Someone on Lemmy posted a link to https://corru.observer a week or two ago, and I'm really enjoying the game.
Doctors seem way to quick to assume that patients are imagining their symptoms. I fortunately haven't had that happen to me yet, but my mom has some stories.
There were so many unlockable challenges too. I don't think I was ever able to unlock everything.
So that's why my constant inner-monologue is verbose and meaningful, but I can't communicate for shit?
Memes have been around possibly longer than written language in various forms.
The definition of "meme" is:
A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.
A lot of the memes on lemmy are shit, but still, they've been around.
I found some new webcomics while browsing Lemmy and bookmarked their websites to visit occasionally.
If you can figure out what "disco golfing" is and make it happen, I'm sure someone out there will thank you.
The company I work for is testing out an AI phone answering service. The thing sends messages to the wrong people and thinks one of my coworkers only exists if you don't include her last name when asking for her.
But sure, let's give them weapons.
My best buddy for about 18 years now:
When I lay on my bed and she's sitting at the other end, I say to her, "you wanna sit next to me?" And she immediately starts walking toward me to give my arm a head-bump and receive a neck massage.
Whoa, not what I was trying to say at all. Nor was I implying that OP or anyone else here is lazy.
There's a huge difference though between not getting a break and not being willing to do what is expected of you (within reason), and this isn't really something that can be generalized so easily.
Again, I never meant to imply anything about any particular person, so I apologize if it came across that way.
In most lines of work, that's perfectly fine. In a hospital, someone can die if there isn't enough help.
But again, this is entirely the hospital management's fault for failing to properly staff their hospitals.
My mom was a nurse. For her there was no down time. Usually she couldn't even stop to eat lunch. She'd just grab a granola bar or something and keep going. Hospitals are dangerously understaffed.
Yet there were still some people who would stand around chatting or whatever while her arthritic ass ran around the floor taking care of people.
Wouldn't you need to say at least one of the punchlines? Where did this guy go to med school?
Have you considered buying artillery?
Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of that site.
I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website.
I tried contacting both Citi bank and Wayfair, but since I don't have the full account number, I couldn't get past Citi's automated phone menu.
Wayfair's phone system was a fucking nightmare getting transferred to various departments, but eventually transferred me to a foreign call center where they insisted that they needed my social security number and birth date to file a report, but I'm not giving them that.
The best thing is that the scammer managed to get a higher credit limit than I was able to get on my own card.
I use Blender for most of my animating needs. And using Houdini Indie has helped me to start thinking about asset creation in a more procedural way, which helped when I needed to make my own building generator.
This week I've been trying to figure out a way to load user-created characters and skins in a multiplayer game. My character setup scripts seem to work, but still a ton of hurtles to get over.
After I showed her one of the bird videos, she now eagerly waits while I turn on the tablet in the morning and she watches me open Youtube and pick a video.
Sometimes she accidentally closes the video, or opens the comments and then I need to step in to make sure she doesn't post any offensive comments.
She's clearly having fun, running around in circles, chewing sticks, and finding and eating cat poop. And I don't want to discourage her from having fun when I take her outside (except for the cat poop thing -- that needs to stop).
But she seems to have the idea that jumping up and biting my wrists or my ankles is a fun game that we both enjoy, and she seems to be getting more agressive about it. !
Let me preface this one by saying that the blame for this is entirely on me and my carelessness when shopping online. I did not get scammed. I was just being stupid.
Several times.
So I recently bought a synthesizer to connect to my MIDI controller (an 88 key keyboard with some knobs and blinking lights and shit).
I saw that this new device has a 3.5mm MIDI port while I only had the classic 5-pin kind. No problem, I'll buy an adapter.
The adapter arrives, and I discover that the one I bought has the female 5-pin connector and won't plug into the keyboard. Well, crap.
Buy another adapter. Made sure the 5-pin side was male.
Oops. Turns out that the 3.5mm MIDI cables come in type A or type B, and I chose poorly.
So I search for "midi type a to b converter" and without thinking at all, I bought a converter that has two female connectors. Fuck me.
At this point, a sane person would've just cut the first two adapters and soldered the correct ends together, but fuck it, I'm in too deep now. I gotta get a 3.5mm MIDI cable with two male ends to complete this daisy-chain of madness and find out how long it takes for me to get bored and find another hobby.
I'm tired of hearing about popular games. Are there any games you played and were surprised by how little attention it got? A game you really enjoyed, but was only reviewed by five people?
I have an app that I released a couple years ago (plus another legacy app that I maintain for one of my company's clients). My game has a long-ish title, but it was fine until some asshat at Google decides that 33 characters is too long. On top of that, every time I'm forced to update the target SDK, I need to spend several hours figuring out a bunch of new build errors. This is not how I wanted to spend my vacation time.
Spotted this one on some scrap metal. It dropped its food for a moment, but then picked it up again.
I've been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.
But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?
