Good call. Let’s ban them both.

I’m personally on the fence about this type of stuff. On one hand, yes I 100% agree about actually keeping kids safer online (not like the politicians “Think of the kids!” type of “safety”). On the other I don’t want anyone to have to give up privacy by having to confirm their age by sending some form of verification, whether that picture/video of ID with birth date on it or having an AI that will inevitably get so many false positives judge you, just to access a service online.

Any sort of jokes about hoarding toilet paper or anything else ridiculous during the pandemic. I’ve always thought they were already cringe to begin with, but I assume that if society doesn’t completely collapse before the 2030s that people will hopefully look back and call those cringe.

I don’t believe it’s cursed at all, but my parents and older brother believe some small Japanese statue doll thing of a geisha (supposed to be holding a shamisen, but it’s missing) that they ended up giving to me to store in my room is cursed. Since I don’t think it’s cursed, I have no issue holding onto it.

Showed up one day on the dinner table one day and I’m fairly certain my brother got it and was either too drunk or high on weed (or a combo of both) to remember picking it up while he was out. I don’t believe him when he says he doesn’t know where it came from.

Sadly the only people who would switch over to an actual Linux phone would be the people like the stereotypical Linux using Lemmy user. The average android user would just continue on like nothing happened because they’re not tech literate enough to know what’s going on or why they should care.

At this point, there are definitely plenty, but I’d personally say my top picks are definitely (in no particular order):

• Brok the Investigator

• Franklin (yes I’m a child at heart sometimes)

• New Vegas and the DLCs

• Borderlands (on xbox360 w/ all 4 DLCs, have been playing on and off for over a decade and still have way too much stuff left)

• An American Tail (definitely in my top 3, if not my absolute favorite 3D animated film ever)

As an arachnophobe, I personally made it my mission to block that community without looking so I’d never have to see it again. Can’t stand spiders.

On my laptop/desktop, for now I’d say Strawberry Music Player because I like playing/listening to the audio files I’ve stored locally on them.

For my phone, it’s currently Auxio for the same reason.

These are subject to change if I find something better.

Have yet to personally block any instances. So far I think the closest I’ve come is blocking a spider community because fuck those hell spawns and a Minecraft community or two.

Edit:

Found out there’s more than I remember being blocked. Multiple mc communities, a cock community (, because that stuff ain’t for me and I remember accidentally clicking on one post from there by accident), a pussy community because I don’t come here for porn, a Sintendo community, some bikinibottomtwitter or something similarly named community (you can guess why), and for some reason an xbox community (couldn’t tell you why).

Also, I noticed for some reason I have someone from a different instance that I cannot remember why I blocked. Some guy from lemmt(dot)tf, so I have absolutely no clue since I have no idea what that instance is like, let alone remember anything about that account.

To be fair, it’s been over a decade since I’ve seen it, so I can only remember vague images of it.

Edit:

I couldn’t even remember the right brand. Chrysler Concord.

If I had the money and knew people who could do this type of stuff, you bet I’d wanna buy my favorite 90s vehicle and turn it into an EV

Edit:

Tried looking up the vehicle because I wanted to remember what it’s called, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it is, even after attempting to look it up. All I remember is that it was potentially a Chevrolet with 3 seats up front, 3 in the back, and a little divider thing in the middle of the back seats you could pull out.

I absolutely loved it and it was a sad day when we had to get rid of it. It may have been a safety hazard, with the back heating up and burning (thankfully it didn’t actually reach the seats, just heated them up, or there could have been 3 burned minors, myself included), but I still love it since it was the family car.

I’m definitely gonna have to continue searching for the name, using my limited car knowledge.

Edit Edit:

I’m not a car person, so shoot me for this if you want, but it was actually a Chrysler Concord. Again, I’m not a car person, so I don’t know much about vehicles other than basic things like how to change a tire or on changing the oil on a 2000s Toyota Town and Country.

My mechanically inclined father came to the rescue as to what it was.

Slim chance, but for my first and only scratch ticket, being only one away from winning is pretty cool in my book.

Not rich, but definitely more well off. As a one off thing, bought myself a scratch ticket and almost won somewhere around $20,000. Luck almost shined on me.

Perfect Blue

I absolutely love and hate how they mess with your perception of not only time but what’s real because I could see myself in situations where I couldn’t tell you how long has passed and/or having to question if what I’m seeing is real or not.

There are a couple console games and one in my steam library that absolutely come to mind. As for which I think is worse is definitely up for debate because I think I dislike these 3 equally, even if I can only remember why I dislike two of them.

Don’t remember the exact entry, but I borrowed a Dynasty Warrior game from my brother (who didn’t like it as far as I’m aware) for xbox360 and something about it I just didn’t like at all. Then there’s Worms Blast. For a spin-off of worms, that from what I remember just feels like a worse bubble bobble style game, I was absolutely disappointed.

The Steam game is Macbat 64. By no means is it unplayable, add riddled, or full of annoyances preventing me from playing, but I beat it in less than 50 minutes. It’s a 3D platformer whose relatively small levels pay homage to other games, but it just wasn’t fun for me due to lack of content I was interested in (longer levels with more going on) when it comes to 3D platformers.

I think I remember the hydrogen fuel thing.

Also, fuck Popular Science for making me think there was gonna be a zombie apocalypse due to some drug that turns you into a zombie.

I remember a little over a decade ago while I was still in public school hearing about super advanced cars that had self driving were coming soon, yet we’re hardly anywhere closer to that goal (if you don’t count the Tesla vehicles running red lights incidents).

I’d believe AI will replace human programmers when I can tell it to produce the code for a whole entire video game in a single prompt that is able to stand up to the likes of New Vegas, has zero bugs, and is roughly hundreds of hours of content upon first play due to vast exploration.

In other words, I doubt we’ll see human programmers going anywhere any time soon.

Edit:

Reading other replies made me remember how I once, for fun, tried using a jailbroken copilot program to do python stuff slightly above my already basic coding skill and it gave me code that tried importing something that absolutely doesn’t exist. I don’t remember what it was called ince I deleted the file while cleaning up my laptop the other day, but I sure as hell looked it up before deleting it and found nothing.

The funny thing about that is that I am currently on my laptop getting keepassxc set up. This post has somehow motivated me to finally get a password manager.
