Its a case by case basis. Local news is probably a “yeah ok” or a niche hobby website that isnt an AI generated thinly veiled excuse for amazon affiliate links.

National organisation that still puts most of their shit behind a paywall and bombards me with bullshit. LOL, fuck off.

So people cant access “unrated” 18+ content they found on Google and then have people get mad that the content was NSFW or restricted.

Its essentially a “We dont know what your going to find here and dont want lawsuits” protection.

Oh is this the new “Gaslighting”?

Even in a cradle the “phone brain” is real.

I got a text and opened it, was a link to a YT video from a friend and without thinking I just opened it and let the video play and was like “Hang the fuck on a second, IM DRIVING WHY THE FUCK WOULD I OPEN THAT!?!”

Once I caught myself doing it I was really annoyed at myself.

That depends, is nobody else in your house capable of carrying a bag out to the bin or breaking down a box before it goes in the recycling?

If they are into each other Im out of a fuckin job. Literally and figuratively.

She loaded it, but poorly. Which is a vast improvement on my wifes not loading it at all.

This is how it happens. If they dont staff to meet the demand the game suffers and dies out, if they do in a few years when the player base falls off and they announce layoffs everyone makes the shocked Pikachu face.

Its not a “scam” by definition because you are getting what you pay for. But yeah its predatory as fuck.

A standard Schooner glass is 425ml, which means you can pour a 375ml can into one either with ice or leaving enough room for a beer with a good head.

375ml is very common in Australia.

You arent wrong.

Lemmy is not welcoming to regular people who want to talk about normie shit.

Mobile gaming has become too money hungry. The OG Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies games were enormously fun. They were worth buying. But now I wouldnt touch them with a 10 foot pole with all the microtransactions.

Kimd of funny story though, back when R6 came out I was a seriously good competitive player, but I started to take it a little too seriously and I had pretty bad emotional control skills back then so I decided to cool it and play something else for a while. I decided to play Angry Birds again for a while and just goof. Well I got talking to one of my wifes workmates husbands at a thing and he was like “Im a GAMER!” I said yeah, me too and he got all enthusiastic and asked what I was playing now I said “Ah Im playing Angry Birds right now, I was pla-” and the guy went full 4chan copypasta autist and started giving me a lecture about how that isnt gaming and if I was a real gamer like him Id play something like Siege. “Really, maybe I should get it and you can show me a thing or two” so I got his deets and added him on steam… and I spent an evening casually steamrolling his ass across every map we played while he gradually got less and less condescending over chat as he figured out it wasnt luck and I really was just casually making him look like a total scrub. When he was like “Im gonna go for the night man, have a good one” I just said “Yeah, catch you… Im just gonna play some Angry Birds before bed”

Can of spray cooking oil. Light spray on the windscreen, they hit the wipers and it turns into a cloudy oily mess.

Edit: Its dangerous and stupid, dont do it. I have however had it done to me, its every bit as annoying as it sounds.

Snow Crash is one of the greatest books ever written.

The intro/prologue is a bit slow and dense. I had to convince a friend who got bored and gave up to slog through it and get to the open game.

He loved it by the time he finished it.

Yeah I played it earlier this year and no complaints, it was a great game.

Because the largest gaming GPU manufacturer in the world says so. Unfortunately they have the clout to drive this narrative to devs who will accommodate them because devs dont want their game to look like shit on an Nvidia gpu.

I think that these technologies are still very new. Nvidia arent going to let us know what their skunkworks is up to and what the next generation of the tech is going to look like.

I live in hope.

Or… they parked over to one side to keep the other side of the space open for someone in a small car who is also disabled.

That didnt even cross my mind but, yeah that could actually be the case and they parked over to one side to leave room deliberately.
