well yeah, deep rock galactic is a video game, not a movie

duh

i understand the appeal as a minigame, like it’s literally a minigame in Deep Rock Galactic, but the fact that people genuinely play it as its own game is… bro just play minesweeper

this addon has made my search experience so much better

it’s literally just mechanical looms all over again, this shit happens over and over and over and at no point do people learn that this will continue as long as we allow capitalism to persist.

the most fucked up part about this is that it’s not like regular people account for more than a fraction of the AI usage, most of it is just other companies using it to replace workers or just… paying for AI usage instead of fucking paying a stock photo company instead…

i hate corporations i hate corporations i hate corporations

git commit crime

and this is why i get so tired of people saying it’s bad to have a big instance like mastodon.social, like bro do you fucking want the platform to be successful or not? it seems like people just want a small isolated place to circlejerk each other rather than something globally useful.

this is such a nonsense argument, people navigate email just fine despite every single platform sending emails from their own domain.

POLICE, HE RELEASED HIS SOFTWARE FREE FOR ANYONE TO USE, SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT

the irony of their post is absolutely off the charts lmao

i have literally been waiting TWO FUCKING YEARS here in sweden, and now i’m finally getting referred to a private clinic in november, and then presumably i’ll get to actually go there sometime in december.

wow golly fucking gee i wonder why people are killing themselves, what a mystery huh, man such a brain tickler.

this is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, what society really needs is cheaper gasoline

that still feels like a massive insult to tony stark, like stark did quite specifically save the universe didn’t he? pretty sure he’s supposed to be the quintessential hero who is very much imperfect but still ultimatly does good.

i don’t get why they’d do stuff like that in general, you just… don’t fucking refer to living people in media that’s set in the future lol, precisely for this reason!

it’s also kind of cringey to talking about currently living people because it feels like such a cheap grab at being relatable, “ooooo we’re talking about [person who is currently popular], that’s right, someone from your specific time period is relevant in the future!”

the one way you can do it in a decent way is to have it be an offhand remark, and even then you better be quite certain that they’re not going to suddenly start lighting orphanages on fire 5 years after everyone’s seen your production.

The way i think about this is that it is an excuse, but it’s not an excuse to not try to work around it.
We all do our best, and for some that really isn’t a lot and that’s FINE! But there are also probably ways you and others can find that enable you to do a whole lot more, which benefits everyone.

As a really really concrete example: I simply do not have the mental energy to constantly take proper care of my teeth, so i don’t try to hold myself to that standard since it would eat away at me and make me fucking miserable.
However i also don’t just give up, instead i do my best to brush when i have the energy for it, i take flouride pills to strengthen the teeth, i try to avoid sweets and stuff that harms dental health, and i literally just swish some water around my mouth every time i drink (this dislodges the food scraps and adds a little bit more flouride to the teeth).

Yeah it’s not as good as properly brushing my teeth regularly with toothpaste, but it’s the best way i’ve found to take care of my teeth while still being mentally sustainable, and that’s all you can ask.

100%, either outcome is positive: either i immediately learn that i want nothing to do with the person and that being around them would be detrimental to me, or they’re a decent person and can use the knowledge to make things easier for everyone.

“hi, just so you know, i’m autistic and have ADHD so i’m going to be staring at everything BUT your face while doing weird stims, and my leg WILL be bouncing and i might need to take a break to just go outside and jump my excess energy away. just a heads up so you know what’s going on and that i’m not trying to make you uncomfortable, and i don’t need to feel miserable by trying to mask these things away which would inevitably lead to me avoiding you”

Why the fuck is that not a valid excuse? It can be impossible to find sufficient support and adjustments to enable yourself to reliably arrive on time, saying shit like this is a great way to make people who are already struggling feel even more worthless, jesus christ.

Yeah sure, you can’t expect people to literally always be able to accomodate every struggle everyone may have, but to just summarily say “deal with it” is so heartless…

gods, imagine saying this to a normal user

“what the fuck is a file?”

skeleton race

keep the character creators, but only let the player use a randomizer button and a silliness slider.

they’re apparently 7cm wide including the legs, so more like the size of a mouse and even then it’s being a bit generous.
