Saying that using an adblocker is immoral is no different than saying that it is immoral to switch the TV channel in a commercial break
  • A reminder that this war isn't new, even before the mass consolidation of TV stations, they got together to standardize commercial break timing so it didn't matter if you changed the channel because you were just switching to commercials on another channel

    Sticky app data
  • Are you sure the app remembered it and it wasn't auto filled by Android, the system will remember usernames and passwords separately from the app data and auto fill

    good question
  • It's a legal override to an invitation. Does the vampire care about the law? I'd say no, a legal authorization to enter uninvited does not qualify as a mystic override to enter uninvited

  • Not me but my fiance, it was the only thing that brought her out of a months long paranoid psychotic episode, intensive medication, involved observation, multiple times a day therapy sessions with actual psychiatrists etc. She hated the experience, it's like jail but with softer furniture. It took about 2 months before they were comfortable signing off on her release.

    This kind of mental health rehab doesn't seem to be what everyone else in here has in mind though, everyone else just seems to be talking about going to counseling rather than actual inpatient treatment

    Popeyes is better than KFC. Change my mind.
  • As much as I'd heard how much better they're supposed to be I was excited that there's one nearby my new job. What a disappointment, I'll give them the win in breading texture but it's bland, the spicy sauce on the spicy chicken was underwhelming and I found out after the fact that they can't get orders correct to save their life

    KFC is not good but they are better than Popeyes

    'The ones that came before' had crystal powered AirPods
  • As a forever GM, this is one of my favorite tropes, it's usually one of the driving forces in my worlds, I tend to prefer narrative power struggle type top level conflict in my worlds and this trope just makes for such fun gameplay.

    Either there's multiple influential organizations vying for control of the ancient tech, or a group of userpers that found it, or the current ruling org is using it, or it was undiscovered until the PCs activated it (a good way to also be able to fluidly integrate a chosen one trope into a group without one single chosen one)

    In a magic world, pure magic gets stale and starts to feel all the same, but replacing some of that magic with ancient tech can add a lot of fun flavor that doesn't need to upset game balance and can provide power advancement in ways beyond experience and level ups.

    A Lemmy instance with no defederation
  • I don't see anything like that, there's no moderating other instances beyond defederating the instance. You can't moderate the Nazis from other instances

    what do tax preparers do for the rest of the year when people don't file taxes?
  • Late taxes, quarterly taxes, early taxes... There's always taxes, but yes a lot of the h&r block types only do tax prep for a few months and another job the rest of the year

    When Erika offered $700k for a home, she didn't know it was 'better suited to demolition'
  • Not only that but the inspection report on a house is a bargaining tool

    My 700 dollar report lead to 10,000 in savings at closing on my house... Worth every penny

    When Erika offered $700k for a home, she didn't know it was 'better suited to demolition'
  • I don't know what it's like in Australia, I'm in the USA and just bought a house nowhere near as expensive as hers. I did my due diligence about the entire process, I knew what it takes to be an inspector, I knew not to trust a seller's inspection. I spent 5 months looking at houses, passing on houses over and over. I found my own inspector that I trusted.

    I appreciate that this girl is spreading awareness, articles like this are how this kind of knowledge gets out there, but there's no excuse for spending almost 1 million dollars without doing at least a basic Google search for "what should I do before buying a house"

    TIL Scarface (1983) was not only shunned by the Oscars, but actually received a Razzie nomination for Worst Director.
  • Rightly so. It's a meme worthy movie, quotable lines, etc, but overall it's a pretty generic movie, a pretty generic overall story, one that's been told over and over. It's full of over acting, over exaggeration, and overdone everything.

    It's a fun movie but it's absolutely on the same level as The Fast And the Furious (1) it's the same thing, fun action predictable story that's been told over and over and it's the over playing of common tropes that makes it fun

    Neither movie is Oscar worthy at all but both are great fun watches with quotable bad lines
