From summers when we slept under quilts to ones we can't even sleep almost naked in spring/fall, just in 15 years. From 2 weeks of snow each month on December, February and March to a day of light snow for 3 years and one medium snow once a year, if it comes once again.

Yeah I'm definitely not optimistic about the next 15 years, let alone thinking of raising children beyond that.

Now bodies touch each other instead of just hands.

My dude, don't slander Dragon Ball like that. There is a fight in every episode. Or more like there is half a fight every episode. Okay maybe one tenth of a fight every episode, but at least it is not about exposition or flashbacks. Dudes fight and dudes get more opportunities to fight. Maybe just hold a finder above the "skip 10 seconds" button for the long shots.

I don't know any 2 months but it seems like the U.S. based game industry companies are now on a roll to see which can close more studios per ceo now.

Thanks you for your detailed review, dude. Definitely mentioning all the stuff I'd be looking for.

And unlike so many more recent films of the genre, there isn't any fictional personal drama nor romantic subplots. It's long enough as it already is, telling a grand sweeping story.

This has been slowly creeping up and tiring to see in all movies. The "archetypes" have been used so many times already that it feels like watching the same stuff over and over again, with a different coat.

Memes are literally the breasts in my language (Turkish)!

Here's a similar scene from CoD 4: Modern Warfare. Instead of actual tyrant-following, shemag-wearing, AK-touting terrorists among the ruins behind the city/district road sign getting bombed to hell by your U.S. weapons of destruction, for some to masturbate to this killing firepower, there are kids and all the innocent people being put through genocide among those raging fires.

I'm not saying the games are a bad influence, not at all. But there is a painful discrepancy between how the U.S. weapons are depicted in use vs. how they are actually used.

It took about 2 months to become operational (don't know the exact time, but close to or exactly the planned 6-8 building time), used for 2 weeks, then on maintenance for a week. Spent $320M on this already.

Jesus Christ, indeed.

A nice boulder in the quality of a badass boulder.

5.15. isn't that bad of a kernel version in my experience. Admittedly, I'm don't have any latest gen hardware at the moment, but using one generation back RX 6700XT without problems on it with Mint. Alternatively, one can install the newer 6.x kernels with a few clicks if needed, they are not actively blocked or unlisted.

Also Turks!

I had been using Reddit with my custom feed right from the very beginning. It was pretty good, I got more community recommendations from friends and people in the communities I had subscribed to, and I even started dropping some communities I no longer had much interest in, so my feed was pretty dynamic with popular and niche stuff alike.

I still miss my custom feed and having content in some niche communities, but it has been more than 6 months since my preferred 3rd party app has been deployed for Lemmy and I have been completely scrolling and commenting on Lemmy only, still. Never scrolled on Reddit since July 1, never succumbed to desktop-only alternatives like old.reddit, although it is still my default with RES settings applied if I'm to click on Reddit links for info, since the platform was going to be at its shittiest moments from then on, not just the interface.

Primary news communities are good enough to not avoid them like the plague they were in Reddit, riddled with propaganda bots. Big, general meme communities are the same, without many daily reposts in the same community. Movies/series fan communities are very much lacking, except a couple big fan communities. Tbh I prefer Star Trek communities here over any series/movies fan communities anywhere else, although I haven't watched even one episode of Star Trek so far in my life. Game communities are almost completely dead, but I have started getting my game updates from Steam "Home" screen blog feeds on the library. Big, all gaming and new gaming announcement related communities here are the same as they were in Reddit if I want digital entertainment poisoning anyway.

Overall, fewer content flood of Lemmy with also almost non-existent bot or discussion-disabled loud mouth count feels like a way healthier engagement procedure on this kind of a platform. Writing paragraphs-long comments never felt like a drop in the sea they were on Reddit, even if these comments get only a handful upvotes/downvotes here and maybe a couple replies at best.

Most niche communities from R*ddit are pretty much dead here unless you are looking forward to being a regular poster yourself. This rather requires sticking to the lemmy.world open feed rather than creating a custom feed with your communities only, if you are looking to scroll a lot instead, of course. Just stick around a bit, see how often what communities and people reach the general feed, elect to block the ones that feel flooding your feed or not to your taste. Maybe give some regularly-posted communities that are previously not in your area of interest some chance before going on a mass block. This place does have a quality and rather genuine people, but in a limited scope.

Not even closely. It has arrived, butchered all your neighbors one by one, now it is at the doors of those living in American Dream houses. You were just just chilling in your garden and paying taxes to the machine that was axing all the marginalized groups one by one, until this year when they are finally narrowing the "orthodox" line to leave the white liberal on the marginalized side. Enjoy the last vestige of comfort Biden tries to push for the U.S. citizen while straining your conscious with the suffering elsewhere, as was the accepted American liberal lifestyle for a quarter short of a century now.

As for the Europeans, don't be lazy or be apathetic and vote while you still have good candidates. Most of you have abysmal vote percentages because so far your governments kept your individualistic lifestyles untouched. Don't assume you can keep the peaking fascism tide via shifting Overton Window at bay without showing an almost identical solidarity the right wing shows at every continent on earth. The "Russian propaganda, blackmail, bribery, etc." is only the beginning. Iran had experienced the same meddling by the U.S. decades ago, the whole Middle East and North Africa have been experiencing it since early 2000 at least. Turkey started going down the same path with Menderes and American influence during the cold war in the 60's, and not even half a century later we have Erdoğan and even worse shariah-law touting coalition parties with him propping up now.

Most centrist view ever.

Being fed up with constant bullshit and not giving known actors any more benefit of the doubt on their every single upcoming potential bullshit activity is a scary thing to possess when speaking in public spaces.

Just because a clock has sentimental value, looks cool or has some other appeal, many people would be willing to criticize you for calling out that it doesn't work. They'll take any opportunity on your claim to make you look wrong, even if the broken clock shows the right time by mistake once in every 12 hours, rest of which you correctly keep calling out.

For all of our sakes, I, too, hope he doesn't.

2 days is a short time to send them home and get bored so they'd start beating their wives. Give them at least 2 weeks, they earned paid domestic abuse.

Dude...
