What could possibly be the value proposition here?

Guinea is hard to find. Where in PA? That’s where I’m at but I haven’t heard of this place.

I’m down! The more turn-based games the better. Final Fantasy tactics is one of the best games of all time

Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.

I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens’ issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?

First whole bean coffee? Oh man, welcome to the good stuff.

No matter what coffee purists tell you, the single best change to my daily coffee quality of life was simply going from ground to grinding fresh whole beans every morning. I will never go back.

Surprisingly melancholy comic.

They can’t even do bullshit PR correctly. You do the listening tour before the steady stream of unpopular decisions that go against the feedback you just collected.

-Password crackdown

-Removal of Basic Plan

-Aggressive advertising to up-package

-Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget ‘reality’ TV

Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.

Quite a few. I grew up in a conservative, racist family. It took me a long time to unwind the problematic casual phrases I grew up with. I’m not proud of it, and I occasionally cringe looking backwards. I realize now the tremendous weight and damage those phrases could do. Now I just try to be better day by day, and to make sure I don’t perpetuate those damaging habits in my own children.

Good points. I guess I was thinking about it from the stereotypical “adult gamer with disposable income” perspective. Not those gamer’s kids.

You say “used to”. Has it been overfished?

Great question. A lot of government agencies consider Kentucky as part of the southeast, but I would say that culturally Kentucky falls squarely into Appalachia, along with West Virginia, Tennessee, western NC, southwestern Virginia, and southern Ohio. I would also say that Kentucky has a pretty wide metro/rural split, with Lexington and Berea being very different places.

I remain dumbfounded as to how Roblox got so big and is now publicly traded.

Colombia whole beans from Costco, same thing as everyday until I finish this 3lb bag lol

Connect is good, don’t get me wrong, but I want this badly

I’m a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I’ll bounce over to that app. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn’t have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don’t have to feel as gross doing it.

Pretty easy to see that this will lead to immediate short-term gains but long-term pain. I can’t tell you the amount of infinite loops I’ve found myself in with AI chat, even among the most simplistic questions.

My wife got me a fitbit. I resisted a little bit because I didn’t want to have yet another device to monitor, charge, and maintain etc. I’ve been really surprised and impressed and how effective it has been in subtly encouraging me to make some small improvements in my habits. Not a bad deal for $100.

I would be absolutely shocked if this wasn’t just smoke and mirrors marketing.
