  Source for fun. Japanese people discussing their favorite countries. The woman in OP is discussing Belgium!

  Being horny is harmless and fun. There would be a lot more chill in the world if people would stop being so wound up about it.

  The best time to learn emergency lifesaving procedures is before you need them, but the second best time is when you need them. Being old fashioned about this could cost a life.

  If you have a quicker reference people should bookmark for such cases, the kind thing would be to share it rather than judge. Else, panicking people will inevitably go where they know they can usually get fast instruction about any other topic.

  People can also apply the slightest semblance of critical thinking and realize most gaming journalism outfits, no matter their questionable quality, will realize they won't last long if there are true spoilers in the titles. Therefore this isn't really a spoiler.

  Like they're obviously going to phrase things in ways that get more engagement, which is why it's a crucial skill on the internet today that readers need to think critically and not just accept headlines literally.

  I'm not saying it's right, but jfc man, you have to develop skills to engage with the internet you have, not the internet you wish you had. I really feel no sympathy for people who thought this was a spoiler. At least this is a cheap lesson in gullibility instead of a costly one.

  But then they wouldn't get so many clicks and reactions.

  Everyone's malding over spoilers and not realizing this isn't an actual ending that's coded into the game, it's just a funny side effect of a spell that malfunctioned during the end boss.

  This., They should be going through insurance for this.

  Of course, the insurance rates would rise, and they'd still be passing on that increase to the residents, but residents would be slightly less bitchy about it since the extra layers of opacity would make it seem like "just more of the usual greed and inflation."

  I'm glad you had fun with it. Do accept that my inability to have fun with it doesn't negate any of the enjoyment you got out of it. Respectfully, something this long instructing me of all the ways I must have played it wrong if I didn't enjoy it as much as you comes off as a little condescending. I'm sure it wasn't your intent, but like... I know I have the option to put it down or skip things. I know I can pay off bounties. I was there, these systems and ideas are not hard to find. But for me, the fact that I'm allowed to skip engaging with a system or put it down before I see all the devs put there for me to see is the opposite of a selling point.

  For me, it's like I ordered a meal at a favorite restaurant, the plate came out with portions three times larger than expected and gorgeously plated but with so little seasoning I couldn't stomach it. Saying "you don't have to eat it all" and "there's salt on the table" doesn't make it a good meal.

  We find different things fun, and that's okay. May we both have a good time with Mirage.

  I love AC. Or... did.

  AC Odyssey was the first one in the entire series I couldn't push myself to finish. I used to love just bumping around eliminating every single map icon, but Odyssey was way, way too big, and having my zen ruined by bounty hunters all the time was exhausting.

  I heard Valhalla was even worse. It was the first one I skipped after playing each one since the original (even some of the 2D ones).

  the black spots you get in clothes when you leave them in a wet pile for too long

  We call that mold or mildew.

  I mean, we were all thinking it. Putting the warning to stop us from doing so seriously while still indulging the joke was the right way to go.

  Not remembering a joke from an episode that aired 25 years ago doesn't really rank high on most people's shame-o-meters, my dude

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot take: Users without a profile pick are mildlyinfuriating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t even tell most of you people apart.

  Have you ever considered maybe that's the point? Maybe people want to be judged for what they say instead of what image they had on hand when they signed up?

  I uploaded a pic while playing with all the shiny features over here, but I was faceless on reddit for years after their introduction of profile pics, because I was there to have discussions, not build a profile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This wasn't meant to happen!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of date tbh - It's never a labyrinthine phone tree anymore, it's a "natural speech" based menu that can never help with more than the most basic inquiries like "how much is my bill?" and still stubbornly refuses to put you in the queue for a real person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uno reverse 🔁⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I started a DU playthrough and laughed almost as hard as I alt-F4ed the first time I picked one of those fantasize options and saw what happened. 10/10 addition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a world we live in...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy is much more aggressive about it than the other sites you mentioned. Dunno what to tell you since you're hoping otherwise, but that's what's going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a world we live in...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding your image rotation: When you rotate an image, it's often not done as an actual movement of data, but as an added EXIF tag. "Take this image and display it at this angle."

  EXIF tags can store a lot of malicious shit like the GPS location of your photo, so lemmy aggressively strips them out. Better take your photos the right way from the start and/or use a robust photo manipulation software that will actually rearrange the data instead of adding a tag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Street Fighter 6 tournament interrupted by nude Chun-Li mod⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They don't want ludicrously high quality productions using better models. They want Chun-Li. And under their control.

  This isn't my thing, but I mean, you like what you like. It's like asking why anyone reads porn when video is available. They just don't scratch the same itch, and you like what you like.
