The ten crack commandments

Honestly surprised that the dev company known for milking DLC for decades decided not to release its Sims knockoff

Dynasty Warriors with Path of Exile’s crunchiness

And it should have the soundtrack like DW6 did because that shit ruled

“I was simply pretending” lmao ok

I keep thinking about this because it’s so fucking funny. “We’ve invented a way to reintroduce some of the emotional nuance innate in vocal communication and add further symbolic references to text!” “My god, you’re an imbecilic caveman! You’re destroying civilization!”

Of all the things to get Ted Kaczynski over, emojis is easily the funniest one

We had one crash the site once even.

Those are awful names for people but fantastic names for bands.

Down here in the states Kevin is normally associated with the Call of Duty demographic stereotype - a young (15-25) dumb pothead who drinks too much Monster and punches holes in drywall when he gets mad.

Testicles, but pronounced like Hercules (“tes-ti-CLEEZ”)

Most of the “stuff everyone should buy” is stuff you really don’t need as a teenager, like cast-iron cookware or a stand mixer. If you have hobbies you want to pursue, you should find a specific group around that hobby and ask them. A lot of black Friday “deals” aren’t really deals, though - some companies will actually produce lower quality product lines specifically for black Friday sales, so if you end up buying something big like a TV or something like that make sure you do a little research.

If you want general financial advice, I wouldn’t put it in a retirement account like the other guy said. You have plenty of time for that, and you probably have milestones coming up that you’ll want money for - buying a car, graduation celebrations, going to college, getting your own place, whatever. So saving it for that kind of stuff is never a bad idea.

Unmuting wasn’t in the original specs

Didn’t they make that for video games?

Or a gun

For us over at Hexbear that’s a feature, not a bug. Our instance exists explicitly because we don’t want to be subjected to the political moderation of others.

How would someone buy Lemmy? Even if they bought one instance it could just be forked

What if I told you it was more than just the business cycle

What if I told you the entire economic structure acted like this

Check out the business lifecycle. “Enshittification” occurs after a business reaches maturity and has to squeeze more money out of its users or decline. Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter are all businesses, so they follow this cycle - Lemmy and Mastodon are not so they do not. That’s not to say that bad moderation can’t crater a user base, but it’s not inevitable like it is with businesses.

He can also fund and arm the Indonesian government while it commits genocide in East Timor

And he wasn’t competent. He squandered a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate for two years by sitting to the right of both chambers of Congress, and ended up heralding the deregulation and deunionization that we blame Reagan for.

Try a different laundry detergent.
