Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•As I've aged, I'm eternally grateful that I've gotten fatter instead of more politically conservative.
3·28 days agoThe “ghouls” you speak of are just people who were able to afford shit back in the day.
Healthcare, a house, a few vacations abroad per year, kids and their education, all on (for the most part) just 1 job.
If you had all these things, yes, you’d probably be more FISCALLY conservative to preserve whatever amount of money you had saved and use it for retirement
Nowadays that reality has changed and was twisted into something that doesn’t reflect what it was, but the saying remained the same.
Basically shit doesn’t mean what it used to mean and people forgot that language and concepts evolve or erode over time.
Or if we want to make it more visual, on a scale from 0-100 where 0 is full liberal and 100 is full conservative, the needle was moved so far to the right that the “you’ll grow more conservative as you grow older” is now on the left side of the current status quo.

Games@lemmy.world•Electronic Arts has launched EA Advertising, a way for brands to integrate ads in gamesEnglish
17·1 month agoWeirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun.
Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line.
I think that whole genre is called advergames

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can I earn 100$ (before tax) in 24 hours?
28·2 months agoPawn shops or jewelry stores that buy stuff might be options
Odd jobs like washing dishes at short staffed restaurants might also get you a day’s wage if you’re lucky to know some people in the business

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does bradycardia feel good or neutral?
3·2 months agoSeems physiologically unlikely since the process to orgasm should cause a rise in heart rate.
I’m no doctor tho.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does bradycardia feel good or neutral?
3·2 months agoI have occasional episodes of low blood sugar which cause bradycardia. I don’t know if it’s quite the same for others but for me it’s basically as follows
My body goes into panic mode and I’m borderline dizzy and having a rough time trying to focus on anything
Trying to sit down to do breathing exercises or staring at the phone makes the thoughts race while not being able to latch on to any specific thought in particular
This can last up to 2 hours at times
Takes a while before I manage to put 2 and 2 together and balance my sugar (which in short order gets rid of the bradycardia after about 15 minutes)
Teaching babies how to snort powder for breakfast must be exhausting.
No. Mil-spec is an actual certified standard
Military grade is basically just “we made this shit to look like it’d be good as a prop in a movie” no actual standards, just good enough to sorta kinda sometimes work and is made as cheap as possible.
Edit; interesting comment by the other fella in the same reply chain, maybe “military grade” also encompasses stuff that’s made for specific purposes but doesn’t need to withstand rigorous standards, just be good enough for this one thing this one time and not much else
Granted, YMMV depending on country and region.
Paper is cheap. Recyclable. And doesn’t have the somebody “forgot to wash their hands” or “spilled some shit on these” factor that reusable ones would be subjected to

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Canada should ditch English as an official language and become 100% francophoneEnglish
171·3 months agoDecalisse outta here with that bullshit lol
The french language is a mess even on a good day, and should you try to speak it in France they just look at you like you’ve insulted their entire culture before switching to English.
Upvoted.
Still no bitches tho.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come if my dog is sick and I take him to get put out of his misery its ok? On a human its not? How come human laws don't apply to animals? I think of our dog as family and he's one of us?
1·4 months agoAppreciate the kind words. I have had various approaches to try and “treat” this over the course of the last 15+ years, including the ones you named, like I mentioned, not exactly a new phenomena on my end.
If there was a suicide booth or a euthanasia clinic for people who just want to peace out, I’d have visited it 15+ years ago or any day since then, including today.
Also while I understand the notion that access to substances and firearms and whatnot might increase the risks of impulsive momentary courage (or stupidity), an average home and convenience store offer many items which can effectively facilitate the deed, don’t need to be super elaborate with hugging a grenade or slobbering on the barrel of a shotgun for an effective method… granted if the plan is to go out with a bang, who am I to stop it.
Sucks about the tumor though. May you easily outlive the expectations if you so desire

Not really a manual, but more of a 4th wall derailment into a fever dream of sorts? With a lot of reading while navigating a mystery? And some match 3 tower defence action in between?
Titanium court.
For more of a game with an actual manual focus, try - King of the Bridge. It’s a game about chess. Mostly.
