Hustle culture, sure. Side hustles, sure. The concept that a game company should pay me to play their game, nope.

I’ve literally never heard a single person bring that idea up. Acting like it’s somehow a widely held belief because that dude said so is idiotic.

Yeah, I’m at that point now. Normally I don’t engage this heavily with obvious trolls, guess this is my quarterly reminder why I don’t.

Right? This dude can’t comprehend that he’s the problem here, not a writing challenge/competition. Reminds me of a saying “If it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your shoe”

Sure lil buddy, whatever you say. Have fun being an overly verbose, abrasive dickwad and thinking that it somehow makes you an intellectual, that’ll show people not to “catch attitude with you.”

On the off chance that you’re actually open to hearing any kind of criticism, sure:

1. You made a post on a small forum about an objectively obscure topic, seemingly with the expectation that people would understand an acronym for that obscure topic.
2. Numerous comments essentially asked “what the fuck does that even mean?”
3. When faced with an opportunity to introduce more people to this obscure topic with some modicum of grace, you instead made what appeared to be a sarcastic, disparaging comment that people should obviously just know what you’re talking about.
4. When called out for #3, you decided that everyone in this thread clearly hated the obscure topic that none of them had even heard of, rather than realizing that people reacted poorly to your poorly disguised arrogance and pretentious comments.

That is the most pretentious way of saying “nuh-uh” I’ve read today. Feel free to continue your string of pseudo-intellectual, self-aggrandizing bullshit, but don’t expect me to clap for you.

You can sit around and be a pretentious dick all you want, or you can take this as an opportunity to welcome people to something that you enjoy. Clearly you’ve already decided to do the former.

Playing D&D with some people on Friday, then setting up my new Sawstop table saw. After that, building a miter saw station for some storage and more effective use of space in my shop. I doubt I’ll finish that, but then I need to finish restoring an old planer from sometime between 1935 and 1986 (got everything taken apart, cleaned up, painted, put back together, just need to rewire it) so I can sell my cheap one. If I manage to get all of that done, then I have some nightstands to build

Melatonin gives me some trippy ass dreams/night terrors

Congrats!

Exactly. I’m not going to pay a fuckload of money for multiple streaming services only to still not see my fucking team every week.

Oh no, a small number of my users are actually using my service the way I advertised it. Better change it

$20 is still pretty cheap for no ads. That’s less than two months of a streaming service

I have similar filters set up for accounts and instances. After filtering and refreshing, I never see content from those sources again

You dropped this

I love that if you’re able to spam the talk button quick enough before he hits the ground, he just says “I don’t want to talk about it”

In the US, the Coast Guard puts out Local Notice to Mariners once a week, and will push one out if there is a new hazard to navigation reported.

If you’re in anything larger than a small fishing boat, update your charts. Shit changes quick on the sea.

Ok, thanks for the reply! I’ve been using Sync for a decade, and it is by far the best app I’ve used. Thanks for all your work porting it over to Lemmy!
