"Man rests from one labor by doing another." That also works for managing chronic pain, as I've discovered...

  • Photography that looks like a painting. Amazing.

  • I'm honestly impressed by the number of ways people have turned a relatively cool & fun word in to something more and more annoying with each variation.

    Of course, that's just me vibesnaping. 👺

  • Yes. And just like a standup comic, you get to refine them with every iteration.

    Every relationship partner gets to hear a more polished, expanded repertoire, so the more the merrier. :D


    Of course the flipside is when your stories have fallen out of vogue, or you're cognitively at the level of Grandpa Simpson. Nobody wants to hear that shizzle, man.

  • I was addressing OP's need.

    It's up to Lemmy.World to determine how they want to handle the acct / community.

  • Btw, what do you think about adding this one to the sidebar? It's got a similar spirit, and I plan to keep contributing to both communities:

    lemmy.world/c/outofcontextcomics

    !outofcontextcomics@lemmy.world

  • I've just added three I had in the hopper.

    I might contribute some completely original ones once in a while, but I'm not a big fan of spending time monkeying around with graphics. "Nietzsche Family Circus" is easy, because it's already set up as a tool. Same with "Build Your Own Meat," which I'll try to share in coming days.

    Otherwise I'll probably be on the lookout for stuff like the "Dennis is a Menace" tribute / satire stuff by other people. Anyway, good to see you finally started this project!

  • Every single post in that community seems to be like that.

    Seems like it might be a bot acct just following... well, whatever script that might be for.

    EDIT: You could just block the community if those posts start to annoy you.

  • Too fricken' sad for me to read for long.

  • From My Side of the Mountain, I remember Sam having to process these somehow in order to make acorn flour. They're naturally bitter and full of tannins, I think.

  • Under... standable.

  • I would tend to think that the escapist and addictive qualities of some games contribute to negative perceptions. There really are gamers that take it too far, for the worse.

    But on the whole, I believe studies show that gaming in moderation has a host of healthy benefits.

  • I still love it as an adult, but I don't have to drive through it, so there's that!

    To me, snow looks nice, feels nice, is bright and cheerful, and muffles sound wonderfully. It's fun to play with and walk through. Ice on the ground is another matter though, which is when and where I break in to my 'penguin shuffle,' so as to avoid slipping and falling on my arse.

  • Well, they specifically said "hominims," which has a tight definition that I explained above.

  • The whole world was basically creating thread and weaving full time.

    That's an underrated point, and (seems to me) severally under-emphasized in various historical fiction and such. Also could be kind of minimized / hand-waved away by many because it was (I'm guessing) seen as 'poor persons and womens' work,' with the rights of both of such groups commonly dismissed across history, going back ages...

  • transcription jobs. Video game play testing could also potentially be an option,

    I once had a housemate who made his living doing medical transcription, and for him it was unreliable work, annoying, and I'm pretty sure, dreadfully boring. But maybe it would help a lot if it was only part-time.

    No expert here, but what I've read in the past is that video game testing can also be dreadfully boring, having to exhaustively explore potential issues by repetitive testing and such. Literally everything that's fun about video games is removed when you're a tester...

  • Can't say I'm an expert, but so far this seems like the most realistic response, as cringe-worthy as some of these jobs are. Alternative jobs can be dreadfully boring by comparison, including video game testing.
