He saw that pic of the Pope with drip and it spooked him. This is a joke but that pic actually spooked me. It was the first AI pic I saw that I thought was a real photo.

In college, we used to go to the top of parking garages to smoke weed at night. This kinda looks like a parking garage.

Agreed. During the pandemic, I adopted a policy of unsubbing to any subreddit that made me angry. Usually this came in the form of people bringing up trump/capitalism/whatever out of completely nowhere. luckily the Beehaw people seem to be pretty good about actually having conversations and not just devolving into mocking trump every second. But whenever I venture into some of the other instances, I see some of Lemmy’s true colors. Chronically online people completely out of touch with reality kinda run shit around here.

Federated alternatives are slowly building steam and people seem to have gotten pretty salty about corporate social media

I think you’re overselling the importance of this one. When I’ve talked to friends about federated alternatives, they really aren’t interested. Even if they hated Twitter/reddit and think they’ve gotten worse, they just don’t really care about a federated alternative. I’ve heard some interest in threads, so maybe we count that?

I heard the three basic rules from somewhere:

1. Always use the right tool for the job
2. A hammer is always the right tool
3. Every tool is a hammer

I’m now imagining rgb trains. Mechanical turn styles, high refresh rate info screens, giant AIO coolers.

When she finally starts to get it, that’s when Santa becomes real.

Connect also allows this

I think I’ll pick that up. When I quit playing years ago, it was because I felt like I had solved the game. Maybe my strategy wasn’t optimal but it was as good as I could get it and I was purely relying on luck to get deeper. If shattered can add more depth then I’m down.

Ok I’m sold

I played vanilla pixel dungeon years ago and recently picked it back up. What’s the difference with Shattered?

Can someone translate this to English?

A friend of mine had a very reliable car. Then he had to get new spark plugs and brake pads around the same time. He got tired of the car having “problems” so he got a…used mini cooper.

Japan is trying to change things. I think it’s just really far behind. While I was there, I remember government run/funded dating programs. The government names and shames companies that overwork their employees. But their definition of overwork is probably well beyond ours. The one-employer-for-life mentality is slowly eroding but it’s slow.

I lived and worked in Japan before returning to the US. It’s much worse in Japan. When you leave college, you’re basically employed for life by one company. Your place in society is determined by your work in that company. My company was one of the more progressive ones. Salaried personnel still had to clock in and out to prevent people from working too much overtime. People put in great effort to cheat the time clock and put in more overtime than would be acceptable. People would get to work an hour early and leave at 10pm. There was little effort to make work more efficient because the employees can just work more. The company had an employee discount deal with customer products and employees were pressured into buying their products. It’s much better in America where the common tactic is to switch jobs every few years. America has a long way to go when it comes to work, but saying it’s almost as bad as Japan is just not true.

Thunder keeps crashing for me. I switched to Connect today. We’ll see how it goes.

Mine did that one night. Sleepy fight-or-flight kicked in and I popped her on the top of the head. I felt bad about it immediately but she hasn’t done it since.
