E3 has been garbage on all levels for like 10 years, it’s for the best.

I consider it occasionally, then remember I’m paying a ton more to save like, 15 minutes. Then I just go get it.

I accidentally submitted early, but also, I wrote out the lyrics. It’s the most bland version of those breakup-depression kind of songs imaginable. I guess people voted it as “feel-good” out of irony.

Sitting at my favorite cafe

Sipping my tea it’s saturday

Thinking about all he’s done, to everyone

This town is full of broken dreams

Shattered hopes, and silent screams

Somebody please help me

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

I’ve lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

We’ve lost it all

Alone in the streets, alone in my thoughts

Thinking of all our favorite spots

I thought someday things might turn around

But I was lost and never found

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

I’ve lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

We’ve lost it all

Faces painted with smiles

Lies are told

A facade of unity

A vitality sold

So I sit here in silence

Just wondering how

To rewrite the tales

This town won’t allow

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

I’ve lost it all

Betrayed by this town

Let’s tear it all down

We’re all just destined to fall

We’ve lost it all

I’ve lost it all

We’ve lost it all

I have a feeling they knew how this would be received considering it seems like they’re rage-baiting and acting pretentious to try and get attention.

One of my favorite search ads that appeared in the mid 2000s happened when I was bored. I searched “grandpa” without any context just to see what would come up, because I really was that bored. One of the ads that appeared was one of those where they just shove your search in the title verbatim so someone not paying attention might think it was what they wanted.

It said something like “Looking for grandpa? Find great deals here!” I don’t remember exactly what the second part said, but the “Looking for grandpa?” part made me bust out laughing. I then started searching other random stuff to try and get something equally stupid, but it didn’t capture me quite the same way. Either way, my boredom was alleviated.

AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.

AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it’s become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.

Haven’t these stupid hair policies been deemed discriminatory based on sex for years now, regardless of your culture?

And they were even kind enough to put it in writing. The culture aspect of it just makes what’s already discrimination, worse.

Yes, I’m not sure if it’ll be ready by this year’s tax season or not, but it was happening. Last I heard they were doing some limited runs on it.

For those in the US: Learn how to file your own taxes. It’s really simple for the large majority of people, and usually just consists of copying numbers into boxes off a sheet your employer made for you. After you’ve done it once, subsequent times you’ll probably have it done yourself in less than half an hour.

You can do it for free on a ton of sites unless you make significant income, freetaxusa is typically the most highly recommended one.

I like how for all the problems Brazil has, the consumer protection laws are consistently some of the best around.

Unless the original standard agrees and implements it, then you’ve just created a new standard.

Man, I already had a hard time justifying my YouTube Premium subscription. I literally only have it for putting on stuff to sleep to on my TV without some ad telling me Mr. Beast wants to give me $10,000 if i click.

But the worse this gets, the more I feel like an asshole for giving them a dime.

Execute just adds 1, so if you want the dir world viewable, it’s 755.

Indie games are the only thing keeping gaming alive for me, for the most part. All the AAA games I play are older titles. Doing the GTAV story with a trainer has been a pretty fun time lately for me.

Weird, it usually works fine without JS.

I can second this. I have SearxNG running in a docker container by itself and it requires no real maintenance of any kind. I do have a cron job that updates the docker container once per day, but it ran for ages on the same version without issues.

Fit girls make fit games

Yeah whoops, brain said terabyte but fingers said gigabyte.

I know storage is cheap, but nearly half a terabyte? I’m already giving any game the side eye if it takes more than 50G of space on a disk, let alone nearly 10x that.

My dad went over the bars of a dirtbike when he was about 20 and landed hard on his shoulder, but walked it off.

Came back to haunt him with a vengeance last year almost 50 years later, super high pain in that shoulder that took a surgery to go away.
