Dailies, and other similar grinds, are one of the worst crimes against humanity in mmos. Surely we can move beyond the ‘take twenty hours to level up your character so you can progress’ idea that crystallized in jrpgs and now sits in the center of the late game experience like a giant aragog sucking your enjoyment. Let me just log in and raid, gorramit!

Okay, look, I loved my grandparents, but spending time with them at the end was horrifying and I really would have watched paint dry in preference.
Kids, dogs, and partner could also have some time off my hands by taking care of certain limited tasks. Cooking, cleaning, wiping ass… Don’t tell me you want to cook every breakfast, lunch, and dinner compared to playing a board game with the dog while the android dices your onions and peppers and the partner and kids take a nap on the ceiling.
- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 4 days ago:
I’m halfway with you, and halfway just considering that people think it’s relevant to include a tl;dr in a barely three paragraph comment. The feeling with tl;dr for me is a summary similar to a closing paragraph, and if anyone thinks that one sentence (“Ai coding can help a lot in accelerating software development.”) is somehow worthy of being summarized as if the point was proven (“Ai can be very powerful in the right hands”)… well, it sounds like shit because it is shit. Maybe it’s ai, maybe it’s just a really rushed dude making a throwaway comment in the fediverse, and maybe it’s just a person who is confident enough in their mind that they forget they haven’t made an actually decent argument outside of their past, and concluding as if they brought that past argument forth here is eye-raising.
Considering he’s on his own instance… I’m going to bet the context is somewhere between throwaway comment and invoking past assertions without citing them.

What kind of engineer? Because while the physical world, with all of its mechanical and civil and aerospace engineers, has its shit figured out with professional standards and very clearly defined responsibilities and duties, the world of social engineers, tire engineers, procurement engineers, supply chain engineers, sandwich engineers, project engineers, lead engineers, and yes, software engineers, definitely is a little too loose with any definition for me to care that these ceos were once ‘engineers.’

Nah, mickey’s old hornypostings were characterized by him wanting to make up a story about something. It’s too bad we lost nsfw, it was a good archive of the idiocy. Poorly written, rambling sex stories in reply to a poorly written, 12 year old’s question about sex.

Yes.
- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 1 week ago:
To comment on what you said, how is it people can argue all day long like morons and dig into their beliefs, but somehow AI manages to change peoples minds and get them to think differently? What exactly is it doing?
Acting like a servant, confidante, therapist/authority figure, and your best friend, while appearing to be competent and knowledgeable about everything that passes through your mind. And it does it in a way that no human could mimic, because it doesn’t have it’s own thoughts, doesn’t get tired, and is never gone when you come looking for it.
A chatbot can agree with you a hundred times over and simply move you along one step at a time in those hundred times. A human would lose their shit and walk away groaning the moment you try to tell them that the sky is actually down, and the ground ‘up,’ and it’s all just a matter of perspective.
- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 1 week ago:
Positive affirmations are very much embedded in the core of a person’s psyche. Chatbots are nearly obsequious in how much they will fawn over the user.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 week ago:
I found an industrial sized box of them, and snapped them up. I’ve been doling them out to some poor ozzies stuck in my neck of the woods for months now. I think the end price was about two dollars a box.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 week ago:
I typically like my food desserts, compared to my just desserts. What is your issue with food desserts? Key lime pies not for you? Tres leches cakes send you into a spiral? Do peach cobblers drive you wild? Is a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles worse than jezebel outside your window?
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 week ago:
I can tell you from personal experience that there exists a very happy corporate servant who is happy to give footage to police. The security cameras in some stores are shit because the owner is cheap (this is the case with most gas stations).

Wait… is the 6/7 the rabbit turds look, or the spray of brown tinted water? I never remember which type is high and which type low.
- Comment on Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet. 1 week ago:
I’d be curious about that. I’m definitely a 2-4 person, but I generally fill up the toilet when I go. Well, sort of, because of that whole siphoning level thing.

It’s extremely prevalent here on Lemmy/Piefed as well. Actual discussion between opposing viewpoints is rare, and usually cut short by lemmy.ml and lemmy.world and rarely lemmy.blahaj.zone mods.
Fixed that for ya.

- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 2 weeks ago:
I bought one. It was fine. I didn’t love the operation. It cut the whole top off from the side, rather than from the top in a downwards cut. The sharp edges were on the can rather than on the lid. It would catch the paper labels and sometimes wad them up into the can while you cut. Cans with no air space would leak when opened.
That sounds like a really shitty one, actually. The can openers that operate on the side of the can should uncrimp the top, not actually cut into the can.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 2 weeks ago:
Walmart didn’t even touch amazon on this. There were articles for years about how mind boggling (and the articles were praising, not even critical of) it was that amazon’s investors were content to let bezos run amazon on a net zero or even negative profit model. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of walmart not pulling a profit.

Valve’s not a good guy, but your attempt to “reframe the perspective” is lacking a major detail. If amazon were to simply GIVE you the product after you’ve paid the competitor then it’s quite a different story… yet that’s what steam will do.

but you’re right. My shirts that have the tag printed on are nearly impossible to put on without at least one ‘oops it’s backwards’ event a week.
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 2 weeks ago:
No, not chest compressions, though that IS what you go to if they don’t stop choking, and then become unconscious (because not breathing is a direct path to not beating). Again, I’ll refer to the wikipedia article someone else has posted in these comments, but chest ‘thrusts’ are similar to the abdominal thrust, but your hands are placed higher, around the rib cage rather than just under it as with the heimlich/abdominal.
- Comment on You ever wake up and question, "am i the bad guy"? 2 weeks ago:
I answered that question with a yes a few times, and eventually quit my job over it. Much happier now. Self-reflection is good and worth it.
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 2 weeks ago:
My most recent bls cpr recert talked about back blows, and said chest thrusts before abdominal thrusts.
- Comment on YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows 2 weeks ago:
You can read the wikipedia about the abdominal thrusts that another comment linked. There’s a line in there about heimlich not being ‘scientific’ in his pushing of the abdominal thrusts and denigration of back blows.
