Me with an inclined plane: “Challenge accepted.”
- Comment on During the Obama Admin I saw a lot of the W Bush Miss Me Yet bill boards traveling the country. How come one or many people put up one of Obama that says, Miss Me Yet? 5 days ago:
Because Democrats are less petty?

Way ahead of you.

Exactly.

In her usual U.S. Pacific North-West accent: “I… don’t know where that came from.”
- Comment on Always table talk here. Is it wrong to Steal from a Major Corp without harming anyone or is it wrong to steal from a mom and pop shop not harming anyone? Both still a crime but how should i be punish? 2 weeks ago:
It’s downright laudable to “steal” from major corpos. Whether it’s ethical to steal from a mom and pop shop is an “it depends” kind of situation. (I definitely know of small local businesses in my area that are run by absolute shit-bags.) And punishment isn’t the right way for society to deal with antisocial behaviors among its inhabitants. (Not that stealing (particularly by a pro-capitalist’s definition) is necessarily “antisocial”.)
- Comment on If someone legally changed their last name to a last name a soap opera character has, how would you feel? 2 weeks ago:
Pardon me while I go change my name to “Starbuck Washburne Atreides”.
- Comment on When will gas stations start selling rotisserie chicken? 2 weeks ago:
There are definitely gas stations out there selling rotisserie chickens. I’ve never seen it. Never specifically heard of that being a thing. But there’s no way there aren’t any gas stations out there somewhere that are.

You just described me sober.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
- What makes you think it’s ending? Can you link to a particular news article in particular? I’ve seen nothing to that effect. Even the ceasefire collapsed immediately after it was announced.
- What disruptions do you think Trump got? Again, I’ve heard nothing indicating that.
- I don’t think Trump is exceedingly unintelligent per se. He’s pretty talented at manipulating people. He’s more like… extremely immature emotionally and short-sighted. And definitely not book-smart. Maybe even illiterate. Think -1 INT, -4 WIS. (Compared to, say, W. who was more -2 INT, -1 WIS. Or Palin who is -4 INT, -3 WIS. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.)
I think you’re getting downvotes because you’re saying the war is ending and Trump’s getting what he wanted out of it and nobody knows where you could possibly have gotten those impressions.

It honestly seems like there may be an overall negative correlation between how safe a drug is recreationally and how legal it is to obtain/use it.

- Comment on How come Dish Network or other satelite services. Do not allow you to create a playlist? Like if I record 5 different episodes of Sunday Morning why cant I just put it on play and it goes thru each? 5 weeks ago:
You can contribute that way. (Or with money, for instance.) And good on you if you do. (If you contribute in a way that’s actually beneficial, at least. I don’t mean to accuse you or anyone in particular, but of course there are low-effort PRs and such.) But it would be pretty antithetical to the spirit of FOSS to deny you the use of the software or access to the source code if you don’t. Which is part of the beauty.

You think they give even one single fuck how much customer satisfaction you have?
Remember how folks used to say “if you’re not paying, you’re the product”? (That, of course, was never actually true. There’s tons of, for instance, FOSS software out there that legitimately has no ulterior motives or strings attached, potentially aside from copyleft obligations that you don’t try to turn FOSS into proprietary software. But it was true to a certain point.)
Well now that’s true even if you are paying. To them you’re just a revenue source to be milked. They don’t care if you’re happy. Switching to a competitor probably won’t help any, because all their competitors probably have similar problems. You might get lucky and find a provider whose issues aren’t as much of an issue for you specifically. But the headache of switching is stressful enough that shopping around may well not be worth it.

Just that I wouldn’t have bought a WiiU if I wasn’t misled to believe there was going to be a WiiU-exclusive Zelda game. It was a bait-and-switch.
- Comment on Anon predicts the future 1 month ago:
It’s surprising to me how many gamers out there believe deep in their bones that Nintendo is complete assholes while being completely blind to how just-as-evil Microsoft and Sony are in their console dealings.
All three can be (and are) simultaneously evil, if different flavors. Nintendo’s litigious. Microsoft’s got all the bullshit in the OP. And Sony does that thing where they sell you a disk but what’s on the disk doesn’t work and they make you download the whole game after you put the disk in your system.
(Bonus: Nintendo marketed BotW – though not by name – as a WiiU exclusive title before they even released the WiiU; and then they proceeded to dual-release it for WiiU and Switch. I’m still salty about that. Microsoft cut corners, causing the red ring of death thing. And Sony did that thing with the PS3 where they announced they’d support Linux and reneged after selling it to people. And all these examples are just what I know off the top of my head.)

Fortunately ActivityPub is a fully open standard and Lemmy (and Lemmy-UI) are FOSS and can be forked if necessary.

Hey Netflix, I have an idea for a show.
Literally anything that doesn’t mention AI at all. There’s enough vomit on my TV already.

Well, you can look at the description of the video where it says among other things “I use some form of AI application to make all my videos and have for the last 3 years”.
- Comment on I am not even close to MN but this banger is going on my playlist. 3 months ago:
As others have mentioned, the video you posted is (largely/mostly?) AI-generated content. And I think a fair amount of Lemmy users (like myself) are pretty rabidly disdainful of anything AI-generated and will object to anything AI-generated that’s posted. (Rightfully so IMO.)
