up way more space than it should.

the best I can seem to find out there is 2x2. I figure a 2x1 or even a 1x1 should be easily feasible. I don't give a damn what the rest of the app does (other than showing me ads, of course, or charging me a monthly fee)

 

according to Urban Dictionary, it's either a hand job through clothing, or another term for 69ing. I don't understand why either of those would be called an "over under"

 

I've had hemorrhoids for like 25 years, so I've always been very discerning about my toilet paper.

this entire time, I've been using whatever toilet paper I have found to be the softest as facial tissue, to blow my nose, as well. my reasoning being, if this stuff is gentle enough for my hemorrhoids, of course it's going to be gentle enough for repeated use on my upper lip.

then, a friend turns me on to one of those new "with lotion" facial tissues (my bathroom tissue always has aloe in it) and wouldn't you know it, my upper lip finds it to be softer than the toilet paper. but, when I try using it as toilet paper, my anus doesn't find it to be less irritating than the toilet paper.

why do my butthole and my upper lip think that different things are softer? is it just chemistry?

edit - turns out rebooting it five times is what works.

when I'm using any of my Plex players, it acts like my server is turned off. when I go into settings, it says that my server is unavailable with a secure connection. I've tried restarting everything, rebooting everything, I can't watch my server.

 

once a year I email my favorite flashlight manufacturer to ask if they've finally made a flashlight that just turns on and off when you push the button, and every year they're like, "no, but thanks so much for your feedback!"

be honest, have any of you ever used the flashing feature on your flashlight? did it actually come in handy? handy enough that I have to scroll past it every single time I want to turn my flashlight on or off

 

watching Wild Green Yonder with a friend, me watching the movie on my Plex, them watching the version broken into episodes on Hulu.

i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn't notice a missing scene but i wasn't paying close attention to the Hulu version.

when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we're ⅓ through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.

 

there's like a dozen different subredd!ts but I'd prefer not to.
