- Comment on Political discourse 16 hours ago:
It is clever, you see, that any disagreement must be done online, therefore reinforcing the premise of the meme.
- Comment on Oh Jesus he is cooked 1 day ago:
The extensive attention to curation, editing, and deleting was the whole point of the manufactured reality being pushed.
- Comment on Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate? 5 days ago:
The people asking questions are often fans lobbing questions they know fit the narrative. Like the tiktoker who streamed immediately and apparently stole merch from the booth: they were a fan and in line.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 6 days ago:
I agree with most of the comments in this thread, and I’ll add: there is zero need to purchase Windows 11.

A weeks old account with a slew of zionism posts having that take about .ml is unsurprising is all.
- Comment on The other one is "who deserves food" and you fail if you dont click all the boxes 1 week ago:
Your brain on zionism.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
Although DS2 gave us a reprieve with despawning enemies eventually, making runbacks feel rather poignant when you’re walking an empty world.

When you want/need 100 blueberries to pass through your system as fast as possible I guess.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Banks do leverage mortgage debt. Essentially the same process, in turn.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Banks typically ask for you to have cash in hand (deposited), or equivalent leverage, to qualify for loans in the first place.
The bank I used actively tried to get me to go with less down payment, and subsequently take out a larger loan.
But yes it is the height of idiocy to say, ‘down payment deposit’ when ‘qualifying assets’ is a more accurate term for the transactions function.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
They don’t actually need regular payments for 10-30 years. They need you deposit that down payment cash ASAP so they can lease it to billionaires and crypto exchanges.
- Comment on If only some of our tax money went to firefighting 1 week ago:
ICE hit fire crews on the western side at Cushman, so the burning is the point, I guess.
- Comment on Anime with a high death count that's actually good? 1 week ago:
Texhnolyze might or might not qualify (high body count, IIRC yes, but maybe too odd to be considered good)
I don’t know why I enjoyed Texhnolyze so much, but its oddity was a part of it. I barely remember it but the moustache guy I remember being a great character.
- Comment on It's a whole genre! 1 week ago:
Were, I think.
And for Sandler it’s pretty much just Drew Barrymore, again. Three is a lot.

Don’t even need a list.

They missed the signal.
- Comment on Day 394 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Well my backlog is over five years old, so these spoilers right out the gate I guess lightened the list for me a bit.
RIP TLOU.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 4 weeks ago:
I have two. One, in my office where I work. It rarely, if ever, moves. Mostly it lifts for cleaning.
The other is in the living room. It is always on max height because I have small kids so it stays on ‘out of reach mode’ any time I am not in my chair.
Out of reach mode has paid for itself many times over compared to whatever I get out of standing.
- Comment on Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed? 5 weeks ago:
Certainly mixes things up compared to Local.
- Comment on I hope you like TICKS 5 weeks ago:
Nope! Had to look that up. The post10 person appears to do work associated more with public works. Similar though. I was monitoring water quality for fisheries and aquaculture. Public health vs public works.
- Comment on Caption this. 5 weeks ago:
AHhhHhh.
- Comment on I hope you like TICKS 5 weeks ago:
For a good couple years I got to walk along beaches and take water samples of every culvert, pipe, and natural drainage I came across within specific zones. There were some logs and sticks to climb over, but also deer, elk, eagle, seals, and orca. Also birds if I knew or cared about birds.
It really felt like a nice blend of all of these, quite frankly, and had it not been grant work I’d have kept on doing it most likely.

“Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so,"
Well now how did you make that request?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Well, if the user that started that community is an alt of who I think it is, that… that would track.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
What I find interesting here is that this all self identification and self reporting.
There’s no mechanism in Lemmy to force a user into such identification, so it is all voluntary.
- Comment on Idibiks Oiho 1 month ago:
Reading ‘Idibiks’ slammed my brain into a PTKFGS wormhole all of a sudden.
- Comment on Replacing Wooden Edges 1 month ago:
Quarry spalls are much more irregular than bricks, so it’d be a much rougher edge. Sounds like the edgers are the desired product, so by all means that’s what mattera.
For the concrete edgers I’d just lay an inch or two of sand and tamp it down firm. A tamped sand foundation is much easier to set and keep level than your average soils, and better for drainage and seasonal shifts (freezing). You’ll be having to keep 80 concrete edgers straight and even instead of maybe 10 wood boards.
- Comment on I have started a magic-only challenge in Dark Souls 1 1 month ago:
Oh absolutely. FromSoft looks at what players do and then troll that directly in the DLC.
Trying to remember… Artorias just required not being greedy and just casting after his full spin move. I seem to recall it to be a matter of spacing, similar to Bell Bearing Hunter in Elden Ring, you can get him to predictably chain the same punishable moves. Or like DS3’s Gundyr or Pontiff for parry strats.
DS2 at least eventually despawns if you’re not in the champion covenent. And hexes are really powerful. (DS2 Brume Tower DLC crown replenishes spell uses over time, so you can Dark Fog the world if you can clear that one.)
- Comment on Replacing Wooden Edges 1 month ago:
There shouldn’t be much to be done other than setting in the edgers in the space left from removing the wood, although honestly I think it looks fine as-is. But I am biased towards wood and stone over concrete.
On that note, the $3+ dollars per edger is painful to see. That adds up quick. Might I suggest something like quarry spalls as an alternative option? I don’t know if the idea would suit your tastes but if you have a large area to cover it might suit your budget. But like I said: biased.
- Comment on I have started a magic-only challenge in Dark Souls 1 1 month ago:
hopefully even in the DLC (but that one will be tough…)
If you mean Kalameet, I think it can actually be killed without Gough using magic. You just have to have good timing and great magic sheild, and snipe each flyby.
I remember Sanctuary Guardian being more tough than Artorias and Manus for my sorcery only run like… six years ago.
Nonetheless, good luck! Challenge runs are fun. I’ve only just started replaying Remaster since I’d only ever had PTDE.
