No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.

That you can have real change when your country doesn’t have billions of dollars spent on oil propaganda.

Stack the apples on top of each other and cut from the top down.

But a professional photographer taking a staged picture should know how to frame the shot so that the shadows work in your favor.

There definitely is a critical mass needed for social media. Reddit hit critical mass around 2012 when digg imploded. When I joined reddit in like 2010, it felt very much like Lemmy currently does.

I think that’s a major problem with Lemmy, because it’s so disjointed it’s hard to hit the critical mass needed to keep conversations interesting and fresh.

Truly a once in a lifetime offer.

Or if the sister died.

This is why “average” is a shitty way to measure what values are likely.

If you have a thousand people who have a thousand dollars, and one person who has a billion dollars, the “average” person has a million dollars.

Enough calories to feed you for the rest of your life.

I work in an area where it’s impossible to record their behavior, and since there were so many people doing it snitching wasn’t an option. They were smart enough to only “joke” when management was within earshot and resume actual harassment when they left.

I still work with that same group, funny enough they went back to being buddy-buddy once I got vaccinated and was able to drop the mask.

I have forgiven them in the sense that I don’t think about it when I interact with them, but now I know how selfish they are and how they’d happily push me into a wood chipper if it meant they could avoid having to wear a small piece of fabric on their face.

Honestly, therapy. I basically had the same reaction when my coworkers, who i thought were pretty alright, would cough in my general direction and say survival of the fittest because I was wearing a mask during peak covid. I had a lung condition that put me at high risk, and I told them that… And that lead them to be even more hostile to me, openly saying they hoped I’d get covid and die off quickly.

I struggled with the fact that people can turn on you so fast, and that people couldn’t do the minimum effort to prevent someone they know from dying. We used to be cool, pretty often we went out to eat and hung out outside of work hours, then in the span of a couple months they were practically verbally assaulting me every day. I talked to a therapist and it really helped. I barely remember what they told me since it was years ago now, but it got me through it and I rarely think about it now.

Toasting to the new year?

The worst thing a video game can do is be boring. Buggy games can be fun as you laugh at the absurdity of the physics. That was honestly one of the reasons I stuck with fallout 3, because I loved that you could turn someone supersonic with enough landmines. Even if the game crashes and you lose progress, you can’t lose the fun you had playing the game.

I recently replayed fallout 3 after starfield failed to scratch my Bethesda itch, and I realized how much more alive the world felt (and how much less often I saw a loading screen when doing quests).

Pro tip, your hot water tap probably gets to like 120, you can mix it with cold to get 100-103 pretty easily.

Kids are going to be weird and use their imagination. They’ll pretend to be an NFL player breaking tackles as they run through a crowded school hallway. They’ll pretend to be Optimus Prime and pretend to transform into a truck. Or they’ll pretend to be iron man blasting bad guys with their lazer palms.

The issue is when your friends have aged out of that behavior and you think it’s still cool to Naruto run up to them all the time.

I used Smart Audiobook Player to listen to an audiobook recently and it worked great.

Yeah, I’d rather not if he talks like he writes. Again, I am fully on board with his message, but he writes like someone who doesn’t know how to have a conversation with another person.

This writer seems like a proper neck beard. I 100% agree with most of what they say, but this feels like it’s straight out of 4chann

Edit: I read a few other articles of his and watch a few of his videos/interviews. This article is an extreme side of him apparently. I still think he is extremely socially awkward, he can’t hold eye contact for longer than a millisecond and struggles to answer questions in less than twenty words.

I do fully agree with almost everything I’ve heard him say. I just don’t like the way he says it.

I personally think it’s that people lack the time, motivation, and/or knowledge to cook themselves. I can make a cheeseburger and fries at home for about $3-5 in about thirty minutes, including cleanup. Compared to a $15 meal, it’s roughly the equivalent of saving $20/h.

Another issue could be home size is way down. If you live alone, you can’t buy one hamburger bun, you have to buy 8. You can’t buy a quarter pound of ground beef, minimum package size is usually 1 lb. If you buy the material to cook one meal, you’re committing to cook three to seven more within the next 10 days. So you’ve signed up for leftovers or up to four hours of cooking.

Dang, 30% off four months after release?
