Thinking that Microsoft is innovating and Steam (Valve is their name but whatever) is not is some real small 🍆 energy

The same way that right wing media companies in America are scrambling to take Joe Rogan off the air?

Scientists use Age of Empires 2 to investigate how ants wage war (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

... researchers Samuel J. Lymbery, Bruce L. Webber and Raphael K. Didham use Age of Empires 2 to study how human shaping of the environment affects the balance of power between the indigenous Australian "meat ant", or Iridomyrmex purpureus, and the Argentine ant, or Linepithema humile, who are one of the world's more invasive...

Kbin is like 7 people posting content lol

Turn federation off and browse /all. 90% of content is the same 4-5 posters or very niche magazines that are full of posts exclusively submitted by the magazine owner. Comments are a bit more varied but you can’t throw a stone without hitting one of about 7 frequent commenters, which also includes the 4-5 post submitters.

God forbid you have to interact with a table to get information.

This was definitely written by someone without ADHD who is tired of their “friends” not following their advice and still having ADHD

Stray is being turned into a movie (www.theverge.com)

Stray, the hit Annapurna Interactive game starring a cat, is getting a “feature adaptation” from Annapurna Animation, according to a press release. Annapurna didn’t share much else about the movie — we still don’t know when it might come out or what it might look like — but if you were a fan of the game and looking...

Good luck with audience recognition when “Strays” literally released on digital platforms today

“Passive language” is a specific thing that doesn’t apply to what you’re talking about.

I think the words you’re looking for are “propagandized language” or “pacified language”

some_guy,
@some_guy@kbin.social avatar

Ah yeah see you knew what they meant. What’s the issue?

some_guy,
@some_guy@kbin.social avatar

What’s not plain English about “people with a penis”? It seems excessively clear and to the point.

Is the word “people” too difficult for you?

some_guy, (edited )
@some_guy@kbin.social avatar

Who’s playing dumb?

You knew what the speaker meant and challenged their use of language.

I’m asking what’s unclear about the term “people with a penis” and you’re getting riled up.

Are you ok?

It seems like your entire gripe here is “those aren’t the words I would use and I’m not ok with that”

some_guy,
@some_guy@kbin.social avatar

The problem is people using clear language to describe something, and you preferring different language? Is that a correct assessment of your anger?

some_guy,
@some_guy@kbin.social avatar

You’re the one getting flustered and demanding everyone else use the words that make you comfortable, rather than the words they prefer.

What do you think “special treatment” means exactly?

I’ve never once wondered whether or not the things I’m doing could be misconstrued in a way that would end my career.

What kind of weird shit are you into?

Met a nice lady at the grocery store

Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing...

Good thing you’re here to sus out the BS, otherwise we might all have been hoodwinked by OP recalling this friendly conversation at a store.

Honestly at this point you’ve spent longer trying to explain why it’s made up than OP took to write it.

Are you happy with the person that you are? I can’t imagine you’re very pleasant to spend time with.

20 minute Power Nap = lay down, close my eyes, think of nothing for 20 minutes.

It usually takes me an hour + to fall asleep but I still appreciate getting a few minutes to shut down in the middle of a tiring day.

Dude I am textbook ADHD and totally useless without meds (which is why it takes over an hour for me to even think about sleeping).

You don’t have to give up before you try just because you have ADHD.

Start at 10, count backwards to 1

Your mind will wander, that’s ok. Recognize it is happening, and focus back on counting.

I don’t know when Fallout 76 was written but, this exact theme is literally in Blast From the Past. An underground shelter made to look like outside so that if they spend long times in the shelter they don’t go stir crazy.

Idea: fediverse of ecommerce. Time to dethrone amazon and ebay. What do you think?

Buying from an alternative ecommerce site usually sucks: you have to register for every website, enter your address, payment information and other information, they may leak data or store it improperly, you may not know the reputation of the website or business, you can’t easily compare products with other vendors and more....

You can shop online and still buy local. I’m not sure why you’re convinced this is an either/or scenario.

Personally I don’t have the time for a ton of brick-and-mortar shopping and my work requires specialized materials that aren’t made locally but often do require a bit of “shopping around.”

some_guy,

You could try avoiding them altogether then.

The cure is education

some_guy,
@some_guy@kbin.social avatar

In what way does education not cure the problem?

I get that you for whatever reason only recognize results if they are fast, but reality unfortunately does not share your bias.

Ah semantics I see. Good luck with your weird prescriptivist, pedantic mission.

The Newsroom also had some very prescient thoughts about the future of the Republican Party.

It’s as relevant now as ever

Do you, by chance, run a business that sends out mass email spam?

So people who don’t “contribute to society” dont deserve rights?

Also who decides what is a worthy contribution to society?

Why is it frowned upon here to 'steal' content from reddit?

If anything, shouldn’t it be encouraged, and even automated? I’m including even the ‘old’ stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn’t be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn’t because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the...

One recommendation: when you tell people how they “should” talk, you sound like a jackass
