Nope, nothing. But he sure does like to talk about what he's going to do but never about how he's going to do it, or why he didn't do it last time.

I got accused of this the other day. Some random on Steam added me because he liked my profile pic. I was bored and decided to humor him. Two sentences in and he's like "What's with the ChatGPT sounding responses?".

I honestly didn't know how to react to that.

I liked the quote from Dr. Hibbert on the Simpsons:

"You know what they say, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

"Oh ho ho ho, no... It's made you weak as a kitten!"

Holy shit, I'm putting this one on my ~~Steam~~ LinkedIn showcase!

Time to sue for Libel. DJT could only dream of having lawyers as good as Taylor Swift has. I sense another multi-million dollar money judgement coming.

When your local chain restaurant/fast food joint starts going off-menu to entice people to come in, you know a business is struggling. Seeing Churros on the menu in a Mexican establishment is perfectly normal. Seeing Churros on the Subway menu is a bit alarming.

I think it's pretty clear the Subway execs (or the executives of their parent/holding company) foresee a recession and are doing as much profit-taking as possible while there's still time before the big crash hits and everybody tightens up their budgets.

That's the actual original definition, which lasted all but five minutes in the left wing social zeitgeist before being co-opted by right wing lunatics to essentially be a catch-all phrase for "anything I don't like". It's a convenient substitute for their old greatest hits album - "Socialism/Communism", which was starting to get a little tired now that the cold war has been over for over two decades.

I was actually kind of hoping they would have been busted af on release to make people kick themselves for not going for them sooner.

Without a minimum weight requirement for detonation, these are strictly worse than all other mine variants, and mines are already a pretty bottom tier pick for anything past difficulty 4.

In 1999, John passed away in his apartment in the Bronx, went to hell and met the devil and the cross of Jesus Christ.

Is... is the cross a sentient being that can speak? I'm a little behind with my Christian Mythology, but why would the cross be in hell along with the devil? Wouldn't that imply that Jesus went to hell along with it? Am I missing the metaphor?

Things like this make me wonder how many mental illness issues are swept under the rug because they tend to take the form of some mainstream religious belief and not correctly identified as a psychotic episode because it's not polite to challenge somebody's faith even if what they believe is patently ridiculous.

When I first signed up for reddit, the upvotes and downvotes were not only separately tallied, but also showed the usernames of the most recent people who did them if you hovered over the button. Then very shortly after that they changed it so that it made votes private by default, and you could override it in the settings, but almost nobody went to check that box back on. Eventually, they completely removed that feature around the time upvotes and downvotes were combined into one. which along with vote fuzzing was one of the worst changes to reddit comments, imo.

Lemmy feels like old reddit right now, which is a great spot to be in. I don't think you necessarily need public vote info, but maybe it could be enabled on a per-community basis? I can see some communities like politics not wanting to add additional drama to the equation while other more content driven communities might enjoy knowing who was giving the feedback.

A Toyota Hilux is more suited for combat than that piece of shit.

 

Hello everyone,

There has been a lot of new traffic to Lemmy in the past few weeks due to the turmoil at Reddit. A lot of you may be Reddit refugees, like I am, and are missing their old favorite subs right about now.

I think it's more important than ever for regular users to step up and take an active role in rebuilding their communities, and I wasn't sure that things would ever get going unless somebody stepped up to the plate and made the effort, and I didn't want to wait around for someone else to take the initiative when I already had a strong desire to see this sort of content brought over to Lemmy.

Now that the first step has been taken, I'm inviting others who might be interested in building or managing this community to join me in making this the best version of asksciencefiction possible.

I have never been affiliated with /r/asksciencefiction or even been a moderator at reddit before. Preferably, I would like to hand off ownership of this community to somebody who has a strong desire to build and grow the community and enforce the rules. If that sounds like something you are interested in, please don't hesitate to send me a private message.

Thank you!
