Was hoping to see him actually get body slammed...

For anyone else taking the headline literally like I did, the crowd just starts chanting "fuck ICE" and the wrestlers look a bit confused, then things just continue

I remember using it fondly, saving articles on desktop to read later during commutes or downtime rather than doomscrolling. I might be misremembering but initially their app was great for reading, but then it just started loading the web page rather than text optimized? Maybe I'm misremembering or getting apps mixed up, but I remember it being great for a good chunk of time

I feel like most people know Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Full game is free I believe (it's been a while since I played).

Rouge-like dungeon crawl with tons of content, still getting updates too after so many years

I just started psyllium husk about 3 weeks ago more for satiation, cholesterol and as a prebiotic but man, I don't think I've ever had better poops, stuff is insane

Wish I remembered... Honestly, they had a pretty perfect run getting two gardevoirs and and indeedee up while I was struggling to pull anything beyond basic pokemon so they made quick work of me. By the time I had anything good they were already past 300 max hp I think

Lol, I battled a deck like yours recently (maybe it was even you, who knows) and I was completely helpless. Reuniclus is definitely OP with the right supporters set up

A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way "moon" is used there is similar to month, so it's basically "the time of the month is here" said as "datang bulan"

Hell yeah on the Cosmere books.

I'm going through yet another reread of "Way of Kings" at the moment, the first of Brandon Sanderson's "Stormlight Archive". Something recently had me thinking about Kaladin's overall arc so I'm basically speeding through focusing on his story.

Not to mention XDCC over IRC

Exactly why I signed up to dropout.tv despite a bunch of trouble signing up. For some reason, my card kept getting declined, and I spent over a month going back and forth with my bank figuring it out. In my part of the world, paying YouTube to become a member of their channel and get all the same content would have been way cheaper and WAAAAYY less hassle, but fuck if I'm gonna give YouTube money when I can give it directly to the creators.

 

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
