God, I hate hot after page 1. All I get when I’m browsing all and not logged in is the lemmit bot.

This is when they implement the backdoors that britain is requiring. /s

I actually liked the crust after the change. It’s not great, but it was better than most other chains.

Lol, that’s the reason I wouldn’t LAN anymore. One, my computer is massive, and two, it’s been in the same place for the last 10 years. I’m pretty sure it’s bonded to it’s support structure.

I don’t know what other games you play, but they all seem to have similar principles underlying their netcode. Think of a game like rocket league (casual mode), or fromsoftware game like elden ring, or a counterstrike game, or an MMO. You’re running it locally, on your computer, but in order for people to seamlessly drop in to an ongoing match in rocket league, or to invade/help in elden ring means there is a server side. You can join the exile’s group and jump to the area they’re in for path of exile, no extra work required on the client side. I don’t think you can even play ‘offline’ like you can in rocket league or elden ring. The counterstrike and MMO is probably the closest example, because when you login to path of exile, you are definitely logging into a server. It’s why you can see all the people in town.

I didn’t think the movie was all that bad, but I had a pretty good imagination so I remembered all the horrors from the book. The scene that really gets me is when hazel is tripping balls. Something with that song had it plastered all over my memory.

Roald Dahl’s stories were nightmare fuel if they were written by anyone else, because his style just made it seem so goofy. Just think of fantastic mr. fox: the entire countryside is destroyed as a titan of the industrial age brutally hunts down pitiful animals trying to scrape by. The witches? Literal torture porn as children are changed into mice and put through all manners of hell.

Even his semi-autobiography was about how children tortured each other in boarding schools. I remember his tales of having to warm up a toilet for the older boy in charge of him, and how they were all whipped/caned by the older students.

That’s the good stuff, right there.

It’s an online game where your position is important. Dodging to the wrong area can get you killed. It also uses both your computer and the server to manage things, to avoid cheating. In the original, there used to be massive problems with desyncs, where your computer thinks you’re in one area, the server thinks you’re somewhere else, and so the instructions sent from one to the other caused headaches with aiming and especially avoiding attacks. Most of the competitive players probably still have a macro bound to type /desync. If you have a bad connection, the desync is almost unavoidable. This will get you killed fast.

As someone who has witnessed the very unsettling act of an orangutan male forcing himself on a very unwilling orangutan female, I don’t believe the bottom left fits.

The best thing about pickleball with trump would be the chances of injury. I can’t tell you how many broken wrists I’ve seen from them falling.

Texas still has license to carry, with distinctions for where/when you can open/concealed carry… but that was from 2016/2017. The gentry probably isn’t talking about texas.

Instructions unclear, my sex organ now has yoga clothes embedded.

Is it just me, or does the tail of the plane look like a :0 faced bird with its wings raised?

You can see it in the various ‘asklemmy’ communities. When I was left wondering if we were being brigaded by folks from nostupidquestions or having a bot trying to drive engagement with simpleminded stuff, I knew the original lemmy feeling was about to be gone.

It makes me a little grumpy that I have to experience the eternal september.

It’s funny, because I actually enjoy the less realistic versions, like ship of fools. Void crew was fun and all, but didn’t tickle my biscuit enough. Sea of thieves was just sort of… boring. It took too long to get into the fun, and then the fun was over too quickly.

Lol, and here I was imagining the average lemming as a mid 30s-40s dude with a linux thinkpad and a preference for femboys with long socks.

Shit, I’m trying to remember from just the memes. Was it something like :q! or am I misremembering it?

When you’re walking alone in the dark all big burly and bearded and just hear a voice calling out sexualizing you it’s scary

The fear is from the group dynamics more than anything else. Gender almost plays no part in it. Age plays almost no part in it. There are several stories about a group of teens attacking a lone adult, and it goes just about as you’d expect. Anyone who is alone and suddenly becomes the focus of attention by a group will (and probably should) become worried, whereas if you’re in a group the (that is, your) reaction can be anything from ignoring to playing along because you have less to fear. All of us can imagine the difference between walking in a group or by yourself when getting catcalled. Most of us have probably seen the difference.
