I think from Gen X onwards it just gets more and more common.

Also, people will say "I don't play computer/video games" and then spend hours on Candy Crush or whatever.

I picked up Sun Haven. I was thinking of playing it the other day, and the steam sale reminded me it existed. (I'm having fun with it, but the play experience is somewhat janky.)

Other items on my wishlist on much bigger discounts are just sitting there because I don't have the mental space for them.

My choices now are

Mastodon
Lemmy
Kbin
Actually edit the novel

Once again, thank you!

Ha!

That sounds peaceful

Very good luck with all of that!

I used it to overwrite everything so if they restore it they'll have a whole lot of comments saying "So long and thanks for all the cheese." I did it twice just in case of reversion.

I think over time it will be. Usenet used to hold the body of knowledge, then it was fora and then reddit.

The Finnish song Cha Cha Cha is awesome. It should have won Eurovision!

We're just along for the ride. The people profiting from this have all the money and aren't going to change their mind because they think they can buy a solution for just themselves.

So, like the knowledge that we all die one day no matter what happens, it just has to be something you live with. Until you don't.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

I don't see the flick knife?

LOL. Unfortunately he isn't Gibbs.

If you can afford it, I found that the Pimsleur technique taught me how to speak well better than anything else I tried. I've forgotten the Spanish I know because I didn't keep using it, but it got me to a decent adult conversational level in about a month at half an hour a day and I was always speaking 'adult' sentences right from the start, both copying then making new ones.

For the chess rule, you may need an x before and a + after.

Okay but how do I not do weird shit for three days straight?

I used it yesterday to overwrite everything, twice, before I deleted every comment more than a week old.

It was very freeing!

I want to feed it drosophila and sing lullabies to it!

Ha! This is what I came here to look for. You did a much better job of it than I would have done!
