Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective?0·2 months agoI think that’s just cynicism or perhaps pessimism.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site?0·2 months agoA friend of mine also found their long-term partner on Hinge. Dating apps are kinda dead, but if you’re looking for something other than hookups, it seems like Hinge is one of the better options.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is non-sexual masochism a thing?0·10 months agoAs a Linux user (btw) let me tell you, if anyone is masochistic it’s us. The amount of times I’ve gotten sidetracked for an hour fixing a problem that would be a non-issue on Windows is kind of depressing when assessed as a whole
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any video games in the Warhammer universe that are actually good?0·1 year agoI haven’t played it in a couple months, but I remember the quality and polish taking a serious nose dive as you got deeper into the game. Is that still the case?
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•The free world has bet its survival on just one fighter jet0·1 year agoHilarious for them to act like the Su-57 (Russia’s fifth gen option) is truly comparable to ether F-35 or China’s J-20. To my understanding, the Su-57 is highly optimized for dexterity and maneuverability in dogfighting, but that doesn’t mean shit when you’re dealing with the stealth, sensor, and range capabilities of an F-35 or J-20. It’s for this reason that some have referred to the Su-57 as a ‘4.5th gen’ fighter, as it lacks several of the stealth and sensor integration capabilities of its fifth gen peers.
Anyways, I doubt that the US is really worried about Russia’s offering here, but I’d bet they are very worried about China’s.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Hungary says it is being 'blackmailed' by Ukraine over oil flows0·1 year agoIncredible. They’re essentially asking Ukraine to help them give money to the guys they’re fighting a war against and then getting mad and pouty when Ukraine says no.
This isn’t blackmail, it’s just common fucking sense while you’re at war. I feel for the people affected by this, but the leadership in Budapest and Bratislava can go pound sand.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Has anyone played Skyrim special edition on gog?English0·1 year agoLOOT is definitely not anything new. I’m decently confident it’s been a thing for over a decade. To clarify: load order is important to make sure no incorrect files or assets are accidentally overwritten in the course of loading the mods onto the base game, as an incorrect load order can cause a lot of issues.
Regardless, it looks like there is a Linux compatible flatpak version on flathub. Here’s the GitHub page. I personally can’t say I’ve used LOOT on Linux, though, only on Windows, as my Skyrim modding days came before I made the switch, so your mileage may vary.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Putin pledges truce if Ukraine exits occupied areas and drops NATO bid, likely a nonstarter for Kyiv0·1 year agoAlso worth noting that Russia has not made any real significant territorial advances since the start of the war despite hundreds of thousands of casualties while massively burning down their inheritance of old soviet systems. It’s not just Ukraine who hasn’t been able to change that.
Conflicts like this aren’t just determined by military strength, as there is defender advantage, political will to fight, western aid, etc. to consider that could change the balance. I would agree that Russia had the edge right now, but that’s definitely something that can change.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does Sign Language have puns?0·2 years agoWe’ve all been there
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Using they/them pronouns is confusing and difficult to read because one always thinks of a plurality of people. Why not just pick new words to use?0·2 years agoWell said! My go-to example is ‘If someone calls and I’m not here, tell them they can leave a message’ because it covers both they and them in a singular usage.
Sidenote: I also hate the way that some people act like languages are static things, despite the known history of languages to shift and change over time. English is arguably a German creole; we don’t get to act all sanctimonious now.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does Sign Language have puns?0·2 years agoYes! My favorite example is the sign for pasteurized milk, which is just the sign for milk, but moved ‘past your eyes’.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Russia Destroys 3 Abrams Tanks, 3 HIMARS and 8 Bradleys in 10 Days: Moscow0·2 years agoDamn bro you’re getting mad downvoted for being fully correct. Some of the numbers in this article are relatively credible from what I understand*, but in general it’s bad practice to take Russian or Ukrainian claims at face value. Both have an incentive to lie for the purposes of morale, propaganda, and - especially in Ukraine’s case - international perception. Russia’s lies have been particularly egregious though the war, with claims that are physically impossible (see: Russia’s claim earlier in the war to have destroyed an Abrams tank months before they even arrived in Ukraine.)
*I haven’t checked open source loss data or anything, so take this with a grain of salt.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Russia Destroys 3 Abrams Tanks, 3 HIMARS and 8 Bradleys in 10 Days: Moscow0·2 years agoYeah. Losses are to be expected from materiel that is in use, and people shouldn’t be surprised when western equipment shows up in loss statistics. It wouldn’t be a problem or even that noteworthy if the US could pull its head out.
The ‘e’ is pronounced more like it’s ‘ay’; vih-VAYK.
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto Privacy@lemmy.ml•A perfectly normal warning on Instagram. KOSA is going to be perfectly fine... 🔥🔥🐶☕🔥🔥0·2 years agoYet another thing that woke moralists took from us smh
Impound4017@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Fate of 6-year-old girl in Gaza unknown after ambulance team sent to rescue her vanishes, aid group says0·2 years agoTalking about a tank like it’s a weather event lmao
Fwiw I switched off of Pop onto Debian and I’ve been loving it. I game pretty heavily on Debian and it works just fine. I do mostly play the same older games rather than buying new releases, however, so mileage may vary if you’re looking at cutting edge games, as driver updates can significantly boost performance in that case.
Make no mistake though, when I say ‘bloat’ I’m mostly nitpicking. Pop is a perfectly valid choice and a good option for gaming.
I think the rule breaks down any time before ~21 (always round up). In general, if you’re over 18, don’t date someone under 18. If you’re both under 18 idk but probably don’t exceed a two year age gap.
If you’re 19-20, get fucked I guess.
