- Comment on It's 2025, And We're Getting A Brand New 8-Bit Game Console 2 days ago:
I think one of the things playdate has going for them is they are portable.
- Comment on Logan Roy is objectively and factually a better father than Clark Kent 4 days ago:
You really think a lot about comic books in the shower, don’t you?
- Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people? 1 week ago:
A few words in and I could already tell who it was. I have no idea how this person is still in a field that involves people.
- Comment on Luke Cage is way to overpowerd to be a "street level" hero 2 weeks ago:
The reason he is a street level hero is because I believe he was created for that. It was important back then (and still today) to have a bulletproof black man in comics. Luke Cage was the first African American Marvel super hero to get his own comic (Black Panther being the first over black Marvel hero)
- Comment on Luke Cage is way to overpowerd to be a "street level" hero 2 weeks ago:
He’s been on the Avengers, so he must have been in instances to let loose.
- Comment on Does Ōkami get better? [Spoilers for first half of game inside] 2 weeks ago:
I also had a similar reaction. I bought it when it came out on the wii, but quickly sold it because I couldn’t get into it. I kept hearing how amazing it was over the years, so I bought it again for very cheap a couple of years ago. I finished it the second time around mostly because I had now paid twice for it. The artwork and world are amazing, but the gameplay was underwhelming for me. I do own one figure, because I like the artwork.
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, this confused me. Also wouldn’t unregulated capitalism just end with one company in the end?
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 1 month ago:
I completely forgot I purchased this game like a decade ago. I need to actually go play it.
- Comment on Video Game History Foundation Offers Retro Magazine Subscriptions 1 month ago:
Me throwing out 5 yrs of completed GamePro magazines from back in the day.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 2 months ago:
I agree tipping should go away, but I’m wondering how those economics would work out? Most food places barely break even, I can’t see anyone being able to pay their servers more, so they would still pass that onto the customers.
Add to this that people aren’t really smart. I remember some time ago, some places testing out paying their waiters, plus showing how much food would be with tax included with no surprised. People preferred paying more with tipping, the big price sticker drove business away.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 2 months ago:
- Comment on Why do people like the Punisher comics? 3 months ago:
Likely because 99% of the time he doesn’t shoot people.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 3 months ago:
That second website is horrible on a phone.
From what I’ve found, if we’re going by population, then Jacksonville, Florida seems to be the largest red city.
- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 3 months ago:
Boiled down to “Me in charge. Come in” as a response to leadership.The reality is they rented out an office to hold 200 people, laid off half of them, and then were upset the place always looked empty when they brought clients around. It went from “You all need to be in office on Wednesdays, so we look like a big company”, to wanting everyone to return.
The problem is a good majority of people had moved away during covid. Those were the first people to be laid off unless they were superstars. They had a lease agreement until 2026 and were already subletting the previous offices (They kept moving into new spaces as they grew before other leases were up) that also had long contracts. I am no longer there, but rumor is they are trying to sublet the 200 person office and find yet another small space. They are slowly turning into a real estate company.

You’re not… supposed to tell these mortals about being immortal… it’s literally in the first page of the handbook.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 3 months ago:
I was surprised it was that high. I don’t ever drink coffee, so hopefully it offsets some of the meat. We have already reduced our consumption.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 months ago:
I honestly didn’t even think about it from that point of view. That’s a really interesting perspective. I’ve known instances of Americans going overseas and realizing they are suddenly a minority. They do not like it at all.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 months ago:
That was the general consensus from what I read about using the term “minority”. As someone who has been labeled a minority their entire life, the term didn’t strike me as odd from a technical standpoint point, but I can see where it would not sit well for many people.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 months ago:
I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and gsm is apparently a common incorrect way to say it. Also a lot of LGBTQ people dislike the term.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 months ago:
I just learned about GSM two days ago here on Lemmy. Now I am learning about GRSM, and while I like both, learning that there is now an additional letter leads me to believe it may go down the same rabbit hole.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Okay, got it. Thank you for clearing that up for me. It’s very unfortunate you don’t have a safe space.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
What is the concern about hotlines? Are you worried people may be recording and using that against you somehow? What you linked to doesn’t really mention hotlines.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 5 months ago:
There is a waiting list, and not all those people have the time to wait. I’m sure insurance is also a large part.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 5 months ago:
Which is why I think people on lemmy need to get used to the fact that their data isn’t theirs to own on something that is so public facing like this. Instead we should reteach people to be conscious of what information they post. Once upon a time even A/S/L was too much info.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 5 months ago:
Which is fine, if that’s what the general consensus ends up being (I generally disagree with deleting knowledge, but that’s my own opinion and not up to me really), but then this should/will never be a place for knowledge and only just casual conversation. A lot of people on lemmy want it to replace reddit in terms of search results, but it may never be that.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 5 months ago:
Disassociating with old comments and posts would be a good way to go, but I’m not really sure that’s an option for the fediverse? In theory couldn’t someone in the future set up an instance whose sole purpose is just back up and collect data? How would someone even go about trying to erase themselves from a situation like that?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 5 months ago:
There is one worry I have about Lemmy being the knowledge of anything and it’s what happened on reddit. Many people went through and nuked their comments, essentially making many posts useless. There are already people here on lemmy that delete their profiles, comments and start over every few months. Not really sure what that means for all the federation, but I assume different instances may have different versions of deleted information in the long run?
- Comment on A 9th planet in our solar system might be found — and no, it’s not Pluto 6 months ago:
I do remember back when it was called Planet X. It had more intrigue.
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 6 months ago:
It loads for me on voyager, but is unreadable.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 6 months ago:
You must be living in the Twilight Zone at this point.
