Showed all of Charlie Murphy’s real hollywood stories to my s/o who had never seen them. They hold up, we were crying laughing.

Sorry it was a joke in poor taste - I was referring to consuming psychedelic mushrooms (Penis Envy being a very potent strain)

Depth psychological psychotherapy - oh you mean Penis Envy (or Golden Teacher if you lemontek)? Yeah I cried for an hour but then it was a blast.

Probably a ‘grouse.’ That way the bird lives.
- Comment on The notion that "old is bad and new is good" is a seriously damaging part of western capitalism brainwashing 6 days ago:
Totally… Apple would never make new colors on their products for that reason, noooooo. A tale as old as marketing.
- Comment on The notion that "old is bad and new is good" is a seriously damaging part of western capitalism brainwashing 6 days ago:
I think it’s a normal part of human nature that you experience all the time without corpo meddling. Have they exploited that urge for new? sure, just like they exploit every human emotion.

ooof - I jumped out of the fying pan and into the fire according to this map, whoops
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 1 week ago:
Very possible, I have not dug in on this, just a vibe.
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 1 week ago:
I’m relatively new here, the only negative thing I notice is mods/creators reposting the same stuff every ~6-24 hours to make it ‘seem’ like there is more activity, which I think backfires more than not.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 1 week ago:
When I was considering buying one I researched the health benefits and from what I could tell - there are none. Most studies/researchers seem to agree that sedentism is bad, either standing or sitting.

Hard pass on that reality. I agree with the vibe of what you are saying, just def not the truth of it.
- Comment on Self-Hosted AI Girlfriend is technically Incest. 2 weeks ago:
Looking at it as birthing your own companion, totally. But if you were birthing a companion you’d have to raise it, train it, educate it, feed it, clothe it, form a relationship with it, then convice (or manipulate it) to love you.
I see AI companions as even more pathetic (and a lot less gross), honestly. They want all the benefits of an actual human relationship without doing any of the work it demands. They want an echo machine that reaffirms they are valid and wanted, even though they are not. Everyone does not deserve to be loved. Everyone does not deserve to be wanted. These are things you earn and you will never be able to that with a corpo-trained techno-parrot.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 weeks ago:
- Ultima Online: One of the greatest lore and social experiences of my life
- Project Zomboid: Been playing for over 10yrs and still come back for a new character every few months
- FO: NV
- CIV V
- L4D2
For what has my attention currently:
- BG3: Trying my damnest for a durge run but I keep picking middle-evil responses instead of full-evil, too hard for me to be a baddie
- Comment on The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made 3 weeks ago:
Seconded. Also the neckbeards downvoting you for having a civil conversation about a game but not enjoying it are a joke.

Fair - I mean my next card will be AMD (I’ve done NVidia ever since 3dfx died) but I get what you are saying.
- Comment on Admit it. WE all do this 4 weeks ago:
IMHO rarely yes - but most often a dull, dreary bore of a conversation where I turn into homer: homer
- Comment on Admit it. WE all do this 4 weeks ago:
Fuck yeah! Be that person, hell, be a little selfish - make the fun for yourself first and foremost.
- Comment on Admit it. WE all do this 4 weeks ago:
Fight it. Don’t be lame. Don’t let the conversation turn to mush. Say something shocking, open up about an out-of-left field belief you hold. Remember what fun feels like. Discussing work is never fun.
- Comment on President Trump threatened to break up Nvidia, didn't even know what it was — 'What the hell is Nvidia? I've never heard of it before' 4 weeks ago:
I smell another “lawsuit” that is totally legit guys I swear, and NVidia just happens to settle out of court with DJT to the tune of millions even though every laywer/judge on the planet says the case is without merit. Move along, justice working as expected.
- Comment on Admit it. WE all do this 4 weeks ago:
I’m not lame so I won’t admit to anything. Anyone who asks me that (at a party) is an immediate red flag to me. “Hey we are all trying to unwind and have some fun, what could make that better? I KNOW! LET’S TALK ABOUT WORK!!!” ugh the worst people. Get me the fuck out of that party.

I want to try it out… but the smell test is off: Land on the github and it proudly proclaims the author is not doing this for money, only to help the community! Awesome right? Scroll down a little more to project history… and the first version he created and got bored with and sold. Ok… well let’s click on the website link to actually see what this looks like before cloning and installing… and the first thing I am hit with is join a premium subscription.
I’m not against making money, we all have to - but please don’t act like it’s “not about the money” and then make it about the money.

This is the way. When I had the same dream I took my RV to a remote, rural spot that was in my top 3 for purchasing land in (south of Mossyrock, WA), rented a hipcamp (airbnb for rvs) for 2 months… Views were gorgeous, land was gorgeous and plentiful, people were insanely nice… but man, driving 45 min to wally world (the closest large grocer) sucked ass. The closest gas station being a ~15min drive sucked ass. It was a real eye opener.

Dang sorry to hear that - I just followed the docker compose instructions and setup Caddy (which was also new to me) on my VPS and I was off the races, no issues yet.

KitchenOwl is my latest addition and I am getting a lot of use out of it - s/o and I use it to share a grocery shopping list, slowly starting to add my recipes to it as well. I used to use a shared google keep list but KitchenOwl works a lot better.

Yup, I like jelly more - not that I have one running over the other lol
