Probably b/c if they can’t monetize your data, then they choose to profit from you in other ways. :-(

He was…thirsty

Do I really want to know what “quaff” is?

he quaffed pint after pint of good, good juice.

No, methinks I doth prefer mine earlier ignorance. :-P

“Midnight Mass” on Netflix, I’m just saying…

Joke’s on them - I got stupider all on my own, didn’t have to go nowhere or nuthin. :-P

Welcome to late-stage capitalism, where companies sell what you do not want to buy. e.g., no wired connection has ever once had this problem, but they had to sell more thingies, so now everything is bluetooth, whether it should be or not, plus it seems like nobody ever bothered to finish implementing bluetooth - e.g., this exact issue you are having, which surely could be fixed except… why bother, when you (& your neighbors) have already bought all the thingies?

Well that escalated quickly!

I would love to see where it would go forward from there, but our puny human minds surely could not handle the Eldritch strangeness that would entail… (or rather, we could only do it once, then go insane forever afterwards - sign me up!:-P)

But the anti-romance dialogues were pretty fun too… (choose one person, then the others get mad at u:-P)

Kotor also encouraged replays with all options so that you could try the variety of romance situations:-).

Sadly, that part comes later as well:-(.

The only bright side is that after the adjustment period, Earth is going to be just fine - no lie! (Humans living on it though… that’s a bit of a different story now…😞)

I love this bit:

There is apparently no suggestion that South America is fictional nor has the existence of New Zealand so far been questioned.

It’s just fuck Australia in particular, everything else is fine. :-P

As Global Warming slowly kills us all, try to enjoy it!:-) 😭

Voting is too dangerous for the likes of you, lemme just take that from you there, yeah that’ll be great…

A study on astroturfing on Reddit, written in the style of Reddit by an astroturfer - oh the delicious irony? :-P

Take my angry upvote you monster!:-P

I literally cannot recall the last time I downvoted something here…

But also people tend to be far more friendly here, or at least reasonable. Except for the outright trolls who I simply block and move on (on Reddit there were simply too many to count - basically every post and even comment I would just come to expect it almost guaranteed). I am on Kbin btw so probably a lot of the worst instances on Lemmy are already blocked for me.:-)

Why does this entice me so, to say this?:

In mudder Russia, Doritos eat you!

Ngl, it somehow captured the spirit of Doritos quite nicely IMHO.:-)

If wishes were horses, then we all would ride.

As it is, instead we will FAAFO.

Not just right now - it was probably always that way. At one point those nations needed STEM e.g. engineers to win those (cultural) wars, while now we are gearing up to use robots and AI instead.

Even so, I think the loss of antibiotics is more of a short sighted side effect. It could need a century of development to overcome, but it is more profitable to sell pain relief right now so… it’s a problem for a future generation to have to deal with, so long as I get mine now, seems to be the way of thinking.
