‘Attended functions per her job.’
Tabloid rags and their pearls.
- Comment on Has the USA turned into an oligarchy? 3 weeks ago:
Also the subesquent SpeechNow decision that pulled out the stops AND created precedent by citing Citizens United.
- Comment on Here's a hot take about Sekiro 4 weeks ago:
The parry system isn’t really the barrier I think with the controls. If anything that is the most familiar and intuitive aspect of Sekiro. It is the additonal use of the grappling hook, prosthetic tools, and to a lesser extent consumables that throw me off.
- Comment on Here's a hot take about Sekiro 4 weeks ago:
I get why people love Sekiro, though it is a game I have played off and on for years now and just never finished. By the time I get myself resituated I start to lose energy for it again.
The biggest thing for me are the controls. The time and focus on committing everything to muscle memory is the barrier to Sekiro. As the years go on I find I just plain don’t have the brainspace for such a specialized game.
- Comment on The Progressive Left's Glossary Of Terms, 2024 Edition 4 weeks ago:
The whole point of why illicit drugs are banned is because it is a turning point that should not be allowed, because it is only bad, with no trade-offs, or benefits.
Please tell me you’re British. The irony would be so wonderful if you were British.

It’s ZeroHedge who unironically uses the pen name ‘Tyler Durden’. Fragile doean’t even come close.
- Comment on Know Nut November 2 months ago:
I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, “Harlan Pepper, if you don’t stop naming nuts,” and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that’s what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she’d just start yelling. I’d say, “Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut.” That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She’d say, “Would you stop naming nuts!” And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn’t talk, but he’d go “rrrawr rrawr” and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it’s also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.

The right wing is certainly energized.
- Comment on Monkey business 2 months ago:
It probably involved Tarzan, thus involving a human.
- Comment on Sympathy for their PTSD 3 months ago:
Precisely: this is the story CNN and the IDF want you to see. No matter the CNN reader’s reaction, the policy will not change.
So they do the thing because it is a demonstration that they can do the thing without repercussions. Bullingdon Club type mentality.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 3 months ago:
some of us would rather only see the half of the conversation
Well I guess the only thing I could possibly say to that woul–
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 3 months ago:
No, but I can almost always check the modlog when a user complains about how their thoughtful, insightful, accurate, and reasonable post or comment was arbitrarily, capriciously, and unjustly removed.
And that comparison rarely disappoints.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 3 months ago:
I see more content complaining about .ml than I see content on .ml worth complaining about.
I generally don’t block instances, communities, or users, either. I just know I am capable of recognizing a shit take on politics anywhere and can move on without existential or social crisis.

Kwarazm Iran got a lil desertified, but that’s what you get for killing mongol envoys.

Honestly this past week or so has been some of the most normal weather for us.

- Comment on MBFC Credibility - High 5 months ago:
Is a ‘massive strike’ bigger or smaller than a ‘large-scale attack’?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
I think it depends on your definition of ‘okay thing to do.’ If you’ve never used it and only became aware of it once it failed: it has been functionally a fancy cap with extra parts. You can probably cap it without consequence.

- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 5 months ago:
The fact they used Navi to do the targeting really demonstrates how the devs felt they needed to explain the new mechanic and not just use it ‘because game.’

Luke went full Zoroastrian.
- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 5 months ago:
For 2024: 1994 with Final Fantasy 3(6j) back in Feb.
Currently 1997 with Final Fantasy Tactics since I heard the remaster rumor.
Seems like I’ve been on a FF kick.
- Comment on My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence? 5 months ago:
As actual living memory fades away it almost seems like a natural inevitability. It is already as mythologicial to many as World War 1 cavalry.

There are some roundabouts by where I live with just a paved circle in the center. So many people do just this.

The Zootopia fanbase is wild. It has some range: from femboy Nick followings to the “Your Premediated Sin” camp.

- Comment on The US Supreme Court Kneecapped US Cyber Strategy 6 months ago:
I remember when spaceforce was announced one of my friends still in the military kept banging his head since he felt a cybersecurity branch of military was more warranted.
Now Chuck Grassley has a more of a say than before. Oof.
