“Gun4anArm” also fits, incidentally.

Naming Robo R66-Y was funny though for the scene.
“R66-Y? That’s no good for a name! How about… R66-Y!”
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 1 day ago:
There’s a high likelihood they sent themselves that message so they could screenshot it and go ‘Look what the Linux users do!’ It’s what OP appears to do, mostly given it’s what users like them often do.

Again with the word choice!

I mean in his head he started governing since the golden escalator.
Considering how the ruling parties have acted since that moment: he’d mostly be right in thinking that way.

I sometimes blast this while driving. It’s such a strangely upbeat menu theme.

His face fits like a glove. A loose, cracked, glove.

Ugh, and folinic acid is just a vitamin that can, in some cases and conditions, help with some language processing issues.
Like it can help with apraxia. It’s not a cure for autism. Or anything.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 weeks ago:
Yep. It’s the only real option in my opinion. My spouse’s student loans weren’t fixed and they’d fluctuate so much in payments and started accruing balance randomly. Our homeownership allowed us to leverage another fixed loan to pay off her variable loans. Now it’s just a steady small payment for 15 years.

That’s also looking at just pure numbers.
I was forced to move every year I was a tenant. I hated it. And the fees and expenses of moving weren’t insignificant, not to mention the time. Some places I lived I never unpacked.
But now I have kids. Things like school districts matter.
Stability matters beyond the strict dollar amount sometimes, if not most times.

I did the math. I bought in 2019 and all those costs and expenses were nothing compared to ballooning rent. My monthly housing expenses went down across the board. The equivalent cost of rent since purchasing dwarfs closing costs and even all the maintenance that’s gone into the place. Rent (in America) is calculated to cover all possible homeownership costs so I’m paying for the new fridge or hot water heater one way or another.
Plus I haven’t had to move legislative districts since.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 2 weeks ago:
Not to mention it was amid a crashout with Nintendo where Square struck a deal with Sony making the Playstation a sudden major contender.

Homeowning and paying a mortgage, especially now, is the single most important thing maintaining my quality of life.
A neighbor recently sold and it is now a rental. Paying that rent would effectively raise my housing costs about $20k a year.
It’s almost exactly the same house and lot. It’s insane.
- Comment on Political discourse 2 weeks ago:
Here I distinctly recall a user calling the execution of Julius Streicher an inhumane act and that we lost our humanity executing unrepentant Nazis.
So that’s fun.
- Comment on Political discourse 2 weeks ago:
That’s more likely to be Nationalist Bolshevism. The correct term is should be ‘NazBol’ and they’re nationalistic right wingers.
Keep in mind some users on Lemmy use the term ‘tankie’ to include anyone with opposition to capitalism and will argue to include anyone who is pro-palestinian or even anti-war ironically.
But those users just so happen to be critics of the Nuremburg Trial verdicts, so their opinions matter less than the NazBols to begin with.
- Comment on Political discourse 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.

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.

Your brain on zionism.

Although DS2 gave us a reprieve with despawning enemies eventually, making runbacks feel rather poignant when you’re walking an empty world.

Banks do leverage mortgage debt. Essentially the same process, in turn.
- Comment on A conundrum 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

ICE hit fire crews on the western side at Cushman, so the burning is the point, I guess.

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.

Were, I think.
And for Sandler it’s pretty much just Drew Barrymore, again. Three is a lot.
