Maybe try not habitually exaggerating? People who don’t know you are just gonna take you at your word.

The smugness of parents who say people who choose differently are selfish is a great example of how parenthood can make someone a worse person.

It’s not guaranteed you’ll enjoy it or be good at it. That would be a huge gamble to take with my own life, but if there’s a kid involved I’m gambling with their life, too. I could never do something like that in good conscience.

You sound like someone with undiagnosed ADHD.

And you sober up after a while and gain the ability to evaluate whether the experience was worthwhile. I’d try being a parent if I only had to commit to about 12 hours of it at a time.

My parents took me to a lot of places as a kid to make good memories for me. It didn’t work. My whole childhood is mostly just a big blur in my memory.

So nobody can arrive at any conclusions about complex topics? That’s like saying we can’t quantify global warning because climate science is complex.

Alas, the longer the stick is, the floppier it gets.

It’s a nice bonus but too short the be a full game.

Definitely not a real number.

That’s some serious copium, and the other replies are worse. “If you’re not growing you’re dying” is bullshit when you control a large portion of the potential market, but not when you’re a bit player. Being less popular than a manifestly shitty platform like Reddit is not a flex and not a sign of long-term health.

They can’t ban a MAC address. They don’t have any way to find it.

Bowties have been out of fashion for so long they just look silly most of the time. That seems like exactly what you’d want for a character who’s supposed to be whimsical.

Also a necktie doesn’t go with a tophat. For reasons I can’t explain, that kind of incongruity looks more accidental than it does whimsical.

Good for you, but I like being invited to parties.

Guess what? I still use Reddit, too, because content on Lemmy is extremely scarce in comparison. Mastodon is likewise a fringe network. I’ve barely even heard the name Friendica so I can be certain there are approximately zero people I know there. Shopping local is great when local businesses actually put their prices and inventory online, but they rarely do.

For Xitter, BlueSky is drop-in replacement that’s superior in most respects. I’m not aware of any equivants for Facebook or Amazon.

It’s not a lisp. Castilian pronunciation uses the same S sound as for the letter S as speakers from Latin America. It’s only Z and soft C that are different.

So a From Software DLC, basically?

Also not a squash.
