Nemo, to asklemmy in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Same sitch, but my Dwarf Fortress hours are much, much higher.

If I can combine all versions of the Civilization series it might top it, but not by much.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?

Maybe that’s why I’m enjoying lemmy more: No access to reports and removed comments.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?

Yeah, I got into an exchange the other day where a dozen users made a point of telling me why they support using misogynistic slurs, or how the slur isn’t any worse than other impolite words, or how it isn’t really misogynistic, or how it’s okay when used against evil people.

It was real disappointing, and I’m strongly considering unsubbing the community where the thread took place.

Nemo, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

Natural is not always good. Being disappointed or frustrated are acceptable reactions; getting upset is not.

Nemo, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

The version of this I use is “You can’t unmash a potato.”

Nemo, to asklemmy in How do you enjoy listening to digital content? Speakers? Headphones? Earbuds?

Speakers, ideally in surround.

Nemo, to asklemmy in What replacement for each major social media do you use

Instead of livejournal, I wrote my own blogging software in PHP.

Nemo, to asklemmy in What's it like working night shift?

My youngest is about to enter kindergarten; I need to transition to daytime. It means leaving my current job, which is love, but otherwise I’ll never see my kids.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Which one are you?

This is Taco John’s potato olé erasure, and I will not stand for it.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Posting: Hit and runs

Not trying to take a stab; trying to share a different perspective.

Nemo, to asklemmy in What exercises can I do to strengthen my willpower?

90% of willpower is preparation. Arrange your life to make the things you should do easier and the things you should avoid less convenient.

Example: To avoid sleeping in, or worse, dicking around on my phone instead of sleeping or getting up, I put my phone to charge on the other side of the bedroom.

Another: I put a speaker in my kitchen to listen to music when I wash dishes. A lot easier to wash just those last few pots, even if I feel like I’m ready for a break, if I want to finish the song.

Nemo, to asklemmy in Posting: Hit and runs

I feel the opposite. If someone goes on an “Ask” community and is responding to most answers, it feels like they’re trying to push an agenda. The polite thing, in my mind, is upvote the answers you get and only respond to ask clarifying questions or maaaaybe say thanks if anything is particularly insightful or helpful.

Nemo, to asklemmy in What should I look for when I’m choosing an instance?

Do you plan to create communities? If so, choose the instance where the communities best fit the theme of that instance.

Nemo, to asklemmy in People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?

No, I don’t have to accept a digital photo of your license as ID. No, your birth certificate is not proof of identity; it doesn’t have your picture.

But the absolute worst one: Not only is this a beat-up photocopy of a foreign ID card with no photo; it also clearly states that you are 19 and even if I accepted this document as valid identification, which I can’t, I still could not legally serve you alcohol.
