It started conversations, but then they all stopped when arrests were made. Now if more people threw pies all the time, and did so anonymously, and at more targets, we might have a chance to change things. We can’t just let one person take a stand and then take the fall while asking if it meant anything. It means something when the example is followed.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The layout of these floor tiles.English
12·1 month agoIt can also be the same reason the carpet patterns in casinos is a bit off, designed to irritate slightly so your head stays up and you focus on the stores more.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) bought and owns the megayachts company OceancoEnglish
119·1 month agoI have seen plenty of comments here trying to make Gabe out to be an ultra bad capitalist evil villain because he owns this company that, as far as I’m aware, pays it’s employees. And most of those arguments are around the fact that it’s a mega yacht company. All sounding like people shouldn’t have unnecessary luxuries. If we went down that route, nobody needs video games, nobody needs music recordings, movies or tv shows, nobody needs clothing that expresses themselves, we all should only have the basic necessary tools of work and the most utilitarian of clothing and homes. Food only to sustain, not enjoy. Tell me I’m wrong.
I won’t disagree that some people don’t need mega yachts, but I feel that having this company, maybe he could work on building better floating housing systems. Or maybe he is employing people and giving them good paychecks for working on these yachts.
Is it me, or can anybody else tell from the tone where the guy was jerking while writing the review?

4·3 months agoI have ADHD. In most of my formative years, I was on Ritalin and it wrecked my mental health. In high school, I pulled myself off it and my school grades tanked. I regret not finding an alternative other than “Caffeine makes me think somewhat right.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any dead franchises that can survive being rebooted?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any dead franchises that can survive being rebooted?
4·4 months agoThe problem with the reboot wasn’t that it was bad or didn’t follow storylines, was that it was made for a different audience than the original show and/or comics and then forgot to tell that old audience. Watching it from the outside, it was hilarious and well written.
I have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don’t know if I need anymore.
In other words, management knows your job is bullshit and that is the exact reason for your job.

11·4 months agoAfter reading what I wrote, I do admit I wasn’t saying the exact question I get annoyed with. It’s when I am asked what brought me to apply specifically to that company. And it’s rather difficult to come up with a better answer than the truth of I have 40 applications this week alone, you were one of them.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Systemd preparing to comply with age verification laws
2·6 months agoA question I have that I hope someone can answer: how is the age check at the OS level verified? Is it just a trust issue that the user is putting in the correct date?






So many a year ago, I would tell people I was a gamer, and they all assumed video games when I meant role-playing games. Made me a touch upset. Now I see this happening in video game culture too, and I just have a smile of justification while sitting in my room of unread ttrpg books.
