I mean, I'm glad we're growing here, but...
  • It’s worth noting that some users might be attracted to Lemmy due to its smaller, more niche communities and the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a smaller, specialized group. Others might be drawn to Lemmy’s technical aspects, such as its use of ActivityPub and its potential for customization and modification.

    Some users might also be deterred from Lemmy, but please do not let this distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

  • Whatever I heard you'd say today would go in my slides for tomorrow. I would be the cringiest and baddest teacher ever.

    I'm trying to go Deadpool here and break the 4th wall.
  • I was more like thinking we were ALL not commenting on something other but on ourselves. Laying ourselves out on the Lemmy for examination. Rather than being the audience.

    I probably flubbed the analogy.

  • I've met one like you (not as high I'm sure) before. I was a big fan.

    It's always impressive to meet someone in those percentiles; it's the closest thing to a superpower there is.

    1. Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?
    2. Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
    3. Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

    How do folks here handle the feeling that they're just waiting, not serving a purpose, and being a burden on their family as well.
  • We do talk a lot and she, like you, is a caring partner who loves me and doesn't see me as a burden. She is also transparent about how hard it is at times. It's strange to comfort her over something that is caused by a problem I have.

    So much conflicting emotion.

  • A fun show I hadn't heard of, my kids 7-13 love it, goofy but not laugh-out-loud like Bluey. Very tolerable for adults as well.

    Worth a shot if you're looking for something new for the kids.

    Rated G.

    Texas election worker assaulted during early voting.
  • Hey NANDad, if you're interested in being the "Trump gear enforcement officer" I'm sure they'd love to have you! But no, he's not arguing that. I think you understood that, didn't you? He's arguing poll workers shouldn't be doing it.

    Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?
  • I was a dumbass accidentally once. Three urinals, I chose the middle one. A father and son walk in and have a conversation through my head, across the top of me peeing.

    Go for an end urinal guys. Just sayin.

  • When you send a message to someone who has blocked you on iPhone, you get a green bubble. Same as you get when you text an Android user successfully.

    I didn't think that was so hard to understand.

  • Is this one of those IYKYK or is there further explanation of the process involved?

    Sounds amazing and fascinating but I have no idea how it's accomplished.

  • It just seems like it would be a really cool thing to have gills and be able to populate the oceans in the same way we populate the land. We could have houses and shops and vehicles, andgo on walks/swims and just kind of live underwater.

    Start a whole new second species of human here on earth maybe, Who knows?

    What's your pet peeve when it comes to tropes? What bothers you when you see it in a show or a movie?

    I'll go first. Mine is the instant knockout drug. Like Dexter's intramuscular injection that causes someone to immediately lose consciousness. Or in the movie Split where there's the aerosol spray in your face that makes you instantly unconscious. Or pretty much any time someone uses chloroform.

    Any word about Joker from someone who's seen it?

    Sorry, the new one 2024

    Maybe a bit too mellow at times? Somewhat self-indulgent with all the chord changes? But unavoidably good. Really good.

    Some of the rhymes are a bit facile. There's a criticism for you.

    I wake up, I eat, I read a little, I go back to sleep. I wake up, I eat, I read a little, watch a show with my wife, go back to sleep. I try not to eat more than 1500 calories because my activity level is so low I'll get fat if I go above that.

    What's the end game here?

    EDIT, FOR CLARITY:

    I can't work. I need to sleep like 14 hours a day. I'm exhausted all the time. I get fatigued after about 5 to 10 minutes worth of any labor, including things like going upstairs or loading a dishwasher. My hands shake all the time, to where I can almost not clip my own fingernails anymore.

    I work a job for years and retired from it there's plenty of money coming in. I just find myself in a place now where this chronic, undefined illness has taken over my life.

    I don't know the problem, but my laptop consistently displays the wrong time. Right now it is telling me that the time in UTC is 2315 when it's actually 1815. The only way for me to get the correct time to show on my laptop is to set my time zone to Hawaii (I live in the central).

    Anybody know what the hell is going on?

    SOLVED!

    I was setting up an alternate NTP client as suggested by @comador@lemmy.world in their response, after trying their other suggestions in order, and the command kept rejecting because the Windows Time Service wasn't running.

    So I opened services.msc and sure enough windows time services is set to manual and not running. So I said it to automatic and ran it, restarted the computer for good measure.

    And voila, the correct UTC time, the correct local time, everything fixed.

    When cowboys would be sitting on their front porch or at the local bar outside talking with nothing to do, they would sometimes take their pistols and shoot at cow pies or horse poop lying in the street or across the way.

    This became known as "shooting the shit."

    When they were hunting fur, a hunter might point out what they thought was a beaver or another valuable small animal, but upon further inspection would sometimes say, "Aw, that's just bullshit."

    Edit: NOTE, I am the receiver of the texts.

    So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end.

    Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn't want to do anything "weird." She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That's what's going to happen.

    Now, why can't I get iMessage on my android phone? If it's just a messenger app why not make it available for Android?

    I'd use it.

    Not much to it really. The "mystery" didn't develop much, there wasn't a sense of suspense, the "mystery solving" sequences didn't solve much, the acting wasn't good, there wasn't any sense of evil on the satanism.

    Really blah. A waste of time for real horror fans, IMHO.
