If you know those five intuitively, adding and subtracting become automatic even with adhd.

1 + 9 = 10

2 + 8 = 10

3 + 7 = 10

4 + 6 = 10

5 + 5 = 10

My boi, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!

Where I'm from, we were massively talking about it in the 80s when I was a kid. It promply stopped by the end of the 90s. Then all of sudden, we don't hear much about it.

It's so fucked up to be told all your life that your are insane to believe in climate change, and then about 40 years later, most people talk about it as if it was a given.

We should not be anxious about climate change, we should be furious.

Godot is great.

Try not to shoot someone on your way to the parking lot.

For those who don't know, while previous tensions regarding the recent pension protests are most likely not helping the current situation, these riots are about a cop murdering a 17 years old in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.

Mainstream media pushed the narrative that it was the fault of the parents if the teenager was a thug and tried to present the kid as a dangerous individual (while he had some issues with the law, his lawyer insisted he didn't have a criminal record). The cop in question claimed the teen tried to ram him with his car and shot him out of self defense. Multiple videos of the event emerged and the police officer's claim turned out to be a complete lie (he even threatened to put a bullet in his head if he didn't comply for not having his license or something like that). Apparently, this is the kind of story that happens quite a lot in these parts of France, but now that videos of it emerged it caused the current outrage.

Now the government is claiming the riots are caused by social medias and video games and two police unions wrote a press release declaring war on these "hordes sauvages" (savages hordes) and "nuisibles" (harmful/detrimental) referring to the people of Naterre by all means necessary. (Some politicians from the oppositions are quite disturbed by it).

I'm not French, but that's what I got from multiple reports so far, I might be missing some details.

Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder. Sexually abusing a child is a terrible crime.

Lots of pedophiles will never touch a child. Alternatively, some people who are not pedophiles will sexually assault children (sometimes, it can be just a power dynamic thing for example).

I think you are confusing the terms. Nobody here is defending people who assault children.

I'm not an expert on the psychology of pedophilia, but I don't think it has anything to do with addiction. It seems to be a paraphilia/disorder.

Culture should be available to everyone, I agree.

The dialogues are super fluid and dynamic. You can interrupt people and even steer conversations towards other topics with your choices. Conversations are in realtime. Dialogues feel so natural, you really should look it up if game dialogue design is something you find interesting.

It's like the philosopher bit in Baldur's Gate 2. A philosopher is arguing with a man about this and then the man in question murders him in plain sight.

If you are quick enough, you can stop the philosopher from being killed. If you do so, the philosopher will be mad at you because you prevented him from proving his point to the man he was speaking to.

PC is cheaper in the long run.

You don't need new controllers or any proprietary accessories when switching console and you can buy games on steam sales (which can be insanely cheaper).

You can also update your pc if you want it to last a bit longer.

I think consoles made more sense back then. If you like your console that's fine, but I'm pretty sure pc is much cheaper and last longer when you consider all those factors.

I know it's a meme, but you don't need $3K for decent gaming PC unless you want overkill performance. If you get components on sale, you can build something pretty good for $600 to $700 (excluding monitor, mouse and keyboard). You just be patient and fool around on pcpartpicker.

Carbohydrates. We love em carbs.

I worry some safe spaces for specific mental illnesses will take quite some time to emerge in here since they are very "niche" communities.

I think it can be very important for some people to engage with people who share the same struggles. I would totally understand if some people decide to keep using reddit for that sole purpose.

Leave? How?

"The cloud".

In the end "the cloud" is just someone else's hard drive. Call me old fashioned, but I'll keep my data on my own hard drives.

I don't agree, it was hilarious.

I'm very grateful for this post. Thank you very much.

(Vertical Inverted) I see the joystick as my head. If I push it up forward (like my head), I'll end up looking at my feet and if I pull it backward, I'll be looking at the ceiling.

I easily can imagine someone facing a wall and pissing in a bottle while looking at this poster.

I have zero problem with gen Z.

Huuumm, I don't know. This whole thing gave birth to that garfield picture. Personally, I'd call that a win.

Last sentence is on point though.

Wait, what? I have to buy a PC about every 10 to 15 years and it does't cost me "thousands". Last year, I bought one for about $700 and I can run every game at maximum settings with no issues.

Just wait for components to be on sale (it happens often) and you'll have a good pc for a very good price.

My HDD full of those games and an another one as a backup both say otherwise. We are legion of preservers.

I really don't give a shit about a company like Amazon that gaslights its employees into not voting for an union through a bullshit campain, that sabotages said votes, and that overworks them to the point they are forced to piss in bottles and shit in bags.

I kinda hope they fucking sink to be honest.

I'm not using reddit again unless to lurk some info here and there if it is needed to find information I couldn't find on lemmy. I won't participate in the Reddit community anymore even if reddit is backing down. The federated philosophy is just much more alligned with my values. If anything, this whole blackout situation accelerated my innevitable switch.

I am not surprised. Currently, France's democracy is being challenged by its current government. They also tried to outlaw filming the police in 2020 (luckily the law didn't pass). Recently, they constantly used special laws to pass their laws even if they don't have majority in parliament (especially their retirement law even if 70% of the population and 90% of the workers didn't want this law to pass). They are trying to push a biometric mass surveillance law for the 2024 Olympics. The way the government has been dealing with the recent protests has been heavily criticized by Amnesty International. Police violence has been over the top (the Saint-Soline water protest was literally a war zone) and countless unlawful arrests including unjustified police custody have been done.

It's a real shit show.

It's quite alright, after this go study and then come back in time and just put your law diploma somewhere. Let's say we put it under the couch over there.

Ah, there it is!

I'm serious. You won't have ray tracing shenanigans or whatnot, but you'll run everything 1080p at max settings smoothly. You just need to wait for components to be on sale (especially the gpu and the cpu). Like I said, it doesn't include peripherals. That's what I did, it totally can be done.

Only Lemmy for me now.

FOSS all the way. I don't want to be dependent on proprietary software as much as possible.

That was for Monster Hunter Rise/Sunbreak. I think Capcom fixed the steam deck issue now.

Monster Hunter World still works perfectly for me.

Nah, I'll definitely get that latte instead.

Oh, I assume people are talking about controller here, I could never play inverted on a mouse/keyboard.

It's treason then!
