Its crazy to think GDQ started in some dudes basement with like 7 people. GG everyone involved!

But look at those big ugly feet. Only guys have big ugly feet like that.

/s

I have like 3 full wardrobes full of different sizes of clothes. I got my skinny normal and fat clothes so all id have to do is change weight to get access to new(ish) clothes to wear. That being said, probably not long.

Im deliberately being vague to avoid being linked irl to this story, but to assuage a random strangers' criticism of this situation: He applied for multiple of the same programs. He took advantage of the good will of charities and social services by using their services while stealing from them. He got kicked out of many many places during that year for forging identities and stealing from other residents. He had things like food stamps but would just sell them for fractions of their worth for cash. So, Yes he was a mooch. He was not in good faith trying to use these services to better his situation. He was using them to try and get his next fix.

I get what your trying to say but maybe try rephrasing it so its not so accusatory towards a person you have no fucking clue about.

I was becoming more and more infuriated as I read through this, then I realized where this was posted. Carry on.

I tried for three years to help a family member get clean. It cost me most of my savings, my relationship with my fiancee, my house as most of my money went towards treatment and whatever was left, ended up stolen by him. Also most of my family because they all blame me for what happened. And what happened is after 3 years of futile attempts to help, I finally kicked him out and instead of hitting rock bottom and helping himself, he just gave up. He became homeless, mooched off the system for a year and then died.

There's not a lot you can do for people once they are fully in addiction. They have to want to get better for themselves. I'm sorry. I know its a shit situation and it's gut wrenching to watch and not really be able to do anything. My best advise from someone whose been there- Make it clear your available to them if they want the help, but they have to want it. Don't put yourself out there for someone who isn't ready to get clean because they will take advantage of you. If they really do try and help themselves, then just be there for them. Don't give financial support, its to tempting for an addict. Support them morally and emotionally like if they need a ride, or someone to sit in a NA meeting with them, then do that.

Remember, addiction is a disease. It changes people against their will. I don't say this to make you loose hope for your friend, but rather to help you keep in mind that the person lying, stealing and manipulating you, isn't your friend. They are an addict. I really hope your friend comes back soon.

Not sure if those pictures are real, but Sprite Lightning is a real thing. The pictures on the wiki are a little more realistic.

At least this one has lyrics. I regularly get the light switch rave stuck in my head and thats just doo doo du doo didla doo doo doo and didl um dum, didl um dums....

And now they are both stuck great.

come on fhqwhgads

What an ugly potato. I love him!

They only indulge in a little murder, as a treat.

They're gunna Sous vide in that thing.

Hard to know for sure because its been so long and over several accounts/platforms but probably Minecraft. Then Skyrim if you include all versions. Just from steam though its Path of Exile at 700 hours and Binding of Isaac at 575. Those are rookie numbers though compared to the other two.

For years, every update YouTube has had has made the platform worse. I think its valid to doubt this will improve anything. That being said, I agree with you. Lemmy as a whole needs to calm down a bit and stop being so damn negative about everything.

But what if they were blue?

Sorry your dealing with that!

I feel bad for laughing at Gandalf yelling in tongues at a building sized inflatable shark, but damn that got me. Hope the guy is doing well now.

Ah thanks, i kind of forgot Firefox translated it for me. That makes much mores sense.

Id love to see a recreation of the dog. Its hard to get a sense of scale but the head looks quite big. Also:

Along with the dog, a small number of microchips were found which can be interpreted as grave gifts.

Microchips? Is that like chips of flint napping or were the ancient alien dudes on to something?

I actually added a disclaimer in my bio on bluesky saying nothing i say is serious. I know that wont matter too much in court but it cant hurt right?
