- Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this? 4 days ago:
Sounds like my wife’s mother.
She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.
You deserved better from your parents.
- Comment on Gotta Smash 4 days ago:
Do iiiiiiiiiit.
Let’s do it.
Let’s fucking do it.
I think we should do it.
- Comment on I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate 6 days ago:
Professionals have standards
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 1 week ago:
Why do you not respect boundaries?
The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”
- Comment on For fellow Lemmy users who play Project Zomboid. 2 weeks ago:
Fuck it I’m buying it now.
Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.
- Comment on For fellow Lemmy users who play Project Zomboid. 2 weeks ago:
It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.
Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.
Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.
I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.
10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 3 weeks ago:
Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 4 weeks ago:
you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build
That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?
- Comment on Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? 4 weeks ago:
regular hours.
Apologies, but as someone who has never worked in an office, “regular hours” is a meaningless phrase.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 5 weeks ago:
Hey now, that’s a misrepresentation of both the US and China.
China had way nicer locomotives in 96. It wasn’t 1896.
And in the US, that guy would have either been replaced by a machine, or replaced by someone younger who won’t be expecting the seniority and pay raises that being there for over 20 years usually gets you.
- Comment on She's a keeper 5 weeks ago:
I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.

Reminder that Janeway absolutely murdered Tuvix, but she still made the right choice.

- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 1 month ago:
I had recently read a book that had
Shit, imma need that title…
I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…
Well, shit.
If you remember, let us know! I’m a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.

Matter=energy=matter.
If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.
First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you’ve got some portable replicating.
And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that’s just laying around all over the universe.
Jaysus, Keiko, it’s like you don’t even listen to me when we’re having dinner…
back to the pattern buffer for you I guess…
- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 1 month ago:
First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there’s no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.
Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.
Honestly any version of replicators…
- Comment on He suffered so we could learn from his mistakes 1 month ago:
Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he’s ready to end it all.
I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I’m expected to show up for work the next day…

Become ungovernable.

- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 2 months ago:
Well, you’re certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!
Lol it’s not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don’t have the same appreciation for it, and that’s okay.
And yeah, it’s so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.
But much like the movie Evolution, I don’t love it because it’s groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It’s fun for me.
- Comment on Tech firms suggested placing trackers under offenders’ skin at meeting with UK justice secretary 2 months ago:
Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?
I’m sure there’s no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.
- Comment on Religion choices 2 months ago:
At least my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.
I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don’t recognize anyone, and someone thinks I’m a visitor who didn’t grow up there, I’m going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.
Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.
- Comment on addict 2 months ago:
Look, if you didn’t want people watching you, then why run lines in a public place?
And will you not also be center of attention during the performance said lines are for?
I suppose a birthday is aa good a place as any to test your public speaking…
- Comment on Hey.. 2 months ago:
And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it’s 4am so you definitely won’t be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 2 months ago:
As someone who likes to break into things (legally, with permission, blah blah blah) I can assure you that no amount of locks will keep a determined individual from something, especially if they know the schedule of the people they’re concerned about and if they have an effectively unlimited time with the thing they’re breaking into.
Locks will deter, not prevent, theft or unwanted handling. If there’s a way to access it, it is accessible to anyone with time and intent.
I like picking locks and even if I don’t have the skill for a certain lock, I’ve opened them by accident just by trying over and over. I just needed time.
A gun safe by itself is not enough.
A locked door is not enough.
I know someone who used to take the firing pins out of every firearm, which would then be in a locked box in a floor safe under his bed. Guns in a locked safe, with a locked closet and locked room door. That was when he had nieces and nephews that came over a few times a month. Once he had his kids, the guns went to storage at his dad’s house. His reasoning? He used to steal alcohol from his parents cabinet as a teen and they tried many many times to make it harder but he always managed to get to it. “I always found a way, so could my daughter”
My own firearms have cable locks through the chambers, they’re locked in a keyed safe, and the safe is in a locked closet. The only copy of the safe key that isn’t either on me or my wife is in a hollowed out 2x4 that looks like it’s part of the ceiling in my attic just in case I ever lose my key but need into it.
I don’t have kids so I’m not concerned with someone who has a lot of time on their hands, but never underestimate how determined someone can be when they’re told “you aren’t allowed in there”
Unrelated
which was in my person at all times.
Sorry the phrasing just gave me a giggle.

The moment I heard someone say “we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons” I immediately thought of the Back to the Future scene where Marty goes “Hey I’ve seen this one before!”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.
Getting defensive isn’t needed.
