- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 6 days ago:
As others have said it’s savory not sweet and guac is a great choice but I put mine in a wrap.
I cook up some chickpeas in barbeque sauce, spread some avocado on a big ol tortilla, throw in some coleslaw and the chickpeas, wrap it up and go to town.

Oh no, Trump and Friends have been some of the most consistent people I have ever seen. Consistently awful and against all normal people maybe, but consistent
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 1 week ago:
This has been just over the past couple years for me. It absolutely still is the world if you aren’t a jackass
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 1 week ago:
This is how I did it. You just have to find the like minded individuals and put in the time to get to know them. I did it through meetup.com some, word of mouth of events from other friends, and just talking a chance and talking to someone who seemed chill from work. Some of my best friends now.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 1 week ago:
I’ve only ever been academia adjacent and I’m glad. Some of the most soulless people I’ve ever met. It’s the lab grunts who know how to party. Until they have the life sucked out of them to meet some arbitrary writing spec for a journal
- Comment on Why nor???? 2 weeks ago:
Well, it doesn’t change size based on the wielder. It changes size based on its will and what it percieves will bring it the result it desires. Which is admittedly way more complex and abstract. This is why I said knowing more about it’s properties would be extremely important to figuring out how to use it.
If it only changes size in one direction, like growing bigger to slip off a finger, but the band width never changes, then it would still be extremely useful for some measurements. We also don’t know if there’s a maximum or minimum to it’s size changes which would greatly matter.
- Comment on Why nor???? 2 weeks ago:
Sure. For me (computer scientist but went to engineering based school) I’d be most excited about the experimental possibilities.
I mean if nothing else the potential to have the world’s most stable mass and dimensional object could revolutionize measurements, which might not sound the most practical until you realize just how much we rely on dimensional accuracy for so many things.
There’s some experiments where we fire a laser at things, and we’re approaching powers (zetawatts) where things basically instantly melt. Having a material that can withstand that could allow experiments that could push our understanding of light, nuclear reactions, quantum mechanics, and more.
From a practical aspect. If it, say, absorbs heat. Having a limitless heat sink could potentially let us explore deeper into the Earth’s core than ever before (where the heat and pressure really caused issues for the drills).
And all that is just off a few seconds thought from a non engineer.
- Comment on Why nor???? 2 weeks ago:
It really depends on the other material properties. Like if it’s as slippery as nylon vs as slippery as rubber is really gonna change things. Plus how does it react to outside forces trying to destroy it? Absorption? Diffusion? Conversion (like heat into sound or something).
All that would drastically change what you could do with it
- Comment on AI advice 2 weeks ago:
Sure, fine, some get this right, and what else are they getting wrong? Something more serious and harder to spot?
- Comment on AI advice 2 weeks ago:
The point isn’t that some models are better than others. The point is that yet again it’s an example that LLMs are not thinking machines and you can’t trust anything from them and people are burning the world to run a glorified auto complete.
- Comment on What Lemmy/Piefed communities are YOUR personal favourites? 3 weeks ago:
!fountainpens@lemmy.world and !nolawns@slrpnk.net
Not always the most active but a hobby I enjoy and a cause I fully believe in.
- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t add the bloody mary mix. Add some salt, garlic, onions, and beans. You can try and fight me but good luck. I have the power of being right on my side
- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 3 weeks ago:
Real glad I’m not in the Epstein files right now. I don’t think I could handle missing out on homemade baba ganoush. I’ll pick up some shawarma and be right over
- Comment on we're all a little gay inside 3 weeks ago:
This. We don’t as people define a rainbow as the path of light or anything like that. We define a rainbow as a circle of colors in the sky. That’s how language works.

CAN’T WE HAVE ONE NICE THING!!!
GAAAAAAH
- Comment on Highguard Developer Makes Layoffs Affecting "Most of the Team", Two Weeks After Launch 4 weeks ago:
Highguard did actually have some unique things that made it stand out like the raiding aspect.
The bigger problem is it was under baked. They released basically a demo after getting featured at the Game Awards instead of taking the time to finish building out the game.
- Comment on why is the beginning on the left and the end on the right? 4 weeks ago:
This is the kind of stuff Etymology_nerd talk about on YouTube.
That and how Gorbachev is responsible for Skibidi Toilet
- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 5 weeks ago:
Oh I’m way off on the amount. I think I had that 2 Trillion increase in my head as the full debt.
I fully support long term change though yeah. I feel like the entire country, not just politicians but business men and regular day to day folk, don’t think more than the next quarter.
- Comment on Do it for your country's debt! 5 weeks ago:
The top 25 US billionaires could pay off US debt. Not even every billionaire. They total about 3 trillion net worth.
That’s ignoring say the $60 billion or so Apple has in cash and who knows what other companies have
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 5 weeks ago:
There’s definitely an argument to be made for either your or my way. I feel if a lot more gamers were willing to vote with their dollar and be conscious about the ethics of the games/studios I might be more inclined to agree with you as it would have an actual impact. I realize I’m in the minority though based on how well FIFA does with each new version and so I know I’m not actually moving the dial at all. I decided for me I’ll keep the clear conscience and go play one of the other amazing games out there.
I did send an email through a contact page to hazelight too to let them know EA specifically cost them a customer. Doubt that information made it anywhere, but at least I try.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 5 weeks ago:
Split fiction. It looks solid and my friend and I need more games to play together that isn’t competitive pvp, but we both vote with our dollar and refuse to give EA any more money.

I go talk to my therapist and get better about remembering my meds.
- Comment on 65% of workers are interested in ‘microshifting’ their schedules as an alternative to the strict 9-to-5: It’s ‘a way to reclaim control’ 1 month ago:
Most people just want to be able to work their way and only be judged on the work done. If for you that means you still want a strict 9-5 or whatever then go ahead. They’re not trying to stop your ability to do that.
- Comment on Mount an ISO in Linux? 1 month ago:
As others said there’s a command, but pretty sure you can just right click and click “Mount” without bringing up terminal
- Comment on Help, I'm already addicted XD 1 month ago:
I’m still trying to decide if I want to give it a shot. Got burnt out on Minecraft. Is it different enough from Minecraft with some mods?

Lol. That’s got nothing to do with it. The adults stalking kids is what’s up.

They probably saw how much money Roblox makes and that public opinion is (finally) starting to turn on Roblox. They want that pie
- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 2 months ago:
Your tastes may change and you might have changed as a person as you aged but there’s nothing to “grow out of”. Games aren’t inherently childish. Certain ones can be, but games as a whole aren’t

It’s supposed to be a queue system. The people are handling a call, and when it’s handled, they look at the next in the queue and call them back.
- Comment on Linux has had a great year, but there are two reasons I can't tear myself away from Windows 2 months ago:
I’ve been in his exact same spot, at APEX, but with a Windows machine. This guy is definitely an idiot if he’s blaming Linux. Things just happen at shows and you have to be prepared. Anyone who’s worked expos knows to have a backup plan for their main thing. Sounds like his main thing was taking notes during interviews. So no notepad? No pen? No bootable USB with notes saved to it? Yeah, definitely user error.
He’s also quoting Alistair Mcfarlane, a nutjob who acts like the entire world is out to get him. Not the kind of guy who’s opinion you should care about.
And his argument about battlefield 6. “It’s probably been popular with some who don’t play many other multiplayer games at all.” I cherry picked but the entire paragraph feels like he’s trying to convince himself with vague “I dunno”.
He posts that list saying people can’t branch out to try multiplayer but his own list has about 500 games that work on Linux if I’m reading it right. Certainly options to branch out to.
Guy sounds like he’s trying to convince himself he’s right, not convince others.
