Tldr I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion.

Cake day?

I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I’m okay not knowing.

As for “karma”, do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don’t give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don’t live for other people’s amusement.

As for other people, I can’t speak for them, but I haven’t seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.

Run far, run fast.

My own biases might be showing, but to me, from what you have said here, she has basically just used you for years, doesn’t support you, doesn’t want you, and now that you’ve helped fix her, she’s ready to fuck some other dude?

I genuinely don’t know what I would do in your situation, I have an idea and it isn’t from a good headspace.

So run far, run fast.

Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out

AvE started praising the trucker convoys

Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.

“but that isn’t how you play the game!”

“when none of the pieces play by the rules, the game no longer matters. Wake up to the reality your fathers and grandfathers left you. Fight back. Be free”

“… You’re disqualified from the tournament. Please leave the arena.”

Here in the Midwest, I got a lovely view of…

Clouds.

If in-game ads become the norm, I guess I could either not play games anymore, or I could take my ship out onto the ocean.

There are more “lol fuck you” choices than there are “pretty please let me be bombarded with bullshit” options here.

It was billed as a futuristic, glass-walled city, but was only ever realised in the digital sphere – where it should remain

I don’t care if you used automation to ease a menial task. That’s basically half the reason TO automate things.

I DO care if you can’t even be arsed to read what the automation spit out to fact check.

I’m watching Stargate with my wife, and although she saw bits and pieces of the show growing up, she never actually watched it. So she has no idea what the plot of anything is.

We just got to that episode in season 6.

She was so pissed I didn’t warn her. I haven’t told her he comes back yet. As far as she knows, the rest of the show is with Jonas.

Literally, any time they put Daniel in danger after that, I had absolutely no worries anything would happen to him, because even if it did he would just come back anyway. Sure Oma helped him the first and second time but I think Daniel has the ascension thing figured out now and he’s prepared to ascend when he finally dies for real.

Honestly if I were ascended, I’d just go find my own corner of the universe and play around a bit. Fuck the ancients and their bullshit rules they won’t even follow when they’re inconvenient. They can’t force me to stay in the milky way.

I wonder if they would notice if someone jogged over to Destiny to fix the whole thing up and turn total control over to the residents…

Depending on where you go, it’s either “this country is a fascist regime as reported by these hundreds of outlets worldwide and here’s the shady shit they’re doing”

Or

“This tragically misunderstood DEMOCRACY (they call their leader PRESIDENT not DICTATOR emoji spam) is leading the world in literally every metric, have made 10,000 breakthroughs in every science but THE WEST won’t let them share, here’s 3 state sponsored media outlets confirming what I just said gif spam”

Not a whole lot in between.

Lpt: DO NOT ASK A PERSON IF THEY HAVE FOUND A JOB YET

If they have and you’re important enough to them, you’ll know when they tell you. If they haven’t told you, either it’s none of your GODDAMN BUSINESS or they’re still looking.

You asking just reminds them they don’t have a job. And if they’ve been looking for awhile, it’s even worse. Especially if you actually said “yet” or added in some other “it’s been awhile” modifier.

is/does thing

“have you tried not being/doing that thing?”

The only acceptable response should be a backhand with a platemail gauntlet.

Have you tried not being depressed? Have you tried just going to bed early? Have you tried smack YES KEVIN I’VE FUCKING TRIED IT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCTOR FOR FUCK SAKE

You’re only stupid when you stop being curious.

“oh my good they were roommates”

When my now wife spoke of her “two unmarried aunts who live together in the same bedroom”, I wasn’t expecting that they were sisters who just kept living together in the same bedroom with different beds on either side of the room, even splitting it sitcom style with a clearly defined line down the center, for 60 years.

And when I explained to her that my friends “aunts” are not actually sisters, they are in fact lesbians who have been together since long before marriage was legal and now just don’t see the point in a piece of paper when they’ve spent the last 35 years together, she had her own moment of realization.

I explained about Sappho and her friend, how that was basically what you had to be among older generations that had to hide it, just roommates. Then promptly showed her that video.

Most programs won’t render slices thin enough for the “Shower” portion of that…
