“I don’t understand, if you don’t want crushed orphans, just don’t toss them in the orphan crushing machine”

Well maybe they shouldn’t have an orphan crushing machine in the first place.

An M72 LAW rocket launcher tube, sitting in the center of the living room, on end. No coffee table, just that sitting upright in between the couch and TV.

Same! I had a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago, but I’m back on my period again with my nonexistent uterus. Phew.

Slow and Curteous: Tokyo Grip

Someone more clever than me can make a joke with that, I was picturing some kind of super polite tire salesman who primarily deals in snow tires.

Don’t be polite: be predictable.

Don’t wave that other person through the intersection when it’s your turn, it just creates confusion. Go through like you are supposed to.

Don’t slow down to let the yeilding traffic in. They are supposed to YEILD TO YOU.

What are they going to do, throw the entire working population in jail?

I think it’s one of those “it will be profitable, but not in a short enough time for it to boost my career” kind of games. There is plenty of interest, just not enough for big sales right out the Gate, which is what AAA companies want.

I would do unspeakable things to get a Sid Meier’s: Pirates! Live the Life style game, but with Black Flag controls/graphics.

Honestly, I got a Ship-of-the-Line in that game once when I was like 13, and every game from then on I hunted for them trying to capture a whole fleet, but they were pretty rare.

I want that feeling of “I’m hunting for a specific ship and country/cargo” again. Black flag is still my all time favorite AC

Not just clickbait, either. Straight up lies.

They cite their own article, INCORRECTLY I might add, to say “nicotine free vapes aren’t nicotine free”.

I mean, if this is the scientific standard people listen to nowadays, I have some bridges that need selling. scientifically

People are a bit nicer in general here, I think, although certain niche subreddit were far more welcoming to newcomers.

I’ve only had two people on lemmy so far tell me my thoughts are stupid without bothering to explain why they feel this way, and only one person has assumed they know my life from a single comment. (homer_so_far.gif)

I have yet to see a single interaction where someone has changed someone else’s mind in an amicable and polite way with both thanking each other for their time though.

I tend to focus less on news post comments though. Someone calling me an idiot because I don’t blindly support something or someone doesn’t phase me.

Someone breaking down my comment about why Picard is a better starfleet captain than Commander Sisko and giving me reasons why I’m stupid for thinking that? That’ll stay with me for a few days.

Perhaps I just don’t interact unless it seems like the general vibe agrees with me, and therefore people are more likely to be nice, because I don’t like rejection and mean comments are just different kinds of rejection, so I hide in places I know will like me.

0 reason to interact when you know there’s a good chance you will come out unhappy, I get it.

Woot! I’m more of a lurker but I comment occasionally (not necessarily smart or informed as they should be ones) and I would love to post in recreations of some of my favorite niche places, but running them is quite an investment…

I’m pumped I can still see star trek memes though.

Remember freedom fries? I remember seeing a paper taped to a menu once that said “freedom fries” over what I now know we’re just regular French fries.

Didn’t know why people were calling it that at the time, but looking back… Damn. I wonder how our high school French teacher was doing…

I honestly wonder how many police forces in the US got their start because of slavery.
