Tesla has airways had volitility. It goes up when musk overhype it, it goes down when tesla underdelivers. I had some stock and got off that roller coaster when the truck was unveiled. I stopped believing it was above board at all.

Sick nazi reference in the numbers though.

I went to my local outburst of drones in the fall. 95% were regular-ass planes spotted by people who don't understand you have no frame of reference for a dot of light in terms of speed, distance, altitude, or size. Every blinky light was cause for concern.

I see you were given some confirmation it's a larger problem. To explain why we needed more details, "lemmy" is not a singular site. You registered on lemm.ee, while I'm on lemmy.world, which are 2 out of dozens of different "instances". Some other popular ones include lemmy.ml, Midwest.social, and kbin.social. These instances all federated together, meaning they have the ability to view and interact with each other. The "community" (like a subreddit if that's where you come from) you posted to here is hosted on my home instance, lemmy.world. You'll also see the term "defederation" used. If two instances constantly fight or, say, an instance creates a constant influx of bad actors, an instance may decide to defederate with that instance. This cuts off that interoperability between the two. There are ways to block them on your own as well, I believe.

On top of that, we're all using different clients. Some from a web browser, some on various mobile apps such as jerboa, connect, etc.

This means to diagnose your problem (and any future problem), we need info to determine if this is a you-problem, an app problem, and instance problem, or a community problem.

Good luck. Stick around. It's quiet here compared to wherever you came from, most likely, but you'll probably find a bunch of the same people over and over. It takes some adjustment.

Plot twist: they talk like this to each other, knowing they're the only smart one out of the 100 employees while the other 99 are constaly bullshitting. Each and every one of them thinks this.

You ever play Assassin's Creed?

Oh yeah, wrong vehicle. I am DROWNING in numbers with one of my vehicle types: motorcycles. Every time I ride somewhere, I get someone coming up. So many reasons. They used to have my bike model, they want a buddy to ride with, they have a meet coming up, they're doing a charity ride, they want photos, they... Wait you said girls didn't you. Shit.

Girls? They come out when the 2 door Geo Tracker comes out with the roof off.

He didn't buy it for MPGs, he bought it to complain about $/gals

iTs A liMa blah blah blah pinto, lima, it's beans inside, this is beans

Sideways on the corner of the box, "tornillo multiusos"

I did the same when a coworker showed up with an F350 crew cab 6.5ft bed. Lifted, offroad lights, cb antenna, diesel (which is the HD option in the US). He lives in the suburbs and pays laborers for everything. So I plopped my dutiful little Mazda B2300 next to it (Ranger) that regularly hauls a little bit of wood.

Idk, maybe I'm the one who phased out of cup stacking by being old. But still, we can't be that far off from when explaining cup stacking will sound like how I feel about pole sitting.

Skrillex is sort of the face of mainstreamed dubstep. I just learned his subgenre is brostep. The work that came before him was... Gritty. Close to the Key & Peele skit. The FC3 song is closer to common EDM.

Sierra Leone by Mt Eden is probably what I'd use as an example of the best of traditional dubstep

The numbers used to denote the engine and trim, to an extent. The letters are the important part. RX series, as opposed to NX or LX

Look at symbols of Christian holidays, then read where they came from. I'd say that represents misrepresented mythologies. It's all stolen symbolism to blot out the competition.

The Easter bunny giving eggs? Spring is about fucking and both of those are symbols of fertility.

4 is very similar to 3, in my opinion. It generally ranks lower than 3, but I'd attribute that to 3 defining expectations and 4 meeting expectations rather than pulling another groundbreaking move. 3 shared some notable elements with 2 but refined the direction of FC. 2 doesn't have magic and FC enjoyers begroaned 3's supernatural element, but here we are.

5 removed the supernatural element and got some mixed feelings. I'd put some of that on the fact that they brought the white American savior trope home to America. Instead of a foreign land under a whimsical authoritarian regime the West likes to go to war with, it's a religious cult in classic Americana rural towns. It's like changing from 1990s Batman movies to the Nolan trilogy. Gritty, more realistic, closer to historical fiction than fantasy. It harks back to the 1993 Waco Massacre.

I've played 6 on and off over the last few years. I read lots of hate but still enjoyed it. It's in Cuba, so it was back to being a far-off fantasy for me, with lots of story rooted in the 1960s revolution (though the game is present day). That is until the Gaza war flared up. Suddenly the game got uncomfortable for me. You play as a terrorist group fighting the military. That's not exactly different from 4. Sure, if you win, it's a revolution, but if you lose, historical speaking, the winners call it terrorism. I suppose the story could be considered weaker, but it's a change up. Instead of basing the story on you vs the big bad, it's rooted more in the friends you make along the way. You're building a revolution as one faction gathering 3 more.

There's also 3 half-games. Between the main titles, half of the prior maps for alternate experiments. I'd wait for all the titles to be discounted but would say the halfsies need to be discounted more. Granted, they're probably all regularly under $20 now anyway.

After 3 came Blood Dragon, using one of the islands for an over the top 1980s synthwave action comedy. It has corny 80s moves in lieu of superpowers. It's fun.

After 4 came Primal, a prehistoric version of the FC formula. I think it's neat that they developed a proto-proto-indo-european language for a 10,000BC setting. Spears, slings, clubs, and knives are the weapons here with some grenade-like items. There's spiritual elements resembling living a mythology. It's also fun.

After 5, New Dawn is actually a continuation of the story. A quasi-Fallout/Mad Max post-nuke-apocalypse world in which Joseph Seed still lives - and becomes an ally. I think it brought in supernatural powers from nuclear stuff. Probably my least favorite of the 3, but still enjoyable. It also introduced a number of the elements people begroaned in 6, so maybe that's why I don't mind 6 as much.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a halfsies between 6 and, presumably, an upcoming 7. 6 does have some extra story (dlc?) that has you relive parts of the prior titles. I haven't done them nor read about them much so I can experience them myself.

In the world of phone keyboards doing whatever the fuck they want with autocorrecting capitalizations, that is effective (assuming they're equally trained to accept both words and don't autocorrect Gbits to GBytes)

Lol, who down voted your comment though? Why? Best I can do is bring it back to 1 point.

Same with every average ISP customer. 1GB/s down and 1Gb/s up sounds like the same thing. ISPs expect customers to know the difference the same way Tesla pretends everyone knows airplane autopilot is just a speed and vector system

Rosemary and sage, for those of you who want to get a leg up on their future alzheimers likelihood. It doesn't mention how much carnosic acid is naturally present in the herbs and it's apparently very unstable with low uptake in natural form, so I don't think we can just start spooning the stuff while we wait for the synthetic version.

That take would be more digest able if I wasn't stuck on the same planet as those people.

Thank you for catching that. Even reading through again, I couldn't find it while skimming. With the mention of X2 and RSS, I assumed that paragraph would just be more technical description outside my knowledge. Instead, what I did hone in on was

"No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense."

Leading me to be pessimistic.

I get it. I'd bet the other commenters don't have kids. There's hypothetical jokes about kids, then there's jokes to someone about their actual kid. Commenting on a post VS replying to this person who has a kid.

I grew up with a very paranoid father. Somehow this guy has a stack of rough city survival stories but I couldn't leave the suburban block. I don't know the best way to raise a kid, but a watch and more freedom to roam sounds nice.
