Just never been in that kind of heat before. It was oppressively hot, breathing felt heavy, and sweat was pouring out like a dripping faucet. Interesting sensations
- Comment on 💀 💀 💀 6 hours ago:
I was in one the other day that was 118. My first time being in one so hot, and it was… surprising.

Except when q really focuses its mind and can support itself solely on its inner qi.
- Comment on Musk threatens 'immediate' legal action against Apple over alleged antitrust violations 1 day ago:
Too late , Musky. Tim Apple laid the gold tribute at the feet of the orange idol, so now he gets to do whatever he wants.

That was actually my intro to lemmy–not knowing who hexies were and arguing with them that if you want a real opinion about NK you should ask the citizens. But oh wait you can’t bc they live under a dictator who won’t allow info in and out. Of course that meant I was a shitlib who only knows western propaganda 🙄

I’ve been living in the solar system for awhile, and lemme tell you, that rating’s pretty accurate. Now if only I could find the manager to make a complaint…
- Comment on Florida sues some of the biggest porn platforms, accusing them of not complying with the state's age verification law 6 days ago:
Wait, wouldn’t it be legal for a country with legal weed to send it, just illegal go receive it in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal? Like if I lived in the Netherlands I couldn’t be arrested for mailing it to the US, but it’d get stopped at the border.
- Comment on GOG NSFW Giveaway 1 week ago:
They’re technically not anymore. They used to be good old games but when they shifted to include a large percentage of modern games they officially became just gog.
- Comment on Amazon is considering shoving ads into Alexa+ conversations 1 week ago:
Some of them are, but a few others feel like rehashing old themes without adding much. Still mostly worth watching imo

Anyone see the newest Black Mirror season?
- Comment on Octopath Traveler 0 – Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
I liked 1 enough until the first 2 chapters of all the characters were complete, but then it immediately felt like it hit a grind wall. With 8 stories it’s long enough already–why would they pad it out any further?
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 2 weeks ago:
I love how they just make things worse indiscriminately now. Like you’d expect that if a company turns evil, they make things worse for profit, but google often doesn’t even care about that and makes everything worse randomly.
The clearest example I have is the maps app, which used to let you tap once to clear the search and directions bars off the screen. They removed that in one update for absolutely no fucking reason, so now a third+ of the screen is blocked at all times. If that space displayed ads or something at least I’d get that they were making an app shittier for profit, but nowadays more often than not everything just seems to be shitty because they don’t give a fuck anymore.
- Comment on Woman says faecal transplant saved her and could help many more like her 2 weeks ago:
This is the first I’ve heard about it in relation to a mental illness though. I always thought it was only used for things you need certain bacteria to fight off that for some reason yours isn’t working for. Wikipedia lists c. diff as one of its uses.
- Comment on The story of Rogue - Spillhistorie.no (2024) 2 weeks ago:
It’s a little too dated for me. I can’t go back after playing nethack. It’s like how I can’t play wolfenstein but I play doom all the time.

!crochet@lemmy.ca isn’t very active. I haven’t made anything in awhile either or I’d post something.

What’s the indie artist market called?
- Comment on Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s 2 weeks ago:
Still a thriving market here. Some people might have to travel a bit though.

I believe that was in relation to phones–they said they never had to use T9 mode on phones that had only numbers, and went straight to qwerty phones.
- Comment on How to get a new line in a post, but not two? 2 weeks ago:
It’s effective but it’s not right. The answer is 2 (or more) spaces before the line break. A comment recommending 3 or 13 or 1000 spaces before the break will get the job done but it’s not the “actual answer”.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 3 weeks ago:
I’m kinda to the point where it feels like nothing us normies do will change anything so until billionaires are illegal it’s basically like fuck it.

Seth Meyers just had one of his podcast eps where Ike Barinholtz talked about getting a sunburn and trying to do a gig the same night and because he looked so rough between sets a waitress at the club suggested he use yogurt to cool down his thighs. He ended up smearing it around with his pants down when some random woman walked into his dressing room thinking it was the bathroom.
Story’s toward the end of the clip:

IIRC plastic recycling is basically bullshit (except maybe PET bottles?) but aluminum is actually effective. Makes you wonder why we don’t use more aluminum packaging in general.

Firefox has a built in translator, and there are add-ons you can install if you want a different version. Won’t work on image posts though

- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 3 weeks ago:
IIRC the actors in Matrix did ~6 months of kung fu training, and Keanu did a ton of shooting training for John wick. Of course all the movie stuff is choreographed but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing behind it in all cases.
- Comment on Personal Responsibility 3 weeks ago:
Modern educational practices have been moving toward skill-based metrics, as in “you should be able to achieve this standard” in order to pass a class (and gets scored on a rubric that reflects skills, rather than some arbitrary “minus 0.5 points for spelling”). As always however, what is best for students is often at odds with what’s achievable in the way schools are designed and funded in a society.

- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 4 weeks ago:
I’m not disagreeing with your larger point but I don’t necessarily buy the part of your explanation saying
This is easily demonstrable since “a” and “the” have the same vowel sound in fluent speech (for most dialects of English), but while we get “a cat” but “an apple”, we don’t get “the cat”, but “then apple”
because in most dialects (at least of American English) “the” before a consonant uses ə while before a vowel sound it’s ē.

libertarian house cat analogy
I searched this and found a bunch of reddit libertarians coping about how much they aren’t stupid children living off the government while hating it.

If I could go back and slap the shit out of the inventor of katakana I would. Can you imagine a French class in the US where some kid says “Joo my apple John Clod Van Dam. Joo soois Americane,” and the teacher telling them it’s perfect?
