Everyone in my family knows when we were born. We’ve had some pretty interesting stories about how it all happened.
I could just as easily see that question from someone who got curious from hearing someone else’s story.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 studio was reportedly told to tone down inclusivity by EA after Saudi Arabia buyout, former BioWare dev alleges, "so as to not cause offense" 1 week ago:
You are aware that people have been using AI to resurrect old games for current modern platforms, right?
That regardless of what all of the people who downvoted me and upvoted you happen to think, I did not in fact just pull this idea out of my ass, and that people have been doing this?

Could they use AI to reverse engineer all of the EA games like they did with the Adobe apps? I mean, if there are any companies who deserve it, companies doing things like this absolutely do.

Sure.
Stop seeing their money as valuable, and convince others to do the same.
Don’t accept money for anything outside of work. Only accept things of value. And when possible, don’t offer money for things. Offer things of value, or work, or trades.
Because the money’s not actually valuable. They’re intentionally devaluing it so that they can be the only ones with enough left to have anything considered wealth.
If the population devalues the currency, that creates all kinds of problems.

I mean, it really seems like there are a total of two people in contention at this point.

The transgender issue is not a problem with a bunch of mentally ill people running around demanding everyone call them the wrong pronouns.
The transgender issue is a problem with a bunch of mentally ill people running around feeling a compulsion to seek out minority people and say things to intentionally make those minority people’s lives worse.
In an average year, I might encounter what, I’m going to say maybe about three people who I think might be transgender. Maybe I’m bad at noticing. Let’s be generous and say twelve. One per month. When I read a person complaining about “so many transgender people”, my first thought isn’t “Oh my God the transgenders are coming to get us all!” My first thought is “What is it about this person that makes them so laser-focused on seeking out and harassing these people that I almost never see anywhere?”

- Comment on He escaped 1 month ago:
Look, we’ve gotten to the point where without backstory and evidence, police in the United States don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt, so until I find out otherwise, I’m not even remotely disappointed that the guy defeated the police officer.

If a turkey ever tells me how to cook it, I’m not going to cook it.

I always thought Bill O’Reilly was a bad person.

I hope to God that they don’t take down the signs.

I noticed this on a relative’s YouTubeTV, that when I paused to read the screen, it threw garbage up on the screen over the text. “Mildly infuriating” is right!

In a weird way, the person who wrote the headline “The smartest way to make the rich pay is not a wealth tax” might have a point.
- Comment on BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just introduced the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act — a bill to guarantee at least two weeks of paid vacation to every full-time worker in America. Over 90 other members of Cong… 2 months ago:
Always remember that when an employer says you’re screwing coworkers over by taking leave that the employer was free to hire another employee to make it so the workload would be reasonable, and that you as an employee had no such ability to influence the situation. All you are doing is taking leave for your own personal health.
ALL leave is health-related leave.
And any company offering you “unlimited” leave is just making it known that they’re the kind of company to make efforts to not have to pay you. “Unlimited leave” is a big red flag.

You can tell that you live in a society that’s about to totally collapse when you see signs like this.
- Comment on Skill Issue 😓 3 months ago:
The proper thought to have when an employer says they’re short staffed is “Why didn’t you hire enough people?” not “Gee, I should chip in!”

I hate you.
I hate the fact that I didn’t get it and then not only closed the window and scrolled down to the end of the Lemmy page and then clicked on the next page, and then it loaded, and THEN I got it.
- Comment on Me this morning 3 months ago:
At about 3-4 I notice that something has changed. I do think I need to request an increase in dosage to make it a little bit later in the day. I’ve been on the Ritalin for less than a year.
The crash later in the day helps me feel ready for sleep in a way I’ve never experienced before. Usually I would just be awake at all hours until my brain couldn’t take it anymore, but now I legitimately do feel like sleeping. And with the edible, man, my schedule is closer to everybody else’s than it’s ever been.
- Comment on Me this morning 3 months ago:
I have an extended-release Ritalin prescription that I take every morning. It’s amazing. Best stuff in the world.
But oh, man, adding an edible 2-3 times a week before bed leaves me SO much more able to function during the week.
Before those two, life was stressful as all hell.
But with those two things, I’m kicking ass and taking names all week long.

If you’re in the U.S. you’ve probably seen them in grocery store parking lots. They typically are like a trailer hitch with a bunch of solar panels on it, and then a pole, and a multi-directional camera on the very top of the pole, with a blinking light. I’m colorblind, but I think the light is blue.
They claim to be for the security of the business, but what they do is to monitor all license plates and all cars that come into a given area(and they can identify the same car even if the license plate is changed).
And I wouldn’t have so much of a problem with that if individual businesses wanted to have closed-circuit video for their parking lot, but these things are networked nationwide, so this company can track the exact location of your car nationwide, each and every time one of your cars drives by these things.
The operation of these things should be a felony, and it makes sense that people are destroying them now. I completely understand why.

I’ve had a Roomba, and I’ve manually cleaned a floor.
There’s nothing dumb about not having to vacuum and mop.
- Comment on Is there music I haven't heard because I only speak English? 4 months ago:
Okay, look.
I took it a step further.
I highly recommend taking an intro class in any other language. And then start listening to the music. It’s like you’re studying but you’re not even trying. You’ll be listening to banger after banger and just getting better and better at the other language.
Some recommendations:

And I’m over here mostly listening to music from other countries and loving it.
Sometimes it really is that the music in the U.S. isn’t as good as it used to be.
- Comment on $37 for a burrito 5 months ago:
Yeah, the U.S. stole the “$” from Spain, but, for example, Mexico actually inherited its use from Spain.
A menu having “$” doesn’t necessarily mean the prices are in U.S. Dollars.
