WE could have done with an "other" option, I first tried Linux when my laptop failed and my friend installed Ubuntu to fucking troll me

I mean I guess that's "friends/family showed me" but a very different connotation lol

gamermanh , 3 days ago

I was about to say that was probably a joke but then I thought about the other 2 couples I've done D&D with and, yeah, no, accurate

Not everything becomes a meme by screenshoting

No, but it does when it's shared and discussed.

Memes are more than just image macros and are much older of a concept than the internet

gamermanh , 3 days ago

That's not all that makes a meme.

Wrong. Memes are informational genes, ie ideas that spread and share. A political opinion being shared is a meme.

You seem like one of those weirdos who demands we only call image macros memes, which is stupid and wrong

assumed feminism is for women

It's because of the name and history of fighting for women. The movement should have gone for "egalitarianism" if they didn't want people to think of women first/exclusively.

It's why I've vehemently rejected the label of feminist even when I'm in feminist spaces with feminist friends: I'm here for everyone, there's a word for that, use it.

gamermanh , 6 days ago

Except movements are often named after the oppressed group

That's nice, but I don't care. Doing things in a stupid way because "that's how we've always done it" is literally conservativism, which I'm not really for.

This thread originates from a comment surprised that people would look at a gendered term and assume actions done in that name are for said gender, this should be an obvious and predictable outcome, one that's been seen countless times, and has a simple and easy fix

gamermanh , 6 days ago

We are, for the most part.

I got my card and diploma thing back when one of my Black Isrealite coworkers wouldn't stop loudly telling the Christian lady in the office across from me that he's the REAL Jew and his god would kill her when time came, taped it proudly to my door and just stared at him.

HR had a "better not discuss religion" email out 2 days later but my paper stayed up.

Also, the 7 tenets (satanists version of the 10 commandments, they're on the cards):

I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Fuuuuck the best place I've ever had ramen ran exactly like that, hope they're able to update smoothly

They remembered my wife and I 1.5 years after our previous visit, the lady said "oh my, it's the tall American, welcome back!", so they earned my loyalty

Who wouldnt want to spark up at such a beautiful place, man, after all ...

Oh you meant a water source pipe and not the stealth name for a bong, gotcha

I think it's kinda embarrassing to talk about defederating them when none of us would be here without them

Yeah, embarrassing for them

People picked their fediverse option over others. Had Lemmy not been there, we'd all just be elsewhere. They got the popularity, but are clearly actually disliked by a lot of their users. They should probably self-reflect with that knowledge

gamermanh , 8 days ago

I had a different reply typed out but I've decided to change it because:

This is such a weird reply. It really feels like you're claiming that people pointing out that abusing mod powers (objectively a thing being done) are somehow in the wrong for doing so just because the people abusing the power are those who coded the site it's being done on.

The choices users have to deal with an issue like this are to block (per-user, so they have to discuss it), defederation (a big decision, so discussion), or leaving entirely (in which case theyd want others to come with, so discussion). That is unless shaming the people doing it works, but they've kinda shown they don't care as this is far from the first time this has come up.

How is it at all embarrassing for the users of a forum to discuss on said forum one of their few methods of recourse to people with power on that forum abusing it?

gamermanh , 7 days ago

This discussion isn't about pointing out mod abuse, it's about potentially defederating lemmy.ml.

Because of mod abuse. By ignoring that you're reframing the whole situation as something else.

Most users don't have any issue at all

Lol

It's a vocal minority that antagonize (either deliberately or accidentally) the lemmy.ml users and communities that have been subject to the moderator actions in question.

LOL

So your opinion is based on complete bullshit, gotcha

gamermanh , 10 days ago

Cryptobro mad that people smell their bullshit ponzi scheme = someone being oppressed by bigotry

Pathetic

gamermanh , 13 days ago

Crypto is fake because it's a Ponzi scheme, not because it's fiat currency

In order for someone to cash out and make money some new idiot has to buy in, or a bigger idiot has to buy them out

gamermanh , 13 days ago

I know you're a cryptobro crying that people can ID a scam when they see it.

Bigotry is definately not the word you're looking for

Also the pop-in is insane. Seeing Helios One load in is crazy.

Running LodGen with a Lucky 38 remaster mod has been so fucking nice the last 2 weeks.

Can see that shining beacon of beauty from basically anywhere, does wonders to the games vibe

When my promotion to assistant-to-the-VP at my old job was ripped from me AFTER my replacement was trained I was given the news in a semi exit interview:

Went in to see current boss. She informs me what happened. I tell her that I already know as the VP told me about it already (and cried, he needed the help and was now not getting it and knew I deserved the job). She says she figured as much and offers me 2 weeks of further "work" where I can come in and job hunt instead. I say no thanks, stand up, and walk out.

Called the President and scheduled a 1-to-1 meeting with him over this as I knew it was his brother whining to him about me that caused this all to happen and wanted to give him a chance to unfuck his decision. Fucker spent 20 minutes bullshitting me and was clearly squirming when I didnt budge.

I should've punched him, being the bigger man ain't always worth it.

gamermanh , 17 days ago

I feel like the question has been pretty straight forward

It was, they answered it, you're just pushing more because you don't realize you failed your gotcha.

You asked:

What do you want me to do differrently

And they answered with what they wanted you to do. What you do specifically about voting is irrelevant as that was not the topic at hand.

gamermanh , 17 days ago

We are talking about voting or not voting for Biden

No, you tried to make it about that after someone else commented without specification on that front.

And let’s even concede you don’t find the first comment adequate, the follow up comments clearly ask it over and over

Oh no, why didn't people respect the moved goalposts?

Fucking Idiot you are, bud

gamermanh , 16 days ago

The question: what do you want us to do differently?

The answer: Mass protests. Civil disobedience. The kinda of things that ended slavery and helped raise women's rights. The things we used to do instead of sitting down and just taking it.

God, that was hard

gamermanh , 17 days ago

No, but you're gonna scare away a lot of people who don't wanna bother with it

gamermanh , 16 days ago

I can whistle while either exhaling or inhaling

Idk how special or weird it is but everyone I've tried to teach the skill to seems entirely incapable of doing the inhale one

It's super useful for whistling complex songs or long bits without stopping, though

Assuming that the world continues to exist in a way that lets me have a steam account at the time of my natural lifespans average end (another... 46 years):

My steam library grows at a slower rate than my mass storage has, and I'm quite confident that one will be able to fit my entire steam library as it currently is on a normal and affordable drive in at most 15 years.

With those two facts in play I can remain confident in my ability to crack everything I own (assuming I even want everything) and safely store it for at-will passing down to as many people as I want.

But thanks for the reminder to not blindly trust you, Valve. Always useful to have those.

My wife and mys manager when we worked at the same place once told each of us separately in out reviews:

You do great, I love that you finish your work early, but the other people in the office dont like that you go home AT 5 (9 hour shift w/ 30m lunch) because they stay an extra 2-4 hours regularly.

Said it to me first, I just told her it sounds like her salary (I was hourly) employees suck at their jobs. She just kinda stares at me (this is the exact bluntness she promoted me to working with her for so...)

When she said it to my wife SHE went off on one about how she used to do those other people's jobs and that it's ridiculous that they can't do it in the same amount of time and would dare demand that she stay extra time just to appease their incompetence

She straight up admitted to us all the 40-60 year olds just didnt like that we could do our jobs and go home because we could type faster than 12 WPM

gamermanh , 22 days ago

No, they're not

gamermanh , 23 days ago

because 4runners are too expensive

Because those are the literal only two types of 4x4 in existence, right? Smaller cars don't ever have 4x4 capability

Also because it literally never stops raining it's useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

Plastic liner or bin in the trunk. Bonus that it won't keep getting more wet

I love seeing people insecure as fuck because hey actually know deep down they don't need the truck, so they come up with "reasons" they need it

gamermanh , 23 days ago

Nobody is "insecure" about owning a truck

Homie I can see you and at least one other person whining in every thread possible about how your use case is valid

They aren't worried about what some basement dweller thinks

Nice ad hominem, bud, really shows you're not defensive. How about the opinion of someone on land with livestock, yet doesn't feel the need to own a truck? Isn't that, like, the exact person you guys claim needs one so desperately after all?

gamermanh , 23 days ago

We need ground clearance too lol

And there are vehicles other than trucks or 4-runnerd that have that.

Also awd isn't 4x4

Never said AWD, I said 4x4

Also if you put wet things inside the cab

Never said put it in the cabin, I said put it in the trunk

Maybe stay in your own lane gamer dude

I'd love to, but these oversized pavement princesses are forcing me to dodge around them because they can't control a big, heavy vehicle.

gamermanh , 23 days ago

Prolly cuz I'm not stupid enough to drive my car off-road if it ain't capable of handling the terrain.

I have taken appropriately lifted vehicles off-road many times, though, and many of them weren't big ass lifted trucks because that's rarely what's actually needed. Oh, and even if you do need said lift, a truck ain't even the best vehicle for that purpose.

But go on, keep pretending the .01% of truck owners actually travelling through 4ft of mud to get to and from their farm are the normal use case for trucks.

gamermanh , 23 days ago

Which small vehicles

Before you play the goalposts game: I said smaller, not small, though some listed would probably count as small:

New vehicles

And since price was the initial complaint: [used](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=used+small+4x4, though if that gives you too many trucks

You'll notice almost immediately that there are many 4x4 vehicles with ground clearance that aren't also gigantic trucks that will go unused for their main intended purpose.

gamermanh , 23 days ago

Why are you so condescending, especially considering you have zero knowledge on this topic

The projection is cute

gamermanh , 24 days ago

Also people tend to leave their grinders dirty for like, way too fucking Long and let the keif build up on the actual screen and window/middle bits where the weed actually sits, so rinsing ANY part of it is a waste.

My mother has brought over her grinder and it's so fucked I can barely unscrew it, have to spend 10 minutes scraping that golden beauty off the sides of her grinder (end up with $40 worth at a dispensary lol) before I can alcohol bathe it

Also if you rinse your grinder with water your going to end up so sticky lol

gamermanh , 24 days ago

You can, but kosher salt and 91% isopropyl + a Ziploc bag does better for cheaper

The only time I've used the fancy shit (my personal preference is kryptonite cuz it's set and forget) on my grinder was when it was megafucked after my mom had it a while.

She couldn't use it anymore cuz she has arthritis and it had funked up. I don't have arthritis and I couldn't move it holy shit

I just went looking back at the reviews for this building and I found out that Google removed the only small power the public has against fake reviews

Reporting is still an option, and it works. Literally just 3 days ago reported some inaccurate reviews at a place near where I work and I got the email last night they'd taken action, they're gone now

gamermanh , 24 days ago

Multiple 1 star reviews for a nearby business that complain it doesn't do something that it doesn't claim to do (bulk fuel delivery place people are complaining it's not a gas station even though it doesn't come up as one) was the most recent one I did.

I also got one removed last year because someone gave a 1-star review whining about a fee that you weren't warned about if you were late, I sent in a picture of the big ass sign about it that's been there for years

gamermanh , 26 days ago

But with government I don't have a say. If I don't pay taxes I go to jail and if I don't like how my taxes are spent then too bad. There is no alternative.

It's called voting, really basic part of our world you seem to have forgotten about.

This idealized version of universal healthcare isn't possible because it'll require more resources than we have as a species

No, it won't.

There's always more that you can do to improve health outcomes

That's not what Universal Healthcare is.
