Broke mine last year, took a surgery and 6 months of physical therapy to get close to normal. I also couldn’t sleep for a month, every little movement would hurt. Broke it by wrecking on my bike

I owe a debt of gratitude to Gene and the entire crew. I was doubting my religion, and felt like I was losing my moral compass in the process. I was asking myself what type of person I wanted to be. The values that TNG showed me helped me in the 10 years since — being open to other cultures and their beliefs (Half a Life), to hold truth above others, and nothing can break that (Chain of Command), and to live my life more open, honestly, and fully (Inner Light)

I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will–and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain. -Gene Roddenberry

Basically Stealth IRL.

BTW, fucking coolest, most underrated movie ever IMO

I spent about $600 with epic. All of that was on fortnite skins. None of it on games.

Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next

Well, we definitely didn’t give them the option to keep their homes that they got kicked out of

Well, except sex IRL with someone you love amirite

Netflix does have good shows, but they’re just so few and far in between. I stopped my subscription about a year ago, and haven’t missed it. I’ll resubscribe this month to watch Fall of the House of Usher, then unsub again just because there’s nothing to watch.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if others are doing this, the streaming companies catch on, and we pay a bulk amount for a season a la early iTunes again

I would get so incredibly sick when playing the original wolfenstein and Doom. But I could play halo for hours. Really weird

Everyone at my work is complaining about the commute with RTO. I have a 15 minute bike ride to work on a secluded trail, I dont care

Time to pick up skiing. I did in my mid 20s, haven’t looked back

Holy shit never expected to see this comment on lemmy. I worked on magma in the early days of it

Yea I’m less into the competitive aspect more into the community. People who race just really love riding their bikes. I like office park crits more than anything just because it has a grassroots feel, and you’re always racing the same people so it’s really just an excuse to get together. I’ll average 14-16 on commutes nowdays because I’m not on an aggressive bike and don’t have my aero kit on and stuff, so don’t feel like you’re doing bad. I don’t like going over like 35, it’s scary… 45 is pretty insane

Same! It eventually led to racing, which has opened up a fun new world I didn’t know existed.

Before covid I remember thinking averaging 20mph on my 10 mile commute was impossible, i was struggling to hit 19. A couple weeks ago I averaged over 21mph for 100 miles.

I only had to read the first sentence to know I agree. Videogames are a much better alternative to watching tv

Remember Google AMP? And Google was proxying sites that implemented it? That shit would have been so abused if it had reached as critical mass as Chrome

Strange New Worlds is pretty good. I’ll probably cancel when I’m done watching it though.

That’s not like the bay area at all. San Francisco, yes 100%. But not the whole bay area.

Venture out. You will be really, really bored. But it will be different than that.

Wow I’ve been in tech a long time, but only knew it from Macromedia. Crazy
