Agreed - Brandon may not be the best at certain facets of writing, but he’s nothing short of virtuosic when it comes to worldbuilding. The cosmere is a masterwork in this regard.

I use chopsticks with popcorn

I realize this has terrible ramifications and indicates the depth of our irresponsibility etc etc, but this is one of the few silver linings to our current dilemma and I will fully allow myself to enjoy it

Lol I hope so

I will be disappointed if it’s not this guy

Is the user base on lemmy really large enough to warrant an AI bot to shill payday loans? Like, come on man, let us have nice things for once in this goddamn hellscape of an internet.

Costco is unique in its food court prices, they must be heavy into loss leader territory at this point. It was a really good deal back before covid, and these days it’s basically daylight robbery compared to anywhere else.

Not only that, but the food kiosks (at my local location, anyway) don’t scan your costco membership either, so you can just walk in the exit and get some food without signing up.

My office used to do this, until upper management caught wind and threw an absolute fit over it. Then they paid the building manager to come in and remove the lightswitches so we couldn’t turn the lights off ever again, there’s literally an alarm that goes off if the circuit is broken.

Yay for having a mild headache every single day!

This is a great write-up, thanks for your take.

Humanity always seems to learn the wrong lessons from historical events, doesn't it? Hurt people hurt people, I guess…

I disagree honestly, the context made it very clear what was meant here, and was a proper use of the word imo.

I personally had a lot of luck save-scumming by savequitting the game and copying the files elsewhere at every holy mountain. (there are scripts floating around that make this easier) Then when I died, I could revisit that area without risking much progress, and it made the game much more fun while I tried to scale the truly formidable learning curve.

Nowadays I feel much more comfortable just doing normal runs, so I guess I 'graduated' lol, some understanding of the wand-building goes wayyyyy further than I expected.

You know, I don't really agree with this, but I appreciate you saying it. We need more people just coming out and saying what they think, rather than clamming up because their opinions are now unpopular but then continuing to act/bully the same behind the scenes. Bluntness is a virtue in my world, because I can actually parse what you say this way lmao

I am continually reminded how glad I am that I made SJW my home base. Thank you.

The colors on that are kinda confusing. 6tn years is yellow, but 2k years is green?

I'm guessing they knew that it likely wasn't a problem with being ugly, so the therapist did this 'experiment' as a way of demonstrating that. Seems pretty solid to me, actually.

Took me all of 30mins to spin up a local invidious instance. Worth every second

Likewise… haven't found a good way to do this yet.

I don't understand this comment. What harm has nihilism caused that is worth protesting?

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not, and that makes me sad
