Damn, can we escape the encroaching hellscape by transporting everyone back to 1998? 🫰

Check out Nile Red on Nebula, (or YT if that’s your bag). He makes American Cheese from the ground cheddar up and you can watch. Having done so, I agree with you.

Yes indeed. This is where the Epstein prosecution reached a sweetheart deal.

Gotta get him one of these:

Just adding support for this recommendation. I had 4 gaming headsets before this, and got this for about $140 on sale. It’s far and away the best sounding headset I’ve ever used for non-professional purposes. There are two caveats:

3.5mm jack works on most gaming consoles through the controller. And you can get a super cheap and small adapter from 3.5mm to USB-C if you want to use it with phone or other USB-C input. But if you need wireless this won’t do it.

They are open back style headphones. Meaning there’s a considerable amount of sound leakage into the room with you. Someone sitting next to you can hear every word of your voice chat or phone call. They sound really open airy and have a great sound-stage because of this, but it’s not great if you need privacy. They do make the Game One version with a closed back.

But zero was Majima at his least wacky. He spends most of it just being a regular Yakuza.

Scalpers have turned that into $6000 for the available units left.

You’re going to like the way it rides. I have a Tracer. The CP3 engine is, I think, currently the absolute best engine in the business right now.

Ah, the panic of having to use the bathroom so severely you can’t make it to your book or magazine in time. Oh look, I wonder what Methyllaurelsulfate does?

I always thought the bathroom reader books were tacky and stupid, then a I got a couple and they came in clutch so many times.

Now that I have a phone, I think it’s kinda gross to have items out for everyone to touch while using the toilet. Weird how perception changes.

Tangentially, isn’t the phrase, “WITH abandon,” to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?

Anachronox. Ion Storm at it’s best. Engaging plot and characters, humor well ahead of its time for a game script, and party members and environments that I’ve still never seen many games match to this day. I don’t know why it didn’t become huge, I think the rpg crowd back then was still pretty married to sword and sandal conventions. If you like old games, I can’t recommend it enough.

Obligatory: Uncle Tom was actually a good guy. The idea that he was some kind of traitor or such comes from a crappy adaptation of the book. In the actual book he dies to save some other slaves.

“Rock the vote”?

1. Happy Birthday!
2. They’re great. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll run to check it after seeing the generic weather and compare them. Mine also isn’t in the right place for the wind, but it gets enough I can pretty confidently multiply by a percentage to get the real number. I hope you find yours as interesting as I do.

I think it’s important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.

Ga-lactic is where we get lactic!

Appreciate the informative response. Thanks!

Their Indigo cousins are pretty cool too:

Serious question, did you actually have / find that picture laying around or is that an AI image? No shade either way, it’s fantastic, I’m just always amazed that someone can find a perfect specific picture no matter where the conversation goes.

I’m actually almost impressed that it cites the Lord Mansfield decision of 1772, which effectively abolished slavery throughout the British Empire, and was foundational to the American Abolition movement. It makes a weird kind of sense.

Then again, are they saying they’re not beholden to the US government because they’re still working under imperial law? 🤔

'Cause that’s where I draw the line! 😡
