Stanley Tweedle is a god
A warrior and a gent.
We are not fit to suck his feet
Or dine on his excrement.
At night we croon
By the light of a moon
Of his courage and his creed.
Hey ho there he goes
Oh woe for his foes
Long live the Tweedle seed.
Stanley, Stanley
Top of the hero class
Stanley, Stanley
We live to Kiss his Ass!
That’s true for the end users, plus corporate and government heads were all tech illiterate grey hairs still and didn’t yet know how to ruin this new fangled thing to further their own interests. Be it control, greed, narrative, power, etc.
This is true of reddit and how I remember it. A lot more akin to 4chan of the time than not honestly, despite redditors acting as if they were above them, but I also changed over time. A consequence of my sheltered conservative christian 90’s monoculture small prairie town upbringing, but I gradually moved more and more to the left with life experience and internet exposure. I wouldn’t say I really settled until my early 30’s. Perhaps as a Democratic Socialist, but I don’t like to really adhere to any given labels. Was atheist the whole time but that didn’t change much about my upbringing and initial views even if I was immune to the actual deity belief part of conservative religious indoctrination.
reddit became less and less welcoming of me as time went on. Eventually leading to getting banned repeatedly, especially during Trump term 1.
But to answer OP: Yeah, I don’t run into much friction here, mind you, I block the tankie triad.
Side question, if Lemmy grows do you think the same will happen here?
I don’t think it will, but no. I think more splintering into defined groups that get along would happen.
Given a third affair has just come out, I think we’ll get one a day until Christmas. Brace yourselves.
We have really good international PR and people think we’re “nice” but most of the governments in charge are conservative. People think we have universal healthcare but it’s actually two tier and up to individual provinces where conservatives are eroding public healthcare away with barely a whimper of protest from the citizens. It’s cold and dark half the year, our currency is weak, and cost of living is insane. Welcome to Canada!
Why do* you think Elon pays people to play video games for him and then pretend as if he’s not? Caught multiple times.
I keep mumbling “Shut the fuck up, Sweeney” whenever I see this fuck utter anything. It’s becoming an unconscious response.
I’m going to edit this GIF later once I’m home:
It’s my secondary browser. Pretty much just for HDR on YouTube. Firefox still can’t do it.
I don’t know if it applies here, but sometimes I get the impression people buy games in order to not recommend them, which is some insane behavior. You’ll see low hours at review time and then months later they haven’t even refunded within the allowable window.
Surely some or most people figure it out (AI slop textures in this case) too late, but it’s not all the negative reviews. Especially because this was known about ahead of time and Aspyr is infamously shit.
I wish they sold egg nog in shot glass quantities. I only ever want about that amount.
Don’t really get sick of anything recently. I keep the variety up with food. When I was young I would eat the same breakfast every morning to the point I never ate toaster waffles ever again to this day, and breakfast sausage eventually caused a nausea response just by smelling it. Up to a decade after I last ate a link at the time. I can now, but it’s unhealthy so that’s not very often. School was a long time ago for me.
That and hair styles, kinda sus.
Folding@Home for protein folding simulations to cure diseases. Probably newer examples, so I’ll say medical research and simulation, vaguely.
I’ve admittedly accelerated my competence in daily driving Linux by using LLM like a search engine. I’m struggling to come up with much else that’s positive. Even that’s kinda neutral. It’s only true because search engines got worse for a myriad of reasons.
I have a local option, a small three screen theatre with reasonablly priced snacks even. The big corps charge out the ass like that but small towns get Magic Lantern theatres, pretty sweet.
Yes, but to a lesser extent now that everyone is focused on the young kids since I’m in my 30’s. I still enjoy reunions, but I won’t go camping if there’s gonna be a group of five year olds there for example.
I don’t tell them this, just you guys :p
Yep. I don’t dream of work.
That could be true, especially since changeling Bashir is active on the station then and didn’t interfere. Also I think the 16 hour fatigue thing is unique to Odo and most skilled changelings don’t have that limitation? Or the forced form is like a cast and didn’t tire Odo out. Plus skilled can mimic internal organs and brain patterns clearly even if Odo normally couldn’t or didn’t bother.
I see Github takedowns in a similar light to Google YouTube strikes. There’s no humanity or any attempt at defending creators, just spineless or bot corporate actions. Usually bots.
A fool uses Github for spicy code now. Like a 14 year old recompiling OOT with Claude from what I hear.
Good news, everyone!
Vinesauce.
