  Maybe. I’ve never so much as looked up a guide, so I’m not familiar with the names. It was just a guess for before OP chimed in

  I’m guessing a sort of pivot where you leverage a piece’s shape to force it center-wards while it drops by turning it at the right time.

  Shame is unique to each bad boy, girl, or them. And some people relish it.

  You did nothing wrong! And you did, for better or worse. I still had fun learning about lemmy’s perception of irony. Actually, I wanted to know whether you had some specific way of filtering out AI anatomical images? My top 200 images are all AI or unrelated and it makes me sad.

  I think I’ll leave the snake jokes to you. That was really good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sad that you’re willing to be a dick to someone on the internet for a silly joke. I imagine you’re also rude irl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re clearly upset that you believed I was insulting you even after I pointed out that I wasn’t. I’m not sure what you want from this interaction, at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you legitimately not understand or are you just upset? I’m willing to explain the correlation between contraceptive use and economics, if it’s the former

  It’s a pun, you goober

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s entirely necessary when I set myself up for that punchline. Was it a bit conspicuous when I mentioned a very specific body part they lack, and then made a joke?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Access mostly relates to socioeconomic factors, but you’re largely correct. Use is notably higher in more affluent areas, but snakes are largely homeless and unsupported through reproductive legislation so that rarely matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨egg⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Uhh, they should have covered this in school even if your parents neglected to do so, but here you go.

  That’s interesting, I’m having a hard time picturing their diaphragm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Force is the last refuge of the incompetent⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, rto is mostly an assertion of control and an a chance to lay people off without legally laying them off. Your jail and execution chamber don’t have to do anything besides adhere to regulations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gachiakuta - Episode 2 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh shoot, this is one of like 10 comics I’ve read! Characters who are caricatures but still intensely human is a tough thing to pull off this well. Couple that with the anti-establishment narrative, beautiful art, and the fact that it was written by a woman and you have a fairly complete, and novel, story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My father was addicted to the “righteous” rage. Though he was mostly just addicted to being angry. Hated commercials but intentionally watched live tv to curse at the “motherfuckers stealing my time.” I’d say “rest in peace” but I think that might be antithetical to his wishes.

  Satire is dead and republicans killed it. It’s not the worst thing they’ve done, but I’m still nettled nonetheless. I appreciate you linking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s far and away their most profitable game to date, so it would make sense to get some perspective from it. Can you offer anything concrete about their other platform sales? I’m not familiar with any tools for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Subnautica 1 steam revenue breakdown offers a bit of perspective on why they might want to play pretend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitch shape attack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re asking a question without a complete answer, as it’s a complex system in active research, but truthfully, I only know of a couple offhandedly. Some strains of lactobacillus occupy space largely benignly, and some E. coli produce vitamin k. Hit up Wikipedia for an abundance of specifics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitch shape attack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some perform tasks, but they largely just take up space, and that’s a good thing. Your body’s full of materials that malignantly pathogenic bacteria would love to get their hands on. Bacteria that are largely incapable of doing anything to us take up space that would otherwise be occupied. You’d likely prefer an old squatter living in your walls, rather than a crackhead. You’d probably prefer an electrician, but that’s life. Better they’re largely benign than overtly and desperately malicious.

  You factually do have a viral balance in your internal ecosystem. Bacteriophages cull populations, and some viruses hyper-specialize in attacking cancer. There are more examples, but I can’t immediately recall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitch shape attack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Take some of those same bacteria and set them directly against the intestinal lining without any of the delicious mucus in the way and you’ll have a slightly unpleasant time. And I’m being literal. It’ll be aggravating, and deleterious to your long term health, but usually not immediately life threatening. They’re absolutely beneficial, but they’re in it for themselves. They’re not beneficent, they just are, which was all the point I intended to make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitch shape attack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard of it. Did you mean to say gigananomachines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitch shape attack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the same way that the mafia plays a crucial role in the Italian mafia government. They’re still a bunch of dicks, even if they’re working for us. Move ‘em 2 millimeters in the wrong direction and you’ll have a bad time
