Amen, my phone doesn't do a thing to draw my attention unless someone is actively calling me or I have willed it do so for an extremely limited amount of time.

It feels so natural to toss my phone aside and not touch it again for a couple hours, it seems weird to me there are people that, like, cannot do that without anxiety

LAST NIGHT'S BODY COUNT ROUNDED OUT TO A SOLID N' STURDY THIRTY, TEN OUTTA HEYWOOD!

Chiming in as someone who actually owns a few different anime on DVD/blu-ray.

My whole thing is that I like good media. Anime is a medium. There's good anime out there. As many have already said, those're few and far between because the vast majority of people working in the medium seem determined to pigeonhole it as genre trash and perv shit.

I kinda stopped watching anime early in my 20s. The late 00s into the 10s seemed like the absolute worst period of time for worthwhile anime being made. I've sat through a few more current big-name ones since then and shit hasn't improved.

So yeah, I don't hate anime as a medium, I just hate like 99% of the medium's content

I'm so glad someone added a single dot over the word "fuck" so I couldn't read it and get offended, whew

I would hesitate to call our foes "Intelligences," but they are most certainly Abominable, brother.

"It's a tragic day, four days into the school year," Gahler said at a news conference.

Fucking grim

It's not like staffers from the same campaign working directly under the head guy at the moment assaulted a female army officer or anything, don't be ridiculous

I listen to a small fan generating white noise and sometimes my cat purring

Now that you say that, yeah, I do hear that kinda shit from my older and, ironically, youngest coworkers. I've given up arguing with them.

Union worker myself. I am also baffled by the strong conservative undercurrent in my fellows' views. Don't know how they sustain it.

God, or worse, a conversation around the conversation you're actually speaking in order to have

Their FAQ page for the holiday hole was fucking incredible. "The Onion on a good day" level comedy

Yeah, right? I have a diagnoses both mental and physical that qualify me as "disabled," but I haven't seen a box I get to tick anywhere yet that says "super disabled"

I mean they probably have "Hulkster in Heaven" too!

Yeah, I don't think we've had a real "natural state" since we discovered agriculture. Our whole thing is kinda setting ourselves above/apart from nature

Same with my kitty cat, she curls up tight against my chest, in my arms 💕 she is snuggled there at this exact moment, even, since I'm putzing around on lemmy instead of getting out of bed just yet

Am an American in my mid 30s. Recently bought my first and almost certainly only house. There is so much stuff about homeownership that feels like a luxury vs renting.

I'm a somewhat tall guy and my house's only bathtub is too small to do this. God knows when if ever I'll have the money to renovate that.

Hey, Trump is both of those things too, per courts of law. You must be pretty broken up he survived the attempt, huh?

For real, this. I'm playing everything from nice fluffy casual games to M rated horrorshows and I don't remember the last game I played that had a voiced sex scene. A few horror titles or indie games have certainly included sex or even sexual assault, but not voiced.

BG3 is fine and good as noted by another commenter (haven't actually played it myself), so what games are you guys playing?
