- Comment on It's infinitely worse to be the oldest you'll ever be than the youngest you'll ever be. 3 days ago:
I’d be pissed if the oldest I reached was 30. 100? Nah I’d be dandy.
- Comment on At least legalize all the drugs so I can numb my pain. 5 days ago:
I find it funny that a lot of cyberpunk settings have rampant (usually legal) drug use because employers want you to perform at any cost but real life is a boring dystopia that demands worker suffering.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Wow that’s awful.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Isn’t asthma medication pretty cheap and long lasting? From what little I know an inhaler can last many months. Also if they can’t afford that, surely they have state medical insurance to help with it? Just seems so scammy.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 2 weeks ago:
It’s cool you guys allow it. I find banning self-promotion is such a stupid rule for a games community. It’s cool seeing people make games, too!
- Comment on Is there really a difference between my understanding the phrase "go for a walk" and my dog understanding the phrase "go for a walk"? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s more you as a person understand that the sentence is that, a sentence. You understand how the sentence is made, why it means what it means, not just what it means.
The dog only understands the what.
Doesn’t mean you still can’t help teach dogs to communicate. Even saw a segment recently on PBS about dogs learning to use buttons that produce words and using them to make short sentences to communicate with their owners.

Wild how this is a controversial comment when Lemmy is supposedly left leaning.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Never been homeless but I’d definitely take it over slavery. It has to be better than being a flesh robot.
Not only is freedom priceless (my opinion), but I’m sure as hell not enriching someone else to my own detriment.
- Comment on In hindsight, "the Xindi attack" was a phase change into a much more hard-boiled season of Enterprise. 1 month ago:
Hell yeah don’t mess with Starfleet bro they took Florida bro it’s just not right.

Nicer than me. I’d stay away from this rat nest.

Funniest shit ever. Someone was just driving it into walls in a hallway that looked abandoned. I took control when it went idle and maneuvered to what looked to be a bathroom. Someone else turned it around and spotted a mirror at floor level.

I’d be saying the same if OP’s son was his daughter. I’d never have guessed them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Wow is this me? Same situation, but conflicted because even though I find him an awful person he’s always provided for my family and continues to let me live rent free. We probably interact once a week.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
This is always an option. You don’t have to force it. As a personal example, I love pretty much everyone in my family but I don’t share any of their interests. Just talk with your son and be supportive like how the poster says. Who knows, might find some common interest eventually.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I can see why you made this post. What a peculiar set of interests. Could probably find some crafts to do with him.
- Comment on If it would solve world hunger, what would be the largest item you could fit in your ass? 1 month ago:
Jesus, found a Black Mirror writer.
- Comment on Apps doing year wrapped gives you a hint on how are you being tracked. There is probably a legal issue there somewhere like data retention. 2 months ago:
Isn’t that just basic data they already kept track of?
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 months ago:
X4. The economy must flow.
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 2 months ago:
Gift him a Starsector code or share your own if already have one.
Gift any super moddable games he likes. If he enjoys Bethesda games on consoles, he will definitely love PC only mods. Also explain to him what Big Picture Mode on Steam is. I wish I knew it existed when I started. Get the same console experience and seamless controller integration even if the game doesn’t officially support it.

That better be a fake image otherwise you just posted a giant spoiler.
- Comment on Why do gamers encourage this kind of behavior? 3 months ago:
The hornies don’t like you singling them out, OP.
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 3 months ago:
Those old fashion logos are actually sick. Concerning that an industry that sells style would make these their logos.

Where funny.
- Comment on Study hack 5 months ago:
I was just about to do this but this professor seems like an ass so better to change class. Go fuck yourself, Cengage Mindtap.
- Comment on UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in London 5 months ago:
As stupid as it is, hoping to see the results. It does sound like a neat experiment but even if it is “successful” (my definition probably differs from their’s), a good teacher is more than just a learning tool. AI would never replace the empathy and dedication.
- Comment on A Prominent Accessibility Advocate Worked With Studios and Inspired Change. But She Never Actually Existed. 6 months ago:
Wild fucking read. Was thinking maybe his first girlfriend was using a pseudonym (Turkish-born named Susan Banks?), but conveniently no one has met all 3 of his activist girlfriends. The last bit about the guy deleting all his social media posts AND his last “girlfriend” doing the same after IGN reached out is glaringly suspicious.
- Comment on Looking for Overwatch alternatives 6 months ago:
This sounds like you want Deadlock. MOBA with third-person shooter mechanics.

Regular Word.
- Comment on Really helps with the cravings 7 months ago:
I don’t understand the attraction to Twizzlers but I will die defending those delicious cookies. Just got to find a brand that actually puts filling. Great with milk.
- Comment on What song would cause you to do this to yourself ? 7 months ago:
Rap songs where the artist just blurts out random words.
