I’m a simple man.

I got to thepiratebay.org

I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server

I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.

Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!

What’s even crazier is he freely admits to this.

He continues to freely admit that the best way to get views is to be seen as rich and generous because kids love that stuff.

He only knows how to YouTube and Market and he says this all the time.

Mildly related.

I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.

I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said

“I don’t feel bad for white people.”

And honestly

1. I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history

But also

2. Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.

This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still

I run stock Pop OS and I’ve only recently wanted to give a shit about macros.

You should only care if you’re running a specific software. By and large its AS SEEMLESS as using Windows.

Note that its not really BETTER its mostly just DIFFERENT.

This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before

He is after all a humble man.

That’s fun!

Rewriting a paper over and over is usually how I work out all my weird parts.

I use github pages for my blog and its whole point is tracking version changes. So now I’m deeply curious about what that would look like with an ever changing singular blog post. The intellectual journey wed see watching an author refine a single idea seems very interesting.

I’d genuinely read it every update that sounds like the kinda woke intellectualism I’m all about!

I did too. So I started a blog.

Heavily recommend it. And if you don’t know what to write about, I’ve found giving a list of topics you like and asking a chatbot of your choice to generate an assignment is a good use for them.

Not the paper itself but the assignment prompt

Everyone in this green text is autistic.

I’m probably just stupid.

Yeah that’s what’s going to happen with the main blog.

Forgejo action > static HTML site > Cloudflared tunnel

This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won’t have to sign in or make an account to comment.

As a guy who’s cleaned far too many smoker fucked PCs.

99% Isopropyl and a tooth brush is what you need. It won’t be fast, but you need that kinda precision and attention to make sure you got everything.

You might also consider just replacing any fans. I don’t know if you have a laptop or a desktop, but a laptop fan is a bitch to clean

Oh was the ice cream machine broke? I hear he gets mad about that

Only ones who dissapointed me were Star Trek: Voyager actors. Its the only thing I got attached to as a kid.

Robert Beltran - Commander Chakotay

Roxann Dawson - B’Elanna Torres

Both transphobes and trump supporters who won’t shut up about no one wanting to invite them to Star Trek stuff anymore.

I used to feel bad for Rob because he got such a shit treatment in ST:V in terms of writing and because his character fell victim to Jamake High water’s grifting (look him up if you want to see why 90’s native american characters kinda suck).

Seems he’s just an asshole about being famous. Doesn’t like being recognized in public.

TBH, I don’t blame him. I’ll take it over everyone else in this thread.

Behind on the lore.

What did Shaq do other than nearly every ad in the world? I can accept being a sell out for car insurance but anything egregious?

I think her dying trying is an important part of the point here.

I don’t agree with it. I’m sure there’s a more nuanced cause of death, but that’s between step 2 and 3.

If I was depressed and the onion was already cut.

Yeah I’d eat it. Might eat it like that just to see.

Any idea what kinda cheese?

From the inside he looks like a republican.

But that’s how its been for a while. This years Dem is last decades Rep.

I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.
