and more political just in general, actually

Yeah, that’s pretty much the only part of Lemmy I really don’t like. It feels drastically more political than Reddit did. I didn’t even know what the hell a tankie was before I joined Lemmy.

Who knows?

This stuff just happens sometimes.

I remember Tokyo by Imagine Dragons wasn’t available on Spotify for a few years. No clue why, but it just reappeared one day.

TIL. That’s actually really cool info!

Double up. Assert dominance. Demand to be referred to as ‘Mister Doctor’. Hmm… ‘Doctor Mister’? I think I like Mr. Dr. better.

Boners are largely age dependent. I remember in high school I got random boners all the time and anything could trigger them.

100%. I remember sometimes they’d happen in church of all places. No clue why, but like clockwork the choir would start and bam. Tip for anyone with this problem currently: flex your legs hard and repeatedly. Always worked for me.

I didn’t see much of it except for one burst where Hexbear was getting rowdy with my instance- that was… annoying.

Huh? You’re opening your browser, and going to amazon.com and it redirects you to the app?

I’m assuming you’re on mobile. Try using your browsers incognito/private browsing feature- you’ll probably have to login again but it should prevent app redirects like that.

Did he want to be fired without being cremated? I can’t imagine someone wanting to be splattered everywhere lol

Grandma’s shot challenge from hell

This is so funny I laugh every time I reread it. It implies so many things.

Yeah, it’s possible. It’s not incredibly likely, though, I’ve bought maybe six or seven games from key sites like that over the years and I’ve not been banned.

Just keep in mind that if the price is too good to be true it probably is- be really wary of any keys that are below the historical low for whatever game you’re buying.

There’s not, maybe that’s what he means by ‘in a way’?

Great games, highly recommend them. Not sure they really fit the trope, though.

ChtGT

I’ve not seen someone censor that yet and I was confused asf lol

Yes, but that would just make them a biased source. Not an entirely useless one.

He can travel as a proper national leader to all the places he wants to travel

Unless he wants to travel to a place willing to enforce the ICC’s arrest warrant. Afaik he’s only been to Mongolia and South Africa since the warrant was issued, and both were criticized pretty heavily for not enforcing it.

Realistically, he’s not going anywhere that even might arrest him.

Either way, if nobody is going to enforce an arrest warrant they’re not going to claim a bounty either.

Legitimacy.

Because A: putting a bounty on the leader of a nuclear power is drastically different from the leader of a… terrorist rebel organization(I’m not entirely sure what to call al qaeda).

And because B: it would change basically nothing. Putin already can’t travel in most places internationally because there’s an ICC warrant out on him for war crimes. The bounty isn’t going to be relevant in Russia or allied places, and it’s not going to be much of a motivator to an entire government.

I don’t personally use this feature, so I don’t honestly know if this would solve your problem, but there’s a firefox addon that might add the functionality you’re wanting.

If it doesn’t, then this issue

except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.

could possibly be solved with a chrome extension

I greatly appreciate your old man mode. Sounds like a fantastic job.

it can be used separate from a “flame”, which is a term for the very flamboyant gay men regardless of their presentation or physical appearance.

TIL. I’ve heard people being called, usually in a derogatory way, “flamers” or “flaming” but never just “flame”, nor did I understand the context.

The ones that would travel for shows carried all the news and culture with them, like fabulous bards.

So just your average bard, then?

I can explain a few terms, if you’re interested. I’m simplifying so nobody murder me:

Retroarch is basically a program that lets you emulate (basically make your computer mimic a console to play the games from it) a bunch of different videogame consoles. Mostly old ones, but some newer things like the Switch.

Shaders are complicated to ELI5 but it’s easiest to think of them as a filter you can apply to a videogame in real time, like you would apply a filter to a photo or something. You can get some absolutely crazy effects with filters- generally the simpler the game the more shaders will accomplish. Here’s a minecraft screenshot of the same thing with and without shaders.

And just in case, CRTs are those old school tube tvs.

He’s basically just asking if shaders for old games intended to make things look more like a CRT are just nostalgia bait or if they actually make things look better.
