Also lol, Lemmy is kinda past such humor lol. Such an enemy could not present itself for decades!

Not who you responded to but had similiar moments. Path of least resistance. Some tasks lock me to all hell, so if these are put before with some consequence if I fail, rather than doing them, I start working on mitigatign the incoming consequence.

From adult life: Washing dishes is hard for me. Not washing dishes causes dirty, rotting sink. So I limited myself to one plate, one bowl etc. in an effort of limiting consequences. If I don’t manage to wash the dishes, worst case scenario I have very limited amount of stuff rotting, which is also easier to clean up when I manage to get to it.

Can see it in op example: Doing homework is almost impossible, leaving out friends sucks, limit friends to lessen the impact of not doing homework.

Most compamies in my country will also have beef with you over that and I’m european. It’s more american thing with chargebacks IIRC. Most of folk here simply contact customer service/support and talk things out, more often than not getting a refund.

Have an old plasma. Had few CRT. Live near rail lines.

CRTs died most probably due to shaking I can’t really notice. They just…stopped. Fixing them didn’t take much, but it still was bothersome. In previous home, far away from major roads or rails, CRT’s simply vibed.

New tech is more resistant to weird shit, but planned obsolescence paired with companies trying their best to keep control over the device is what breaks them.

Or you know, just defaultism. If the player is hetero, by default his character is hetero. He did not seem offended by the route it took, just embarassed (and it’s not said per se if because of gay, because of success at failing or both).

Hell, looking at the full-color-spectrum cast I am hella more prone to believing it’s mix of defaultism and simple laughing at friend stumbling xD

Living is a delicate art of balancing #YOLO and YOLO. Without any #YOLO it’s worthless. Without any YOLO it’s too short to enjoy.

Scienc.

…damn just noticed I necro’d af.

Take a correction for Lemmy being hell bent on software freedom and openess. With which I overall agree, but lemmy is not reflective of majority of users.

In Apple products it’s a feature tho. Like it’s literally why people buy into it. Why would anyone fine them for that?

Eeeh, first one may not be that removed from actual risk. If we assume 1/10 of population is perverted, then cutting out hetero folks from perving on opposite sex is cutting that 1/10 to 1/100. So the chance some perv will actually go for it is lower. And this is a bigger issue for women than men, so makes sense to be watching out for that.

In USA that is, in EU we have full size stall doors and walls :|

Funnily enough McD of all places tries to go quality route, at least where I live. Upped standards, renovated places, improved services and it…works. Their places are occupied. Like it’s still fast, quality wise it’s okay, price wise it’s okay. So they survived xD

I mean that, due to desperation, some buisnesses literally use Discord instead of Teams xD

Apparently, Discord :|

Meh, just archaic. In ye olde times it wasn’t gay to fuck, it was gay to be fucked. Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, modern times Turkey, etc.

When I was younger I always called my multiplayer guilds and factions Eye of Isis / Isis Eye. I am afraid doing that now would me considered “political” :(

For someone not in, this comments sounds like a meme xD

If I jingle my dino I can connect to what?

No way it gets through “I can’t be arsed” of normies xD

TeamSpeak 6 and Stoat? Didn’t use the second one.

My hardware (GPU) is literally too old and unsupported according to Bazzite itself xD

Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.

I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and freeze, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.

But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.

I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.

…hey, I’m a newb to Linux but I tried Mint and don’t they have like two-three app managers plus they can install .deb files? Like, .deb and .rpm are basically Linux take on .exe installers.

That comes from using Linux for, overall, a week.

Was raisied with everything - media, people, history teachers - calling them Indians and I automatically look for context each time lol. With no context, native americans are the default for me, with people of India being called simply peopple of India xD

Doesn’t help my native language has another word for people of India than Indians. xD
