Not sure what you mean about sending one of these posts…
Thanks for responding, all the same!
Is that a function of Lemmy, or just federated links, I wonder.
Exactly. Sometimes I can get it to load if I try opening it it a few times… But not that often.
Huh. Are you using Connect, or something else?
Nine NIIIINE!!
Dead Cells. I can just… Zone out and go. It's really cathartic, and if I do particularly bad during a run, I just… Die and start over. You don't lose anything you've gained, (unless you pick something up in a biome and don't make it to the exit), and each run is practically a new game that requires nothing to learn it. It's my Zen game.
You are 100% correct in your assertion, my anti Mario sex toy friend, and I love your passion. I worry that the minute you call someone’s intelligence into question, they’ll take a defensive posture and stop thinking critically. Critical thinking is what we need more than anything else in this world right now. That’s what’s in short supply. It’s why the news is constantly being flooded with new things, and why there are so few media outlets that don’t have a slant. If I can get you outraged at team blue, or team red, or team US, or team THEM, your anger overrides your reason and you stop thinking about who benefits from the distraction provided by us arguing over whatever this new bullshit thing is we’re arguing over. Hopefully that last statement makes sense.
Help me understand how I’m close in what I’m saying, my friend. It feels like we’re saying exactly the same thing.
Look… It’s all tribalism, in the end. We can argue semantics, but doing so it’s exactly their point. It keeps us busy with pedantry, while they continue to enjoy their wealth from on high. I am not educated enough to debate the pros and cons of each group, but I am intelligent enough to smell an attempt to distract me from the point. To know there’s some sleight of hand fuckery happening right in front of my face.
It’s simple… If you convince the communists that the capitalists are trying to destroy them, (and vice versa), they fight each other, distracting them from the real enemy: the 1% with enough money to directly influence the folk that make the rules that keep them in the 1% club. We’re fighting culture wars so we won’t fight class wars, my friend.
The man cannot even put together a single coherent sentence.
Whatchu wanna talk about, friend? Let’s get niche-y!
I know. I just hate that thing’s face so much it spawned a rant.
RiF was all I ever used. Never even heard of Sync until I migrated to Lemmy at the end of June. Fwiw, I found Connect rather quickly, and it feels almost exactly like RiF. Enough that it scratches the itch. I tried Sync for about an hour today… It’s fine enough… But I can’t figure out what it has that Connect doesn’t. Maybe it’s just that everyone who used Sync was just comfortable and didn’t want to change. I’m fine with it being a paid app, or subscription, or whatever dude decides to do to help support himself, too…I just don’t get the hubbub when there’s a perfectly excellent free alternative in Connect.
Good grief…I had no idea this monstrosity had become governor of a state. It makes sense that it’s Arkansas… But still. Who the fuck takes one look at that beast and thinks, “There… That’s the person I want in charge of the lives of those around me!”. Honestly…If I saw this thing at dusk walking towards me on some street, I’d immediately cross both myself and said street out of fear of the eldritch horror streaming forth from it’s eyes. Look at that face! Tell me it doesn’t scream, “I eat souls and shit demons”. Every day, I want so badly to buy a ship and sail into international waters, to avoid fuckwit shit bags like this douchecanoe having any say whatsoever in how I live my life. Fuck “her”, and everyone who voted “her” into office. May the beyond accept you into it’s dark and torturous embrace.
Came here to post the same advice. 30 minutes… Absolute max.
