I hate getting this when Google absolutely knows that I'm the one logging in and actively using said account!

I get it, verification this and verification that, but for fuck sakes, it's nothing but an obstacle course that drains seconds and minutes of doing.

Pfft, really now?

No they aren't scared shitless. They're cautious and aware. They just want to make an example of him.

It is like when people thought that guy who tried assassinating Trump was for the better of the country. Nah, he was just some psycho in the same political party as Trump was, just had dumb reasons to do it.

Armchair revolutionists wouldn't know a revolution even if it happened near them.

Let me know when at least 10 more CEOs get killed then we'll see.

No.

I'd want to see a mainline Pokemon game that actually meets in the middle between experienced players and newcomers. An entry that isn't seemingly too convoluted or stupid simple to approach, not to mention try to be interesting as a story. But I think GameFreak has long passed that point of making it interesting. Like where can you go with the story and lore after you had a generation that presented pokemon that controlled time, space, distortion while introducing what is essentially a pokemon 'god'? You really cannot go far above and beyond that.

And thus, failed on being the Reddit replacement it long aspired to be. Because that kind of behavior is what has already long infected Reddit and corroded it into the way it is today.

I guess in Lemmy's credit, mind as well do it while it is fairly young.

If a social media platform cannot ever accept the possibility and probability of opinions that work against the majority, you're effectively building a hivemind regardless of intention.

I think they're going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.

But then I hope it does happen because it'll only make him a martyr.

If it needs an app or internet connectivity - it can go fuck itself.

We've gone nearly a century of appliances that didn't need this shit. Apps or the Internet itself will not and never will, make things easier to do tasks than they already were easier to do before.

Technology Connections has shown me that air fryers are just a glorified toaster oven. They don't do really anything better, so just stick to a toaster oven.

It's way too small, even smaller than Lemmy, to really bother.

Here's my problem with Reddit-alternatives - they only focus on a handful of communities. You'll have your politics, your gaming, your technology, your news .etc

But where the hell are all of the fun ones? Reddit had micro-communities in spades, that's what it is known for. If the alternatives aren't trying then they aren't trying hard enough.

The sissy billionaire slap fight continues.

 

Mine is coffee. As of today, my coffee drinking days are over. I've had been drinking coffee for what feels like 14 some odd years. I used to have, on average, 2 ~ 4 mugs and on some days where I just pushed myself, 6 mugs. I would always have my coffee coupled with powdered creamer because I can never drink coffee straight.

However and for the past 4 years now, I've been noticing some health issues with it both mentally and physically. Mentally, I've noticed my anxiety is driven up the wall after having had coffee. Physically, I could not stop going to the bathroom to piss, for coffee accelerates your need to go to the bathroom since it is also a laxative.

And also in turn, kept interrupting my naps and times where I had a nice string of hours to sleep to. A few weeks back, I had thought that it was maybe the usual caffeine-based coffee grounds that was causing it. So I discarded them. I went to Decaf because I felt I wasn't just ready to discard coffee entirely. But since the same stuff is happening again with even Decaf, even when trying to be more moderate about my intake, I've officially tapped out.

I'm going to miss it, all the times where when I was in a place of solitude and a nice warm mug of joe added to the feeling, helped make things feel right. And all the times when coffee actually did help me, but I guess I just over-indulged and spoiled badly what was.

 

Leonidas Varagiannis, also known as “War,” 21, a citizen of the United States residing in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Prasan Nepal, also known as “Trippy,” 20, of North Carolina, were arrested and charged for operating an international child exploitation enterprise known as “764,” a nihilistic violent extremist (NVE) network. Varagiannis was arrested yesterday in Greece; Nepal

 

All I want to do is play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. That's all I want to play right now. But, leave it to Konami to not ever bundle it in any of the Castlevania bundles they've released so far. And leave it to Konami to exclusively lock it to a small bundle that is exclusive to a previous gen console such as the PS4 with NO plans of ever reaching PC.

So what are my options now? Emulate of course, so I opted to pirate a copy of Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP after I read that you can play Rondo of Blood. But leave it to Konami to not make it that simple, because you have to complete a certain task in a certain stage at a certain part just to simply UNLOCK the fucking version!

My other option is to emulate the PC-Engine and go through yet another obstacle course just to get one fucking game to run.

This is what brings my blood to a boil, is when there had been perfect opportunities and chances for game devs to do the obvious. If there is a high demand for a game that you know people would want to fucking play, you fucking bundle it and fucking release it.

You do not have a damn argument to stand by against piracy, game devs, when you have to make it such a pain in the ass for people to spend time and effort just to play a game YOU didn't want to simply release!

How do you fuck up this badly, Konami? Technically speaking, Rondo of Blood is a 16-bit game, so there was no excuses to have not included it in the initial Castlevania Anniversary Collection. But of course, just nostalgia bait everyone with all of the other games they could've emulated several times as easier than it is just to get the ONE game you didn't want to bundle.

So fuck you.
