Started feeling it around 50, at 60, I can’t do this comfortably anymore.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 15 hours ago:
Some people understand why they’re single, and accept it.

I haven’t knowingly bought anything from Amazon in nearly 10 years.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO: Society has no choice but to change. I used to play in the streets. When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now 1 day ago:
Oh, well then, I guess the asshole has spoken, so we all just fall in line.
The only thing nice I have to say about this shitstain is he’s temporarily sequestered a bit of carbon.
- Comment on European Commission rejects new laws for Stop Destroying Videogames 2 days ago:
Money wins again.
It’s not a big enough issue for the pols to come down on the side of the people. They know they won’t be voted out on this one decision, so they came down on the side of the money.
- Comment on Is all Hollywood Casting all the same? From like just a side character up to like James Bond or Superman? Or are big names like those is casting different? 2 days ago:
Different in what way?
I think the only difference is in how the actors deal with agents.
Most casting happens through agents. Although some big stars don’t have an agent and simply take calls directly if they’re not working much anymore, or don’t want to work much. Extras may not have an agent to begin with, but will answer a call from an agency for extras.
Casting deals with agents, and agents deal with actors. Agents negotiate on behalf of the actors they represent, but of course, actors have final say in whether they will take a role.
A script can be sold to studios by which big star or director is “attached”, if any are. So, the script may be written for a specific star, or even commissioned by a specific star.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 2 days ago:
I’ve done anal, spanking, choking, ropes, outdoors, and age-play. I like spanking and ropes, but ropes take so much time, the other person gets bored. Anal is fine if they’re into it, but I can take it or leave it. I suppose part of the problem for me is I don’t think of any of it as “dirty” or forbidden.
- Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do? 2 days ago:
You’ll need to add onto your tile, to distinguish it from the rip-off version, so people know.
And, doing what you’re doing here, getting the word out.
You’ll be fine.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 2 days ago:
On purpose? In a diaper? With people watching?
Me neither? But, there’s a difference I imagine.
- Comment on is our battery/junk drawer dangerous? 4 days ago:
Probably one of the less dangerous things you do on a daily basis.

If you haven’t been afraid of needles in the past, I see no reason… oh!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I run NoScript. I only allow the javascript a site needs to function.
Most sites run well enough without it enabled, at least for viewing the content. Lemmy lets you read without JS enabled.
Google sites demand JS enabled to show you anything.

- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 1 week ago:
This is irrelevant to OP’s point about Lemmy being pro-CCP.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 1 week ago:
For those of you picking at OP “not having a dog in the fight”, because they’re in Africa, that is irrelevant to OP’s point.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 1 week ago:
Yes. As per OP, tankies are everywhere in Lemmy. More so than other platforms, it’s hard to miss. OP isn’t wrong about that.
- Comment on Email came out of nowhere 1 week ago:
I got the email three days ago here in America, I didn’t look at it at the time. I dunno if Gmail can edit an email after I’ve received it, I suppose they can. Here’s how it rendered just now when I opened it. I’m not defending anything, I just wanted to show what I found::
- Comment on I vaguely remember these but forgot what they were for 1 week ago:
Promo shots for 30-year-old sitcoms?
Everybody Love Raymond. This is Brad Garrett, he played Raymond’s brother, Robert Barone.
- Comment on If a person goes "missing" and never found. How long does it take for life insurance to kick in and bank accounts resort back to the family? 1 week ago:
Asking for a friend?
- Comment on An Eye-Opening Experience 1 week ago:
Right, but if he’s geeking out, and I’m learning something, a couple of hours would be fine. Not that any doctor would spend that long on such a thing.
- Comment on What happened to Kathy Griffin after she pulled her little stunt? Why does it seem she was "canceled"? Heck the guy who posted 8647 has to give reasons before congress. 1 week ago:
She was never cancelled for me. I’ve always liked her, and I liked her more after the picture.
- Comment on How come people don't compliment other people on great word usage? If someone use the word lets say ecclesiastical or something like that they do not get complimented it shows they respect English. 1 week ago:
I think people do sometimes. More so in writing, than in conversation. But, it’s too meta. If you’re just trying to have a conversation and someone interrupts you to say, “Hey, great use of that word!”, that’s probably not what you were trying to convey and is distracting. I suggest saving that for word games.
- Comment on The body of a contortionist while performing a trick. This X-ray also shows that a significant part of the spine does not bend. 1 week ago:
It’s a CT scan, which is why the shoulders don’t show. You can search how CT scanning works, if you want to learn something.
Snopes claims it’s real.
- Comment on If you've had a bad day 1 week ago:
No chance they’ve slept in the same bedroom in more than ten years.
- Comment on Boss, please pick up 1 week ago:
Boss would do the same, for some equally stupid question.
- Comment on How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows? 2 weeks ago:
I read that if you make friends with crows you become their bitch, they don’t take “no” for an answer after that. Your only option in the future may be to move.
- Comment on How do I get myself to actually do thing? 2 weeks ago:
For me, it’s committing to the first step, and then following through one step at a time. I also commit to making progress, and take some pride in making progress each time. That way, I don’t get overwhelmed.
I’m currently building a bed, the first step was planning the bed, then gathering the materials, and the new tools I needed, and so forth. One step at a time without worrying about how long it’s taking, or if I didn’t make any progress on some days. It’s been a couple of weeks, and I’m about 85% done. I’ll probably complete it sometime next week, but there’s no deadline, or hurry.
One final tip I’ve read is that you should not tell anyone in detail what you are planning, until you’ve started and have committed. Because, simply talking with someone else about doing a thing can scratch the itch to do it, and you will feel less motivated to follow through.
