- Comment on Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games? 7 hours ago:
I’d be surprised if that wasn’t what prompted the question to begin with.
Calling them “games” paints a certain picture that TTRPGs don’t exactly fit in. Someone who might be up for a game, may not enjoy RPGs, and vice versa.
There really should be another word.
- Comment on Is it worth investing if I can only contribute $50 a month? 1 day ago:
Investing accidently helped me save. If I have money in an account, and I need to use it, I will, but by buying stocks and bitcoins, I don’t have that money, I have things that will increase in value that I can sell for money. And there have been a few desperate times that I had to do that, but my brain is far more unlikely to take a hypothetical future loss, than spend all my money today.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
As someone with personal experience with interacting with people, I have to disagree. Nobody has EVER done anything like this, and it does not require a word.
- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 3 days ago:
You hit the nail on the head.
We want to keep him safe, and that person saying otherwise proves one of my points. On paper, it DOES look shady or unfair, but nobody knows the whole situation, and sorry, you’re not going to, because that’s his business, not yours.
- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 4 days ago:
No, he doesn’t have the capacity to take care of the basics to keep it. Playing the utilities, taxes, maintaining the property, etc.
- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 4 days ago:
My brother is very smart, but he has other disabilities that nobody can see. My mom has already planned on willing his house to me so he can continue to live there.
On paper it may not look fair, but the alternative would lead to him being homeless, so it would be unethical to do otherwise.

The remote bidet feature could be fun at parties!

Yeah, I was a little late the other day for my daughter’s appointment, but my coworker needed to duck out early another day because they had a maintenance guy going to their place.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
Here’s a slightly different spin on “computer games”
I have Boardgamearena.com in the background of my browser. I often have a few board games going at once. You take your turn, and it alerts you when it’s your turn again. There are also games you can play solo if you don’t wait to wait around for others.

What the fuck?
- Comment on What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting? 1 week ago:
I haven’t really heard anyone talking about it IRL, but that’s not a very big sample size.
- Comment on How can I become independent in life? 1 week ago:
Are you seeing a doctor about your depression? Therapy and medication could be a great “jump start” to getting on track.
Roommates can make or break a living situation. If you have a good friend that has complimentary strengths, they can help out with the tasks that you have trouble with, but be sure to really step up and help out in the areas that are a challenge for them.
Good luck and best wishes!
- Comment on Related to the recent question: A family member has told me that my inheritance after they're gone is for becoming a live-with landlord. Is that ethical? 1 week ago:
You’re FAR too hung up on the term “landlord”.
It is possible that they could spell out the terms in their will, and put the money in a trust that can only be used in certain conditions. There’s also a good chance that they didn’t, and we’re just giving you some good advice on how to turn that lump sum into an income.
Even if they did spell it out in the will, There are no terms on what you must do with the duplex. You could fix it up and flip it immediately, or tear down the divider and just have one big house all to your self.
Although, I wouldn’t think any less of you if you did rent out half of your home. We gotta do what we gotta do.

- Comment on How to get over my reddit ""addiction""? 2 weeks ago:
Just to echo everybody else, uninstall the Reddit app. Put a Lemmy app where your Reddit button used to be.
It’s been over a year and a half for me, I’ve only been to Reddit a few times since then, and it was to find specific information.
- Comment on Why are Republicans struggling in Swing State Elections? 2 weeks ago:
You and me both, but I heard that all political posts on social media came from 10% of users, I don’t know how accurate that is, but even if it’s much lower, that’s still a large majority of people who just have “more important things” to pay attention to.
- Comment on Why are Republicans struggling in Swing State Elections? 2 weeks ago:
From what I’ve seen, most people don’t care about their parties “agenda”. They usually just hear about one of two issues and take a stance on that.
A majority of the Trump votes, especially the ones that didn’t vote down ballot, were pissed at the status quo and voted against “normalcy”.
They don’t know what sort of crazy shit Trump will bring, but they know they don’t want any more of what they have now.
I’m not saying it’s the right stance to have, but it’s understandable.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You may want to edit your question, because it doesn’t make much sense.
Most PEOPLE do not want to talk about their sex life with strangers, and since homosexuals are PEOPLE, the same applies to them.
- Comment on Can governments compell mobile app developers to push out targeted updates as a privilege escalation or pivot point on a "suspect's" device? 2 weeks ago:
I would bet that some devs could be persuaded by some governments, but I don’t suspect that any major company would do that without MAJOR benefits to themselves.
Which means, yes, it’s probably happened, and will again, and they were probably Chinese or Russian apps.

- Comment on Just read the Taliban banned women from becoming Nurses and Midwifes. Is there anything they can actually do besides being just fertilization/baby making centers? 2 weeks ago:
Women can do ANYTHING! (That a man doesn’t want to do)

The last few games I was looking forward to have all been pretty disappointing.
