I have an older GPU (rx 470) and I play games that probably aren’t super new so my main concerns were mainly my tech literacy and fear of fucking something up xD

When I was growing up my teachers told me I had to learn good cursive because all of my collage papers would be hand written in it for context. So I know the feeling maybe lol. It’s really shocking how absolutely garbage kids are at writing now, at least where I am anyways.
- Comment on cactus 3 months ago:
noooooo lol that’s adults handwriting. Kids handwriting looks like drunken chicken scratch until they’re past 4-5th grade if they’re regularly encouraged to practice. The “neat” student handwriting I have seen is still marginally worse than this. The start/stop of the penmarks and overall uniformity is pretty telling imo.

When I first started learning my brain was desperately trying to make heads or tails of it and rationalize it somehow. And then I realized that was stupid, abandoned reason, and now I just utter these backwards ass numbers and we all nod and everyone is happy lol. Language is weird.

Didn’t she just sick her legal team on the random kid who was tracking her public flight record habits? I was under the impression it stemmed from that (highlighting her frivolous plane usage).

Seeing this episode when it came out vs in 2023 really hit different. It never dawned on me how finely honed their comedy was that season.

What witchcraft is this? Did it cost more to install? Was it custom ordered? Plz explain.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 4 months ago:
Imagine not having screens on the windows and letting every single bug in the nearby area take up residence inside and being okay with it cuz “it’s only a few months out of the year”.
🤢 it’s the fucking worst.

C. C I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I don’t watch those movies and the one I’m thinking about was from (iirc) an asian mall CCTV recording or something to that effect.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 6 months ago:
It seems nice and scratches the itch to be approximately social, but suffering through seeing the same 5 articles posted nearly back to back by bots is deeply annoying. And the lack of content when sorting by 6hrs means I inevitably have to spam block the weird porn/fetish stuff that decides to crop up in-between lol.
- Comment on Pray for their safety 6 months ago:
Well no, chainsaw is an exaggeration, I think it’s more of an extruder or meat grinder when one gets caught in it. Thaaaaat one is nsfl and will forever remain a blue link 😬
- Comment on Pray for their safety 6 months ago:
You could probs google it and find it pretty readily, something like ‘escalator failure reddit’ or that. It’s like mall footage of an escalator that has motor failure or something and because it’s… well really heavy it basically it snaps at some point and just rips down with people just falling into the pit where the inner parts stay underneath.

Or a temporary chainsaw from hell. That one clip of the one absolutely shitting the bed will haunt me.

Mm they didn’t really spin it though? It’s a flat increase to 20$ with tenure tacked on, which is case by case. The person you replied to directly quoted from the article.

- Comment on Jragon 7 months ago:
It was more like “french” how Americans think french is, sadly not actual french. It was to overemphasize the starting sound, since sometimes it’s hard to isolate sounds and move them around like that (mouth position wise) when you don’t commonly have other words that start with those sounds.
- Comment on Jragon 7 months ago:
Absolutely not. Am American, so I’m gonna go on a limb and assume most of my friends would also probably pronounce it similarly.
The way you say Jra-gon and Dra-gon is completely different in most accents on the West coast. I’m very confident in that.
I think the Midwest would probably say it pretty samsues because they’re not emphasizing the first letter: jRa-gun / dRa-gun or jra-Gn / dra-Gn. Probably gets lost in the sauce a little.
Idk about East Coast, but tbh it probably is closer to Midwesterners dropping consonants and shit so who knows.
- Comment on Jragon 7 months ago:
Pretend like you’re french: j’ragon. It’s the second G in garage or however you would say au jou sauce.

I’m just tired of it being “nudity” but it’s just really gratuitous amounts of boobs and a .00005 second snippet of blurred and backlit man ass. Boobs are good and all, but like I’m tired of it just being an excuse to have naked women thrown into scenes that just… probably don’t need to be there? Like shout-out to GOT for giving full frontal male nudity before the show went to shit.
- Comment on ‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps 8 months ago:
Ahh most of my hobbies have mostly outpriced me as well.
When I was motivated to go out and do hobby stuff, it was mostly a male dominated space so 90% of the time I just felt like a meat bag, and it really killed my desire to go out and do hobby stuff. So I ended up mostly at home.
