This is amazing.

When the first question you are asked for decades when meeting someone is “What do you do?” it gets ingrained that your only value is what you do.

Exactly. I stopped asking that question because I don't wanna be asked that anymore. I ask other guys what their hobby(ies) is(are).

Every time I've opened up it's been ignored at best and ridiculed at worst. I just stopped.

I feel myself heading this way. So much of my identity is wrapped up in what I can do and service I can provide. When my body fails, and it's starting to slow down even now, what will my identity be?

Deep rock Galactic is my vote. It doesn't have a narrative, but it does have a very thin campaign. It's mostly a few voice overs and random missions. However, the difficulty is scalable, if you're looking for a challenge. The game is incredibly movement focused. Each class has a movement power that's unique. Gunners get zip lines that are slow but go up and anyone can use them. Scout has a grappling hook that's fast and unlimited but only they can use it. Engineer makes platforms that anyone can scale. Driller can tunnel thru the rock any direction. The terrain is deformable.

I relate to this. My father isn't as openly hostile as yours sounds, but he's a narcissist. One year, he decided he was to busy to visit my kids, his grandkids. He's retired.

For me, there is an emotional tug that will always be there, not for him, but for a father that loves me. Rationally, I remind myself of why I haven't talked to him in 5 years. It's gotten easier over time, but it still flares up occasionally.

For TV and movies, I like Screen Crush. Their humor is perfect for me, I like their mascot dog, and the ads aren't as bad as New Rockstars.

I used to follow corridor crew before they started huffing their own farts.

When people in my friend group say dumb shit, I don't attack them for it. I mildly question it. I'll respond with "eh... I dunno about that." or "you sure about that?" or "that's not cool, dude." something mild. Give them a chance to save face. If their behavior keeps up, I amp up my responses in strength. "that's seriously wrong." or "knock if off" in a more stern tone.

If that doesn't work, I'll state that I don't really like what's going on and I don't wanna be around that. You can't control others, and so I imply I'm thinking of leaving. If they still change their behavior then maybe it's time to leave.

People change over time, you've changed, they've changed. Maybe the season of this friend group has passed.

two !asklemmy communities

do you mean !asklemmy@lemmy.ml and !asklemmy@lemmy.world ?

Whichever one works. I switch between Cura and PS. I'm not skilled enough to figure out the differences. I make small adjustments here and there, but IDK what I'm doing. My last print had over extrusion on the top surface, but not the walls, so I switched from Cura to PS and it works now.

Someone else paying the bills.

Most microwaves have a dial to set Wattage. Is that a lie?

I've never seen this. The power setting on every microwave in my life has modified duty cycle. 30% power is 3s on, 7s off.

Double the time, half the power. It works so well. The difference between 1 minute and 2 doesn't bother me, I'm off doing something else.

Behind the Bastards

I really, really need to listen to more. My spouse made me listen to the Steven Segal episodes. Wow, I knew he was a jerkwad, but I didn't know how extensively terrible he is.

Way more than 3, lol.

How is WAN show lately? I tried to listen a while back but Linus... comes off really, really full of himself and it was hard tolerate to get to the substance.

Making It - Bob Clagett (I Like to Make Stuff on youtube), Jimmy Diresta (on youtube), David Picciuto (Make Anything on youtube) discuss their projects, being a maker, being on youtube, etc.

Safety Third - William Osman (on youtube), Allen Pan (on youtube), Kevin (Backyard Scientist on youtube), and guests (supposed to be Nigel of NileRed, but he never shows up). Nominally, they talk about being science youtubers, but it descends into chaos pretty rapidly.

A podcast of 3 of my friends just shooting the shit, being morons to each other.

He was later reassigned to another church. At the time, church leaders said Gutgsell learned his lesson, admitted wrongdoing and sought forgiveness.

Priests should be held to a higher standard, not lower. Confessing and seeking forgiveness is the first step. Penance is next. Things like this REALLY make me struggle with my faith. What is the point of being part of an organization who preaches virtues but then doesn't hold their own to that standard.

I hold myself to the same standards I give my children, and then more. I give them more leniency because they are children. If we are supposed to be the children of God and the priest is our leader, then it follows that the priest should be held to a higher standard! ;alsjdfn;lasf;oiasjf;olasjhdfsd;fo
