Wasn't sure if I should share this or not, but I wrestled with it in my head for like five minutes and here we are.

My buddy has been in so many lopsided relationships. Like dating moms who are still married and he's just the side piece. Or dating a foreign girl who visits him in the US, but refuses to leave her marriage in Spain.

We went on vacation together. My wife, kids, and my buddy. And after a lot of consideration, explored the red light district and fooled around with the sex workers.

I don't know what happened fully. But after our trip, he had this fire in his eyes.. He shared how he opened up the workers and how my wife & I's normal vacation squabble made him realize his prior relationships weren't healthy. And he's committing himself to finding a real relationship.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

Shame. The game looked great. But the beta state and bugs kept me from committing.

Not certain how the company plans to fix all of that with a smaller staff.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

If it does work, that's pretty cool!

I'd love to know if like, the lemmy instance catering towards Americans upvotes me, but the lemmy instance catering towards Europeans downvote me.

Late-90s, early-2000s McDonald's was peak.

Dollar menu. Pokemon toys. Some has N64 play areas.

I sometimes replace my butter on toast with eggs with applesauce on toast with applesauce. I call it a pile of sadness.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I was shocked to see this post. I honestly thought it was dead after 2015.

I work in tech so at least 80% of people play video games. Either hardcore or casually, on their phones, PCs or Steam deck. The other 20% don't play video games because they're busy with life, like they just had kids.

I feel like if a boomer-minded take like, "Vidja games are for kids yuk yuk", literally everyone would rip into them.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

By responding, regardless of what you say... you've given them information that you exist as a human.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

I once watched a woman walk into a supermarket just openly being pregnant. Fortunately she behaved, because some of the other folks were concealed pregnant.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

It's one real news piece, followed by 20 people's response to that news piece, followed by manufactured drama about those opinions, over and over again.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I never upgraded software-wise. Moreso my tech got so outdated that new hardware I'd get (I only use Windows for gaming) would have the latest Windows installed - exactly what Microsoft wants.

I think Proton/Linux in the past year is going to really disrupt that strategy.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Sorry for your loss.

They will now be part of the boomers being fools community.

My wife's parents went crazy lead brained. They went pure antivaxxer and said if we don't want our kids to have grandparents, then get vaccinated. We lolled and said, "Bye".

It's been four years now.

They now pretend like they didn't say that every few months by sending us gifts and cards, that we promptly give away to charity.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Thats going to be every single one of them.

Musk really fucked around here.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

25% of people makes up a quarter of the population!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Nah, I don't need to act dumb. I'm dumb already

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Ooof! That "View on GitHub" button made me believe it was the real one

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Makes sense.

Its literally a weekend job and a few bucks to quickly set up a fake site. Even with a single $20 donation are you already recouping your losses.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

That comes off as a personal preference, which depending on the type of person, will walk all over you.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

This isn't a good idea. This is just burying the issue rather than confronting it.

They will bring it up later.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

A firm statement is fine in my opinion.

"It sounds like a lot but we need to focus on the work and this isn't something that's helping."

If it continues, a direct message of "Not my thing. I really don't have a dog in this race."

Online CPR course - that's incredible.

Jan. 6 Situation Room Officer Reveals Trump Fans ‘Came That Close’ To Murdering VP In Stunning New Interview ( www.mediaite.com )

Former White House Situation Room officer Mike Stiegler revealed that then-President Donald Trump never called down to check on then-Vice President Mike Pence as Trump fans hunted him at the Capitol, and that we were “that close” to losing the VP....

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

What a wild timeline. Nearly died but hey, maybe I'll put him in office again.

Mike Pence will not endorse Trump, but will not rule out voting for him

Tell me which political party implemented this?

And which political party made it incredibly difficult to dismantle in the House/Senate?

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Have you considered that your central position doesnt actually do shit besides bitch and moan?

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Seen loads of trans people say they always knew.

Uh what?

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I once said that in a meeting and forgot I was in a work environment. Had to backpedal and explain I was joking.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

GPU, render my 4.2 MB json file!

In some towns, these yokels will stop in the middle of the street to wave you to jaywalk.

Like Jesus Christ, NOOO! Stop being polite!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

My circle unfortunately calls it a Roomba, even if it's off brand.

Kind of like how sometimes we call tissues Kleenex.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Did not know that!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Came here to share air fryers.

I hate kitchen gadgets. Even toasters.

But I like this!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Sometimes its a gift. My bread maker was a gift, and it brings me a lot of value, but I prob won't pay for it.

Other times it's something pushed on you for fun. My wife made me buy a thermostat gun and now I love it. I test it on the kids too for fun.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

You have to be a certain level of stupid to believe a migrant is the reason your pay sucks.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Undersupply of jobs? That's weird coming from all the "nobody wants to work" rhetoric.

If a company wants to pay a illegal/migrant worker over an red blooded American, that's capitalism baby! Solve that issue instead.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I'm still optimistic. No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk, and Fallout 76 took their heaping trash and glued things until it became fun. And Starfield has a lot of really good working pieces that can be salvaged.

But you might also be right. I can't imagine Bethesda fixing quests or narrative elements.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I learned that from Fallout 76, with the gold billions!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Look at that goalpost move!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Cruelty is the goal.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

We don't.

We're constantly on edge.

Every single message I get from my kids school during the day, I hope it's not a dreaded "school shooting" warning.

Even shit like taking my kids to the park, I have to look around to ensure it's fine. While parents look at me wondering if I'm safe or not.

It's a shit show.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Apparently that line of thinking upsets the gun nuts.

Give a gun to every protester.

Arm every child.

That'll keep everyone safe, right? Right?

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

We are super triggered now.

Next, he's going to wear diapers and shit himself. We'll be so owned.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Tech people look like semi homeless bums because we don't know how to dress ourselves. We aren't buying expensive clothes. We're spending our money on hardware, goofy nerdy shit, or investing in stonks for some reason.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I can't remember which American jingoism movie it was about Iraq, but it had a scene like this.

The brown people are like, "You Americans are only here to take our oil!"

And the bootlicking soldier was like, "No, we're here to make you rich."

And while it sounds cool at the time, that was a load of BS.
