Nah dude, that’s Oedipus.

Unpopular opinion warning: after playing and adoring Outer Wilds, I played Subnautica and, while it’s a fine game, I’m having trouble getting engrossed in it. I’ve never been much of a fan of survival games, though (apart from Minecraft if it counts?) and Subnautica may be my favorite in that category… But it’s still firmly in that category

Yes. That implies you are on the same level as Stephen King.

You should publish as Steven Emperor ;)

Trust me. We’re never gonna let you down.

I’m glad life ends but I’d rather have a few more centuries before it does! The two ideas are not mutually exclusive

Someone has been playing Skatebird!

I have been rewatching Friends and it drives me nuts. They regularly jump on top of the couch and the coffee table with their outside shoes on…

I have a Mastodon account but I’m too socially anxious to actually post there

I’m also too socially anxious to post here but the comment format helps me get over it sometimes

That’s true, sorry, I wrote everything in a rush and didn’t separate the two issues. He in fact started that debate saying “for anyone out of the loop, we changed names but we’re actually that other party”

Recent polls show almost 20% of votes to this far right party, which is very scary to me. Roughly one fifth of parliament members would subscribe to this platform. By the way, they aren’t focusing on this topic as much recently but when they rose to power their platform focused essentially on “solving” the gypsy problem in Portugal.

Last Friday there as a debate between all major parties and to my surprise, it went very well for this guy. He is usually very disrespectful during debates, constantly interrupting others, and is also prone to saying bullshit and his opponent wiping the floor with him. But on Friday the representatives of the two biggest political parties, the ruling party (PS, the socialist party) and especially the main opposition (PSD, or SPD in the linked article, the social democratic party) made fools of themselves and all Ventura (far right) had to do was stay quiet and interject at key points. It makes sense since both parties are wrapped up in controversy right now. I still disagreed with his message but I foresee people him getting many votes from those who were uncertain about whether they’d vote for him or for the social democratic party.

Also, not mentioned in the article, last Tuesday there was a debate between parties without parliamentary seats and it was shocking how many far right parties are popping up (there were always some far left parties). With some saying things like “the carnation revolution (where Portugal overthrew its dictatorship) was the biggest treason in the history for this country”…

Amazing how you can work 8 hours without it ever stopping being 1 am. Human beings really are amazing when they are motivated

Question: why does nobody else save and exit with “:x” or “:x!”?

Nah I don’t comment often, I often write whole essays and then end up deleting them because I feel bad about it hahaha

Yeah, me too. I may not be comfortable speaking a lot so this is all one directional, but running into Stamets and Picard Maneuver outside of Star Trek subs always makes me go “hey! I know this person!”

If you tell me I have to choose a Lemmy provider I’ll immediately assume you have to pay for it

Or just go to these alternative interfaces directly and log into any instance:

• Voyager: vger.app
• Alexandrite: alexandrite.app
• Photon: phtn.app

There are several instances of Mlmym (yes, instances of a UI!). Here’s one: lemmy.bolha.one. Tesseract you are supposed to self host, their github has a demo instance but you should probably look into hosting it yourself.

I love Alexandrite myself.

Or you could be so amazing that you’re the reason why someone loves your entire race/gender/creed/country!

… And that in turn makes that person hate all other races/genders/creeds/countries and spend their whole lives committing atrocities to eradicate them, so that everyone in the world looks a bit more like you.

You expressed my own thoughts in a better way than I ever could. I agree completely.

When Place first happened it was such a phenomenon, I think nothing that tries to copy it will ever come close.

Even Reddit’s follow-ups have been much less fun than the first one.
