Be the change you want to see in the world.

On the point of metric, my partner is more used to Imperial measurements so I’ve just put up little hand drawn conversion charts around the house, mostly the kitchen.

On the point of lib bashing, that’s harder. You can really only have those more nuanced conversations with open-minded people in smaller groups (or just find your local socialists).

You and I have wildly different associations with this construct.

To me it sounds like silly phrasing. Just another version of “doth protest”

Given the number of Americans on here it’s now starting to make sense why I keep seeing commenters get snagged on the word “liberal.”

Liberals are not progressive. At least not except incidentally. I think that’s true everywhere…?

Pretentious though?

z axis moment

Not even killed, but even just made to think their plundering might have consequences.

No wonder he thought he knew better than doctors - his penmanship was for shit.

Yes! I was trying to explain this at a PoE 2 launch party but no one got it. I know Diablo is likely dated in a lot of ways, but unlike with other entries, I remember actually getting scared while playing it. Like it actually felt like overcoming an ordeal.

A Butcher that stalked you from the shadows like a kobold would be terrifying

Yeah this is where I stand on this thread too. Well put.

Yeah that’s exactly the vibe I get but for some reason it makes me feel more charitable towards him. Maybe because it doesn’t trigger like an echo cringe in me because I’m not like that.

(I’m just like directly insecure lol)

/s no see you’re not getting it, you cut all that stuff, but you also volunteer for a couple hours on Sunday so that you get to feel good about yourself. Nevermind how we scale that up to cover everyone you silly billy

Maybe it’s because I know autistic people, but NDT’s obtuse starry-eyed splaining never triggered me as much as it seems to others.

He’s an astrological trapped on a planet. What do you expect

TIL there’s a bingo TLD.

Ohhhh. Thanks

Yeah they play the loser and we play the woke angel, it’s kind of win-win because they get whatever it is they get, and we get to feel smart and superior.

AI has kind of taken the fun out of it, though… like for real, convincing sounding, dog whistle sprinkled, trollish duck speak is so easy to generate, I struggle to care about interactions on main socials. I mean I don’t go there, but if I did…

Oh man yeah, swapping out drivers is such a pain, all the more so when you have no indication of whether your close to the solution or not even, like, on the same planet as the solution

I searched far and wide for a fix to this bug I was having. Finally someone mentioned offhand that they fixed it by downgrading an unrelated package… Which… That couldn’t be it, right?

That was it.

So pretty well. I’m tired from all the buzzing about, but glad I found what I was looking for

Yeah it means things got pretty heated
