Gonna need a source on this one, could have sworn this was debunked.

If you leave your mouth open for long enough, you break the vacuum holding the shit and piss stink in and you’ll start smelling.

I think if you examine the quality of the dialogue itself — yes it was rather boring. However, the reactive aspect was neat — a character remembering the thing you last said and using it to justify their position is good. Even if that position ends up being boring due to poor writing.

Yeah, I guess that’s true

It… also costs 100k
- Comment on RuneScape's monthly membership now costs as much as a World of Warcraft subscription as Jagex announces its second price hike in less than 2 years 5 days ago:
Right, hence my question — 65 character slots doesn’t really mean much if you’ll only ever have the time to play one.

Has WoW actually become alt friendly in the recent expansions?
- Comment on Valve say Counter-Strike 2's reloading needed "higher stakes", so you now dump all the ammo left in a clip when you reload early 5 days ago:
On one hand, I think this does raise the stakes — on the other I recognize that everyone that’s ever climbed the ladder knows that reloading unecessarily will get you killed. This, to me, seems more like a change intended for casual players who never got the lesson.

Odd, Firewatch was entirely forgettable for me — I don’t think I agree that it should have sparked a subgenre.
Should it be influential? Yes, I think they did a very good job with the dialogue. Am I surprised there aren’t ‘Firewatch-likes’? No.

Avian dinosaurs certainly existed, it isn’t inaccurate to just call them dinosaurs.
- Comment on Great Tits 5 days ago:
Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I’ve actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.
Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

Fuck, you made me laugh cough with that last bit.

I guess that’s true, I have actually mentioned it to a few of my coworkers – they all had a reaction that more or less spoke ‘there simply isn’t enough time for that’ lol.
Tangentially, there’s also this bilibili show called ling long reincarnation that, whether I’m stupid for liking it or not, is awesome. The thing about it is that I’ve always felt like there’s something lost in translation about the show, or there are themese that I’m simply unaware of due to… well an overall lack of knowledge about Chinese language and culture, I suppose.
Idk, full immersion would be best like you said — I just have no idea where I’d find that in California. I’m sure there are places, but then there’s the extra layer of somehow finding enough time to actually absorb the language through immersion. Perhaps I’ll just take up Spanish lol, I always did well in it in school and it’s close enough to English. I think it would probably be much easier to find people who speak Spanish here.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Well, to answer your primary question — many of the people on the team I work with speak… it’s either Cantonese or Mandarin, I think they told me Mandarin but I’m not entirely sure. It isn’t something that would necessarily help me on a professional level, but it would help me on a personal level with many of them.
That’s genuinely my motivation, I don’t really care about ‘seeming’ bilingual — this is mostly to bring me closer to people who have helped me at work.

We have been here for years, the NSA has been recording everything we say here in the U.S. for… a long time. I’m not actually clear on how long they’ve been doing it.
Also, I can buy a camera no wider than a penny and have it quite literally anywhere on my person without you knowing — unless nudists also have a rule where they drive to the nude beach naked, you’ve kinda been shit out of luck for a while there too.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Since Lemmy apparently has a ton of people who are bilingual — how do I as a 31 year old man that knows enough Spanish to say ‘Thank you, where is the bathroom?’ and frequently watches anime in subtitles gain another language? I’m open to all suggestions, except bad ones.

They’re right, we know exactly the kind of damage snorting powdered drugs has on your nose and heart. They were taking a calculated risk, you were just rolling the dice with your health. Owned again, liberal.

Ok, but do you have weed?
For reference, I look like John Lennon with longer hair and I definitely have weed. So the stereotype about me is 100% true.

No issue with that at all, merely sharing my perspective.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 1 week ago:
Yes, though I think of them more as the times I unknowingly supported a company that was actively contributing to the death of digital literacy in the western world.
So, tomato potato — or whatever.

Yes, but wouldn’t it become that much easier to achieve with an effectively limitless quantity of the resource?

I mean yeah, Musk is a fucking idiot that wants to retroactively prove the book he got his name from.
At least, that’s my headcanon.
- Comment on As Moon interest heats up, two companies unveil plans for a lunar "harvester" 2 weeks ago:
While I don’t like Musk, it’s actually never made sense to even attempt to go to Mars without taking advantage of the helium-3 stores on the Moon.

👍 Yes your brain is so very big Mr. math friend — I’m sure you’ve completely outclassed every person you’ve ever met in writing.
Wait, but you’re familiar enough with AI to think em dashes = bot style… Could it be that… you’re lying? Impossible.
- Comment on bold words 3 weeks ago:
An em dash signifies a longer pause — I’ll continue to use them however I see fit. It’s telling, though, that you assume an em dash means I’m using an AI to write.
- Comment on Tesla is exiting consumer space because Self-Driving has hit the same fundamental limits as LLMs 3 weeks ago:
Self driving cars has to be the most roundabout way to avoid railways that I can think of. It’s a stupid invention developed by car brained idiots whose efforts are totally outmatched by any modern train system in any developed country.
