I found that odd for a Lemmy post but also, one year milk is in much worse condition than this image. Unless they froze it for clout? Why go through the trouble?

But that just makes me wonder even more why that is blocked out, lol.

Maybe not the worst, but I’ve been playing old RPGs and I really hate mandatory loss fights in late game or NG+. Radiata Stories was a fantastic game but I was bonkers powerful on my second playthrough yet somehow lost a fight to a humongous chud asshole for plot reasons. Rare misstep in that games story, honestly.

Best example of subversion of that trope, though,b was in Dragon Quest 11. If you know, you know, but I won’t spoil that, lol.

Wow that’s on my backlog list but seriously, it forces a reload either way, at least make it a splashy permadeath.

And they move very, very slowly…

Hey hey, me too. I mostly just don’t want too many “redo this whole game again” stuff, unless there’s a reason (split path, etc). A stress filled second run is not a good reason.

Also a way more appropriate time for a traditional bachelor party.

Dailies in games suck but imagine if you had a boss give you a free ticket to a gacha every day for completing your reports and junk. A literal 99 cent value sexy waifu toy.

Like ok that’s slightly better than an occasional pizza party but still insulting, lol

Literally right now, my daughter and I split an ice cream cookie sandwich after a long day of cleaning. It’s the simple things.

Hmm… maybe. The state of the world has been pretty awful for the past year so I imagine that plays a part. Aside from trolls, lots of us are on edge as the whole world seems to tilt right with propaganda and AI.

That said, I like us.

I browse bluesky too and find I actually prefer Lemmy because it’s a bit more self-policing… Like regarding AI slop, bluesky is fucking rampant with it, like Trump dressed as a clown or Newsom with abs, it’s fucking awful. Lemmy has a couple communities for AI but on average, you try that shit and you’ll get publicly shamed. That could be considered mean, but I appreciate it (especially if it’s AI I can’t even tell).

Good examples from others but I also want to bring up microaggressions. Basically, small things that add up, like a white woman gripping her bag tightly when a black man enters an elevator, or a white man crossing the street because a Latino guy is approaching who looks a little “gangy.” Usually they aren’t that progressive (e.g. they support diversity but critical race theory is a bridge too far).

That said, prejudice is something we all have and is part of human nature. It protects us historically from things like snakes and spiders who may not be venomous but on the off chance they are, better safe than sorry. Prejudice leads to stereotypes, stereotypes lead to discrimination. Conscious effort is needed to overcome that, and progressives do that better than not but no one is fully immune to your natural instincts.

I agree, although I never quite know how to toast them without waiting to thaw. That, and I get the kind that aren’t precut so I imagine I need to thaw before cut, or cut before freeze, etc.

My wife still tries to if I let her put away groceries, and admittedly they to get moldy fast sometimes. Heating them does undo some of the staleness, though I’d prefer to just eat them all asap after purchase.

Ah our 3yo did that for a while a year ago, it’s very upsetting. At least yours snaps out of it quickly, ours would go for a half hour but I managed to calm her with numbers. We would count upwards as high as we could switching places and she’d calm down. Side effect, she can count past 100 now.

Oh, also it’s apparently similar to sleep walking. Apparently they’ll do that eventually.

The amount of horny that goes into a Comicon (regardless of gender and orientation) is through the roof, so I 100% get that sign.

And here’s the thing, consent is sexy-- people can and very much do hook up at these things! Just don’t be a fucking creep about it.

Anyone else get their best coding done between the hours of 10pm to 6am when we’re finally enjoying peace?

During grad school, I analyzed my dissertation data in the restricted access room late at night while binging Star Trek TNG and Voyager on my laptop. I’d then go to my 7am meetings with my early bird boomer advisor for my RA job and immediately crash once I got home.

You’re in it for a while. My oldest is a night owl somehow but my youngest is hitting 2 and wakes me up at all 3 times (I think he gets up at 5 but only wakes me when hungry, like a cat).

I don’t think it’ll get better until they’re out of the house.

Set it to humanity’s highest point: 1999. Things will get very confusing when they try and break me from the Matrix only to find it we’re in the holodeck.

Oh shit that’s a great idea for any school to have-- and take it from me, I literally studied education in grad school. Healthy food availability is 100% a good thing for academics and from a discipline standpoint (hungry -> grumpy). Public schools in many states just barely getting free breakfast though, so at least there’s progress.

What next, private schools with nap rooms for sleepy teenagers?

There’s a new law coming that will start the citations in CA, at least according to local news. Not sure about the dates, but they are addressing it supposedly.

Oh oh. I need to tell someone about an All-Star moment that happened the other day. I was driving and listening to an alt rock radio station and out of nowhere a Shrek-green Bentley SUV (of all things) pulls in front of me from a left turn. That’s weird enough at it is, but just as he pulled up, All-Star started playing, exactly on cue. I fucking lost it.

I never wished I had a dash cam more in my life, as I don’t think anyone on here will believe this story. It sounds like a fucking (pun intended) green text, lol.
