    What words do you wish you used more often?

  • Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word "cliff". Heh.

    The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the "like a sir" rage faces. Lol.

    That was probably... 3 years ago? I'm sure I've used it at least a few times since then, but I can't remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.

  • I like gentoo :D

  • Me too!

    I used Gentoo almost exlusively from like 2003 to maybe 2012 or 2013. I switched to Arch about then. But quite recently I made the switch back to Gentoo on my primary box and I'm happy I did.

    Only thing I still need to do to really make it long-term sustainable for my particular use is to set up a build server on my network. My "primary box" is in the room where I sleep and I need it dark and quiet when I'm sleeping. Can't have MOBO color-shifting LEDs and fan sounds overnight. And I can't compile something like Chromium in less than the 15-to-16-ish hours I'm awake in a given day. (And I'd prefer to compile it myself rather than using a binary package.) Hence the need for a build server.

  • I'm the sort of weirdo who uses all kinds of stilted vocabulary in not-terribly-formal situation. Just a few words that I use regularly that I remember getting shit for using:

    • Ostensibly
    • Indeed
    • Escarpment
    • Thrice

    I do use "chagrin" not infrequently. I can't think of a time when I've used the word "reify", but it feels like the sort of word I'd use.

  • Nerdcore is back

    Jump

  • Just a suggestion, but you might want to update the lemm.ee community's sidebar to say the community has moved and link to the new one. The "!Nerdcore@lemmy.zip" syntax should work just fine in the sidebar as well.

  • What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?

    Jump

  • The mention of "cold" makes me think you're thinking they were prepared food of some sort or at least "wet". These were shelf-stable, individually-wrapped "candies" (I think the note on the gift box even referred to them as "candies") that came in a larger, plastic bag with art and text printed on it. Like you might think of bags of, say, these. Except they were a dried meat product, not losenges or caramels or whatever. And they weren't "sweet" the way you think of candy. They tasted like you might imagine something dipped in perfume (and then dried) might taste. One more detail: I remember them being drier than any jerkey I'd ever eaten. They simply didn't have enough moisture in them to have any heat conductivity to speak of. (Asking if they were cold is like asking if room-temperature Rice Crispies dry and straight from the box are "cold".)

  • I don't remember it being fishy or cube-shaped. If I had to guess the meat, I'd guess beef or pork. And the shape was roughly spherical, but kindof... lumpy? It looked like it had been maybe torn off of a larger chunk of meat and then formed a bit.

  • What is the worst candy you've ever tasted?

    Jump

  • Very likely! What I had was formed and individually wrapped in little wrappers like you might expect Werther's caramels to come in, bu the texture does sound similar to that. Neat!

  • At my place of work, one project we worked on involved a lot of contractors from a place based in China. (The project was an absolute cluster-fuck all the way from soup to nuts, but that's a story for another day.) When the project concluded, they sent our office a thank-you gift box of various Chinese snacks.

    One of the snacks was a... dried... meat... "candy"... I guess? The taste wasn't "sweet" so much. It tasted like it had been dipped in perfume. And the texture of the meat was hard to describe. Not chewy like jerky, and it didn't have that highly-processed Slim Jim sort of texture to it. Maybe it was sortof freeze-dried or something? I also couldn't identify what animal the meat might have come from. (And I couldn't read the text on the packaging.)

    I'm not sure whether it was just an acquired taste or rather a practical joke by the folks at the Chinese company. Lol.

  • When you find a new podcast that has lots of episodes already recorded, do you start at the beginning, the latest, or what?

    Jump

  • I'm a "completionist" sort of person, so I'd start at the beginning. Not saying I recommend doing so. It's just a quirk of my psychology.

  • This is not a good thing. Dude's a nazi. Everything he aligns himself with will be tainted by him, not helped. The quicker any community with any decency explicitly disavows him, the less damage his public support of them will do.

  • Disney is no stranger to hypocracy of that sort. Look at them making their billions off of the public domain (Snow White, Cinderella, Aladin, The Little Mermaid, need I go on?) while lobbying heavily for longer copyright terms to keep works they made from being similarly adapted.
