Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.

In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I'm allowed more wfh.

[โ€“] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 minutes ago

I think "shower before you start stinking" is a decent rule to live by

Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.

[โ€“] SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 2 points 34 minutes ago

Winter totally trumps other seasons. It's just so cozy.

Im camping on your hill.

  • Laptops should be thick and durable with good keyboards (like old Thinkpads)
  • MacOS isn't as bad as people here say, its still a Unix-based OS and that alone makes it superior to Windows
  • Arch Linux is severely overrated
  • Debian Linux is extremely underrated
  • Alpine Linux is great on low end laptops
  • Fedora Linux is the best distro for newcomers
  • Rust belongs in the Linux kernel
  • GPL > MIT/BSD
  • Tiling > stacked
  • AI sucks

Han Solo shot first. Screw any of the remakes or special editions he was a pirate and was just protecting himself from an even more dangerous pirate.

[โ€“] Zagam@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Nope. Sorry but you're just wrong. "Han shot first" implies Greedo shot second. And he most certainly did not. Han shot, Greedo died. Green fucker with finger suckers didn't even get a shot off.

Soft serve is not ice cream

[โ€“] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Most ice cream isn't ice cream anymore. It is frozen dairy product or sometimes not even dairy, sometimes it's just frozen dessert product.

I have a ninja creami now and can't go back. I know it's not perfect, but everything else just tastes like chemicals.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.

Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.

I disagree vehemently with one of these and I thought it might make a fun little mystery, but on second thought I'll just state up front it's the Monty Python one.

[โ€“] colournoun@beehaw.org 3 points 5 hours ago

Yeah I was with them up until they suggested Monty Python.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.

(In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

[โ€“] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 minutes ago

I always thought Rutherford was SEA though.

The race and gender of an actor don't matter. Ask Shakespeare

Bart Simpson has been played by a woman his entire existence

Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it's implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.

I dont care about Genshin's cultural impact, Fortnite's mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!

And since I used to say it too: "You can absolutely play without paying money" isn't an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.

[โ€“] srubhut@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Genshin's cultural impact? I guess I am out of touch, I have no idea what it is and just now had to look up gacha lol

[โ€“] nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Genshin Impact is literally spawning so many "open world anime gacha games" trend from so many companies across the world due to its success. It's one of the top grossing games on mobile games (note: huge chunk of top grossing games (PC and mobile) these days never gets release or popular in the West)

Some anime-style game franchise that always a single player for more than a decade suddenly releasing "open world anime gacha games" that dead in less than 2 years.
