praise_idleness, in What's the best approach/pathway to learning iOS development?

Anytime anyone asks something like this, I only have one thing to say: Just do it.

JigglySackles, in What's the consensus on swearing here

Sometimes you feel like a fucking cunt. Sometimes you don’t.

conciselyverbose, in What is the goofiest Christmas present you received this year?

I got an axe throwing game (plastic axes, so reasonably safe, but surprisingly fun). I would rather the axes weigh a little more, but as is it means it can be put out with other lawn games when families come over without being nervous about kids.

Maple bacon scented candle. It smells alright…I’ve gotten bacon scented/flavored stuff in the past that was awful. Back in the day my sis in law got me bacon flavored marshmallows that made our entire apartment smell like ass. Had to throw them away.

Varyk, in How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience?

Slightly annoyed and then I’d move. I live moving and I travel light so it wouldn’t be a huge inconvenience.

But I agree that it is terrifying and awful for people who prefer to put down roots or have their lifestyle tied up in being public figures.

TechNerdWizard42, (edited ) in How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience?

No celebrity owns the house the live in or stay in. No truly rich person does.

An LLC or more likely a trust owns the house, land, everything they have. And those are owned by other LLCs and Trusts so you can’t follow the chain. If someone is doxxed, they go somewhere else. Many places are rented out (think Airbnb) all the time. If you get caught, your agent will “leak” that’s just where you were vacationing and the next paparazzi photos will be in different locations on purpose.

Then you do what many do, and buy their real homes in countries that take privacy seriously. When you want an escape, you fly to your real house. No such thing as papparazi, security issues, or anything.

TheDoctorDonna, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Wanna guess what my favourite time travel show is?

sentient_loom, in how similar are other North American countries to USA??
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

I assume that Canada and the USA are more similar to each other than either one is to Mexico. We speak mostly English and we are rich countries. Although some differences will depend on latitude.

As a Canadian I grew up on Americam culture. We are very much sibling countries. They are one big culture together. I know very little about Mexico.

kent_eh,

A little too similar in some cases.

It seems that we are importing the worst examples of American politics and capitalism into Canada.

I just hope we don’t import privatized healthcare.

kent_eh,

I hope there would be rioting in the streets if some government tried to straight up kill our public health care system.

Unfortunately, it’s currently showing the strain of being attacked by a thousand cuts.

llamapants,

I take it you’re not from Ontario? Cause Dough Ford is trying to do exactly that

roofuskit, in What's the best gaming console and why?
@roofuskit@lemmy.world avatar

The one you enjoy most. In my childhood it was NES, SNES, Gameboy. When got older it was the XBOX then the 360. I enjoyed the Wii as a yound adult for the party factor. My kid got gifted a switch from grandparents and we enjoy it as a whole family. We got the kiddo a PS5 last year because they love Spiderman. That works really well and has about every game I’d want to play. I also stream games from my PC to my TV. I’m spoiled for choice, I don’t think any one of them is significantly better than the other. Consoles do have a big price edge these days thanks to GPU price gouging.
