It's natural that we gravitate towards familiarity.

Case in point, how some actors always seem to play the same character, no matter which movie they're in.

Kid: Devours the mother

Definitely looks more like a Pippin to me...

Call my name and save me from the dark

True story. Am a controls engineer. I program stuff like the production processes for pharmaceuticals, F&B, etc.

I come from a time where most games were single player you couldn't pay to win. Not all games had cheat codes.

What we did have were memory/hex editors, game files, .ini stuff.

With what little instructions you could find online, you had to dig around and figure out where to find stuff and how to edit them so you got unlimited gold or super powerful equipment, etc and not crash the game at the same time.

Little did I know, this built my foundations for controls programming and troubleshooting. There are so many parallels like using memory editors is so similar to our debugging software where we want to find individual parameters that aren't behaving or communicating properly.

You mean you don't have someone at home who will saute your onions for you in advance? Plebian...

Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.

The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you're trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.

I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

So many commenters are missing crucial context to this infographic.

This was released during peak covid and I mean PEAK as in June 2020, global lockdowns, high mortality rates, shortages of essentials. In case anyone has a short memory, the world as we knew it practically ground to a halt.

Not to take away anything from artists but essential in this context meant essential to the basic human needs. Health, Nutrition, Sanitation.

Built a thousand bridges, no one called me the bridge building guy,

Paved a thousand roads, no one called me the road paving guy.

But I f***** one goat...

Facebook too. Don't forget Cambridge Analytica

I don't blame the kid. I blame overly zealous professors who put unrealistic requirements on Turn-it-in scores.

There's only so many ways an idea can be succinctly expressed. Any other phrasing just becomes obtuse but sometimes students have no choice because some professor when overboard with plagiarism detection.

Certain Sodas and fruit flavored drinks

Great. That was usefully specific.

This is the kind of nerdy comment I've come to love about this sub.
