M30s in Milwaukee, WI. I'll never say "no" to a meal at Naf Naf Grill!

  • If stereotypical nerds have profile pics of cute anime girls, have cute anime girls therefore profile pics of stereotypical nerds?

  • TIL about operation Anthropoid, the only successful WW2 government-backed operation against a high-ranking nazi

  • Haha, fair. What I mean is that I highly recommend it to anyone who could stomach such an intense topic!

  • Which of your favorite sci-fi tech seems achievable in a reasonable timeframe, say 100 years?

  • And then all of this gave birth to the terrorists known as the Naturalists™...

  • What is your favourite less well known app/software?

  • Use PeaZip (which is better than 7-ZIP because it's cross-platform) to split large files into as many smaller chunks as you'd like.

  • You have to decide for yourself whether your efforts are worth it despite no visible effect. You don't know whether your content may have affected one reader (or many more) who simply didn't say anything.

    I'll personally never stop notifying people of tracker-free URLs, for example. The way I look at it is: I don't care if they actually change or not. What I care about is that I ensure they are without excuse if they don't change, because I served as the messenger and they heard the word, even if they reject it.

    So at least I will have done my part, so no one can put it back on me and say I didn't try. Putting the ball in their court is what matters; why would you change your behavior because of what others do/don't do? That'd be one flimsy philosophy, right?

  • The movie was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend Anthropoid to everyone. It's not for the faint of heart.

  • Day 333 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

    Jump

  • Oh. Well, if the mods are this active, then that could probably be changed, too! I'm not trying to insult you or something; I just think the titles could be made much more meaningful with just a bit more focus (which also means they could potentially attract more redditors or other lurking, fence-sitting denizens of the Internet through quality stuff in both title and body).

  • Could you please rename such a long and misleading title to something more succinct and accurate?

    Day 333 of game commentary: Minecraft

    I strongly believe it would genuinely boost the quality of your submissions.

  • That's even more reason to not get upset at parents; who are you to say their kids wouldn't enjoy life or have hope of better enjoyment in the future?

  • Either way, you’re a bad person for bringing another person here.

    you're "such a person is" - not me, since I already stated that I'm childfree.

    Still, I don't understand; you're experiencing life right now and likely enjoying it enough to chat with strangers online since that's what you're doing, right? If life is as horrible as you make it out to be, wouldn't you instantly KYS without even hesitating? The fact that you don't suggests that life is worth living or at least trying to tolerate for a better future, right? Are you part of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement?

    I may be childfree but that's just because I personally can't stand being tethered to raising a kid and I know that I'd be a bad parent, but we do need a certain minimum number of people for society to not go Children of Men-apocalyptic. There are certain extraordinary people (albeit few, sure) who are able to make life decently good for their kids, and it's unfair to say they suck just because we had bad parents/circumstances. And if you're talking about the ecological hellscape that awaits us, there are just as many reports of 12-to-19-year-olds who are making staggering scientific advances, like even solar panels that can get up to 75% efficiency, etc. I just read an article of a 10-year-old who graduated from college. Brilliant minds are being honed, so I'd suggest that you take steps to curb your pessimism and not let it bleed onto others in a blanket, stereotyping way.

  • inflicting this reality upon another person

    Now, I have no childrearing plans for myself, but this phrase stuck out to me even so: you're assuming what their experience will be.

  • Those ironically are precisely the descriptions that are very often used on the child-free.

    1. Well, I simply literally didn't know about this one.
    2. Bypass Paywalls Clean is (or was; not sure now) open-source while this doesn't appear to be.

  • @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world needs to change the title to "Daily thoughts: game X, game Y, game Z." Continually saying "screenshot" each time is misleading and does legitimately sound spammy and annoying. A simple title change would be so much better.

  • Illegal = you can go to jail. You're not gonna go to jail just for using a browser add-on.

    Against policy = sure. That doesn't stop me from using NewPipe, FreeTube, AdNauseam, NoScript, etc. either, though, nor should it you.
