hotline Miami, katana zero, ultra kill.

Mannimarco, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Battlestar Galactica

snowyday,

No more mister nice Gaius

Gets me every damn time

LANCESTAAAA, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Battlestar Galactica and Band of Brothers are basically annual binges for me.

TheRedSpade, in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

When I wanted to cut back on my drinking: “Just don’t buy it.”

Look, it’s great that you’ve never been addicted to anything, but it also means that you’re in no position to be offering addiction advice.

ryathal,

Maybe not great advice for alcohol, but absolutely great advice for junk food.

I disagree, I think offering healthier alternatives is better than simply giving up junk food by itself

Kayel,

Obligatory unsolicited link to Dr Greger How not to die

DrQuint, in should we be worried about powers-moderators/users?

I do think Lemmy instances should have a publicly-visible setting for essentially stating how many communities someone can moderate maximum.

But I doubt it’ll be a problem for a while.

ukcreation, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Parks and Recreation

DFTBA_FTW,

My fiance and I needed something to put on in the background that wouldn’t distract us while we worked late during a very busy week. We picked a random episode in season 2 and ended up re-watching the whole show over the course of 3 weeks.

vikinghoarder, in What's a good router for a home VPN?

I’m using OpenWRT and liking it so far, find a suitable router and have full control of your network

I can second this. The only issue out of the box from my experience was getting speeds over 100Mbps working over WiFi, takes a bit of configuring (at least it did for my router).

d4rknusw1ld, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

Back to the future is my jam. 1 2 or 3.

TWeaK, in Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)

Women, no. Gingers, yes. Jews, no.

Being ginger is not a protected class, so there is no legal restriction on descriminating (so long as you don’t successfully argue that gingers are a race, eg Scottish, but that’s a stretch).

However morally no, you shouldn’t have a say in it. Either way, usually you’ll be dead when the decision is made. Maybe not with kidneys, although with kidneys you tend to know who you’re giving it to - I don’t think anyone just randomly donates a kidney, like you would give blood.

TechDiver,

What about a living donor who decides to give a kidney or part of the liver?

night_of_knee,

I don’t think anyone just randomly donates a kidney, like you would give blood

You would be wrong about that, in 2021 more than 450 people in the US anonymously donated a kidney to a non-familiy member (source). This is the scenario I’m asking about. One of the arguments given is that just as we allow monetary donations to specific groups of people, why not organs.

TWeaK,

I think the conditions of anonymously giving it away would preclude the ability to discriminate. You’ll likely have to sign something saying as much.

NeoLikesLemmy,

This is the scenario I’m asking about.

Nobody knew your scenario before you explained it in detail. It is simply not happening.

Organisations don’t want to be bothered with such restrictions from a donor. Their principles are: fair and anonymous. It is hard enough already this way.

night_of_knee,

Nobody knew your scenario before you explained it in detail.

I thought that “altruistic organ donor” was a well understood concept, I was wrong.

It is simply not happening.

You’re factually wrong on that aspect.

NeoLikesLemmy,

I was wrong

So, what does it tell you?

You’re factually wrong on that aspect.

Because of 450 cases in some foreign country? Don’t be ridiculous.

electrogamerman, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I haven’t for around ten days or so, the last time I went there was to post about lemmy in one of my favorite subs, in order to attract more of them to the same community here on lemmy, but the post was deleted, so im never going back now.

stagen, in In which game did you spend the most hours?
@stagen@feddit.dk avatar

4000 hours in the Sims, Sims2, Sims3 and 4. Around 8000 in WoW Retail and around 2000 in RimWorld.

Only for porn, really.

Venator, in Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion?

CCS

lorax, in What series did you rewatch most often?
@lorax@lemmy.ca avatar

Kids in the Hall Spaced Stark Trek Next Gen and Voyager Stargate SG-1 Bob’s burgers

klemptor,

Hell yeah, KITH!

DrQuint, in What's your favorite restaurant chain?

Chain?

I mean, sure the top restaurants on my list aren’t chains, but if we’re gonna restrict it, I’ll say Macdonald’s. It saved my ass at 2am once while traveling, that’s worth a lot.

bh11235,

Nothing quite like that magical moment where you’ve been walking lost and confused for an hour around a foreign city and your last 4 attempts to find a place to eat have failed, and you say “ugh all right fine” and look for the nearest MacDonald’s.

Obi,

McD is just there for you when you need it, and you know what to expect. I end up there way more than I should due to my work taking me on the roads, after a while you learn to game the menu a bit and order just enough that you’ve eaten, without indulging.

In my country the other options when on the road are gas stations which aren’t more nutritive nor cheaper, or snack-bars with deep fried stuff.

The best is if I can hit it before 11am then I can get the breakfast things which are a good portion and cheaper than the lunch options.
