Have you tried to Viossa server? They’re very nice

Compare to Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings. I’m pretty sure you know what those were about, and usually they had multiple layers of meaning.

I cannot for the life of me tell you what specifically the Avatar team thinks about deforestation, genocide, etc. It feels like they just put objectivelt bad things in the movie for the bad guys to do.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I actually really don’t get the sense of a deep world from Harry Potter as an adult. I know as a kid I did, but the more I thought about the logic involved in the plot the less I felt it held up. I started getting really annoyed with the setting around 10th grade.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

What’s a frendica and do I need to download it

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I feel like I am missing something. Why is Toron wondering how Konsi is still alive?

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Well if they fail, it’s not like you have to experience the consequences for long

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

No really, the guy who plays elmo is black.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Honestly, it would be really funny to have a biopic about Neil Cicierga with Neil playing himself in a fictionalized autobiography where he gets to make up a bunch of surreal bullshit about his life. Like a feature-length edition of Guaranteed* Videos

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Microsoft is the suits. Suits are for office work. Microsoft is for office work.

I have discovered that cancer can be transmitted through QR codes

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I really like Brave’s summarizer. Sometimes it’s useful, sometimes you get gibberish like this. One time I looked up “are Rabbits rodents” and it told me me that “Rabbits are the largest domestic rodent, followed by the ferret. Rabbits are not rodents because they have four incisors, whereas rodents have two incisors.”

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I think the two points missing from most debates are

  1. The imperial system does a damn good job at measuring things the way a human would. A foot is roughly the length of a big foot. A single degree farenheit is just big enough that you could guesstimate it with enough practice. If the temperatures are negative, you dump sand on the roads instead of salt.
  2. It’s like seven units of measurement in a trenchant. You never have to convert gallons to cubic miles. You never have to convert from dots to angstoms, and nobody has ever had to convert the surveyors mile to the nautical mile. It feels schizophrenic because claiming it’s one singular system is like saying Italian, French, and Portuguese languages are all regional dialects of Europeanese.

My point isn’t “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature”, I’m saying for the average non-scientist there may be a logical reason why we like it so much

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Actually Europe’s weather is pretty analogous to the Midwest, thanks to an ocean current dumping lots of warm water to their north. Although that might be changing soon idk

I like [email protected] explanation, but he neglected to explain why Bahamut does this and what exactly the canaries are

Each of the canaries is a dragon cleric, one for each color of the metallic dragons. So they not only are high-level monsters, they also can each throw high-level spells at you. Here’s the important thing for DM use: its only tradition that they are canaries. I usually have then be pidgeons or chickadees.

Bahamut essentially does this because he is bored. You see, he is a God of dragons, but dragons don’t actually worship their God in the way mortals do, so he doesn’t have a lot of duties. So, when he is bored and wants something to do, he goes to the mortal plane in the guise of a pathetic old man, and whenever someone helps him he returns the favor by giving them a blessing.

The problem with using Bahamut as a stick for your munchkins is that he really doesn’t need to defend himself. The dragons, of course, will be revealed if their polymorphed form is destroyed, but do you really think some random adventurers can even slightly harm the God of Metallic Dragons? Think about what could happen. Imagine some little kid stepping up to defend the old man, a bunch of other little kids back him up, the party kills them, and then Bahamut brings them all back and offers to make them clerics or paladins so they can actually do something about all the evil people in the world.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Honestly, this right here is why I don’t believe a party of murderhobos could take down bahamut in this situation.

  1. The party is probably only mid-level
  2. Sure, they could take down a god with prep time. My character in my D&D campaign is slowly working on just that. Do they have prep time, though? Do they even know what they are fighting?
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I like to drop him in as a custodian, street cleaner, or janitor. It seems fitting to me to have a lawful good god practice a profession that keeps society running.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

My current theory is actually about how one glass of it gives me 120% of my daily added sugars

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

If you have too much at once it can act as a laxative under certain conditions. The other thing I noticed was that my one glass had gave me 100% of my daily saturated fats intake. For context, the FDA suggests that you should only get 10% of your saturated fats in one meal because having more than that at once can interfere with your colon’s ability to absorb water. I also think getting 80% of my daily cholesterol in one go had something to do with it too.

Basically, thats the taco bell effect. If you have too much sugar, fats, fiber, gluten/lactose, spices, beans, and coffee in one meal, you run the risk of diarrhea. Taco Bell is famous for having all of those things in great quantities.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Small detail you may have missed: this was in one glass. Their serving size on the nutrition label is a quarter cup, and by my guesstimation my glass was a full cup. It was a big glass but still, having one glass of something should never give you 100% your daily value of anything lol

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I just want to know the reason why I am suffering

I will not stop drinki g the eggnog thoug

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling, (edited )

How do you think I know its the eggnog

I get it whenever it is in stock, and whenever I drink it I get explosive diarrhea

I know its not the Milk causing it because it’s, well, lactaid

Wait a second, what if they are lying to me

Edit: I am fairly certain it is in fact lactose free. My current theory is that it has something to do with the large amount of sugar. I think I might be getting almost 60% of my daily value of added sugars and 50% of my daily value of fats in one of the big glasses I drink it out of. If my fiancée finds out I am doing this to my poor arteries, she will be very upset because she made me promise to not die first

Edit 2: I have dramatically underestimated how many servings I have drank today. New ballpark is

  • 80% daily cholesterol
  • 100% daily saturated fats
  • 120% added sugars

IN ONE GLASS

What the fuck have I done

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I am lactose intolerant and also lazy

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

My current theory is that I’m getting to taco bell effect from the eggnog. Didn’t realize until looking at the label about an hour ago, but it’s got an insane concentration of added sugars, cholesterol, and saturated fats. I drank half the carton today (well, yeaterday) qnd if my mental math is right I’ve gotten 80% of my daily cholesterol, 100% of my daily saturated fats, and 120% of my daily added sugars. If my fiancée found out, she would be so upset because she made me promise that I wouldn’t die first

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling, (edited )

THAT WAS ONE GLASS

I mean, it was a large glass, but the whole carton is only one pint. I don’t usually drink all of it in one sitting.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Omg, explosive diarrhea causes Christmas lol

Younger users of Lemmy: Did you ever love a game that you just really sucked at?

So I was watching a few youtubes and remembered how the vast majority (of like the ten) nes games me and my sister had were hard as all hell. I loved to play Little Nemo and Street Fighter 2010 but I am pretty sure I never made it past the third level of either. Let alone infamously hard games like The Lion King....

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

For me, Dwarf Fortress. I have never gotten far in that game. It’s fascinated me since I was 13, and I still suck at it.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

My only real advice to you is to meet as many girls as humanly possible and do not lower your standards for anyone, no matter how pretty they are.

The only way to be “behind” on dating is to not work on yourself. Sounds like you’ve been doing a lot for yourself, with your career and losing weight and all. Don’t forget therapy. There is nothing more attractive to a girl than just being in a good spot mentally, socially, and physically. Seriously, the bar for men is at ankle height! Most guys don’t work on themselves and go through life as a shambling pile of red flags, and then girls settle for that.

When my fiancée first met me, I was living in my parent’s basement and biking to work every day because I didn’t have a car. But I had a clear idea of who I was and what I wanted to be, and I was working towards my short-term goal of buying a new car. Somehow that was enough to be an amazing once-in-a-lifetime catch for her. You are way better off than I was, and even I was able to catch a girl that is better than anything I could have hoped for. (At this point in my life, my list of “what the perfect girl looks like” had gotten so long that I had given up on finding someone who fit even most of them, then she walks in and I realize she checked every box on that list, even the childish stuff like having the biggest boobs I’ve seen in person and having all the same hobbies as me) Point is, don’t ever think you aren’t worth it. I got my dream girl while living in my parent’s basement with no car and no career; if my loser ass can do it, you can too. Have faith in yourself.

On a side note, I think what’s making things feel harder is how much more difficult dating is when you aren’t going to school. I would recommend getting involved in irl hobbies and keeping your eyes open. That way you are more likely to meet girls who have hobbies in common with you.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

In what way was the Epson dogshit? I’m mostly asking because I just bought an Epson printer a few days ago

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Where am I supposed to swim? The pool? I have bad news about public pools for you, buddy

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Imagine neopets, bur instead of scientology propaganda they are filled with 5G vaccine metals to give everyone autism

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I have seen more useless cards than a 1/1 token with trample. Get a +1/+1 counter farm going and that’s pretty good.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

I started typing an angry comment about how math is logic and therefore sudoku is a math puzzle, but when I got to the second paragraph about graph theory I realized I was already losing the argument I was having with no one

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Play this with your kids while teaching them Klingon

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

Let’s imagine a field full of lobsters. Each lobster represents a server. Most of the lobsters like to hang around with each other, but some of them don’t like certain other lobsters and will refuse to hang out with other lobsters.

Now each of these lobsters have at least one tiny little mite riding on them. These mites want to talk to the mites on the other lobsters, but they are too far away. So, they build a big sign on the back of their lobster that the other mites can see. Since they are on the back of their lobster, they can change what’s on the sign or add to it or make a new sign, but the other mites can add to the signs by signaling with semaphore what they want written on the sign. However, the mites on the lobster that their lobster doesn’t like are never close enough to send their semaphore signals, so although they can see the sign they can’t change or add to it.

ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling,

The problem you are running into has two faces, both of which are that you are not the target audience.

  1. The first problem is that it is a very meta form of satire. It kinda depends on you having played enough rpgs to have internalized how they work. The idea that killing the various monsters and gaining Lv. is objectively bad will not hit you as hard if you are an outsider to the genre. There’s also lots of other little details you will miss the meaning of, like how Toriel leads you through the spike puzzle because “its too dangerous”.
  2. Undertale has a lot of messages woven together in its themes, but the loudest and clearest ones are “Your actions matter, even if nobody notices” and “People are fundamentally good, and you can make friends with anyone if you try hard enough”. I don’t imagine those are messages you need to hear, since you are an adult, but when I was in school I did not feel like I mattered. School is a rough place, and I think your kids really appreciate being told they matter and that they are loved.

But Jane isn’t technically an AI, she’s more like a Boltzman Brain if anything. She technically doesn’t even run on the computers she is connected to.
