Mostly because people aspire to be billionaires. Society would be much better off if people aspired to be hurricanes.

No Flinching by Stephen King. It’s a good book, but you really have to go back and start with the Mr. Mercedes series.

Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I’m not happy about it.

Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.

Wtf is a yiff? You know what, never mind.

Same in the US.

Murphy’s Cat is my favorite

Huh weird. I’ve got an account on .world and if I use that with Sync, posts don’t show get marked as read for me. Wonder what I’m doing wrong.

Really? Do posts show as read for you? Maybe Lemmy.world is still running an old version of Lemmy. Once sh.itjust.works patched to a new version 8 or 9 months ago, Sync became completely unusable for me.

Not gonna lie, it brought a smile to my face when you were sitting in your house on a cool spring day, reading a somewhat plausible but lengthy story about a captivating subject. Then you got a slight suspicion that this story almost seemed too good. Too perfect for the situation. How could this random person on the Internet have such a great story about being a snake charmer, a stunt pilot, or whatever. Then it hits you just like when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.

I know right?!

my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars

Made this a couple weeks ago for you

Glad to be of assistance, homie

Lol one of the comments was:

first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.

I felt exactly the same way

Lack of sports content is a bit of a rough spot for Lemmy. This is one of the few places where Linux memes get substantially more engagement than a super bowl thread.

Side note, the superb owl community here is pretty great.

Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.

Lol pretty much
