Except for the one successful one. We just celebrated its birthday actually.

On mine, you can just pull them off

What is lemmy even about man

I don’t and I deal with the consequences. I used to live with a roommate that would “rinse” the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher…with soap and water and a sponge. Brother you’re just washing the dishes. That’s why he used paper plates and utensils all the time.

Personally, I think influencer/hustle culture, parasocial relations, personal “brands” are a rot on society coming from the worst parts of capitalism. The influencer benefits from alienation and I think that’s wrong. I don’t think an OF model is any worse than any other influencer. I also think a lot of OF models didn’t feel they had many options when they started. But the really successful ones could get out or be less parasocial or something.

Fun fact, in Japan, they drive on the left. As a result, they also walk on the left on the sidewalk. However in Osaka, they walk up stairs and use escalators “international style” on the right. They still walk on sidewalks on the left side. The rest of the country is not like this.

I’m from the US southeast so I’ve seen plenty of these people. IMO, they should be avoided. There are plenty of devout Christians that are quiet about it and they’re fine. They’re often good people actually. The ones that are extremely forward about it are performing for their in-group. The in-group is all that matters. Since you aren’t in it, you don’t matter to them. At best, they’ll hang out in order to proselytize to you. I find them condescending and intentionally disconnected from the outside world. Effectively, they’re in a cult.

I mostly don’t. Maybe this isn’t the kind of answer you were interested in. I think memorable experiences are transient and are more beautiful the more fleeting they are. The more I try to immortalize some moment, the less I feel I’m able to enjoy it in the moment. There are some exceptions. I keep recipes in Google keep. Most of them I just know how to make but I might need my memory jogged for a measurement or temp setting. I also have a small notebook I use as a gym journal. “Journalling” seems like a stretch for the chicken-scratch numbers, though. It’s mostly so I know how much weight to use next time I go.

It doesn’t matter. Nobody is going to be convinced by anything you say. The protesters won’t be especially hurt by a really good burn. You could yell gibberish into the megaphone. The important thing is that you are there, loudly showing your support for the drag queens.

I’ve never been a big fragrance guy. When I found out about people like you, I decided to just go fragrance free. If it’s not a big deal to me and it gives a few people headaches to be near me, might as well just not do it. There are some tangential benefits. My deodorant irritates my armpits less now. My hair oil used to irritate my skin if it got on my forehead. Now it doesn’t.

I don’t drink at home. I’ll let loose when I’m out with friends but at home I don’t drink. I had a period of my life where I was very close to becoming an alcoholic. It wasn’t until a recovering alcoholic (using extremely broken English) suddenly seemed very concerned with me and told me I could talk to him any time that I realized where I was heading. A couple years later I messaged him to tell him how important that moment was to me. I don’t even know if he could read English well enough to get the point but I hope he understood.

Dropout is pretty good. I don’t think they’ve really been around enough to enshitify yet though. They’re on big up-swing. During that time they’ve been cheap, audience-focused, and fair to their cast and crew. They’ve already raised the price at least once. If they get some loans/investors involved or have a bad year, I could easily see them becoming more like other streaming services. I hope I’m wrong.

A good bicycle is what I was going to put. I was able to get rid of my car and dramatically cut my spending on rental bikes and public transit.

A method of optimizing parameters for manufacturing bearings. Specifically the raceway superfinish process.

There are several machine parameters (oscillation speed, stone pressure, time, etc) that go into the superfinish process. The only output is surface roughness. I created a way to optimize for a low roughness. The best part was that once you set it up, you can just start printing out worksheets and handing them to engineering techs to get some more data collected.

Before I did this, superfinish parameters were considered a bit of a black art and were only adjusted when there was a problem. This means they were always as bad as they could possibly be.

Ideally white collar crime wouldn’t even be possible.

I’ll bite.

I believe most crime is fundamentally due to poverty. I don’t believe you can simply enforce your way out of crime. That would be extremely expensive and wouldn’t do anything about the poverty. You’d be better off giving the police funding to the poor communities. Enforcement would be unequally dished out to poorer areas, creating an oppressive atmosphere. So when people say it’s something a dictator does, it’s because it ignores the fundamental problem in order to jump straight to aggressive policing. Aggressive policing is something a dictator does.

Silksong has had me by the balls since it came out. Truly a masterpiece

Pixel Dungeon if you like turn-based dungeon crawler rogue-likes.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon for the same thing but more fleshed out.

That’s not true. Some of the original libertarians were socialists. I had a libertarian phase once upon a time. One thing that was very apparent was that nobody could agree on what libertarianism meant. The only thing they seemed to agree on was that the government should be smaller. The maga movement has adopted the libertarian label for some reason. Despite the government, especially the authoritarian elements being expanded. In the current climate, anybody that proudly claims to be libertarian is either pretending the meaning hasn’t changed, or is a maga idiot. Even Penn Jillette, one of the most outspoken libertarians, has since shed the label.
