Dumb phones had that too (and cameras, and internet). I was using GPS on my Motorola Razr back in 2004.

The YT algorithm hates inconsistent uploaders, so they don’t get as promoted as much. Unfortunately you’re going to have to smash that bell icon if you don’t want to miss a video from him.

I’ve never had any success making edibles out of flower. It always comes out too weak, even if I follow the decarb instructions perfectly.
It’s much easier to just mix some distillate into whatever you want to turn into an edible. No cooking needed, just mix in and enjoy. I like to mix in some distillate with Everclear and then water it down with vodka to make it drinkable. Gets you stupid stoned stupid quick.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2: First Gameplay Trailer 1 week ago:
Any game that I have to treat as a second job, is not a game that I want to play.
Plus it’s yet another open world title, which means a lot of running around, looking for something to do. Hard pass.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2: First Gameplay Trailer 1 week ago:
True; I made it about 3/4ths of the way into Outer Worlds before I got bored.
Meanwhile I barely got the main story started before I decided I was done with Starfield. I never thought I’d say this, but that game has too much dialog, and none of it is even the least bit interesting. I have no idea why Bethesda keeps Emil Pagliarulo around. He should have been fired 20 years ago, but instead they keep giving him the job of lead writer.

The only people who say this are people who have never had good pizza before.
The “iT’s PiZzA, sO iT’s GoOd” crowd drive me nuts. You would probably put ketchup and Velveeta on a Ritz cracker and call it a pizza. Have some standards, my dude.
- Comment on Good ear protection for concerts. 1 week ago:
Etymotic makes exactly what you’re looking for.
That said, there is no such thing as hearing protection that doesn’t muffle high frequencies at least somewhat. But what you can do instead is buy earbuds with ANC + audio pass through and foam tips. But keep in mind that the audio will be colored by the frequency response of the headphones, making live audio sound more like a recording. You’ll still get the benefits of the live experience, however, because you’ll still be able to feel the bass.
Keep in mind that these kind of earbuds are basically hearing aids, however. So they won’t be cheap. They’re known as “hearables” and “OTC hearing aids”. And not all of them form a seal around your ear, which means that not all of them are suitable for hearing protection. Which why you’ll need to do your homework and find some that have foam tips. Also be prepared to spend hundreds, possibly thousands.
Or you can just deal with a little bit of muffled audio and buy the Etymotic earplugs. That’s what I would do.

You may not like it, but the AI isn’t wrong here. My girlfriend has been putting on some pounds and her boobs and butt have never been bigger. It is making me stare at her more than usual; the AI made a 100% accurate statement.

Yeah it’s more like caveman English. Lunch, for example, translates to “eat noon” in ASL.

How do you explain the different pockets and completely different backpack, then?
- Comment on How to get over my reddit ""addiction""? 2 weeks ago:
This is what I do, except with Imgur (and occasionally Bluesky).
Lemmy alone is not big enough to replace reddit yet. You need a supplimental website to complete your social media diet.

If a GameBoy could reproduce shades of blue and yellow too, then yeah, like a GameBoy.
- Comment on I live in the green part 2 weeks ago:
That’s cause red and green both look like puke green to people with the most common type of colorblindness.

I don’t give a fuck because I’m dead and won’t be there to see it.

- Comment on Technology Connections: LED Christmas lights which don't hurt the eyes: it finally happened! 3 weeks ago:
I only buy incandescents because I can’t stand flickery, LEDs. Christmas for me is about that feeling of warmth and nostalgia for childhood. There is no reason why LEDs should be like this, so I can’t wait to watch the video to see how well they fixed them.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 weeks ago:
Let me know when they’re 75% off. I have have a hard limit of $60 when it comes to spending money on games. It used to be $50 but those days are gone.

You know that what I’m doing is not only allowed by the CoD Mobile developers, but they even made an official emulator for this very purpose? Google “Gameloop”.
Regardless, I play games to have fun; so knock it off with the guilt tripping. The players know that I’m using a mouse and keyboard. They don’t know how old I am because in-game mic usage is rare these days. I’m playing within the rules. Not my fault that they’re using the touchscreen or plugged in a controller instead of a mouse.
If it bothers you so much, then just stick to ranked and you’ll only get matched with other mouse and keyboard players. But again, I don’t give a fuck because I’m having fun again, just like I used to when I was young. Mobile gaming in an emulator rekindled my interest in gaming overall.
- Comment on 2k Launcher has been fully removed from all games 3 weeks ago:
A lot of times I just want to make a quick change for later without actually having to fire up the game. Even if I’m not interested in playing it anytime soon.
Weird, I know, but I have ADHD so if I don’t do something the moment an idea pops into my head, within seconds I forget and the thought is lost forever. It’s so bad that I’ll often finish a sentence without having any idea how or why I started it.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 3 weeks ago:
You can still still be competitive, you just have to be a bit clever about it.
I recently started playing mobile shooters… in an Android emulator with a mouse and keyboard. Destroying touchscreen kiddos with a proper input device never gets boring.
Some games are even smart enough to detect the mouse and keyboard and only match you with other players using external input devices, like CoD Mobile. That’s one of my favorites because it’s basically CoD: Greatest Hits. All the best maps from the old games are there. And new modes come out every week. It’s so much better than modern CoD; takes me back to the days of playing CoD4 and MWII on the Xbox 360 when I was a teenager.

- Comment on I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction? 3 weeks ago:
It definitely does.
I have both and this describes me a T. I realize that if I don’t find a job ASAP, I’m about two weeks away from being single and homeless. But actually getting off my ass and doing something about it is just too much work. I’m panicking and don’t know what to do. I already applied to 30+ jobs on Indeed and was rejected by every single one. I can’t even get one interview.
- Comment on BACK IT UP 3 weeks ago:
Yeah this is actually really hopeful in a fucked up way. I really hope they legalize psychedelics. They are an extremely effective way to get people to stop voting republican. Worked for me. It woke something up in me that made me realize how selfish and self-serving that entire party is. I’m the only one in my family who no longer votes republican, and also the only one who has tried psychedelics. I think that says a lot.
