“How’re you guys doing? Like mentally? Sending this many people to their deaths must have weighed on you. It’s difficult to adjudicate borders, so you place the fate of others in the hands of something separate from you. Something guiltless. At night, beside a comforting fire and lush with drinks, I imagine that you reassure one another of your innocence. ‘The traveler didn’t die because we sent them to their death, the puzzle killed them.’ That’s a hard way to live and I’m sorry that you have to live it.”
*in unison* “I’m doing alright.” A tear rolls down the cheek of the brother on the left. You’ve got him.

Having imported ladybugs into a greenhouse for the express purpose of exterminating aphids, I can tell you with certainty that they’re kinda dumb. A leaf completely coated with aphids will see 4 plucked and obliterated by mandibles, and 50 ignored, only to search for more distant prey. The buffet is right there, why are you searching for scraps beneath it? But there’s nothing quite like seeing the little shits disappear into an organic shredder, clawing desperately, fruitlessly at survival. I fucking despise aphids.

The man had firsthand experience with live women as well. Enough to question whether he contracted syphilis, in the very least.

There are diminishing returns, however, knowing that the glans/clitoris exists leaves you a world apart from someone who doesn’t. The gulf between a partner who knows how to operate the glans or clitoris and someone who doesn’t is just as vast. Taking information for granted is for sillies.
Your examples aren’t directly relevant, but graduating with a PhD usually requires 18+ years post-birth so I’m picking the one least likely to be illegal. Gimme that neurotic lay. Whisper non-Newtonian fluid dynamics softly so that only I can hear.

Come to think of it, it’s a bit surprising that a more woman-centric sect of Christianity hasn’t risen to any level of prominence in the US. I suppose it’s easier to transition into agnosticism or atheism than to form a belief system, but its absence is still surprising in the modern era. Or is it as simple as demographic shifts and the absence of power during relevant periods? Religion is gradually waning in most of the west, after all. The patriarchy potentially stole The Mome from us, and that’s kinda lame tbh.

I sincerely wonder how the proportion of good to terrible lays has changed over the years. Without having taken anatomy, I would have had an extremely rough time of it as a teen, so I imagine first times have generally improved since the 1800s. Feelings on consent and purpose have shifted massively since then as well.
Would hundo Benny care at all about the enjoyment of his partner or is he going in dry and blasting in seconds?

I just don’t think the situation in Tel Aviv is sustainable and, moreover, the lack of action on the global stage to mitigate it is troubling.

This is the overarching premise of many of the modern stories. Systemic issues cannot be solved by a barely sane, generationally wealthy MMA fighter perpetually drowning beneath waves of survivor’s guilt.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad 3 weeks ago:
In total, I expect this to cost about a minute or two of my life if they never remove the ads. This figure is fairly typical for daily windows users, of which ~400kk are on win11. Microsoft will steal ~1.5*400,000,000 minutes with these ads. Ads that nearly no one will even consider click. 600,000,000 minutes=10,000,000 hours=1140 years. Multiple lifetimes in aggregate, all to be thrown away for nothing. I’d like to send a very strongly worded knot tying tutorial to Satya Nadella and Brad Smith.

It tends not to dawdle and is open to customization. Want a map? Make it. Want a unit? Make it. If you really want to get obsessive about any aspect then the option is available. Top it off with surprisingly nice art, a good community, and a sprinkle of nostalgia and you get a spicy pizza pie.

I knew about its initial release but had no clue whether it was the same team or an offshoot so I settled for a safe 10 years.
I recommend picking it back up if you enjoyed the campaigns. It’s just recently reached a third renaissance with an abundance of new fan content. No clue why.

Dunno whether this counts (free full game, no DLC, 10+ years old) but I’m loving battle for wesnoth. Some dialogue is stunted but it’s among the best hex grid strategy games I’ve played.

Will edit it in when I find more but this is Lemmy’s markdown tutorial. It covers a few items uniqueish to lemmy, especially cool are magnet links, but I’m not sure where they keep info about other unique features. Offhandedly, the only other thing I can think of is linking to profiles with @Gullible@sh.itjust.works.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
!tankiejerk@lemmy.world is the syntax for linking to communities. I feel it’s used too rarely on Lemmy, leading everyone to avoid using the few unique features that make the lemmyverse navigable. I’d never manage to reach the communities I’m searching for if not for easy linking.

- Comment on How do I direct link to an Imgur gif/video/webm? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s very possible to embed in the body of the post but the heading is just a link. Unfortunately, Lemmy just doesn’t seem interested in fetching the giffeos to embed for the folks looking to doomscroll. I’m upset that streamable isn’t fetched either, but less so.
Editing, ignore me I am gay and/or straight.
- Comment on How do I direct link to an Imgur gif/video/webm? 4 weeks ago:
My issue is that nothing wants to play unless it’s in the body of my post, whereas I intend to offer it embedded beside the title. I found another source and created a third, but all of them are just links and nothing is fetched by Lemmy. Uploading to Lemmy also doesn’t work as Lemmy doesn’t host .mp4 videos, so I decided to convert it to a .gif to post later. I do declare, this has been a most frustrating issue.

Weeeeird, I tried .mp4 and it didn’t play. I’m not sure what I did wrong but thank you!

The studio seems pretty cool. Seems outwardly like they care more about accessibility and quality than short-term profits.

The algorithm is, after all, optimized for nothing other than advertisements/time period. So long as the algorithm believes that a video suggestion will keep you on the website for a minute more, it will suggest it. I occasionally wonder about the implications of one topic leading to another. Is WH40k suggested by demographics alone or more?
Irritation at suggestions was actually what originally led me to invidious. I just wanted to watch a speech without hitting the “____ GETS DUNKED ON LIKE A TINY LITTLE BITCH” zone. Fuck me for trying to verify information.
