  They’re always called garden gnomes, as if they don’t go home at night and have their own things to do.

  Basically. Main-character-ass numetal and metalcore are like teenage crack in a pair of headphones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The year is 2036 and I’ve been brought in for questioning because my PlayStation Plus subscription lapsed well over 3 months ago.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some steam games don’t have DRM… even Steam’s. Steam just hosts the files. I think Stalker(the old games) is onesuch example. The games just launch whether steam is up or not.

  Fuck it, consider your phone an applaince forced upon you. Take it and your phone bill off on your taxes as a business expense. SMS, calls, nav. That’s all, don’t give them anything more and tether a second device like a laptop for chatting with us degens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loosing my religion⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. My mom is the last thing I hold any level of doubt for. I let her have her Christian thises and thats and I indulge her just enough to keep her happy. She was and is a great, loving mother who deserves to go out comfortably, and I’m seeing to it.

  .. but the very week she’s gone, the filter is off and is never going back on. No one else deserves it and it literally sucks the life out of me to nod along to someone else’s insanity when they’re around. It’s draining.

  I have to wash off with NetGeo documentaries, Nova episodes and Twain essays after every visit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loosing my religion⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My cousin wouldn’t let his daughter watch Wicked because they whisper a spell during the movie.

  I literally asked “Are you fucking serious?”

  The query went right by his perception of me questioning his sanity as if I was making a remark in regards to the film itself.

  “Yeah, man. You gotta be careful these days.”

  I thought we hated corporate marketing, now we’re doing their jobs for them?

  The aye of the bee holder and all that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨perplexing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also why we can’t move forward.

  “Welcome to Lemmy, how leftist are you?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefulluy, there will be no need for subsidies, it’s well and efficient enough to make the costs up within a few years despite the haterade drinkers in the shithouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reverse that and we’re golden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. If you ever need a reality check, use your own family as a basline.

  I’m sometimes reminded there are two Teslas in our family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of an era?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re betting on consumers being too impulsive and stupid to care, and… they’re probably right.

  Yo, Bird up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, yes they are⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I often wonder if our broken and fucked up capitalistic world wouldn’t do a complete backflip into the dirt once all that wealth poured out into the hands of common folk.

  Like, it only “""works""” if the system itself is corrupt. The utilities, medicines and food the currency pays for are just as they are, there isn’t more because people have more money to buy it.

  I’m not justifying billionares, hell no, just making sure all the people who want the dam to break know what to do with the water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, yes they are⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmmm…

  people and children in cages the bombing of civilians poisioning of natural ecosystems abject torture and abuse of the innocent

  nope. I’d think about it, though.
