If you're prone to getting sick, you'd have a weakened immune system.

If you're prone to getting sick on week days only, you have a weekend (end of the work week) immune system

I've seen Confederate flags flying off the backs of pick up trucks on the west coast of Canada... Amazing how stupid people can be

Protip, if applicable: if someone in your friends list is already on, don't boot the game up. Join their lobby directly via Steam friends menu.

My group has had great success bypassing the servers at capacity issue.

We're no better here. Lemmy has its own brand of cringe.

I'm getting whiplash from your logic. You just accused another user of acting like you said tencent had larian on a leash, which we can all agree is not true. Then you go on to say Larian is going to lose its soul when tencent approaches them with a gacha game, as if larian would take them up on this like Tencent has any say in what Larian does.

Also, Hasbro isn't selling DnD. Tencent is attempting to buy adaptation rights to the DnD IP, which may not even be true. By all accounts, WotC is the most profitable division of Hasbro. Sounds like you read another headline and didn't read the article...

Truly a gathering of the most level headed people on Lemmy

Could not possibly agree more. Bought for $90CAD, put in like 20 hours. Didn't enjoy it but kept pressing on hoping it would improve. My morale broke after I finished the sandy place in the west, and then stopped playing.

That's the nail in the coffin for Blizzard games for me.

Agreed. Lemmy is much worse.

Just asked for a source, but whatever. Keep your stick on the ice mate

I do believe PP will absolutely fuck us harder than Trudeau. You can state your point without being sensational. I'm also from BC, and vote hard NDP, not that I need to justify that.

I'm simply saying you shouldn't fear-monger unless you have some material to back it up.

Downvoting for honest discussion is also not going to win you any arguments, but carry on. I upvote honest discussion, and encourage you and others to do so. We can talk like adults without telling others to go to another province.

After seeing all the Canadian flags flying on the back up pick up trucks during covid, I could not possibly agree more. The conservative osmosis bleeding up into Canada, especially Alberta, is quite concerning.

We're about to elect our own mini Trump? News to me. Sounds like fear mongering. Gunna need a source on that.

Level headed take gets downvotes. Classic Lemmy.

Regardless of how people feel about the above posters opinion, it's a valid opinion, and people should engage in an open minded discussion instead of knee-jerk downvoting.

As a community, we're better than that.

Also listen to that other dude in this thread that mentioned dental hygiene. That's bangin' advice.

Here's my highly specific (hypocritical) advice:

Don't take advice from Reddit or Lemmy on any important matter. You don't know these people, and they don't know you. Some people have good ideas. Most don't. The ability to think for yourself and determine what's best for you is the best skill you can have. A review from Lemmy or Reddit on a product is fine. Life advice from internet strangers is almost always garbage.

Here's some more highly specific meta advice: Change your socks every day. What the fuck people..

Isn't this stuff Trump also wants?

It'll largely be an echo chamber regardless of size. The fediverse tends to lean into tech, and is very left wing. If you don't fit the bill, you are either driven off, de-federated with, or realize the content posted here isn't what you're looking for, and you leave.

I don't mind the small knit community, as I agree with most stuff, but this simply isn't a place you can host competing ideas, or at least not feasibly. This isn't a place for open discussion. You get down voted for your opinion, even if it is a shitty one. This isn't the fediverse I want to see. I want to see people upvoted for their opinion, and enticed to engage with whatever discourse is present, regardless of views. Downvotes should be reserved for trolls, bots, and fascists. Everyone else should be welcome.

Frostpunk. That game gave me anxiety with the tough choices sometimes.

Wikipedia rabbit holes

I think landlords is kind of blanket statement. I think most rational people aren't blaming the landlords who own a single family home and rent the basement suite. I think it's more referred to companies gobbling up single family homes and rent gouging their tenants.

This is also Lemmy, so, you know, fuck cars, fuck trucks, fuck landlords, fuck Windows, fuck Google, fuck conservatives, fuck you, fuck me, etc etc
