I use a stationary bike in front of a TV. My brain is off anyway, so I might as well put my body to work.

Another alternative is to find a sport that you enjoy, or a social group that makes the activity enjoyable.

Cool! Good luck with it. It sounds like a fun project.

This is starting to signs pretty awesome, tbh.

It’s like Uber, but for random violence.

just call it Boxing 2.0. It’ll be fine.

When you’re saying “real world” you mean mobile devices where your actual position dictates your position in the game world, right?

I really like the idea of these. Ingress started out cool, but didn’t hold my interest. I think the actual play loop kinda sucked, but it built up a decent community around the novelty.

i know i left it here somewhere

By Grabthar’s Hammer!

Zoinks!

begun, the cyberwars have

There goes Adrian Dittman again. That guy oughta be locked up.

Yes! There wasn’t a lot of meat prepared in my house as I was growing up, so I didn’t get any experience with it. Having a meat thermometer means I don’t need to guess. It’s good.

I’ve started cooking meat a lil cooler than recommended, in theory that it’s more tender. With a meat thermometer I know it’s still good.

You’re right, but (I think) that’s a setting on the home instance for the community. Other instances can allow/show the downvotes, but the NSFW community will be blissfully unaware.

Dressed in a T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, and wire-rimmed glasses, Yu declined to talk about the false report of his death or how he may have benefited financially from it.

“You can see the PTSD in my eyes, right?” he said before telling this reporter to leave.

That epitaph should be etched onto his gravestone.

Although the obituary touted his alleged successes, the more significant self-tribute was Sunday’s release of a memecoin that one of his social media accounts promoted in what claimed to be an automated message. “If you’re reading this, it’s because my 72 hour deadman’s switch triggered so i’m not here, at least physically,” the message said. The message described the new coin, dubbed $LLJEFFY, as “my final art piece” and “an eternal grave in cyberspace.”

Who doesn’t have a deadman’s switch to capitalize on one’s own death?

On-chain analysis shared on social media by Bubblemaps, a crypto analytics platform, showed accounts linked to Yu moving up to $1.4 million in cryptocurrency after his supposed death. Several accounts accused Yu of orchestrating an elaborate “pseudocide exit strategy” to cash out his holdings.

So gifted! So capable! Such a deep understanding of the technology!

…

Before his staged death, Yu published a manifesto introducing the concept of “legacoins” — described as an “evolution of digital assets commonly referred to as memecoins” that function as “a vault or storage, securing and preserving value indefinitely.”

What an incredible coincidence!

It depends on community. Some of the shitposting communities can be great (shout out to ncd).

But politics and current events can be a minefield if your views are outside of Lemmy’s tinsy tiny Overton window.

My theory is that we’re mostly here because we have very strong beliefs. We dropped out of Reddit because of their policies or we were banned. Or we’re open source people. We defend those beliefs vociferously. Long beyond what most other people would do.

Whatever. I still mostly enjoy it here. I hope you find a place here too.

Her: is that Harry Potter you’re reading?

She approached me on the bus when I was commuting. It was a couple of decades ago when HP was new and fun. She was fun too, but we only went on a couple of dates.

I’m not surprised at all. At the time, I was trying to be as social as possible. If she’d stomped on my toe and then asked me out, I’d probably have said yes.

I thought I was smart/knowledgeable until I started working with people who really are smart/knowledgeable.

I tried to keep up and be one of them, but I do better when I just try to follow along with them and consider alternatives and implications of what they propose.

I wouldn’t say I’m the token idiot, but I have perspectives they don’t, and those are useful. Then again, that’s exactly what the token idiot would say.

Yeah, I don’t get this. If it was George Clooney or some other charismatic/likeable person, they’d still be fucking us over.

Their generation is marked by a lack of impulse control and a deep inner rage that can often be triggered by trivial inconveniences. They also seem to have a vindictiveness to them that I never really understood, holding grudges far past their expiration date.

oh shit i might be a boomer

Times definitely have changed.

Also, Google was “Do no Evil”

At the time Google seemed awesome. Gmail was a game changer - a usable webapp that was better than maybe clients.

Firefox was good, but not great.

Firefox was the best of a bad bunch. It was so easy for devs to move to Chrome because the experience on every other browser was bad.
