A lesson so many need to learn

Jump

  • Pathfinder - for people that think D&D doesn’t have enough rules!

    • What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?

    Jump

  • I am willing to forget pretty much any fault on Outlook when I compare it with the absolute dogshit product that is New Outlook.

    Click on a Toast and it opens the email… in the background, never in the foreground.

    Have anything other than Email selected (calendar, for example) and it doesn’t display the New Email notification on the tile, so if you didn’t see the toast and have anything other then Outlook open in the foreground, you don’t know you’ve got new email until you physically go back to Outlook and click on the Email button.

    Want to send a spreadsheet as an email attachment from within Excel? The option is there, but it doesn’t work any more (and the same for any other native “send via email” option in your OS out applications).

    Want to send a document as an attachment? You have to open a new email, then drag the document into the correct half of the email, because if you have it too far to the left, Outlook will upload it into OneDrive and put a link to it in the email.

    I could go on, but fuck me, it’s absolutely disgusting how much this breaks any previous workflow you may have had for doing email quickly and efficiently…

    • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • Firefly

    Stargate Atlantis

    Stargate Universe (yes, almost all the characters was unlikeable, but I’d still have liked a resolution)

    Star Trek Prodigy

    Star Trek Lower Decks

    The Lazarus Project

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Have a motion activated speaker in your pocket so that when you do get fired, it screams “wait, I’m aliiiiiive… aaaaargh!”

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Enhance your calm, John Spartan.

    • In your opinion, when does something become unforgivable?

    Jump

  • People do occasionally forgive murderers.

    Not the victims, admittedly, but their families sometimes.

    • What would you do if you had a time machine ?

    Jump

  • Find Nigel Farage in the field after he survived his 2014 plane crash and… change that.

    Possibly saving the country from Brexit even getting to referendum status, and if it did, possibly changing the result. And then maybe preventing the revolving door Tory governments that fucked up the initial Covid response, since most of what they’ve done over the last decade has been to try and swing voters away from UKIP/Reform rather then actually do things that are good fit the country as a whole.

    • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

    Jump

  • Prediction: the next amendment they try is getting rid of the term limits amendment…

    • The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US? | George Monbiot

    Jump

  • If they’re full of US military personnel, does it matter who legally owns the land? 😉

    • The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US? | George Monbiot

    Jump

  • But also to not have multiple US military bases already on British soil.

    I’m not a military person, but I feel that could be seen as tactically unwise…

    • how come james bond movies are so popular?

    Jump

  • Something completely realistic, right?

    Buddy, the world is a dumpster fire right now and it’s only getting worse.

    I don’t watch films for realism. I want the billionaires to get fed into their drug crushing machine*, or sucked out of the window of their private jet, or get minced by their giant drill or blown up in their yachts.

    I want the good guys to win for a change.

    *yes, I know this was a henchman. Don’t @ me

    • Biden says federal government to cover 100% of costs for initial LA fire recovery

    Jump

  • I don’t know about the US, but in the UK, rebuilding would be covered by the homeowner’s buildings insurance.

    Although insurance companies would probably try to claim it as an Act Of God to get out of it. Don’t know how that would go legally…

    • What's something you can't buy ready made, but have to make at home?

    Jump

  • No, just a shitty kettle.

    • What futuristic work of fiction is humanity closest to becoming?

    Jump

  • Funny, I’d have said we’re closer to the new Star Wars cinematic trilogy than the EU.

    You think you’ve won, then a few years later, oh look, fascism is back and it’s killing people in job lots again.

    • american culture

    Jump

  • Shakespeare invented literature, so clearly there’s no value in teaching anything from before him…

    • Fair.

    Jump

  • Bloody shoppers!

    • President Biden Signs Defense Bill Blocking Health Care For Trans Military Children, First Anti-LGBTQ+ Federal Law Enacted Since ‘Defense of Marriage Act’

    Jump

  • But at least he’d have tried… history remembers that too.

    • Is America a well oiled machine or is it a series of mouse traps and no one really understands why it's still around?

    Jump

  • The greed of a relatively small number of people and misery for an almost unimaginably large number of others.

    • Everytime the same question

    Jump

  • I could try and get into a semantic argument about the difference between “more complicated” and “more complex”, but I won’t 😉

    Full disclosure: I play Pathfinder. I haven’t touched D&D in years…

    • Everytime the same question

    Jump

  • Pathfinder. For people that play D&D and think “I wish this had more complicated rules…”

    But yes, that’s how crits work in Pathfinder - if you beat the target number by 10, that’s a crit success. Conversely, if you miss the target number by 10, that’s a crit fail.
