Either

1. They’re always watching. I’m in tech and was taught in my security training - when traveling to countries with extremely strong surveillance, assume you are bugged. Family could be high valued and they wanted something from the parents. Probably a bit too tinfoil hat.

2. Vengeance girl’s parents could be assholes/racist. As a dude, Ive had my share of “mommy & daddy doesn’t like me for taking their precious flower”. Multiplier in effect if they have a problem that I’m a PoC.

Death Stranding, on paper, sounds like the most boring game ever.

And yet I didn’t just finish it, I chased after achievements! I built all the highways! I 5-starred all the bunkers so I can get dumb little bookbag attachments and get digital Guillermo del Toro to approve of me.

I look forward to the yawn fest that will be Death Stranding 2 and how boring it is. And then I will play it for 100 hours.

Id prefer if he faded to obscurity. I liked his music growing up, but fuck Ye.

How many 80s-2010s musicians do we still see in the news? When was the last time you heard about the band Sugar Ray?

Instead, I have to see this idiot pop into my feed at least once a week. The racist fuckface is also wandering around Tokyo making an album. I know about that because of these random stories on social media.

I feel like this is all marketing BS, and just shitting on the garbage that was Concord to gain more eyeballs

Pest problem? Use Diatomaceous earth. It’s like tiny glass for bugs that rips them apart.

Poisons kill better because they bring it back to the hive. They will also poison your dog, cat, hamster, squirrels, etc.

If Reddit implemented proper blocking, it wouldn’t be a problem.

The quantity of fuckheads who kept brigading from their cesspool into a regular subreddit was infuriating.

Which I think is fascinating. On Reddit, I’d get a post removed with a mail that says something extremely vague. Zero transparency.

And a lot of other situations with review bombing over the past decade.

Like a JRPG, the choice is an illusion.

The real answer is to use a paper towel to open the door.

I’m fond of the paper method. Paper barrier to protect me from the gross handle.

I don’t think Lemmy attracts that crowd, but I used to moderate a fine arts Facebook group and my god… The pretentious drama wars. Like two museum directors were going to strangle each other over a Rembrandt.

Out of all the choices, I like this the most.

The pi 500 looks amazing and I plan to order!

I was somewhat impressed with the specs of the raspberry pi 4. It was fast enough to run a desktop client for a bit. But it started suffering when I tried to code my regular programs on it. I turned it into a server and called it a day.

Where the raspberry Pi 5 is much beefier. And I was getting rid of my aging chromebook too.

No promises, but the monitor was built for low-powered devices. So it should work in theory.

I bought another portable monitor for $70 and that also worked. But so did a cheap $20 used LCD monitor.

Popeyes is amazing. There’s a dozen in my area. Out of all the national fried chicken chains, easily the best.

KFC is disgusting. Dave’s Hot Chicken? More like Dave’s Hot garbage. Wingstop? Just stop. I’m not eating the chicken sandwich that hates gay people.

If you’re asking what the best fried chicken & fried chicken sandwich, unfortunately my city is extremely spoiled with local joints.

You know the headline is packed when there’s a literal golden gun and not a single N64 Goldeneye reference.

AI: bro trust me

At its price point, it’s very underwhelming.

I also did the math and I could get an average phone (used) every year for three years before I break even. And those average phones would be more powerful with each iteration.

Unless you’re bought into eco-friendly minimal waste messaging, it’s really hard to choose fairphone.

Here’s some BS. My phone’s battery replacement cost $220. ($100 for battery, and $120 to be serviced) That was the same price as buying a refurbished version of the upgrade.

I missed the days of just replacing the battery with a screwdriver.

I started collecting all the times it happened but gave up after 3 of them.
