That tornado sure sounds fun...

I'm on my first real playthrough of BOTW and I love it. My wife pretty much exclusively was playing ACNH, and she hasn't touched it since starting BOTW.

Everyone being so hyped about TOTK is really making me want to play BOTW as much as possible, but there is still an itch that can only be scratched by Rocket League, even though the smurfing has gotten worse and worse, and I'm routinely dunked on by 10 years olds.

Hey now, American kids love oil and it's good for them. They should rewrite the bill to remove all content that isn't about oil. Not avocado oil or malarkey like that though. That stuff is bad news, unlike petroleum oil. They may call it crude but we gotta make sure the kids know crude means good. The more crude the healthier the babies, that's what I always say.

Wow. My sister is Chinese and this is not ok. She eats ice cream just like everyone else that's not handicapped by intolerance, and her bones are like steel beams. Purple? That's crossing a line.

I pay for the box. I eat the box.

I mean, why do we take pictures of our offspring? They're keepsakes to remember how they've grown. When I play them the montage on their death beds they can finally say, "you sure have grown into a giant asshole."

I am a guitar player first and foremost, but their drums always sounded damn good, and their hardware was always super solid. Not my area of expertise, but Yamaha seemed to never made a cheap kit because their base model kit had such good hardware and quality it was punching up to way more expensive Pearl and Ludwig kits.

The only problems I've seen is that they don't have good resale value because they are China made, and most musicians don't want to be that guy playing anything made in China.

Also good choice on the FG. I've played a lot of acoustics and honestly yamaha acoustics are astounding. If I were to pick my top 5 acoustic brands, Yamaha would be solidly at #2. My next acoustic is going to be a Yamaha trans-acoustic. It's either that for $800, or buy my dream acoustic which costs $5000.

I have experienced it, and in my experience it was in no way possible for it to be confirmation bias. My wife and I sometimes do something weird where we just talk for hours. Crazy I know, but we bounce ideas off each other to an extent that we get into conversations about stuff we have never talked about nor ever searched for. Not even anything remotely close to related to things we search for.

We used to have and use a lot of Google home minis. Within hours we would see ads for the exact thing we were talking about. We would see ads for thing related to conversations we had within hours. We started getting hyper vigilant about it. We started randomly talking clearly and loudly about nonsense subjects and products that we have no sense to talk about and waiting to see how long it would take to see a suggested ad pushed to us by Google. It usually took less than 24 hours no matter what it was. This went on for months.

It became a running joke to us and I would walk into the room and say something like "I would love to buy a farberware brand vegetable peeler. There is nothing more that I would like than to purchase farberware brand appliances and homewares". My wife would laugh, and usually before the end of the night I would have large targeted ads on my phone for farberware appliances.

Honestly since we stopped using the Google home minis (since they barely work with anything due to googles bullshit software support) it happens far far less.

I am loving that it doesn't feel like reddit, and it's really weird to me that anyone does while they are also screaming about how terrible reddit was in every way. It seems like a lot of people are forgetting that the reason reddit sucks is because most of the communities are too big and have been around too long.

Large groups of people with a shared interest are not welcoming, they are condescending. They are jaded and have "seen it all" and have no qualms telling others that they are anything from inexperienced to inept. Any opinion outside of the norm is attacked with vitriol. New members questions might only get a response to "set them straight". They reinforce echo chambers just to feel superior, while claiming that they aren't echo chambers because they are constantly arguing with other people. The whole concept of a normal conversation is lost on them because they can't separate their ego from their demeanor. They take circle jerking so seriously that they can't even circle jerk anymore and have to uj/ every comment. They can't use sarcasm because there are so many hateful people that would agree with them.

I'm not trying to say "back in my day frankfurters were a nickel" but even ten years ago, the infighting, briggading, downvote wars, smugness, and soul filled anger and negativity on reddit was so much lessened that it doesn't even feel like the same website. It feels like I'm reading YouTube comments. What used to be a place where people might disagree with you, but at most they would just make fun of your bad grammar, or misspelling, is now just a website full of hate mongerers trying to divide people into groups.

Here on Lemmy feels to me like the old days of reddit. I can feel free to comment on whatever post I feel like and don't have to worry about someone coming at me full bore, just to try to make me feel bad that I like to eat American cheese on my breakfast sandwich, or like the feeling of wet socks on carpet.

Sorry for the rant.

I don't think I've heard anyone say that before. Almost everything they make is industry standard setting when it comes to price. It's either so cheap you can't believe it, or it's priced right where it should be.

More like Danny Brown and Fresh off The Boat

To send to my grandfathers.

It starts out as $1.99 but everyone forgets that as life goes on they take more pictures and videos and have to keep upgrading cloud sevices to keep their memories intact.

He's going to go the apple/samsung route. Planned obselesence.

But if it's unpopular then I might get support.

But I don't have pants on to put

I wanted to do one of those old school photo montages where I took a picture everyday. It becomes a real chore trying to find time to expose your dump truck. Call it sunken cost fallacy, but my butthole has done a lot for me over the years.

WALL-E is Idiocracy you can watch with your kids, and it's great.

He farts when you expect him to shit, and he shits when you expect him to fart. That's the fart of the deal.

I know that it might not be popular for the sorts of people who are into this kind of thing, but murderers and rapists are not my favorite people.
