Me with that superpower:
My boss: “Where the hell is he??? He can teleport instantly! HOW is he still late to work every day???”
20 minutes later
Me: “Sorry I’m late, but traffic was a bitch!”
Boss: “You have the ability to instantly teleport, and you DRIVE to work?”
Me: “Oh…no. No no no no no. I didn’t drive. Public transportation actually.”
Boss: “YOU TOOK THE BUS???”
Me: “Well, yeah. If I don’t support our cities public transportation infrastructure, who will? You know they they keep getting their funding cut, right?”

Man. I hit that age around 7 years old. They told me PeeWee Herman wasn’t going to be on TV anymore because he had fun in a movie theater. Tried asking why that was wrong. No adult would tell me. So I put two and two together and decided that this world is pissing me off.
To be fair, I’m 41, and stand by that to this day. PeeWee did nothing wrong, even AFTER knowing the full story.

My school had a rumor that Marylin Manson had 14 year old girl groupies that sucked his toes and did his grocery shopping for him, for free, just for a chance to be around him.

Welp. That part I didn’t know.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 3 days ago:
Jesus christ! What the hell is wrong with people???
I’m on ZorinOS, but I gotta say, this is the dark ages of PC. Windows is full on dog shit, Mac always has been expensive as fuck, and Linux just doesn’t have the userbase to rely on companies making their programs available for the format.
On top of that linux has ALWAYS has had a very terminal based culture.
I’ve always said and continue to believe that linux CAN BE good for the average nontech minded folk. The way this happens is Flatpak becomes the dominant format in program installation. Terminal doesn’t have to change, it can still be used exactly as it is, but it takes a backseat in terms of how the system is presented to newbies.
If I look up how to fix X problem on linux, I should by default find a GUI based solution. YOU can still use terminal to do whatever you do. I myself don’t get it. The average user doesn’t get it. I find solutions online. They say “Put this command in terminal”. I do that, it goes as expected. And then “ok, now run these commands” and the first few go as expected. And then it will spit out some error that I don’t understand. “ERROR THE L LISTS AREN’T COMBOBULATED TO THE FCAP COMPORRIUM” or some shit. What the hell??? What am I supposed to do with that??? So you copy the error, ask online what it means, and they say “Oh, your L Lists just need to be updated to the new repository. Just sync your flabarts to the chukchuk.”
And thats about the time I lose my temper and decide to just get really drunk and watch the big bang on over the air tv, because what the hell does any of this matter anyways if I can’t even install a simple program, and update some drivers?
Now. Let’s rewind. What if linux, regardless of distro had the same flatpak store, the same interface for it, and some under the hood settings that are standard across the board? The rest of the distro can be whatever, but you should have a reliable way to change and update basic shit.
And for those of you like the guy in this threads photo, who are going to bombard me with death threats and insults, just consider this. People have been saying Windows is unusable dog shit since the 90s. Mac has always been unaffordable for most people. And Linux is free, and supposedly 1000% more stable in every way. Yet last time I looked, Linux, on the rise, had an all time high user base sharehold of 5.49% of the PC market. If you think I’m wrong, explain why Linux isn’t not just the leader, but the dominant leader. Being free AND better should make it the obvious choice, but it’s clearly not. There’s a reason for that. And it’s terminal.
Right now we’re living in the dark ages of PCs. We got windows at it’s all time worst, mac expensive as always, and linux still pushing users away by far.
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5 4 days ago:
You are not going to believe this! I have a great bridge, sturdy bridge, fantastic bridge actually. The government wants to tear it down because I don’t have the $100 dollars to fix a minor problem. You know how it is. Avacado toast price just keeps going up…
Point is, I could sell you this bridge. It’s in your neighborhood, and it normally has a value of 1 million dollars. I’m just looking to get rid of it. So I’ll sell it to you for $100. This sale isn’t meant to be public, so don’t tell anyone, otherwise they might offer me more money. And this sale is just for you! Because I like you…
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 4 days ago:
That’s the thing. PS2 at one time was the best selling system of all time. I forget if that record still holds up. I know the DS oversold it, but thats not a tv console.
Point is, with any console that had that big of an impact on gaming, it’s going to have a ton of bangers that still hold up 20+ years later.
And boy howdy if that ain’t true!
I’m honestly surprised there aren’t independant projects releasing new PS2 games today, in the same way you see occasional new releases for NES and Game Boy Color.

- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
See, the thing is, the guy with the ball? He’s the one with the ball.
And the guy with the ball??? Well he’s the one with the ball!!! And as we all know, the guy who’s playing with his balls, is the one who controls EVERYTHING!!! So you can’t just give the ball to just anyone. I mean my god! What if you try to give the ball to some guy who’s not ready to run??? You don’t see Brady throwing a football to Stephen Hawking!!! You know why??? Because he’s dead! And also because he can’t run…because, again, he’s dead. Dead people can’t run.
I’m honestly baffled why Usain Bolt never played football. Imagine giving that guy the ball and telling him “your job…is to RUN!!!”
Wasted oppertunity is what that is! Yeah, sure, he competed in the olympics. But just imagine if he made the Cleveland Browns into a winning team! He’d be the highest paid athlete EVER!!!
People would say “You won the BROWNS a championship??? Holy fuck! Lets get you on a box of Wheaties!”
I mean…right?
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
For me it’s not. Don’t get me wrong, I hate AI.
But also, I don’t buy games from EA for the past 10 years.
So all I’m hearing is that the Madden series will either be sold off, or die.
I only bought every few years. Because really, why buy 2013 when you have 2012? Buuuuut, you can justify buying 2017, when all you have is 2012.
I think that was the first Madden game I bought where it didn’t have a season mode.
I do not give a FUUUUUCK about franchise mode. I don’t care about running a team. I don’t care about controlling an individual player from high school to NFL. I don’t care about designing plays. I don’t care about roster trades.
I don’t even know the names of the players. I don’t know what a nickle or dime is. I just know this play is a passing play, and I can either throw to L1, or X. Then I let the play develop, and see who’s open.
All I want to do is play 16 games, and if we make it, the playoffs. Once we either win or don’t win the superbowl, the game is over for me.
Literally the only 2 modes I give a flying fuck about are exhibition and season. Don’t know don’t care what player packs are, or elite cards, or any of this XP bullshit. I do not give one flying fuck.
But let the guy run, and I press the button, and he throws the ball. Then if he catches it, let me run with it.
And they took away the part of the game I spend 80% of my time in. So I took away any sales I gave them since.
