I guess I’m feeling greenhouse because I’m full of hot air, I can’t spell worth a crap, and I’ve got plans.

GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto memes@lemmy.world•I could do with less of these "once in a lifetime events", please.English3·3 days agoLooking at the pixels and layers upon layers of compression artifacts in this photo, it wouldn’t surprise me if the original was created at least 5 - 10 years ago, meaning it would have accurately included all millennials at the time it was made.
This reminds me of the time when I was a kid and me and several of my family members went racing out into the front yard to watch the plane that was doing all kinds of aerial acrobatics over our neighbors’s field dropping whatever chemical or fertilizer was in their tanks that day so we were all basically coated in it by the time they were done and we went back inside. Except I wasn’t a kid when it happened, I was a fully informed adult who should have known better and then a few days later we found out it was some kind of potentially dangerous fungicide. But on the plus side I now have 3 penises.
Some people have all the luck. I have to pay for this type of interview, and this dude is presumably getting it for free.
Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).
Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.
I should’ve read the comments before I commented with my comment which was basically what you said but less eloquently.
Oh yeah I hate trying to spell this word, too!
Accomamodate is my kryptonite.

GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What actors/actresses make you immediately not want to make a movie/show?English4·5 days agoI’ve seen Pig mentioned before as one of the good ones, so maybe I’ll give it a go one night when I have nothing else to lose. My favorite of his recentish movies is Renfield. Probably because I went in with low, low, low expectations and limited research, but it was much better than I was expecting.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What actors/actresses make you immediately not want to make a movie/show?English3·5 days agoGood grief, another one I was going to mention that’s already covered.
His movies are mostly bad, I think you and I might agree on that.
But the other aspect of it is that a lot of the people I knew who liked his early movies were just really shitty humans. So by association, I think that affected how I saw his movies. Just seemed like a magnet for terrible people and it was hard to separate those two things for me. Not to mention, the movies themselves were objectively somewhere between awful and just not that great, so I didn’t feel like I was missing out much.
Oh, and I got “dragged” to that movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry IN THE THEATER. And that reasserted everything I already knew to be true about Adam Sandler movies.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What actors/actresses make you immediately not want to make a movie/show?English3·5 days agoYou beat me to it. I like(d) him in his early career, then it got to the point where pretty much everything I saw that had him in it sucked, so if he was in a movie, it was a sign to me to skip it. I have had a bit of a change of heart in some of his latest stuff, I’ll at least consider watching it if there’s a modicum of evidence that there are redeeming qualities to the movie overall.
The other aspect of it is that I used to think he was good looking when he was young, and then sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s he just seemed to turn physically repulsive to me. Part of it is his hair. I think if he ever got a good hair cut or played a part that involved wearing a decent hair piece, it might not be so bad.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.English13·8 days agoFaustinus: Corn for dinner last night, Octavius?
Octavious: No, what’s corn?
Debbie Downer: These monitor lizards are sizing each other up and are in the midst of their intraspecific threat display. Since neither lizard is particularly larger than the other, a potentially deadly altercation between these individuals could result in life long injuries or even death for the one that loses.
I’m drawing a blank and I definitely don’t recall anything along the lines of what you’re talking about.
I used to know a guy who was going bald and could not accept it. He was using two different drugs, Propecia and Rogaine, but decided to buy some of those “hair loss supplements” he saw on Facebook because they had a money back guarantee. He stopped taking the drugs while on the supplements, and within a few months his hair started falling out even worse than before. And no surprise to anybody but him, he wasn’t able to get his money back. Those supplements cost several hundred dollars (USD).
And since some of the other comments are going for systemic things (i.e. government, religion, etc), I’ll add higher education in the USA. It’s FAR too expensive and pushed way too much, even for kids that have no business going to college. Young people can quickly and easily end up in six figure (or near to it) debt that takes decades to pay off, with little or no benefit.
Got dayum and on an Sunday. You are brutal.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest hill you would die on?English3·12 days agoMy new corollary: If your online e-commerce site asks customers to add a tip, even if $0 / no tip is an option, I’m not buying shit from you.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest hill you would die on?English8·12 days agoAnd the icing on the cake? If we had 13 months, essentially every month could have the same number of days, 28.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtfto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest hill you would die on?English13·12 days agoThe main problem I have with USB-C is that the “U” is a lie. Always has been to some extent, but seems like it’s particularly true with USB-C. This is closer to that meme that’s like “There are 12 competing standards. We created a new universal standard to replace them all.” Except instead of there now being 13 competing standards, USB-C is a fractured mess so instead it’s like there’s now 20 competing standards. This cord supports passthrough power, this one doesn’t, but even the one that does only supports 20W so you have to have a special one to deliver 65, and that USB-C power brick only gives 15W, so you have to buy a special one that does 80W, and this USB-C port on my phone doesn’t support the USB-C to Aux jack adapter I bought, so now I have to buy a different adapter. It goes on and on and on and frankly I’m old and tired.
Caring is sharing and sharing is the root of all love so let’s gather round and give each other hugs and tell each other how nice our hair smells except for the ones of us who are bald your bald skin smells like sun block and sweat.
