calypsopub, to comicstrips in [Alzwards Corner] Haha, I'm in danger!

Me the first time I played Skyrim and 10 minutes in, found the giants. I was launched into orbit

calypsopub, to asklemmy in What has been the best thing that has happened to you so far?

I’m not one to give advice. My joy is a happy accident of chemistry, I think.

Printers that work.

Thanks

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

Exactly. As a Boomer who grew up in a small town with telephone “party lines” I just can’t be arsed to care. Come look in my windows if you need a thrill.

Surprisingly (to me), having a child. I never wanted kids. Never even babysat, didn’t like them-- hated how silly, loud, and disgusting they are. Then I got pregnant by accident. I was terrified. I was abused as a child and have a bad temper, so I was afraid I would lose it and hurt my kid. Pregnancy was difficult, labor and delivery moreso, but the instant he popped out … I cannot describe to you the transformation. I am sure it is purely hormonal; pitocin is a helluva drug. My husband even said, “Who are you and what have you done with my wife?” It was akin to a lobotomy. Suddenly I adored babies and wanted to hold them and coo at them. I became more mellow and patient, went from the sort of conservative mindset that thinks “get a job,” to the theretofore incomprehensible liberal views like “most in jail aren’t really to blame for the circumstances they find themselves in, let’s help them instead of punish them.”

My son is by far the biggest blessing in my life. He is a companion that I never grow tired of, a wise sounding board, and a balm to my old age. I am literally a kinder, better person because I had him.

Is there an idiot guide how to do this? I’ve never pirated and I don’t currently have a VPN. I use my Xbox for streaming straight to my TV using HDMI. I see posts like yours with various words like Plex, overseerr, docker, jellyfin, etc., and I don’t know where to even start. I could Google it, but among the hundreds of results, I don’t know which things are reputable, functional, and not malware.

Right? Such a good show.

calypsopub, to asklemmy in Who doesn't use an adblocker and why?

This. I don’t skip the ads on creators I like because I want them to keep creating.

calypsopub, to linux in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

I don’t ever go back and look at the votes.

calypsopub, to piracy in Love devs' attitude towards piracy, TruePianos v1.9.8 (audio VSTi plugin)

This is the way

calypsopub, to newcommunities in Idiots of Facebook Marketplace

“Idiot” has not been a medical term for decades. It no longer refers to a particular diagnosis. Nobody who is not an idiot thinks “idiot” in its current incarnation is ableist. See also: imbecile, cretin, crazy, bonkers, etc.
