Lol that was my thought but someone already explained it in another comment. That said, maybe there’s a signed copy of the Book of Mormon (well, rather the ‘transcriber’, lol)… or oh oh, or maybe Dianetics. I bet that’d be worth a ton.

Looks like quite a few completionist achievements, too. Totally my thing (with a guide) although people who don’t wanna grind for a day at endgame might just want to go for the “beaten” status. Lol

That’s wild, I was just thinking of a replay. Do you know about RetroAchevements? The achievements kind of give me goals which have helped me actually finish these games.

Slimegirls beg to differ.

You think there are multiple fungirls, but is really just one very large fungirl and the fungirls you see are just their reproductive organs.
- Comment on This is WAR. 6 days ago:
Sounds like a fun base rates problem, much like when you say airplanes are much safer than cars, etc. I wonder how it breaks down by vehicle, though; 2% might be cars as a whole, but trucks vs suvs vs sedans change that up and trucks, having the highest rate of dui and accident rate (after accounting for urban density) you end up with maybe a comparable 4% rate with forklifts.
None the less, respect the forklift. They may do as many injuries per capita as an F150 but at a fraction of the speed! And in new and exciting ways!
- Comment on Who got that landlord money? 6 days ago:
We manage at 50%, but we don’t have car payments or student loans and the alternative, renting, is much higher. With a mortgage, you also get equity and pay down principle, so it’s not just a place to sleep. It’s like 25% to bank and 25% into nonliquid savings.
Renting at 50% or higher is a full loss, though. And honestly, if you have plans to travel, have kids, or just expensive hobbies, it really eats into your ability to fucking live your life.
- Comment on Who got that landlord money? 1 week ago:
The fucked part is to buy a house, there’s a debt income limit because nobody thinks you can afford the payments otherwise. That limit is much lower than 2/3, a bit under 1/2 when I bought (and we were forced to buy points to lower interest to get the payment there, which could have been down-payment instead).
It’s all very fucked.

Look, how I wish to honor Steve Buscemi is my own business.
- Comment on SNAIL PRO TIPS 2 weeks ago:
My thought too. Snails in my area are an invasive species and there’s very little that can eat them. They serve no good purpose and compete with the native species, which actually are probably endangered.

Yes, but can Doom be played via birdsong?

Hey now, we don’t know if they’re taking out a substantial loan or selling his car to pay for this extremely expensive computer. Lol
- Comment on Now that I've got my conclusion, it's time to go look for evidence that only supports said conclusion! 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t terribly believable; I’ve seen some wildly bad takes in “the literature” because there’s just so many for-profit journals that you get a ton of junk science. That, or you find something in the archives from 50 years ago.
Now, if the professor is any good they’ll put restrictions on even that but the bar is so low we’re just happy to see a citation that isn’t a blog or made up by AI.

I think the feely people prefer the term “holistic.”

For a second I was worried this was an Unpopular Opinion post but then I realized no one has ever actually thought this ever.
- Comment on Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction 3 weeks ago:
If I saw it today, probably yes, lol. I saw Gluten-Free on a package of strawberries recently, though.

I couldn’t even tell what they meant by that panel, lol. My first thought was the “non-gmo” labeled sea salt I saw once that blew my mind.

I’m sure they’re populated… by something. Roaches, probably.

Right, but he could have done the funniest thing ever and just left those kids there.

Oops, I failed and he killed another healthcare CEO. Oh well!
- Comment on Los Angeles paid $400M+ in 4 years to people hurt/killed on the streets. LA spends more money paying off people injured or killed by its street designs than it spends making streets safer. 4 weeks ago:
Carbrain is strong, but they’re still trying to invest some in public trans. Unfortunately, I saw recently they’ve been pushing a public Uber alternative as a sort of last step after using a train, which I can’t imagine helps.
I kind of understand why-- LA is very spread out. I was told or was because of earthquakes that we couldn’t build high but that doesn’t seem to be true anymore.
If it’s any consolation, we haven’t taken the “one more lane” thing too far, there aren’t 12 lane freeway monstrosities at least.

SMS has a character limit, although most modern phones that still use SMS will at least give you a 3/3 thing and send all three texts at once.

This sounds like something out of Rusty Lake to me, but needs more owls.

Lol, people have post-reddit PTSD if they think you’re a shill. Maybe if/when Lemmy hits the mainstream but man, we’re so off the radar most marketers have no idea this place exists.
It’s a waste of money unless you’re advertising something for Linux and/or communism… which would be a bit of a paradox, lol

I mean, I do like that new electronics smell. Not sure if it pairs well with the mountain dew reduction, though.

Not even just that, my stomach would make that weird gurgle sound and I’d be done for.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 1 month ago:
You know, use of long dash is the same kind of tell as an image having 6 fingers. Not impossible to find in human interactions but generally very rare, especially in online conversation. (I’m not even sure if my phone can do a long dash, just these fellows: —).

Sometimes the alt text makes the image even better. I saw one from Shen comics the other day that went above and beyond on that alt text.
