You’re never going to get all Democrats to be satisfied with any candidate, ever. People are going to complain because they love complaining. That said, I think most people are probably fine with her.

I don’t think I have ever paid more than $300 for one.

I bought a pixel 3a discounted to $300 when it was maybe a year old. Then when the 6a came out, I was able to trade in the 3a for a $300 credit, so ended up getting the 6a for maybe $150. Before that, I had a Nexus 5 which I also bought at $300 and held onto for years.

I guess I just don’t see the appeal. If I wanted to interact with an AI, I can do it right now without launching a game to do it. And pointless NPCs are already one of the most annoying parts of games for me. I don’t want to waste my time reading meaningless dialogue from 100 characters trying to find the 1 person who will actually let me advance and continue playing the game. It will be even worse when they are all taking an unlimited stream of shit instead of 1 or 2 canned responses, because it will just be even harder to know who is wasting your time.

When a bunch of RPGs start doing that, they are all just going to start feeling the same.

I had forgotten that there is an audio port on the pc itself. I guess that would be the easiest solution, I’ll just have to buy a longer cable.

I feel like the issue could be largely resolved if developers would just make a lot of the downloads optional. For as long as I remember, installers for PC applications have given the user options for which parts of the applications they want to install. Yet for games these days, they just take an all or nothing approach. Let me skip the ultra textures, and all the extra choices in languages I don’t need. It seems like it should be such an easy thing to implement!

Did you look at the list? It’s there.

At least it has a great and well recognizable name!

Wow, it’s been like 15 years since I last heard about I2P.

I see the problem as, most people on Lemmy are already signed up to an instance that they are happy with. If the instance offers something to really differentiate itself, such as a focus on certain types of communities, or different types of rules or moderation than most other instances, then it might have a chance at catching on. But otherwise, I feel like it would be very hard to promote an instance if its 95% the same as all the other instances.

Yeah, this seems like such an odd claim, because all one has to do is go to Kbin.social and the downvote buttons are right there.

Then for the next week your internal clock is messed up and you can’t actually fall asleep when you want to.

Learn some alphabets of foreign languages. Russian is fun because some of the characters looks like English letters but have completely different sounds. Korean is also cool because it looks crazy complex but it’s actually extremely simple.

Use it for a grilled cheese sandwich. Or just about any kind of sandwich.

This is the thing that most companies seem to obsess over these days: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_promoter_score

I think it’s just a fad.

So there used to be this cartoon called Silverhawks, which was about these dudes who are partially made of metal and they can fly.

First dream I can remember, I was at the doctor and they wanted to give me a shot in my leg. I was really afraid of needles at the time, but suddenly I became a Silverhawk. The nurse was trying to stick the needle in my thigh, but my thigh was metal, so her plan was foiled.

The RIF app was reddit to me. I would typically spend over an hour per day on it.

I do still check Reddit maybe once a day on my desktop, maybe for about 5 minutes. There are still a few communities on there which don’t have an active alternative here on Lemmy. However, I have deleted all my old posts and comments, and I do not make any new ones.

It’s kind of the opposite for me. Like many people said, when you are young, every experience mostly feels new. However, when everything feels new to you, there’s really nothing special about it. For me, I always embraced the familiar. I look back at my memories of family vacations with disappointment, because as everyone else was wanting to go and do fun things, I was complaining about how I would rather be watching TV or playing my gameboy. Now as an adult, I understand how precious our experiences can be. I look out at a mountain and I appreciate the beauty of it. I think about the history that has taken place around it. I think about how other people might have experienced it. I get so much more from it than I ever would have as a child.

The part where the girl checked under her bed, then she looked back up and the monster was in the bed with her… That was the part that got me.

Wow, this thread has been really eye opening. As someone who completely hates exercise (I honestly can’t imagine many other things that are more unpleasant), it had never really occurred to me that people exercised because they genuinely enjoyed it. I always just assumed that everyone else hated it and just forced themselves into it.
