Damn, I’m def gonna start recommending smoking to any pregnant ladies i see–that’s quite a life pro tip! Go figure the AI was actually right about that lol

It’s like sushi… kinda

It does seem like it could be the name of one of the members of Shobaleader One…

Hell yeah, that was a terrific sequel!

Don’t think I ever actually found the rumored cake… 🤔

Was it worth the wait? I loved the game, and also came to the party years after its release

I mean, why wouldn’t they? They’re furries after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think there’s a couple things at play:

• You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely–

• People often will just use what’s there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns… but many people simply aren’t and/or don’t care enough to do anything about it.

We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps… I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don’t have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).

I 100% agree with your statements–just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps…

Oooh oooh do conservatism next!!! It’s gotta be something along the lines of “nothing but jacking off, usually in seclusion with other men since 1848” I’m sure you’ve got something spicier in store though

Ahhh thanks for the clarification! I should have known ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn, never seen an xkcd where they used that kind of language! 😳

Your comment does a pretty good job of illustrating the main reasons: further wealth inequality, difficult housing market, and a crazier society that’s becoming more accepting of school shootings/shootings in general…not to mention climate change, more wars, and batshit politics becoming the norm globally. How bout that response to covid? If anything had ever disgusted me about this country it’s how brazenly people were willing to risk other people’s lives because they couldn’t be bothered to even attempt to be safe or consider others safety. As if i didn’t have enough reasons not to have kids before… it seems almost cruel to bring them into today’s world.

For sure, turning a blind eye to all that and escaping into a relationship and starting a family sounds great. You need a good job to do that…or you and your partner may both need good jobs to do that. Who watches the kids then? How much time will you actually get to spend with them? Are you going to saddle your parents or in-laws with the responsibility of raising them? Day care? What point is there in having children if you’re spending most of your time away from them? Disregard all that of course, if you’re rich ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just don’t think I’m ready to spend all of my waking hours endlessly trying to produce enough income to maintain all the expenses that come with a family, while still putting aside money for the kids to go to college and a retirement fund to boot.

It would be nice to have a family, i just don’t think it’s practical anymore. I don’t believe it’s the simple choice you make it out to be (at least that’s how i interpreted the last sentence of your comment)

Sound blaster was the shit 🙌

Always wanted to try AdLib too…one of those options that a lot of games supported but i don’t think i ever knew anyone with one of those sound cards

You read my mind 👏

Good for you. Get yourself a cookie

Cool, so what’s your point? Why would they assume you’re anything but another “guy on the Internet”? For what it’s worth, i have a hard time believing you’re a medical professional too

That’s the most specific and obscure reference I’ve gotten here at Lemmy since I’ve joined, and what a good one! That track slaps, and the whole album is 😙🤌

keep on jammin 🥂

That’s gonna be the dumbest lawsuit, which means it’s very likely to come to pass

🎶 Boooot, dee-boot dee boooot, dee-boot dee booooot 🎶
