- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 3 weeks ago:
I remember buying a Sony mp3 CD player with 5-second skip delay for $80.
Everyone was still using regular CD players with their 80 minutes of audio, carefully holding their precious device.
While I was living like a god, playing over twenty hours of music, dropping my player over and over, without losing a beat.

Konnichiwa bitches.

You’re never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.
Ham radios are awesome though and that’s less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.
- Comment on I feel attacked 4 weeks ago:
Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
30yo kind of have their lives together.
Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.
From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I’m 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people’s accounts.
Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn’t like you, say you sold “Fuck PayPal stickers”, they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 4 weeks ago:
The worst part, the demo was actually pretty good.
They literally could have released this game with mod support, and sold it for $20 and it would have been a fun party game.
Instead, they kept going on with BS games as a service.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
This is it.
My wife comes home and fires on all cylinders about her day. Then I share how much my one coworker sucks and what they did today.
Then we wonder about the heat death of the universe.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
Do you… Like stuff?

As if he came from the Nazi-verse whoever everyone is a Nazi and was like, “Oh boy let’s check out this punk show”.
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 weeks ago:
I always wondered about this. Like what if it’s just one person, who is extremely prolific?
And now you might say, “There’s a dozen accounts.”
Well what if they are extremely prolific and made multiple accounts?
- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 4 weeks ago:
brand new X-wing or lightsaber or landspeeder isn’t all that different from one that was built 50 or even 100s of years ago.
If you want to get extremely weird… The Old Republic takes place 3600 years before the original trilogy.
Tech is mostly the same.
Compared to 3600 years in reality, we went from pooping in a hole to pooping into a magic toilet that sings you songs while spraying you with water.
- Comment on 7 for me 5 weeks ago:
I’m not a woman.
My wife has taught me how much leakage there can be, depending on the time/month.
It’s why I we have those water proof mattress covers. For ALL of our mattresses, including our kids.

For a moment, I thought those were jeans. And nice, always ready to go.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 month ago:
Cherry pick and move the goal post.
For example:
University-level essays? You know for-profit universities exist, right? If you don’t have a masters degree on the subject, then you have no right to speak on the topic.

No they meant Lettice.
- Comment on Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have? 1 month ago:
I was in a teacher conference and some parents were flipping out that she wasn’t providing after school support to their dipshit child. She pointed out she makes 41k.
That’s $20.50 an hour. She could work at Costco for $30 an hour.

Obra Dinn’s filter hurt my eyes. A lot of these filters do and glad many are toggles in the options.
- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 1 month ago:
The more I think about it, maybe it’s for the whales of PC gaming.
Let the streamers, YouTubers and FOMO folks pay a premium to do all the bug testing.
Then release a polished version for half the price.
A person like me with a massive backlog is absolutely going to wait until this hits less than $20 anyways.
- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 1 month ago:
I bought Borderlands for like $30.
I bought BL2 for $20.
I got BL3 for free. (Which in kinda glad. The story was so ass.)
Then I got Tiny Tina’s for like $5 from a bundle.
Borderlands series hasn’t earned the $80 price tag.

It was around that time when we started making people visit the same 5-10 sites. Facebook virus indeed.
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 1 month ago:
We have Grayhound going hard on how ICE needs a warrant. Whole airlines are just giving out personal data away.
God, we have to make more modes of transportation great again because fucking airlines are so bad.

Sorry, can’t hear you over my massive dong.

many anthropologists and archeologists were embarrassed because skeletal remains were missexed.
I mean I get it. Impossible to tell without skeletal boobs.

How much damage can a human take though?
Based on these stats, going to guess 10-15HP, tops.
- Comment on Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency 1 month ago:
Oh, the dream of earning crypto while I chat with AI chatbots to maybe one day buy NFTs.
- Comment on Has Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Same. But not like anything popular/visible.
I found it while sorting by controversial. Then when I got banned for some BS, decided to finally figure this whole “Lemmy” thing out.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 month ago:
I still have the fond memory of the Ecco the Dolphin being called like game of the year by many magazines. So I begged my uncle to rented it from Blockbuster. First few days, I struggled. Then I asked to extend the rental. After a week, I gave up. Game was bs. I played Nintendo hard games.
A decade ago, I decided to read about Ecco and yeah, fuck that game.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 month ago:
This needs to be more highlighted than just donations.
Not trying to call out politics. But I rather find a way to contribute open source than watch my money keep the lights on very specific servers.
