Those assholes even took the OK hand gesture. Let’s not let them have this, too!

I just can’t sacrifice entire weekends to reading webcomics like I used to…

Thanks for your thread, I also have to upgrade my Blade 15. It automatically installed Windows 11 which broke the built in monitor (lol). Let me know if you have any success with these comments’ suggestions!

I’ve got a boring engineer friend who’d probably benefit from having a wingman along for an awkward date. I support the three-person date!

Hmmm… I mean, you won’t fit in with Lemmy proper any more than Reddit proper (perhaps worse, lol), but it raises a question to other lemmings: are there any conservative instances?

I’m torn, as on the one hand I’d prefer you not have an echo chamber, but on the other hand I’d like to see Lemmy prosper. There’s a reason instances defederate from one another, and radical idiology is one. Look at Hexbear for an example.

Btw, Lemmy was created by genuine communists (not the hyperbole ones, I mean actual ones) and run the Lemmy.ml instance. While it’s FOSS and therefore plenty of others have run and moderate their own instances, keep in mind that’s our starting point.

Damned car lobby keeping us from high speed rail in Antarctica. Just try looking up walking directions on Google maps, you just know it’ll have you going all sorts of ways because there no pedestrian infrastructure!

This is an image I didn’t know I needed in my life. I shall now share it without any context to a friend. Thank you.

No, especially not these days. But on Lemmy, if you go unfiltered like me, your All channel will in fact have porn in it… sometimes remarkably high up at like 100+ votes.

I’m too much of a purist to edit my feed though (plus who doesn’t want a little porn, as a treat).

Honestly, a perfect metaphor for marriage and kids.

I mean, you’re more or less correct although toxic masculinity feels pretty immature, and certainly more common with teenage boys. Given the number of muscle cars nearly running me off the road these days, I certainly agree they’re not all teenagers, though!

Gotta wonder if that guy who just said he slept with your mom on COD was really 30+ year old “alpha male” lol

It’s a shame, too. I don’t really mind playing with other people, usually PvE, but when you’re just so much more mature than they are the whole dynamic can be grating. PvP though? I’m not sure what’s worse, the shit talkers or the teammate griefers who throw a game for some silly reason.

That said, I met my wife in an MMO and you very much can make genuine connections with strangers on the internet. Just… You know, if you’re hitting 40 and they’re 14, the FBI might want to have a word with you.

Coincidentally, teenagers are also the reason most gamers prefer single-player games.

I know you’re going for creepy buuuut I read it more like a dude who doesn’t get what a painting is.

I think I’d be a terrible park official. I’d say the same things, but always with a winky face.

Bigfoot isn’t real ;)

That’s our official stance ;)

It’s terrible in most scenarios now that I think of it…

Be sure to stay hydrated out on the trail ;)

Please evacuate the grounds, there is a wildfire burning ;)

I feel like this version of Boomhauer just speaks with a thick, almost incomprehensible Scottish accent.

This belongs in a toilet. In a good way.

No, it really doesn’t mean anything tbh. It’s like saying my writing is Badger Badger.

O - Ordinary and tired plotlines.
H - Hardly any variety in vocabulary.
I - Isn’t your best effort .
O - Offensive to anyone with any sense of taste.

Even better with Machamp. Extra arms for extra cuddles.

There are more than 8 billion people on this Earth; chances are at least one dreams of this job.
