Do you know why one would ever do that? 20(02/05)25 feels like the “Don’t Dead Open Inside” of dates.

It’s incredible how seemingly effortlessly Cranston pulls off Hal again. One friendly smile and the whole mental image I got from Breaking Bad is forgotten.

That’s a fair point. My family isn’t exactly known for getting old. I didn’t even meet half my grandparents and the only one I really got to know only lived into my early teenage years. I’ll probably only get to around 70 myself.

Damn, I’m about a decade older than you and there’s no way I’d call 1950 recent in any way. For all I care, it’s just as much ancient history as the roman empire. I don’t know anyone alive from either period, at least not on a personal level.

2100 on the other hand feels closer because I’m expect to come close to it within my lifetime. At least closer than I ever was to 1950.

Guess I’ll start with the same disclaimer: I don’t think I’m too smart for chess or anything.

I always thought chess is kinda boring. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun enough as a novice. It’s probably also fun for people who mastered it, I’m not denying that.

However, for everything inbetween, it’s mostly about memorizing stuff. You just learn hundreds of openings and how to counter them. From what I’ve seen, a lot of intermediate players fall apart once they go off-script. It takes years until you’re good enough to strategize properly on your own, like a novice would, without some going “That’s the ‘double helix chin twister’” and beating you.

It’s kinda like the problem multiplayer games often have for me. There’s a set meta and you either learn it or lose. To experiment yourself successfully, you have to invest a massive amount of time. Experimenting myself is the fun part. I’m don’t want to invest hundreds if not thousands of hours before I get to have fun.

The megalomania and random usage of IT terms check out, but I’d be suprised if he knew all references or even words used. Dude’s too busy playing Polytopia high on ketamine.

Iirc, we had sex ed in 3rd or 4th grade at age 10 or 11. Maybe younger, depending on the age you entered 1st grade.

It was repeated at grade 5, I think.

I don’t remember ever asking my parents anything and they never sat me down. I don’t think anyone ever seriously told me any fairy tales or misinformation.

Looking at this image, every child could easily point out who’s evil here. Do they not see it?

The top seems to be the same size, the old one just bulges more while the new one almost goes straight down.

Honestly, it’s the right image for both. At least for team based games. The first thing that comes to mind are unpleasent people when I hear ladder.

Ignoring all the other choices, why is his right arm green?

About 3 days. I do it every now and then since it does help relief a medical issue.

Interestingly, I don’t get hungry and don’t feel much difference overall. I could go much longer, but I don’t want to worry about refeeding syndrome.

Pretty much everything? I have very specific likes and pretty much stopped consuming things outside of those, since I can’t even fit all the stuff I’m guaranteed to like.

I guess among like-minded people, Final Fantasy 7 is the most glaring omission.

For lemmy, it’s probably anything Star Wars or Star Trek.

Male chicks get shredded because they do not lay eggs.

I’m actually impressed you created that one 2 years ago, I assumed you just did it for this joke.

So, he’s Xitler now?

Really working with his supposed german heritage. On the bright side, note how they lasted less time with each one.

There are multiple instances pushing propaganda and most data can just be scraped by bots. It may be harder, but capitalism finds a way.

The last panel applies to every other social media, just replace the spying country.

The internet. We’ve had a solid few years, but it has become a giant heap of shit for the most part.

Back then, not everything was an AI generated, SEO, ad riddled, interaction fishing, time wasting, data collecting nightmare with auto-playing videos and a dark pattern employing cookie banner.
