I’ve only ever heard it used in pulpy adventure stories/games like Howard’s Conan world (which do admittedly have some if that implicit racism common to fiction from that time). Has it become more explicitly neo-Nazi?

Y’all got any more of them x3 jokers?

“Riker treats objects like women, man!”

if I only had the nerve noive

FTFY.

Anyone who’s ever abused ketamine or DXM knows that dissociating from reality is relaxing.

After all, have you seen reality lately?

I’m inclined to agree with you, but Valve doesn’t often miss

po-tay-to, po-tah-to

I used Sync at first because of the similarity to reddit, but I finally got tired of the obnoxious ads and the hypocrisy of using an ad-supported app to browse a completely ad-free service, so a month ago I switched to Voyager and I haven’t looked back. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than Sync and it’s ad-free.

Depends. The cheap houses, yeah, there’s as fair bit of noise, but you can’t hear everything. From downstairs, you can hear when someone walks across the room above you, but not when they’re walking in other upstairs rooms. And from rooms on the same level, you can hear if someone is talking loudly in the room next door, but not enough to make out what they’re saying unless they’re yelling.

Well-built houses or buildings made for occupancy by multiple families usually have better sound insulation between the rooms/floors/units, so it’s not always an issue.

Edit: the plus side to that is I know all the noises my house makes at night, so as a light sleeper, I know when something is wrong in the middle of the night, and I only need one decent sound system for the whole house, which is great for listening to records while doing housework.

It’s sad to see the sequel get abandoned like this.

Especially when KSP has had such an active and vibrant community for a decade

At least Paul Verhoeven is aware his work is satire. Heinlein seems like he can’t decide whether fascism is a way to discuss interesting ideas or the best possible form of government.

Edit: but Bowie is clearly the best option here.

mmm, yes, indubitably.

he’s expressing himself on a daily basis

I read that as “he’s exposing himself” and I was wondering why everyone is so cool with it.

Duh, I knew that. I was just testing you… ^/s

Aunt and niece, I think. I haven’t watched much of the reboot, but I think that’s what they said at some point in season 1

It’s useful for me to keep track chat conversations with coworkers, but it doesn’t really do anything that Discord can’t. It just has the benefit of being pre-installed on our work computers and it already has everyone’s contact info (plus then I don’t need to juggle multiple Discord accounts or teach my Boomer coworkers about Discord). Especially since I work in a building and location that has little to no cell service inside the building, it’s nice to be able to get ahold of people in a faster and less formal way than email.

But for any of the other advertised functions, it’s trash.

I’m starving at work right now and I thought that browsing Lemmy would be a safe way to pass the time until lunch. Then you come at me with this delicious-sounding disaster and I’m completely wrecked.

I’ve heard from many long time users that those cravings never really go away. But I wouldn’t describe it as “cravings.” I would describe it as rose colored glasses.

I never really thought I had a serious habit, but I dabbled in uppers for a few years before getting diagnosed as ADHD (and then taking Adderall for the last decade), and your words perfectly describe how I think about cocaine. I really did enjoy coke, and I had a lot of good times with my buddies while doing lines all night, but I don’t really “crave” coke. I miss the ritual of it and the rush as it hits your bloodstream, and if the right person offered me some right now, I’d absolutely rip a rail, but I know the experience simply will not be as good as it was then.

Once you know what you’re missing, you’ll always miss it, I think.

As are the Ellis and Lemire runs. The Brian Wood run is better than most anything in modern Marvel, too.

Edit: reading Lemire’s run a day or two after a decent psychedelic or dissociative experience will have you questioning your own sanity in a super fun and slightly terrifying way.

Edit 2: man, everything Warren Ellis touched was absolutely fantastic for a long while. It’s a shame he wound up having more than slightly problematic relationships with fans…

I do go without. The only time I ever play online is playing PvE games with my good IRL friends that live in different countries and states now, and that’s maybe twice a month.

No randoms, no tantrums when we make noob mistakes, no toxicity. When my friends aren’t around, I play single player games or play with bots instead of people. I highly recommend it.
