I’ve slowly built up the ability to feel accomplishment for some tasks, but it’s still far more fleeting than it seems to be for nuerotypicals.
It’s mostly spite driven too, which I don’t think is healthy. “Fuck you Microsoft! I’m better!” “Fuck you software vendor! I’m better!”
I think I grew mine out before 20, but it’s stayed on because it absolutely made me look older.
I tried clean shaven a few times since and I end up looking like I’m 16 again. No thanks.

I used to play runescape with a neighbor from elementary school up through middle school. We even gifted each other membership a few times for birthdays.
Lost touch with him in high school, except for one time he showed off that he was up pretty high on the leaderboards and doing competitive shit.
Ran into him this weekend, it’s been like 20 years. Both had our kids out at a park. Caught up.on a bunch of stuff, but my dumb ass forgot to ask him if he still played, and what he though of the upcoming sailing skill release in Old School Runescape.
Republicans are traditionally, and on paper, the party of “small government”. “Fuck off feds, it’s none of your business” type shit. Some just wanted a small central government that let states and local government make their own choices, some wanted as small a government as possible at all levels.
Which is also why you see a minority of old school republican voters refusing to call Trump’s clown show republican.
That capitalization style is meant to be mocking, because the current dipshits in power clearly don’t have any intentions of “small government”.
I swear a huge part of it is the action economy. You have four people vs 12. If you aren’t taking out like one each turn you end up in a slow ass death spiral.
The game also expects you to do a shit ton of the side content, but doesn’t always sign post it well, and it also clearly has an idea of the order the side content should be tackled in that there’s no sign posting for at all.
I can see the bones of a great game, but I don’t understand why I don’t see more people complaining about the abysmal combat balance.
Edit: You didn’t answer my question. You brought up what’s already been established.
Skull tattoo. I’m sorry, most Americans are not so familiar with Nazi symbols to identify that specific skull design as Nazi. Swastika, SS, Iron Cross, sure. A skull and crossbones? Wouldn’t clock it. I thought it was a generic “bad guy” symbol in the comedy sketch you have a screenshot from. And he’s had it covered up.
If he knew, why would he allow someone to take a picture of it?
So… your second point is just that you don’t agree with America’s involvement with those wars at all. Which is less to do with this guy than with America’s choices of war. Valid, I agree, but not a signpost that he’s a Nazi. Unless all Americans involved in those were secretly Nazis.
Look. I don’t think anyone’s calling him trustworthy or a good person, but this insistence that he must be a Nazi due to a tattoo that he’s gotten covered up, when he’s been so open about all of it is silly.
He didn’t try to get the photo taken down. He didn’t deny it. He didn’t get belligerant and say he wasn’t going to cover it up just to keep people mad. He’s not pretending he didn’t have it.
I’m keeping him on my radar, but when US politics is filled with so damn many overt and explicit racists and Nazis that are so damn comfortable being mask off, I’m not ready to stomp down on this guy yet.
A soldier, trained for warfare, and enjoying it is quite disturbing for people who never encounter it. I’m disturbed by it. That said, I’m not seeing anything about enjoying bloodshed there. He says he likes small wars because he feels there’s less inhumane brutality.
Is your problem that a soldier enjoys what they do? That makes them a Nazi?
I feel like your comment about killing civilians in the global south is making a big assumption that isn’t even really hinted at. In fact the opposite, as he talks about working with the local community.
Isn’t the pebble watch getting a re-release? Might be neat to tinker with. There’s also a conversion kit thing for one of the classic digital casio watches. Both are tinkering friendly and open source.
Admins will still have ways to remove illegal content, right? I checked the pull request but it’s a little light on details for someone not involved with the inner workings.
Lol, exactly.
And for a completely unasked for ramble: Someone better call the cops because my wife is over a decade older than me. Causes some minor mess here and there in the relationship, but nothing major. Almost every relationship worth having will have some mess now and then.
This ancient video has ruined the Count for me. My toddler is getting into Sesame Street and whenever the original song comes on in the car I have to keep from giggling.
There’s also someone, or some people, clearly practicing their creative writing or something. Usually they make an account, post something weird to asklemmy or a similar community, and then delete it within 4 hours or so.
Usually it’s a “stupid” or obvious question, with some vaguely contreversial twist. Like “My boyfriend has problems with how many guys I’ve fucked… but I also used to be a sex worker”. Stuff that’s within the realm of possible, but not particularly common, or where you’d expect the asker to already be aware of the answer/reason.
They get a few hours of engagement, most of the time don’t engage in the comments, then delete the whole thing.
The first time I loaded the page, the bottom ones didn’t load. It looked like you just had a large blank space at the end.
They’ve loaded now
and require long pressing (or right clicking on desktop) to get the full image URL and open in a new tab/window to view. It would literally be easier to access as an AI. Scrape the page for images and toss at OCR.
Skimmed page 1 and 2 of 25. More followable, but still crazy screed. If it’s literally the last images in that group at the end, congrats, you’ve made it so difficult to access that I no longer care. Cheers!
There’s hardly much of meaning in any of that screed, and the one image is as incomprehesible as the rest of the plain text. What is meaningful in it is almost impossible to follow, and doesn’t resolve to anything particularly meaningful except you think people are unaware of terroristic actions, it was all according to your plans, and you think Trump is personally reading your screed.
If you aren’t in need of serious psychological help, you did an A+ job of making whatever this is read like a 4chan schizo-post.
Also, if the point of the image was to obsfucate against AI, you failed miserably. Plain text in a legible black font on a white background is easily OCR’d into text. Handwriting is slightly harder but is still a pretty well solved thing to parse into text too.
All that said, I’d imagine this could serve as a useful step in data obsfucation when trying for some form of covert communication.
Hey, one thing the US has going for it. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Admittedly, it’s really only because our intelligence agencies have the ability to intercept and invisibly monitor all internet traffic, so they’d rather just put you on a list and use it against you later.
Don’t you know? Discord has a god awful, half implemented, and still practically unsearchable thread system now! You don’t ever have to leave! You wouldn’t want to leave. You’re not allowed to leave.
I’ve seen more than a few crashouts in emulation and gaming related open source devs, and the best advice I have is:
Make an actual fucking wiki, or have someone make it for you. Having everyone funneled into discord where you inevitably end up answerimg the same basic ass questions over and over because search is impossible is soul crushing.
If handling the “social” side of it, as in responding to issues, pull requests, or running a discord server for it is startijng to get to you, fucking ignore them/close them. Or delegate it to someone else.
Try to keep your identity as an open source dev separate from your other identities unless you want to deal with drama related to your software every fucking moment online. Find a way to get some space.
Every time my wife has some medical thing where the symptoms or treatments could be effected by pregnancy. Although usually they just skip the sexually active question and go straight to “is there any possibility you could be pregnant?”
I’ve been present for a number of these during emergency rooms visits, and a few other situations where I had to drive her due to the use of anesthesia.
You’re going to get me thrown out of church for cackling.
There’s plenty of arguments for emotional dysregulation, forgetting what was going on, and impulsiveness.
