  My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it’s all downhill from here.

  Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I’m pretty out of shape so I feel like I’m not “set up” yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I’m not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.

  It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I’m not sure about the payoff (ROI).

  Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don’t have anything to complain about, but I’m still kind of feeling like I’m about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I’m making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.

  I don’t want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don’t have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)

  Having no actual presence on social media

  I’ve got some bad news for you…

  New 3DS Plus Teams 2024 ME+ Pro U

  Wait are you joking or is this real? That is a ridiculous name/version.

  Do you have to mash it? Or will pressing it normally work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a backstory to this Costco sign. And I'd like to know what happened.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s obv not a Costco sign, there is a Tesco product in the background and Costco does not sell other companies’ house-brand stuff. Just Kirkland and name brand stuff.

  Should have*

  While I acknowledge that Ryobi is at the bottom of the barrel, my experience with them has been really good. I’ve been using the same drill/driver for 20 years, and have gotten lots of use out of their other tools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Satanic Temple condemns vandalism of its statue by Christian military veteran⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like someone let their passions get the best of them, and they got punished accordingly.

  I hope they try to open up and try to understand what the satanic temple really stands for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear power? That's just steam power with extra steps!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wind and hydro still have to spin a turbine. Solar is the one true stand out advancement in electricity production since we started using electricity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear power? That's just steam power with extra steps!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why photovoltaics need much more R&D. They are the only true advancement in electricity production since the inception of broadly adopted electrification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What??? Are you really equating any mention of the word “white” with race?

  Holy shit we deserve the impending apocalypse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it really say “allowlisted” instead of “whitelisted?” WTF?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Florida man strikes again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not how nuclear bombs work lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know who Jim Parsons is, so perhaps he’ll be a little less affected by that, but Seinfeld is a poor example because the character (and show) is literally named after the actor. Though I’ll concede your point stands for George and Kramer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy active users down, comments steady and posts up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The decline in comments is all the mods banning people for supporting Israel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Up to 6. My family of 7 had to split into two different accounts to get us all on Fi. Still, 7 people for $160 (80+80) isn’t too bad, and way better than the $300+ I was paying on Verizon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which theme song would fit this crew better?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the good shit I come here for. Oh and the sweet, sweet call to exactly my demographic. Us old-timers can revel in our wonderful 80s TV show memories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping 'nudges' are now popping up on DoorDash. If you don't leave a gratuity, you'll hear about it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t a cheap tipper before, but I’m rapidly moving in that direction as tip culture spirals out of control.

  My guilt-o-meter is getting desensitized out of necessity and soon I’ll be a cheap or non-tipper and feel no remorse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You made me proud of myself! I have left all three!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Flash (2023) VFX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I thought the movie was kind of enjoyable – definitely seen a lot worse come out this year. And DC did well with the humor aspect for once.

  But I disagree that the CGI was ok. It was really bad imo.
