The pirate voice in my head nearly ran out of breath singing the post title.

Everyone’s arguing about whether or not the main character should be black while forgetting the more important point: Ubisoft is trash, and we shouldn’t be buying their uninspired shovelware anyway.

I love that he called it “vger”

I remember reading something about how gen Z, the first generation that had social media from early childhood, are more avoidant in making big life decisions than previous generations due to the sensitivity to publicly making a mistake.

Risk aversion is good for many things, but a lot of the best life experiences/accomplishments you can have require taking a leap at some point.

I mean, probably Linux at some point. I’ve dipped my toes in as a complete novice, but I expect I’ll take the full dive eventually.

This user is just the latest in a series of spammers since Lemmy has grown in popularity. It’s hard to tell if they have some vendetta against the platform or are just maladjusted and want to annoy people having a good time.

As someone who posts across Lemmy a lot, I am usually made aware of the spammers almost immediately, because my inbox will be full of the same spam comment replies all at once. I just report them up to the various instances when I see it.

There are problems in the world, but it’s important to remember that both news and social media get way more engagement when showing you doom and outrage, so the most extreme takes rise to the top.

It’s good to be informed, but don’t let the doomsaying scare you out of living your life.

That sounds difficult.

You know, I bet a software engineer could write up something to help with it!

This one is going in my dad joke arsenal. Thank you

It’s important to remember that you don’t owe it to anyone to engage in a comment fight. If someone decides to be grouchy and try to pull you into an argument, you can just ignore it and move on with your day.

I post a lot of memes across Lemmy, and you’d be surprised (or maybe not) how often someone goes out of their way to be upset and attempt to bait me or others into arguing with them. I think some people just enjoy being mad, but I’m not one of them, so I’ve decided that it’s not worth the mental energy to engage with that.

If I had seen it posted, I would have held off. I’m not subbed to every community on this instance if you saw it somewhere else.

YOU MEAN PATRIOTIC

Is this higher quality than just screenshotting and dragging the box around it? Asking for a friend.

Liftoff handles this amazingly. I can comment from this account…

It’s a meta meme, playing off of the format that usually has people doing something silly before the time something was invented. But it’s backwards because it’s BC.

Examples:

Lol, the joke is just that this is the inverse of how this meme usually works, since counting backwards in BC is forward in time.

Woo, awesome!

Oh yeah, I’m always excited to see him show up.
