There’s Lemmy chat now? How does that work?? Is it like IRC?
- Comment on The time off hasn't been approved yet 4 weeks ago:
If anyone was wondering, that’s the Last Office Chair, and can be found here.

Hey man no spoilers, I just started Ghost of Tsushima the other day…

Exactly. Well put.
- Comment on Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining? 1 month ago:
I can imagine being that old would make it difficult to think straight, tbh. What’s your secret?
- Comment on Chicken vs Egg 1 month ago:
I haven’t understood how this question seems difficult to so many. Not trying to put anyone down, but chicks hatch from eggs. In order for a chicken to be classified as a chicken (as we know it to be), it would have hatched out of an egg.
- Comment on David McBride: former army lawyer sentenced to five years for stealing and leaking Afghanistan war documents 1 month ago:
The year is 2034, war has become the norm. Prisons are filled with dissidents, whistleblowers, and more. Prison gangs move from violence to scary Sudoku.

I like that I wasn’t the only person to think of Tyson.
- Comment on Beavis and Butt-Head - SNL 2 months ago:
I don’t know why, but some inebriated man in Arkansas once told me “sometimes you gotta just throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks”. I’m not sure if he was being literal, though I felt it was appropriate.
- Comment on clearly aliens 2 months ago:
It may be passed 4am, and I may be high, but I don’t understand why people think aliens had anything to do with the pyramids. Like, is it so farfetched of an idea for humans, back then, to know about 3d triangles?? I don’t get it.

If you’re on desktop: BetterDiscord. Supports plugins, and themes (I use an AMOLED theme), which make life so much nicer.
- Comment on Princess of Wales says she is undergoing cancer treatment - BBC News 3 months ago:
With the focus on politics we tend to forget that there are human beings behind the role.
Cancer is shit, and I hope she gets through it well. I don’t say that as someone with Anarchism tattoos (I have two), I say it as a human being. Like goddamn guys.
- Comment on I still don't get why people spend money... there's tons of it for free 3 months ago:
There’s advantages to paying for video games, even single player such as cloud saves as one example. For multiplayer games you get online play with dedicated servers, rather than finding a workaround like LAN tunneling with pirated games.
You literally get nothing special from paying for porn.

Maybe they will introduce him as Daken, after he joins the good guys.
- Comment on Palworld isn’t slowing down, hits 19 million players across Steam and Xbox 4 months ago:
I’ve got a dedicated server I play with a few friends, and I got really stoned on the first day and just kept building a building for our base. Next thing I know I’ve spent six hours on 5 floors (not including an attic space and WiP rooftop garden… need to unlock more building stuff).
- Comment on Why were online subscriptions once rare, but now they are everywhere? 5 months ago:
Less people were tech literate back then, and the ones who were would likely pirate things like music, than consider buying things out of convenience.
When everyone and their grandmas got online, convenience was something more people were willing to pay for.
That’s just my theory though.
- Comment on Amazing advertisement for Threads by Instagram! 5 months ago:
This comment reminds me of the Chumbawamba song “The Day The Nazi Died”, the lyrics are about pretty much what you said.

Have you tried some modern CBD flower, with extremely low levels of THC?
I’m all for THC for myself, however I’ve tried a few offerings of CBD flower and they really give a nice taste reminiscent of the strains they represent. Sort of like the alcohol free beer of the weed kingdom. Thought of giving it a shout.
- Comment on Anon texts a friend 6 months ago:
I loved reading that, thanks for the share. I should’ve mentioned I was talking about weed dealers, though I’m glad that part was filled in haha.
It’s a shame about the breakup but it’s awesome you’re still in touch. Few people I used to toke with who are no longer here, and they were equally as lovely.
- Comment on Anon texts a friend 6 months ago:
Some dealers are cool folk who just like weed. I went to the wedding of one of mine many years ago.
- Comment on When you want to quit drinking 6 months ago:
Most people are just apprehensive in treating it for what it is: drug addiction.
- Comment on Disabled people must work from home to do ‘their duty’, says UK minister 7 months ago:
Here’s hoping. I was born in '88 and remember a time when people’s worth wasn’t tied to their monetary value. What a crazy concept.
- Comment on Disabled people must work from home to do ‘their duty’, says UK minister 7 months ago:
It’s a harrowing thought, that we won’t get a chance to vote this neoliberalist wankstain out for another couple of years.

Shit like this is why I pirate.
- Comment on Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Review Thread - (92/100 OpenCritic) 8 months ago:
This has been how the latest Mario games have felt to me, even that New Super Mario thing they were doing.
They’ve stripped everything out of Mario that made it fun, gameplay wise, for something that just looks ‘pretty’. These games feel more like tech demos than how I felt growing up with Mario games, and I truly and honestly feel that way. This trailer just looks like the same deal, and you’ve confirmed it for me thanks. Such a shame tbh.

Maybe you’re a time traveller! If I were you, I would use this power for the silliest things as long as they’re funny.
- Comment on The truth about Canada 8 months ago:
Or the forced sterilisations of indigenous women… many of these things happening in recent years…
- Comment on Call of Duty will get a new AI-powered voice chat moderation system 9 months ago:
Yee the moderation thing seems good to me, since a lot of times when I get killed I just instinctively shout “AHH, dickhead!!!”.
- Comment on Steve Jobs: The difference of stealing yourself vs being stolen from 10 months ago:
Here in the UK it took over 3 years, after the initial release of the iPhone, for it to even support MMS messaging. Most people around me had Blackberries until Apple actually gave reason for them to consider switching, which took years. It was largely considered to be like the iPods before it: focused on the fashion/‘cool’ aspect of it.
I would not say they brought technology forward, and I’d go as far as to say the strive to bring forward functionalities of the iPhones improved after Jobs (I understand this is a hot take and may result in downvotes, just my opinion based on local experience).
