  When articles mention “The Economy” it just means rich people’s money.

  I love reading Spanish as a native French speaker, it’s like trying to read French on drugs. I kinda understand but I really don’t.

  This is a win, because there’s definitely no L.

  I’d imagine half the users here have blue hair, piercings, white guilt, and pride flag bumper stickers

  I am definitely the type of person you’re trying to describe here and I’m honestly just insulted you think I’d own a car. I cycle everywhere, thank you.

  I do have a bunch of Pride stickers on my bike though, ya got me there!

  When I used to work at a summer camp, we had this mud pit behind one of the cabins where we’d bring groups who were down for it (usually the older kids). It looked exactly like this and the kids loved it.

  One time we went in and a kid felt something in the mud and we pulled out a full skull of some animal. We stopped bringing the kids there afterwards, lol

  Being on a video call while operating a motor vehicle is dangerous and should be illegal in any sane jurisdiction under distracted driving laws.

  Seriously, half the fucking country lives in the Québec City - Windsor corridor and we don’t even have a high speed train there?? It’s a political issue, not a geographical one.

  Nah, the point of a piercing is the end you stick in first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people are definitely 100% gay, and some and definitely 100% straight, but I agree in that I think the majority of people could potentially be attracted to people of all genders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 3rd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m finally playing Celeste and honestly it’s living up to the hype. The art style is amazing, great soundtrack, solid platforming mechanics, and just the perfect balance of challenging and rewarding. The storyline is really endearing too, I have a huge crush on Theo.

  I’ve also started Cyberpunk 2077. It’s the first big AAA game I’ve played in a while, and I’m honestly kinda overwhelmed by the scope of the game. 7 hours in and I still felt like I was going through a tutorial. GTA-style open worlds aren’t usually my fav kind of games but I really dig the cyberpunk setting so far.

  The mullet definitely would make me think you’re queer!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not particularly, and while I admit this can seem hypocritical, the verb “to google” has just become a generic trademark.

  When someone says band-aid, or kleenex, or jello, I think of bandages, tissues, or gelatin desserts, not of a specific brand of these products. Same goes with “googled”, it just means “searched the web” now rather than specifically using Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’ve noticed this user basically inserts a “kagis” into like 2/3 of their comments, it always slightly irks me because it makes me feel like I’m getting advertised at. I’ve never felt the need to proclaim which search engine(s) I’ve used to research any particular comment on Lemmy, and I find it odd that the one person who does so regularly is doing it for a paid service.

  Apart from that, their comments are usually pretty good, so I’m not accusing them of shilling or anything, but I find it super peculiar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was laughing too hard to think of a title.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t say that isn’t a valid interpretation, but I’ve always thought the joke was simply “paranoid conspiracist thinks everyone is out to get him except the guy fucking his wife”.

  I think it also highlights Dale’s sweet side; despite his tendency towards conspiracy, he refuses to see the obvious when Nancy is cheating on him because he is 100% in love and trusting of her. He literally can’t imagine her betraying his trust like that. He will believe that Joseph is half-alien before doubting Nancy of wrongdoing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is something I might be too French-Canadian to understand, here we’d call it “pot” or perhaps “herbe”, both of which don’t translate to “bad grass”.

  Unless overseas “herbe” translates to weed. We use it pretty interchangeably with “gazon” (which just means grass)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes adding the installer as a non-Steam game and running it through Proton works, otherwise I use Lutris. You can find tutorials online for setting it up to use with FitGirl’s installers.

  Although specifically for Cyberpunk 2077 I had issues with the install, so I found a no-install version, I believe from DODI.

  Ooo I’ve never heard of this! Kinda sad I only saw this comment after the Summer Sale :P Thanks for sharing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you know where to look, a certain athletic woman can give it to you for free if you’re on a Steam Deck!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a similar vein to Superluminal, I’d also recommend Viewfinder, it’s kinda like Portal but with a camera rather than a Portal gun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 7th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently bought a Steam Deck and have been getting back into gaming after a long hiatus.

  I used to play mainly competitive online games (mostly Counter-Strike) and got kinda burnt out on them. It made me not want to game for a while, so I’m diving into slower-paced, single-player games.

  Viewfinder and Superliminal are both perspective-based puzzle games that I’ve been really enjoying. Tickles my brain in kind of the same way the Portal games did on my first playthroughs.

  Speaking of Portal, I’ve also started Portal: Revolution which is a fan-made mod whose story takes place between the two official games. For what it is, it’s honestly quite excellent, the puzzles are challenging and fun. Not quite as well-polished as Portal 2, but so far it’s giving the first game a run for its money.

  I’ve also been emulating a ton of Mario Kart 8, trying to git gud, my friend group often breaks it out at get-togethers and I want to surprise them with my sudden increase in skill!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of Whatever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what the author describes as the culture of Whatever is also a big reason everything kinda sucks now. It’s all run by MBAs who have no relation to the product and have no vision except “line goes up”. They have no incentive to care about the product they’re offering because they couldn’t care less about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much spacing while stopped at a red light?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for not participating in the vehicular arms race!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much spacing while stopped at a red light?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this advice made more sense when the majority drove reasonably-sized vehicles rather than the huge trucks and SUVs that pollute our roads now (at least in North America).

  I wouldn’t be surprised if this bit of advice contributes to the problem in OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally AI. Look at the seating, the illusion really falls apart.

  Also, Fieri and Bourdain were not fans of each other, Bourdain once said Fieri looked “like a Simpsons character that was designed by committee”.

  This just made me imagine a modded Civic but with rockets.

  Honestly, knowing people who mod Civics, I wouldn’t be surprised of this has already been done somewhere in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How 100,000 Hippies Tried to Levitate the Pentagon in 1967⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From Wikipedia:

  In a symbolic act, activist Abbie Hoffman vowed to levitate the Pentagon. Hoffman claimed he would employ the use of psychic energy to levitate the Pentagon until it turned orange and begin to vibrate, at which time the war in Vietnam would end. The event was accompanied by Allen Ginsberg leading Tibetan chants to assist Hoffman. While levitation did not occur, the act served as a powerful symbol of the protesters’ opposition to the Vietnam War.
