The internet has ruined me. I fully expected a punchline about uninstalling Life.

Great game though, agreed. Stupid thing had me waking up at 6am as a child to attend morning aerobics.

And Kiki stole something from me before I could save with it. I forget if it was an igloo item or a painting. I liked her but not at that moment! Looking back though, little frustrations like that made the game more charmingly alive.

I have to ask because I live under a rock and can’t tell; Is this type of joke legitimately considered transphobic?

No kids. They’re a huge, life long commitment that you need to be willing to sacrifice everything for. Your happiness, your sanity, your time, your money… everything.

And I’m not the type of person who wants kids nearly enough to do that.

Especially when people tell me that I should for reasons like having a caretaker when I’m older. I’m not attached to my parents enough to do that. Why would I expect that of anything I pop out? And what a horrible selfish reason to make a new human that is!

If the only reason I’d be having a kid is selfish reasons in the distant future that aren’t even a guarantee, then that’s not worth sacrificing myself for right now.

Nothing against other people who want to be parents, so long as they’re prepared and not doing it as some sort of life insurance or to make a clone of themselves.

I never saw memes calling out animal ag on that other site outside of confined spaces. Yet on Lemmy they get upvoted in larger communities.

Lemmy is amazing. Keep being the hope for the future, folks. We need it!

Same here. Discord members posting teddit links and one person trying to grow a niche subreddit while I refuse to give Steve Huffman any more free human generated content.

Meat and dairy are heavily subsidized by the government (at least in US). Government subsidies for animal agriculture allow them to sell for cheaper because they can sell for less than what it actually costs to make.

This is not something I’ve heard of as someone who also doesn’t bother with fast food. Is this like, higher prices during rush hours or something?

I still don’t and probably never will understand why people use the same emoji more than once in a row.

Every other word is tacky and hard to read but I get it’s like… just a thing for people who grew up with emojis instead of little text emoticons. Or like older people trying to be a fellow kid kind of thing.

But the same one 5 times in a row? That’s just nonsense.

(I know I’m responding to a copypasta. It’s just on the topic.)

Filling my o2 tanks, taking out the trash, and monitoring a tree’s nutrient levels. With a headless dead guy in the middle of the floor the whole time. Only reporting the dead guy afterwards unless someone walks in on me doing so first.

My normal co-workers will even vouch that I do that kind of thing regularly so it’s not even suspicious. It’s just me being weird.

… I’ll be getting the death sentence for that eventually.

Another Voyager user here. It looks and feels like Apollo did and that’s what I come from.

Wow just calling me out here smh.

I would pay if it were more a more affordable price.

I haven’t browsed apps in ages so idk if it’s still common, but I remember lots of apps having a lite version and a paid version. Lite version has ads and a sometimes couple less features. Full version ad-free and potential extra features.

I liked that. Let me decide if I enjoyed the app enough to pay for the better version.

Before Reddit went down in a fire, I paid premium even though I already had adblocker and no need for the premium features. And I would do the same for YouTube now, if it wasn’t so high priced.

I am consciously learning now what I think I subconsciously already knew. If I value something enough, pay for it. And I DO value YouTube’s videos. The current cost is just a bit uncomfortably steep for a monthly subscription fee.

Whatever my partner wants, because I’m asexual and told them if they want intercourse then they’ll have to get it from someone else.

If they actually want three participants, they’ll need to find someone else. I ain’t joining that.

It’s amazing he’s still updating this.

When I became financially independent I got Reddit premium even though I didn’t really use any of the features. Already had adblock and RES. I just wanted to support the site I spent hours on.

Cancelled that when they killed Apollo.

But I do agree that limited ads aren’t an issue… except for the slippery slope that’s happened. Just a few more ads… just a little more intrusive…

This is me. I have had people say I make them sweat by looking at me when I wear a sweater in 75F just because it’s not yet hot enough to make me take it off.

If your keyboard has home/end buttons (right side, towards the top for me) and scroll to top does what it sounds like, you can probably ditch that one.

Pressing home automatically sends you to the top of the page, pressing end sends you to the bottom.

I personally got rid of Honey because I got word of it being a data harvester, which makes sense to me since it spammed advertising to YouTube sponsorships despite being a “free” thing… so I honestly didn’t bother looking to far into that I just chucked it and moved on. It wasn’t important enough for me to bother checking how they got the money to advertise through content creators.

I do use Dark Reader, RES (rip Reddit though. RES gets far less use now but I’m still keeping it), Sponsorblock, Return YouTube Dislike, and uBlock Origin from that list. So obviously I (currently) agree with them.

Back in the day! I miss when Pokemon wasn’t just a yearly cash cow of bottom quality games to sell merch like cards.

I was given an Abra and a… I forget in school. First two.

Favorite is my either my Ancient Mew from the movie theater or my gold-rimmed Meowth from the fruit rollups boxes.

Hmm.

• Usually open world. I like occasional other types, but a world with an explorable world map is more likely to keep my attention.
• Has to at least start more green than city. Cityscapes/Sci-fi settings bore me visually. This applies to real life too.
• Bright. If I need to play at night with lights off to see where the heck I’m going, I don’t like it.
• Usually some creature in the world to catch my interest. Like (inklings/octolings/salmonids in Splatoon).
• A good story is nice but not at all needed. I like environmental storytelling and aimless wandering.
• No “game complete”. I want to keep my save file forever.

Not hard rules of course, I have exceptions.

Like Metroid sounds perfect for me in some ways, but because it’s so dim and sci-fi, I can’t stay interested. Unlike Zelda, which usually starts with brightly lit forests that keep me in.

Splatoon has amazingly dark lore that’s only visible past it’s bright happy exterior that I LOVE. Stardew Valley/Minecraft/Animal Crossing are in my alley.
