I bit my nails my whole life. One day I tasted lime. I hadn’t eaten anything with lime for 3 days. I had wiped my ass maybe 10 minutes prior. That experience yucked me out of biting for good. Been over 2 years now since I’ve so much as nibbled.
I find this opinion hard to reconcile with Lemmy users’ general stance that Reddit/Google are in the wrong for using comments to train AI without asking permission.
Good for him, glad he’s found what makes him happy and that he has the freedom to do it.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader’s head. There’s also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, “Join our Discord”. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme’s genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools…
Fine, I’ll say it. Doritos and peanut butter go well together.
Terraria was released in 2011, and still gets free updates with similar frequency to Stardew. Minecraft alpha was released in 2010.
Sure, Eric won the cozy farming genre. He is also clearly passionate about the game. Maybe looking out for his own health is exactly why he continues to dabble with the game.
The title seems to imply that it’s a bad thing? Why should he let go of it? Should Minecraft devs let go? Terraria?
Easy, don’t know what to tell you
Yeah that’s very fair. I wouldn’t go so far as to call someone an incel just because they said one thing that an incel may also say. Were he alive today I imagine he’d find incels good material for jokes.
You didn’t say, “can’t be”, thats why I said it’s like you said that.
We didnt call it, “incel” 100 years ago when someone acted like an incel. If someone was making jokes and promoting a mindset at the time that would now be labeled “incel”, then we can retroactively say the ideology they promoted fits our current label.
I am in the same conversation, and I hear what you’re saying. I don’t think you sincerely understood what I was saying the first time.
That’s like saying someone can’t be a homosexual in ancient Rome because the word didn’t exist yet.
Like, in an extremely pedantic way you could say that, but it doesn’t reflect what was actually happening.
Lots of people saying this isn’t uplifting enough. If this was my dad, I’d feel a lot more than just uplifted.
The more people who come around to reason, the more people will be exposed by proxy to a healthy perspective. This is absolutely uplifting, even if it’s tragic we are in this place to begin with.
I wake up, all the chores were done the day before. I have nowhere to be. My wife and I make our coffee and sit outside. The weather is cool enough to be comfortable with a blanket. We sit in silence mostly, observing the changing autumn leaves.
We meander, doing nothing of importance all day and go nowhere until we pick up a deep dish pizza from our favorite local restaurant. We take it home and eat it on out couch while our cats watch enviously.
We go to bed, and fall asleep immediately.
I have all the issues with Discord that you mention, but struggle to find a better alternative. Do you have any recommendations?
Pick one
I upvoted your comment for being insightful, not trying to dismiss what you’re saying. I get where you’re coming from, and I agree that what you’re saying is likely true for most businesses, but there are other people who’s reality of conversations they have been involved with resulted in being fired unfairly.
