mangosloth, in Why do people hate on mobile games, call them "not real games" and mock them, when some mobile-exclusive games are the best games I've played?

Problem for me is phones are uncomfortable to use for gaming in so many ways. My hands aren’t even that big, and my thumbs cover a lot of the screen. Then phones get hot when using them a lot. Not to mention staring that long at a mobile screen makes my eyes feel like raisins. Plus it’s really shit posture to sit with your neck bent at a 90° angle looking straight down into your lap. None of these are very enjoyable for a gaming experience.

I won’t even talk about the crazy predatory nature of most phone games being aggressive dopamine hijackers, cause that’s covered in the thread already, but that too.

OtakuAltair, in So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?

He made the ruling class richer at the cost of normal people’s lives

I imagine the guys selling bombs and guns must’ve loved a fella who wanted to make use of them, for one obvious group.

Syrus,

No comment…

ImFresh3x, in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Decent selection of low brow lingerie for the price.

Toes, in How do you discourage a dog from biting while playing?

My understanding is that they learn how to play as puppies as they would get feedback. So you may consider exaggerating when it hurts to better highlight the pain. Alternatively, another puppy to play with.

Pons_Aelius,

That was what I was going to say as well.

They usually learn to stop by interacting with their litter mates.

Devi,

Most pups are taken away too young for this to happen. You want pups with their littermates at least up to 12 weeks and they start with pretty good bite inhibition. It's so different meeting pups treated properly rather than the byb pups taken at 8 weeks or sometimes even younger.

Pons_Aelius, (edited )

Yep, the difference in that short time is pretty big. My parents bred dogs when I was a kid. My dad liked to keep them together for 16 weeks.

taken at 8 weeks or sometimes even younger.

The people who do this are arseholes running puppy mills in my opinion.

Devi,

16 is even better. It's difficult because you really want them to start socialisation by that point and breeders individually socialising a litter can be a challenge, but for those who can it's a much more stable dog the owner is starting with.

I do dog rescue and a lot of people got their first ever dog over covid and people who had no idea how to raise a pup raised some really messed up dogs. Starting with an older dog that is a bit more stable just makes all the difference.

Tolookah, (edited ) in How do you discourage a dog from biting while playing?

Yelp, make it understood that you’re not having fun. Sounds like a distressed puppy for a any time it happens. Oddly, that worked with my dog for her jumping on me, but not for everyone. It’s… Frustrating. She knows that’s not how I play, but others in my family not so much.

Edit: I’m not a trainer, you might want to get a session or two with someone who is highly rated, to get their input.

iamericandre, in How do you discourage a dog from biting while playing?

Have plenty of toys around so when she starts to get bitey you can redirect it towards a toy which will help because she’ll learn “oh cool I can chew/bite this”. Also work on teaching her the word No or off/down. Really should be high on the priority list of commands to teach. You can also try wincing in pain like a dog would and that will sometimes indicate that they’re playing too rough and will stop, but that doesn’t always work. In fact with my dog it hardly worked when he was a puppy.

immortaly007, (edited ) in Spotify Wrapped 2023 - what 0.05% are you in over how many monthly listeners?

Top 0.05% of Leprous with 8872 minutes. Amazing band!

Baahb,

What happened to Leprous? I only started doing metal a few years ago and Leprous caughty attention, but the newer stuff kinda shook me. Just wasn’t able to make that jump, but if there were context, maybe I could bridge it.

immortaly007,

I actually only discovered them like a year ago. But I really like their most recent album Especially songs like nighttime disguise are amazing!

Baahb,

Shoot I guess I’ll have to give them another chance. Maybe I’ll be able to make that genre jump

eighty, in Spotify Wrapped 2023 - what 0.05% are you in over how many monthly listeners?

I have YTMusic (lol) but came as no surprise (hence the name)- only started listening this year too

Ringmasterincestuous,

35x the average user! Haha!! That is cool as! Congrats/get some help!!

Hehe… very cool! So much new music from this post to check out on my commutes. Going to be a roller coaster of up, downs and I’m not sure what’s! Thanks!!

eighty,

Great post idea! A bit misleading cause she’s got range from chill (don’t)to upbeat/triumphant tunes (kattekekoyoi) for workouts.

Saved this post to refer later ✌️

Ringmasterincestuous,

I think I felt this just a few minutes ago. I was checking out another reply (leprous) but just the ‘popular’ song from the initial mobile view and copied the link thinking I’d post it as a reply but realised, I have no idea if op would roll their eyes or what. Could be a sin for some crowds haha.

If I’d thought the post through it would’ve been so much better haha! I should’ve asked for a link or note of the 1 song u’d give a person to give them the best introduction/chance of opening the door to the artist. Then compiled a public list.

Even a begrudged “genre” would’ve been useful lol… The way this is I have added a bunch of latest albums of artists in no order. One song I’m going to be in metal mode wanting someone to fight me on public transport to the next song when I’m having the dance party that strokes me out! Haha!!

Got a bit lucky with replies like yours that added the info!

elbarto777, in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

Is there a question here?

Valmond, in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Electronics, any kind of computer cables, switches, kvm, router, hub, mouse-wiggler etc.

Soldering station, air filters, belts, phone chargers, usb cables. NEMA stepper motors.

Bike lights. 18650 Batteries. Drones. NFC tags. Light table. Sun glasses.

IR Thermometer, blood oxygen tester.

I even bought socks there, quite ok and dirt cheap!

Reading glasses.

I’d avoid :

Fountain pens (they’re “ok” but not Lamy Safari quality), wrist watches suck badly. Small scissors.

I buy so much on AliExpress 😅
