  They usually get escorts, which actually isn’t the same thing as a hooker and not all of them actually do sex work. I have no idea why I know anything about that, but it was something I was just kinda aware of as a young adult.

  Honestly that just sounds like a college humor skit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your comment made me finally get around to setting up Homecoming (hooray WINE!) and I just got to the character creation screen… I haven’t played since before it went to free to play what is all of this stuff? Oh well, I’m sure I’ll feel like I’ve come home once I’m running sewers, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beauty is still out there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with your premise, but people were saying in the comments that unzipped building was either AI or photoshopped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 5 o'clock somewhere⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s a mildly clever Bloody Mary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump fires Trump⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s clearly a typo for Sow Joan’s. He’s trading turnips.

  If Ice Pick Lodge did this they’d have funding for Pathologic 4 in about two minutes.

  I feel like there’s an XKCD where either the black hat guy or cueball do basically this, but shockingly I can’t find it.

  I started using Bazzite last year and it’s fantastic, but modding seems to be a bit of a headache on it right now. I think Nexus Mod Manager is going to really help that once its got more than Stardew working though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the standard twist-erase, I bought a bunch of them in college and still use them. What’s different about the GT?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom is Jewish and I’d been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn’t done it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These kinds of verbal slip ups are universal, look how many comments and up votes this post has.

  It’s funny, just laugh about it, nobody should agonize over this funny and harmless bit of being a human.

  If this was actually a smart watch I’d seriously consider it, but it apparently doesn’t have any way of connecting to a smartphone.

  I’ve read a fan translation of the script for this one because I was really into the series as a teenager. It’s Ziggy’s backstory. Story-wise it’s very much like the rest of the series and feels like they just fleshed out notes they already made for the other games which is probably what happened.

  Well that’s funny.

  look what I found in index.html

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.”);

  Someone had to link this.

  Someone actually opened an issue on the GitHub Page for a Vance slider… I could probably make one if someone else doesn’t beat me to it. What sound clip should I use (or should I use AI and go with “I did not have sectional relations with that loveseat”)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL there's appliances to help with waffle stomping, Thanks Google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the “how to use a Belgian waffle maker” vid, I think this is a plausible hallucination - I bet the waffle was invented (or the word waffle started being used) in Belgium 200 years ago. Or maybe the Belgian waffle maker was invented 200 years ago?

  From Wikipedia:

  Florian Dacher formalized a recipe for the Brussels Waffle, the predecessor to American “Belgian” waffles, recording the recipe in 1842/43

  Maybe that? Now I want waffles.

  I loved the first season of that, did they ever release the second season and was it any good?

  LOL, as a rank and file, corporate doesn’t care. I pass along feedback, but even if they lose 1% of their business, corporate won’t stop their bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everything being sold as the R36s is able to use ArkOS (although I think there’s been progress on getting the other ones to use that OS), more deets here. Also, not every micro SD card works in that second slot, but yeah, just get a Samsung Evo Plus (I’m running dual Microcenter cards, don’t do this lol). There is a huge enthusiast community doing cool things with these devices, there’s a bit of tinkering to get them set up but it’s easy enough.

  Alpaca, got anything set up through PortMaster yet? I’ve been meaning to get Stardew Valley and Half-Life on there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I got one around Christmas on sale and I’m a big fan of mine, I’m replaying Crash Team Racing and Final Fantasy Tactics at the moment. They’ve got some quirks, there’s a lower powered variant floating around, definitely read through the subreddit and do a bit of research on the device. I will say that it’s awesome for what it is, but there’s places where it feels like a ~$30 gadget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[SATIRE] Here's an idea: "Therapeutic Kidnapping"- let me explain (text-post inside)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… this is basically real. It’s a more honest ad for those troubled teen camps, up to and including the actual kidnapping.

  Ooh, that looks amazing. Thanks! I’ve installed it, but I’ll wait to open it because I don’t have three hours for it to index my thirty terabyte meme collection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Some of y'all are overly afraid of scorpions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, at least some of them can’t kill you! My dad got stung by one once. The ER told him the local scorpions just hurt if they stung you but to come back if he had an allergic reaction.

  Someone on Lemmy is hosting a Trade Wars 2002 BBS, I think I’ve got the post saved if you’re interested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to bulk download Kindle files, while you can.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think right now all of the Kindle e-ink devices can be jailbroken to be less restrictive, so if you have sources for DRM-free ebooks (Baen and a few other publishers and sites sell them) they’re a lot easier to use on the device you already have.

  There’s actually an iPho restaurant in the Twin Cities. No clue if it’s any good, but the name is fun.
