I figured, I felt like a question mark would be more insulting than not replying at all lol

Ohhh I was so focused on the song part of it, I didn't even notice the fence!

Ugh, greedy Valve making you spend $0 to buy the base game

[Edit] ok I read the article after making that joke and I see that it applies to several other valve games, not all of which are free to play

Could be!! I saw it on another comment the other day and assumed it was the commenter's issue. Wish I would have saved it so I could see what instance they're on

 

Example comment

It renders correct in a browser but all the line breaks are replaced with a weird symbol in the app.

Not a big deal or anything but I wanted to share!

She's a YouTuber. She streams on YouTube.com which is a different website than Twitch.tv

The waves are doing work, too. I thought it was a high contrast black and white photo at first

Absolutely. Fuck EA.

The only "streamer" I've watched is Emily Hopkins playing harp.

I'd suggest that you check it out but the community is really nice and I don't think you'd fit in

100% joking. He's Hollywood's answer to every role lately.

I like Chris Pratt. He's a funny guy. But I'm so tired of him, he's horribly miscast all the time

I think that's the point? The base game is going to have a ton of shit that EA charges $10-20 for

 

~~None of them do anything~~

Now they do! If you're getting the same issues, update to the newest beta

 

I have a "flexible" WFH schedule which means I'm almost always working from home. Today, I've been lured in with an NDA breakfast with a manufacturer.

So you know what that means: 1 hour of "yum I love breakfast sandwiches" followed by 6 hours of "why did I think that would be worth the drive?"

 

My friends and I were active Twitter users up until it got sold and the only reason my account isn't deleted already is because I have a LOT of memories there.

I looked into downloading the tweets.js archive but that seems to be only what I wrote, not the original tweet if it's a reply. Having the full conversations that led to in-jokes is what I'm after!

I understand why this would be very complicated and to add to that, half of our profiles are set to private so The Way Back Machine and other public services won't work. Media would be nice but it's not a requirement.

Does something like this exist?

 

The bolts for the handle prevent going from top to bottom in one motion across the whole door so I had to adapt. Over time, I've become pretty good at removing all the water to prevent streaks when it dries even on the sleepiest of mornings.

 

Today I was reading about a band I hadn't heard of (Republic of Loose) and thought the singer looked like someone I had seen in a music video for another band.

In this video, the actor in question is laying on his back with the ocean under him (as if filmed off the edge of a ship). I believe it was made recently.

This is Mick (Mik?) Pyro:

He doesn't totally look like the guy I'm trying to find but close enough to make me remember the video.

It is NOT Matt Berry. The actor I'm thinking of has short hair.

This is really stupid but when I first saw the video, I thought it was the guy from that old Hugh Mungus video:

What is the name of this actor?? It's driving me crazy!

 
 

I didn't mind it last time we had this one because I was still doing baby dunfeons but boy do I hate it now. Ran a couple keys last night and the affix fucked us at least once per run. Besides the obvious bugs like orbs getting stuck in unreachable locations (on the ship in dawnbreaker, between the walkways in grim batol), we also had orbs spawn during Speaker Dorlita's Blazing Crescendo in Stonevault both times we ran it.

I thought last week's was the worst because the add spawned at the end of so many fights but I think I hate this one more.

 
 

I don't know why stuff like this keeps me up at night but let's pretend you just won some obscene amount and there's a lot of people you'd like to set up for life. Let's say after taxes you have $300m in your account

You can give someone up to 18k a year without incurring a gift tax and while that'd definitely be a nice bump to their income, you still have way more money than you know what to do with. So what's the smartest way to hook them up?

A couple of options I've considered are:

  1. Give them a lump sum of $X million. They eat the taxes the first year and handle the savings themselves.

  2. Create a company and hire them to "work" one hour a month for a big salary. If you put $25m in an account, the interest covers the salary. They get a steady bonus income with the added bonus of getting the best insurance available. Is that legal?

  3. Set up a "shared" checking account they can use to pay for...whatever. But would these expenses count towards the gift tax? I do not know.

  4. Buy houses and let them live there rent-free. I don't really like this one because I don't want to be a lord to my friends and family.

For the record, I did not win the lottery. I don't even play it. I'm just working out the details in a fantasy world for some reason

 

The MediaBiasFactChecker bot leaves comments that I like to see so I don't want to block it....but it's designed for how the browser version of Lemmy handles spoilers. It says "(click to view the whole report)" which expands the multiline comment.

On Connect, the entire spoiler section shows up (but blacked out, of course).

Honestly I prefer the way Connect handles it now but I don't expect the bot maker to change their formatting to cater to just one app so an option for it would be awesome

 

There used to be rounded rectangles around each post, now there's nothing separating it from the following post. I tried changing the colors and it's still gone.

Full Width had a bar between them so I'll use that for now...but I kind of miss the Card view showing cards
