  Surely that was precisely what Viktor Shklovsky had in mind when he coined the term ostranenie. 🤡📯🥪🤡

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This comes up a lot and I wish I could see some real life examples, because it’s not something I see a lot. So maybe it’s a cultural/perception issue.

  Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.

  lol, no.

  That correction makes you sound like a pedomorphic binoclard. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG NSFW Giveaway⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah what’s up with those lately? I’ve noticed them taking longer and longer to solve as well as being more difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was another post on Lemmy recently featuring more of this man’s deranged drivel. Turns out he’s a big fan of that word as well.

  Oh fudge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨outbreak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a reference to the Project Zomboid game.

  Hey, at least the music was good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run 1440p capped at 75fps and cannot see a noticeable improvement with higher resolutions or framerates (my hardware is capable and I’ve tried).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old Man Guide to Grooming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine, too, and when he doesn’t I ask him to do it. Literally shaves ten years off my face.

  That’s why I stopped watching him in 2017.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Waxing quite poetic at times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some reasons, not all reasons.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Our post office was closed for the entire day on Tuesday. No reasons given. Normally, about three to four people work there.

  One customer scribbled something about Deutsche Post’s disdain for its customers on the notice. But I’m afraid we are going to have to get used to this kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guys on dating sites be like:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because we get unmatched most of the time if we don’t steer the conversation this way. Then again, maybe most men who try this approach get unmatched as well; I’ve only ever tried writing friendly, interested messages.

  18 or 3, for summer and winter respectively.

  Mr. Schubert? Is this you?

  My first department head during my apprenticeship had a mug like that for his Coke Light. Takes me back a quarter of a century. Damn, I’m getting old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried Two Point Hospital? It’s the same thing, just better. Even has the insane PA announcements from Theme Hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ads are a brainwashing technique designed to turn my baser instincts against myself for someone else’s gain. And they’re unwanted content that disrupts the flow of the content I’ve chosen to watch.

  Floaters greatly lessen my enjoyment of hot tubs as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be inclined to agree with you, except that the simulation is one of the weakest parts of the second game.

  But also part one did not have the same ludicrous number of game-breaking bugs on release.

  CS2 has gotten better for sure, and will keep doing so over time, but I’ve given up on wanting to buy it because it seems fundamentally worse than its predecessor.

  If they ever add DLCs for true simulation of the economy and for showing fire, police, and ambulance crews at work as well as re-adding bicyclists I might reconsider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost Looks like a Page out of the Constitution (or pretty much Any Text from that era).

  Perhaps they’re harkening to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So true⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, Frikandel then? Sorry, I was thinking about Austria, where Bosna is a similar snack. But yeah, swamp German should have tipped me off. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So true⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bosna?
