Is the user base on lemmy really large enough to warrant an AI bot to shill payday loans? Like, come on man, let us have nice things for once in this goddamn hellscape of an internet.

Costco is unique in its food court prices, they must be heavy into loss leader territory at this point. It was a really good deal back before covid, and these days it's basically daylight robbery compared to anywhere else.

Not only that, but the food kiosks (at my local location, anyway) don't scan your costco membership either, so you can just walk in the exit and get some food without signing up.

I'm glad people still remember this, I immediately heard it in my head when I saw this post

My office used to do this, until upper management caught wind and threw an absolute fit over it. Then they paid the building manager to come in and remove the lightswitches so we couldn't turn the lights off ever again, there's literally an alarm that goes off if the circuit is broken.

Yay for having a mild headache every single day!

Or in my case, wake up with a blinding migraine every day

God this game and soundtrack is so good.

This is a great write-up, thanks for your take.

Hey, I just set this up yesterday! Worked flawlessly for me so far, seems like a great project.

Well, all of this sure hits hard, doesn't it. My automatic response of trying to invalidate your points to convince myself I'm okay isn't working very well, you didn't leave a lot of room for me to rationalize with this one.

Thanks for that, I needed to hear it. The trust issue in particular makes it difficult to actually get help for this, but maybe I should finally bite the bullet one of these days and see a therapist or something.

Humanity always seems to learn the wrong lessons from historical events, doesn't it? Hurt people hurt people, I guess...

I disagree honestly, the context made it very clear what was meant here, and was a proper use of the word imo.

I personally had a lot of luck save-scumming by savequitting the game and copying the files elsewhere at every holy mountain. (there are scripts floating around that make this easier) Then when I died, I could revisit that area without risking much progress, and it made the game much more fun while I tried to scale the truly formidable learning curve.

Nowadays I feel much more comfortable just doing normal runs, so I guess I 'graduated' lol, some understanding of the wand-building goes wayyyyy further than I expected.

Perhaps alt left?

Excellently put.

It wasn't always, and it's not explicitly a trans sub, but yeah it's definitely been very trans-oriented since well before we migrated here from reddit

You know, I don't really agree with this, but I appreciate you saying it. We need more people just coming out and saying what they think, rather than clamming up because their opinions are now unpopular but then continuing to act/bully the same behind the scenes. Bluntness is a virtue in my world, because I can actually parse what you say this way lmao

I believe discrete is the word you're looking for there, though discreet is really funny in this context.

it looks like there’s another wick preloaded into the bottom half

Ughhhhhh, just logging in in the morning and seeing the tab header go to 'Inbox (27)' is awful.
