  • Seems too on-the-nose, really

    Trump doesn't do subtlety. Hell, I doubt he can spell subtlety.

  • lmao

  • None of them are "great". But Bautista puts in the most effort with trying various roles and actually "acting", and improving every time he tries a new role. So he gets the nod for actually taking the craft seriously, even if he's not particular great at it yet.

    Cena is likable enough and he plays his character well. But he doesn't stray into trying to seriously act, he just takes fun goofy roles for the most part and that's fine. But I haven't seen him challenge himself like Bautista does.

    And the Rock is....just "The Rock". He has no characters. In any movie it's just "The Rock climbing a skyscraper", "The Rock get's lost in a Jumanji game", "The Rock cosplays as Buford Pusser", etc... etc...

  • Same as always. Just going with the flow.

  • The Sykes-Picot agreement basically fucked over anyone who wasn't white or Jewish.

    At the end of World War 1 it carved up the middle east into areas controlled by the allied powers (France, Russia, England. Although Russia was only there as an observer mostly). Each of those sides puppeted their zones of control with varying degrees of civility, while the original groups that still had to live there day-to-day radicalized over being controlled by outsiders.

    That was exacerbated by the Balfour Declaration in 1917, in which Britain basically said "tough titty-toenails, Arabs. We've promised to give the Jews a homeland, and we'll have to take it from you."

  • Did you know that if you put all the Spice girls into a blender for five minutes on the lowest setting, you get home-made Allspice.

  • You don't need to get into Open Source as a developer unless you're comfortable doing so. But that doesn't mean you can't jump in as a user. It really is as simple as typing "Best Open Source 'fill-in-the-blank'" and finding some projects that interest you.

    Once you start using Open Source, you'll enter a community of other users who are always discussing different aspects of projects; which projects need maintainers/coders, which group is planning a fork, etc... You'll get to know the community by simply being part of the community.

    Secondly, and this is one that I don't think get's mentioned often enough, just because you're not contributing code, doesn't mean you're not contributing. Again it comes back to that community we've built around us; if you're comfortable with the FOSS software that you use, you'll invariably stumble across new users with questions or advice, whether it be on the github or on forums or here on Lemmy, or even that site that must not be named.

    Your involvement in helping others IS contributing.

  • "Aim"? What's this "Aim" you speak of?

    The only way I've ever known is to stand four feet back, whip down your pants and skivvies right down to your ankles and just firehose that sunuvabitch.

    As God intended.

  • Is there a polymarket bet on Trump raising tariffs on Australia in 3...2...1...

    • Advanced privacy app automatically blocks trackers and ads.
    • Let's you toggle your IP and your geolocation to hidden with two simple toggles..
    • App Lounge provides an exodus privacy report on apps; details the trackers and the permissions needed.
    • If you have a Murena.io email account, it automatically generates a random alias for you without having to download another app.
    • Much much much more granular MicroG settings allowing to to grant Google as much or as little as you want.

    I'm not saying that these are all things that mainline lineage can't do. But you would most certainly be installing additional apps for it.

  • Ignore /e/ OS - it’s Lineage with their crap on it.

    It's actually quite a bit more than just that. But hey...if you want to be a hater, no one is going to stop you.

  • Honestly just some no name thing I received in a prize bag at some conference I attended once upon a time.

  • I keep a bug-out bag in case of fire.

    It's not that I'm particularly afraid of fire, so much as I'm afraid of being thrown out into the night wearing nothing by my skivvies.

    So I keep a back-pack loaded with:

    • A change of clothes

    • photocopies of all my identification

    • Spare car keys

    • Spare credit/debit card

    Every person I've shared this with says "Hey..it makes sense...but it's still a little weird."

  • GDScript for the Godot game engine. I'm passable in Python and Lua for some basic things, but I've been obsessed with a game idea. I refuse to use AI for anything more than maybe prototyping, so I'm essentially learning what I need to as I go since I'm a one-man-band.

  • Oh I'm not against voting. Knock yourself out. But don't act surprised when the supreme court nullifies those votes and hands them to the GOP regardless of the outcome.

    By all means vote. But be prepared to back it up afterwards, because only a fool thinks Trump isn't going to call in every stacked corrupted favour he has to nullify it.

  • Dogs have the ability to read body language. So a gentle behaviour like kissing or cuddling would definitely be perceived differently than an abrupt gesture like poking them.

  • where they seem eager to engage with content they don’t even like or that pisses them off. It’s like joining a bicycle forum only to find out everyone mostly just spends their time there shitting on tricycles.

    Rage Farming or "scientifically", The Commodification of Trauma

    I don't get it either. But I still fall for it myself without even realizing it. It's truly bizarre that we all have that tendancy to some degree; I can't fathom why such a behaviour would have evolved to be necessary.

  • I lost my girl at 8. Didn't quite get there. :-(

  • One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this

    You would be objectively wrong on that. It's been shown that affection to animals fires off the same parts of the brain in them as it does in humans, and delivers the same chemicals.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6826447/

    Just because animals can't communicate like you or me (though I firmly believe pets have a language that you can understand if you own one long enough), it doesn't mean they don't have the same feelings of bonding and closeness. Biologically we're all very similar, so the Oxytocin that we get from being loved is identical to the oxytocin that THEY get when being loved.

  • The Americans who still refuse to realize that this was ENTIRELY THE FUCKING POINT are beyond infuriating.

    Anyone who still believes they're "voting there way out of this" are delusional.
