It would still not be "the Belgians" then, but the Belgian monarch and the government. At that time especially, that had very little to do with the Belgian people

What was the context of that quote in Metal Gear again?

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"I like to f*ck" by Tila Tequila.

Essentially the same lyrics, even.

"ganz normaler Oberlippenbart"?

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I didn't mean him in that example, but the bottom of the power dynamic being 40, or 20.

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, absolutely. That's what I was trying to say. Also, because of another reply in this thread: I didn't mean him, or him being insecure, in my example of the fourty year old.. I meant a 40 year old at the bottom of the power dynamics. As compared to a 20 year old.

Agreed, but in my experience people in their early twenties can be surprisingly experienced and conscious kinksters, able to voice consent and negotiate intense situations. While people in their fourties can be incredibly insecure, unable to communicate their needs and insecurities, while still wanting to play.

It's a matter of experience, self-awareness and skills, and those don't come with age, but with work on yourself and education. We need so much more sex education and communication about these things.

The woman in question doesn't seem to be an experienced kinkster though, and she should totally be heard in any case. But the age argument distracts from the real issues, I believe.

..sorry to be breaking the fourth wall here, but man, it would be hilarious if you actually thought x.com was porn xD couldn't blame you, though. If you weren't playing, I see it as my moral duty to remind you of this weird timeline we are in, where Elon bought Twitter and renamed it

 

Hey guys,

so I posted here a few weeks ago, with the idea of donating a gaming PC to a nursing home. I talked to someone in charge there today, this might actually happen.

Thing is, to try this out I would probably have to supply the software (Microsoft Flight Simulator being the most important now.)

As I understand it, you can only use the Flight Simulator with a Microsoft account. If I let them use my own account, that would mean a PC with my logged in account would be standing around there in the open, for anyone to access.

Does anyone have any idea how to approach this in a safe manner? I wish I could just buy a physical copy and let them have it for a while, before they buy their own. But even those need a connected Microsoft account nowadays, it seems.

Was also thinking of buying a used Xbox Series S (this might become the long term solution anyway), but same issue with the account, I believe.

(Man, modern gaming keeps finding ways to be annoying sometimes.)

P.S. If you have great game recommendations for octogenarians, bring them on!

 

Recently talked to a 90+ year old man in a park in front of his nursing home, guy is a former RC plane enthusiast. Can't do anything now because of his age, though. Bored all the time, sitting in the park is his highlight.

Thinking of donating an old gaming PC that can somewhat run the Microsoft flight simulator. Would that be a good idea? Can the average 80-90 year old use that at all, just speaking sensorically and motor skill wise?

Are there any other thoughts you have on that idea?

 

We all knew it

 

Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?

 

Seriously. I don't want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that's what it's called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.

What's the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?

(Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)
