“accidently” step on it.

Ai is great for EA slop. A “new” sports game every year that is the same as the last with some stat changes.

It’s not specifically nordvpn. It’s just certain VPN ips in general.

I use proton VPN and about half the time I can’t post without changing where the VPN is connected or just disconnecting.

but I tend to just not bother engaging when it tells me vpns not allowed when I try to post- I’m not jumping through hoops to use social media.

That’s why I love Thrilling Adventure Hour so much. Its funny and in the style of old time radio.

There’s plenty of high production podiodramas but they are more like a movie to me than old radio dramas.

I believe they did that for quite a few shows too.

I would imagine so - smell alone probably gives them a pretty accurate idea, but people also pet differently (probably not as uniquely as a fingerprint but differently enough)

Some people are heavy petters some light, some only pet in one direction, some only pet certain areas (head only, flank only, etc.) And so on.

Looks like you’re using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can’t remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)

I’ve had success in the past tracking that way.

At least with a brick and mortar store you actually know what you’re getting*

*to a degree. You still won’t know how well it will actually hold up in the real world - but you can at least get an idea of it’s construction (Materials/stitching and so on) that you don’t/can’t get via an online shop (especially with all the bogus reviews nowadays)

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

If they’re suffering let it end - if they can still maintain a good quality of life let them live… I’m also for human euthanasia.

No matter the amount of love - if the pain is unmanageable or their quality of life is shit let them go.

Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.

There is very little engagement on Lemmy besides in a few communities. What little engagement there is - is driven by a few users.

Even broad conversion topics get very little engagement.

I get not everyone wants to be a topic “starter” (i know I don’t), but they can’t even bother to either:

1: just post a tiny comment (look at “what are you watching” in the movies / TV subs on piefed.Social; seems like a real easy topic for anyone to engage in and yet there’s only ever like 10 posts and zero upvotes)

2: upvote topics or posts; While the points don’t matter - they still show and promote engagement.

Its honestly rather frustrating.

In single-player games I occasionally “lightly” cheat.

Using “infinite” mods or unlock “everything” mods just ruins all the fun for me.

But unlock a specific thing or get a small amount of rss type cheats that reduce grind I like.

Both.

I tend to wash the larger stuff by hand so it’s not wasting so much space in the dishwasher.

Lol. So full of yourself. No one is trying to bring “seniority” into this.

Saying you sound like a teenager who just discovered drugs is not the same as saying you are a teenager* (*so shut up - the adults are talking?)

No you really didn’t “try to hint at it”.

Honestly you sound like a teenager who just discovered drugs and really enjoys them so you went down the research rabbit hole.

And there’s nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but everything you said sounds like it’s coming from an arrogant/privileged place.

Ive been lucky enough to never have a bad trip. Im unlucky in that I’ve only been able to trip a handful of times.

Ooo it’s finally on steam early access!

Yes it’s better in a group. Or at the very least just playing on a multiplayer server is better imo than single player. (At least until npcs are in)

Night shift? Try on call 24/7

I’m not gonna lie, I like how that wall looks lol.
