The convo has gone way off topic and is better discussed somewhere else.

Yes transphobia is a thing and needs to be discussed, just not here. drag, you got your point in/across and was rebutted. let it end here, make a thread somewhere and continue if your really want but its gone way past PC gaming and onto other issues.

im fairly easy on the moderation here as I feel its better for the community (mostly) and very little reports come in so I let everyone do their thing. im not going to remove comments or ban you, but please let it die here.

as a ~40 year old Canadian looking from the outside at the US election

this one was crazy for sure but the last couple have been kinda out there to say the least. before the internet we Canadians always knew when it coming, but it was never covered in a 24h news cycle like now. other than daily newspaper (that was a physical unit of paper that was like social media, where we could not really choose who to follow other than politically left or right and only updated every 24h) we'd get news at 6-7pm and 11pm. then the noon news showed up. while there have always been issues between right and left, there had never been violence on the scale we see now. like Reagan getting shot, happened just after i was born, so not like it was all sunshine and rainbows but nothing like the scale that's seen now.

this could be from the mass news reporting and social media, or people have just gone off the rails. I'm guessing option 2.

i grew up like this, but in the 80s so no screens like we know them now, just an old CRT. however my free time was scheduled and TV was not an option even tho it was free time. the only real difference is my father would beat the snot out of me if i did something wrong, bad grades, whatever.

the only positive thing i got out of all of that is i hate being late for something. id rather be 45 minutes early than 5 minutes late. I also have not spoken to my father in over 20 years now, so i guess thats also a positive.

If these asshats were vacuuming stuff up instead of just blowing over to the next yard, I’d be a little less annoyed.

when i was not so poor and still owned a lawn care business, i actually had a lawn and leaf vacuum attached to trailers. they work great, blow the leaves into a pile, and suck them up. had smaller versions that were the width of a lawn mower-ish for where it was not feasible to blow. the smaller ones didnt work that well with leaves but great in the spring after spring clean up.

Eren and Erin are scum, dirty names that should be scrubbed from the history books, not the people, just the name.

Right along with Arron and Aron, they are also fake names and should be deleted.

Full disclosure, my name might be Aaron

Yeah, so my life is still a pile of crap, nothing is really working out, however I miss Lemmy. I'll do my best to keep up on reports and such.

This really did not need a post, but I figured I should probably let folks know.

What did I miss? Anything good?

So yeah, my life is a pile of, well you can guess. Its not that the job is hard, nor is it overwhelming for me, however my life is crap and my mental state is very dark, so I do not believe I can mod this community the way it should be run. Again, there is not a lot of work to do, and the admin team seems to be on top of it much more then I am, so I think we should bring one other person into the team, then I can leave without feeling like I'm abandoning the community. So my idea is to take some names of folks who are willing to mod, and then I put it to a vote, the top one or two get the job

I'm in my 40s and just got my first sport bike, been riding dirt bikes before I was 10 and street bikes by 14. I've always liked cruisers and choppers, never had a crotch rocket style.

After a month of having a cbr600f2, I'm convince there is a correlation with how kids slept as as babies and what bikes they like to ride (if at all)

Babies who slept on their backs better, like cruisers, babies who preferred to sleep on their bellies, like sport bikes!

Yeah, i cannot believe im actually saying this where it can be archived and thrown in my face at a later time, but damn. Thank you bethesda for FINALLY baking ultrawide into the game, now I dont need janky mods to make things work and look proper anymore! Dont get me wrong, the folks who made the mods I was using did a 1000x better job than I could have ever done, but im glad bethesda actually did it, seems to work great so far.

Wonder if I can get my orginal save back up and running again.

Finally done the move, still setting up but at least I'm back online!

Looks like shit kinda hit the fan a few times while I was gone, did y'all really miss me that much?

I wont be online as often for a week or two still, but soon enough!

As most of you might remember, I had asked a little while ago how to go about picking a new mod (or two) to help out.

First off, there is little to no work actually involved other than checking in, last report was 9 days ago, and when things like the bots who were mass posting happen, the admin are on top of that real fast and it was done and over with by the time I logged in again. I'm not asking because the workload is requiring it, no, its more that I was wanting at least one more person. This way a community this size (i have no idea if ours is considered large or active tbh) can have more than one active mod. Much less chance of perceived bias here, now there has been no mention of it to me but I don't want it to get that far even.

I'm looking for one or two more folks to help out around here. This job is paid with bits and bytes sent to your pc or phone while your on this site, so do with them bytes and bits as you see fit, in accordance with all laws mind you. I'm more than willing to send you a digital cookie 🍪 once a month if that helps out.

I'm not looking to pass the torch and split, like our last overlord, however if something would happen to me or my internet for a long spell, only the admin could pass off the mod to someone else.

Anyone up for the job?

Not like there is a lot of work, or reports. You are all a good bunch, plus the admin team seems to get to most of the reports before I do, making me more or less useless!

So I'm thinking of bringing on someone else, this way I cant be bias, well less chance anyways, and the guy who got me to mod seems to have gone away, never to be found again. Hope hes safe!

But yeah, I think one person being a mod with a community this large is not right. How do you all want me to pick the next ~~superhero~~ mod here? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe seems like a great idea to me, but I'm a stoner.

Thoughts?

as a person who has birds, i can 100% confirm this as true

Come across a few different aspect ratios, however 5760x1080 seems to be for rare idiots like me with 3-27" curved. My current setup is not ideal, but modding my desk today so im not so close.

Overkill? Oh yeah, but I do enjoy it!

Been playing fallout since, well the start, currently playing fo4 and 76.

Looking forward to the tv show, but I have low expectations, its kinda hard to adapt the game to tv, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Finally got both fo4 and 76 to run in stupid-wide (5760x1080) however some of 76's menus are a bit wonky.

Anyways, wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to posting here

I'm just sitting here thinking about all the hoopla around palworld right now and I was wondering what other titles out there have been in the controversy filled category in the past few years/decade? I can think of a few, but my game interests are kinda narrow.

What are some of your picks?

[-] UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca 33 points 10 months ago

here in canada where it freezes 17 months out of the year, 99.9% of the houses have shutoff valve inside the house that supplies the outside tap. id recommend turning on the outside tap, then turn off the valve inside.

Well, since the last idea I had for the community crashed, burned and the ashes blew away in the wind. So for shits and giggles I'm giving 24hrs to post basically whatever.

No NSFW, or other stuff that breaks the basic rules of lemmy, just dont be me...dont be a dick.

I'm posting this pic cause im wondering if the speakers are overkill? whats not shown is the 4speaker centre channel, or the exact matching rear speakers that are the same as the fronts. Fine. You twisted my rubber arm, I'll clean and take a current pic and post it in a bit.

Lets see your setups...the 'battlestation' community here on lemmy is just a reddit repost bot and wont let original content.

honestly, sounds like you are looking for a comment section on a news network to me. maybe im missing something.

personally, i only downvote loaded questions where the OP really has no interest in the answer. example of a stupid question posted here “Why is science better than the alternative? (And what is that alternative, exactly?)”
