  • Shame?

    “I know that this decision will upset many, and delight others, but in this political climate I must keep my family safe,” Douglass said

    He's resigning because the left is so viowent and scawy, not because he's ashamed. We'll all have forgotten his name in 2 weeks and he'll have a better job somewhere else, pulling the exact same shit.

  • No more

  • Set your alarm for the exact time you need to get up and get out of bed when it goes off.

    When I was younger I forced this by putting the clock out of reach, I had to physically get out of bed to turn it off. I don't need to do it any more but it was a very good habit to get into.

  • Do those words mean anything or are they just bird noises?

  • I'll take longer shifts with 7 days off per fortnight over normal ones with only weekends off any day. I rarely change my sleep schedule, I just stay nocturnal most of the time. I pop to the shops on my break most shifts to grab a backpack load of groceries, then there's a 24h one near my apartment if I need anything that can't wait on nights off. I spend my "mornings" with my girlfriend until she goes to bed around lunchtime, then I have the rest of my time to myself. It works for me, and has been for the last 8 years 🤷‍♂️

  • Security, and I would kill for a couple of hours to myself each day. By the time I get home, I have about half an hour to get to sleep if I want a full 8h down before the next shift. I work 2-3 nights, then get 2-3 off, so it averages out to 7 shifts a fortnight which isn't so bad.

  • 3pm, for a 5pm-6am workday. The type of person who would present this question unironically would probably still consider me useless though.

  • That's Loops iirc

  • I can see rego plates in the picture, are they not linked to anyone? Ticket the owner, it's not rocket science.

  • One way

  • Well, no he didn't. Not really. I haven't heard it (and don't intend to) but according to the quotes in this article he didn't do that at all.

    “The problem is the companies, if they are being pressured by the government – so if that’s real – and if people on the right are like ‘yeah, go get ’em,’ oh my God, you’re crazy. You’re crazy for supporting this because this will be used on you,” he said.

    If, if, if. Wouldn't want to risk upsetting anyone would you?

  • Sorry, you've misunderstood, I don't disagree about any of that. I was talking about your use of car ownership as a comparison to gun ownership. It's something I see come up a lot in gun rights arguments and it's always seemed so unreasonable to me because of the difference I mentioned being so vital (perhaps because I live in a country much less... enthusiastic about guns). There's no reason for us to have that particular discussion and I have zero interest in doing so, I just took issue with your comparison, that's all.

  • I see your point about the LAMF thing, but that's such a dishonest comparison. Your post history seems reasonable enough so I'm hoping you won't just be a dick about this. The difference is cars aren't a tool specifically for killing people. You're even changing the context in your comparison, this isn't a drunk driver killing a dude, it's someone intentionally hitting a man with their car. When the US gets a global reputation for being the place kids constantly take their parents' cars to school to kill other kids it'll be a fine point, until then it's hurting your case.

    For the record, I'm not condoning or celebrating this either. I'm not going to mourn the prick, but I don't support openly murdering people and see no appeal in laughing or joking about it.

  • We knew the content of the letter in July, but didn't have the actual picture. The one you're probably remembering which looked significantly less shitty was just someone's interpretation of its description.

  • According to the final results screen it took 22.5 hours to complete the 4 main maps 100% and then do what's presented as the final challenge to hit the credits, but I definitely took my time. Not sure how much postgame content there is. If I end up restarting (I haven't had a day off since then to get into anything) I should be able to do things a lot quicker. A pretty major theme of the game is the pursuit of efficiency.

    A lot of my stress lately has been work-related, and let's just say I might have a lot of free time coming up to play Pokémon, I should know next week :/

    I don't know much about it because I try to avoid seeing anything and go into games blind, but the Internet has an infuriating need to know everything about upcoming games which makes that very difficult. I am looking forward to Z-A though, it should be fun.

  • I've just been playing Pokémon and Pikmin 4 for the last month or so because I've been so stressed that I can't handle anything more intellectually demanding.

    I beat the main story of Pikmin 4 yesterday with no deaths, I'd reload every time anyone died. The final status screen listed 2 deaths, which I'm 100% certain didn't happen. I guess they must have been from when I played the demo back in June. Now I need to get jnto postgame stuff, but it's kind of ruined for me. I'll probably start over instead :( I know it doesn't make a difference, but still.

    Pokémon is just shiny hunting in outbreaks because it's easy and mindless. I have a good 40-50 mons trained for raids and 90+ combat-ready, but standing in the field and pressing the auto-battle button is about as much ss I'm up for these days. At last count I had around 340 or so shinies, so the living dex is coming along.

  • Wow what a surprise. "I know we said we'd do it but at the time 2025 seemed so far away! Anyway we'll do it in 2030."

    What's the bet 2036 rolls around and all of the caged egg people throw a tantrum because they didn't do anything with the two decade warning just like the sheep export people.

  • Fair enough, thanks. The screenshot I took was the top of the page of the first result when I searched for Aurora Store, that's why I was asking. It just didn't seem very useful. I might try it out.

  • Not according to their site

  • What's the benefit in using the Aurora App Store? It just looks like an alternate interface, according to their site you're still using Google Play and you still need to log in with your Google account. Same with Vivaldi, isn't it just Chrome? I'm asking sincerely, these aren't attempts at gotchas or anything.

  • As far as I know (might be wrong) Kick was made for streamers who have been kicked off other platforms. It's another one of these sites with "relaxed moderation" which cater specifically to assholes who aren't welcome elsewhere.
