Come have a seat at my D&D table…

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

People like to excuse this by saying you can install resource packs for free outside the marketplace, but to me that makes it even worse. That proves without any wiggle room that the only reason the marketplace is even there is to prey on ignorant kids.

I was going to say this already after reading, but getting to your last couple lines really reinforced it - hey, you’re good people, thanks for weighing in where you do. I see quite a lot of your posts in my daily browsing and they’re almost exclusively all long-form well thought out responses like this one. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you have a bad take about anything. I greatly respect your life experience and your opinions, they mirror a lot of what I’ve seen myself in the world as a generally curious soul.

Just wanted to say that. I’ve scrolled past enough of your comments where I wanted to add a quick “hey, thanks for this” but it wouldn’t add anything to the conversation. This time is no different except that I’ve reached a limit of not acknowledging it out loud where I’m starting to feel bad every time I do so. Thank you for your contributions to our communities.

We’ll probably never meet, but if we did, I think I’d like to buy you a beer.

I’d be surprised if that’s still what it says. They have the edit history, they could roll it back whenever.

I guarantee with 100% certainty that that isn’t what they’re feeding into their AI, as well. You just planted a great big flagpole on all your old content that states “this account was previously run by a real live human” and probably doubled the value of the edited comments for AI training. Bots don’t have a reason to protest-edit their content.

I approve of the attitude, but spez has got us in a vice here where any attempt to damage reddit’s data store is actually just helping them. Best thing to do at this point is to scrub them from memory and just ignore them forever. Unless you’re up for some seriously large-scale corporate sabotage, that’s the best we’ve got.

Yeah but if it weren’t an option we would adapt. Commerce would not grind to a sudden halt.

Metroid Fusion was a banger. I didn’t even own a Gameboy, but my friend did, and I would trade him half my allowance every week to let me borrow it over the weekend. Many many nights were spent up late under the covers exploring BSL Station.

The peak of their problems is the impending fall of international society into fascism and ecological collapse

But they’re not old enough to be expected to worry about that yet.

Dropping the demand for rentals is supposed to address this. But there is going to be a great big gap between “no one is renting” and “we can’t afford to keep this house that no one is renting” where the prices will skyrocket to try and make up costs, which kind of shoots this plan in the foot unless all the newly emancipated renters plan to pitch a tent for a couple years while the market settles.

Came here to say this. Expanse hits the notes of “real people actually live on this ship/station” way more than any other sci-fi I’ve consumed. Fast food, bars, brothels, restrooms, storage and maintenance areas, all of these are specifically called out at most stations.

That’s the fucking Feywild, bro. Those borders aren’t going to stay where they’re at. France needs to look out.

I award you a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This dog looks like it should have a coffee and an earpiece.

Orks subscribe to the tenet of “accuracy by volume”

Even if there isn’t tech to buy I’d immediately make infinite money off the instant private delivery of goods. You would have every drug dealer and government in the world blowing up your phone to get your services.

I want to argue about that being technically Welsh, but I was coming in here to say foie gras and that’s French as fuck so fair enough I guess.

Karma now has a maximum of one hour turnaround time.

Kid puts away the apple and then whips out a budgeting calendar for med school.

Nurse runs away screaming.

I’ll be honest with you chief, I’ve been on Lemmy pretty chronically for the last year and a half and this is the first one of these I’m seeing
