I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn’t let you forget.

Armada and Armada 2.

I really like RTS games.

No I am Unidan Gallowboob!

African, or European?

I genuinely think this may have crossed his mind.

I mean, that should be the default for everyone, at all times regardless of whether they want to charge you for access. It’s a garbage company run by garbage people and has done more harm to humanity than could ever be measured.

It’s like trying to hold water in your hands.

The tighter you squeeze, the quicker it’s gone.

They’re destroying your shit, you should be allowed to go destroy theirs.

Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…

I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.

I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I’m willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.

However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I’m not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.

From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you’re doing.

I’m sure I’m overestimating the learning curve but it’s still intimidating.

Okay so even though I read all this last night, I somehow missed the “2000 - (-2000) years” thus making the current geological age around 4000 years, and technically Pompeii would not count in the strictest definition. That said, had it happened 4,000 years ago, absolutely nothing would have changed. All the stuff would still be carbonized.

Also from Wikipedia in the (geological age) article: An age is the smallest hierarchical geochronologic unit. It is equivalent to a chronostratigraphic stage.[14][13] There are 96 formal and five informal ages.[2] The current age is the Meghalayan.

So again the answer is “yes it counts” but my personal take is “it feels weird to consider 4,000-10,000 ago multiple different geologic ages”

From wikipedia: A fossil (from Classical Latin fossilis, lit. ‘obtained by digging’)[1] is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

Answer: yes. It does count. Specifically carbonization.

Personal take: when I think of a “fossil”, I think of the stereotypical mineralized bones. Like the T-Rex in the museum of natural history that most people have seen from various movies and TV shows. Thinking of human and human predecessor bones as fossils is just weird to me.

Well, I’ve only seen d9 and chappie, so I’m not too hopeful.

Honestly it’s more “I’m so tired of remakes” but hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by movies before.

Fingers crossed its good.

Lmao this will be so neutered and watered down it will be unwatchable.

$5 says they make it a generic action movie with no deeper meaning than “bugs needed killing we just defended ourselves”

Yet only one of us seems to spend a lot of time on lemmy shitting on others for no reason. Weird.

Have a nice day.

You’re off by a few decades, but sure.

You make a good point, I’ll have to see if there are any practical applications in Europe or Canada.

I believe that my gay neighbors should be able to grow weed in their yard and if you diss our trans homies, we might get violent before we bother asking nicely for you to leave, and if you refuse then the guns are coming out. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Judge away.

I rode a bicycle 120 miles a few years back just because I felt like it one day. I’m probably not the best just for what’s considered “reasonable”

That said, it really is the joke/meme “Americans think 100 years is a long time, Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance”

Personally, I feel like if I’m more than 3 miles away, I’m not local. I may be “from the area” but I’m not “a local”

Most people I know wouldn’t consider 50 miles to be “close” though in terms of “can I pop over for a quick trip or do I need to plan my day around it”

As for car rides, like… If I’m driving I don’t mind so much because I’m occupied by trying not to die, but as a passenger anything over 5 minutes is not a “quick trip”

Man I just love being undesirable in every country due to my beliefs, lifestyle, or lack of a degree.
