I’m bald.

Ancient Roman satirical poet Juvenal wrote that all people care about are “bread and circuses” over 2,000 years ago and it still applies.

I think it mostly comes down to baby duck syndrome. People don’t like using a package manager for programs on their desktop but are fine using an app store on their phone (which might literally be running linux). People simply expect a desktop computer to work a specific way and when things are in different spots and called different things they get upset. I think it’s changing as more companies bake Linux into their product.

Steam Decks running Linux changes people’s impression of it. If a mainstream company sold desktop computers that came with Linux preinstalled I’m sure its use would skyrocket. It’s not that it’s impossible for the average user to understand, It’s that it’s not the default option.

Michael Cera. He does a good job, but the whole time you’re waiting for him to do his “awkward teenager” character.

The sidebar also says “this is an inclusive community” followed by a rule that excludes 50% of the planet.

It’s 40+ year olds calling you names.

That always makes it a bit worse. When I see ignorant comments on other sites, I usually tell myself it might be made by an edgy teenager. Can’t do that on Lemmy. That’s a grown adult praising North Korea…

It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.

What do those have to do with my video games?? I just wanna grill game!

“Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed?”

Please don’t judge my sleep schedule, Nagatoro-san!

Plot twist: he has a foot fetish.

Yes, my friends don’t support me. Thanks random internet person.

I’m the only one in my friend group that watches anime and it led to them making lots of pedo jokes at my expense. I’m not a pedo and my friends know that. It’s just a running joke. And then they make a joke when someone new is around and everyone needs to explain I’m not actually a pedo…

RISE UP, GAMERS!

I literally cannot tell if this is meant to be satire.

Please DO NOT announce to the server when you are going to masturbate. This has been a reoccurring issue, and I’m not sure why some people have such under developed social skills that they think that a server full of mostly male strangers would need to know that. No one is going to be impressed and give you a high five (especially considering where that hand has been). I don’t want to add this to the rules, since it would be embarrassing for new users to see that we have a problem with this, but it is going to be enforced as a rule from now on.

If it occurs, you will be warned, then additional occurrences will be dealt with at the discretion of modstaff. Thanks.

Monologue? He interviewed Elmo!

OwO what’s this? *notices your copy of Mein Kampf*

This gives me AI vibes.

Weird. That works all the time on Pawn Stars

Pinecone? I don’t get it…
