I feel it! I feel the cosmos!

“If you can’t reinvent the wheel, then just make the wheel more expensive.” -Tim Apple, probably

Oohhh, that sounds delicious! My old boss at work was telling me about Brazilian lemonades a while back and I’ve been meaning to try it at some point.

While it’s a series, it’s really the only franchise like it, so it kinda is its own genre: Katamari.

So what’s the reason to go to a mall? Crappy food court food?

The last dozen or so times I’ve been to a mall, the only thing I’ve spent money on was food. It’s hard to justify spending money at the mall when I know I can get just about anything there from an online retailer for a lot cheaper. But I can’t get an Orange Julius online. Yet.

Naturally there is always going to be a certain amount of player decline over time, but I have to wonder how much of this could have been saved had Sony not created a PR nightmare for the game with the required PSN account linking.

That said, I’m sure there’s going to be a sharp spike in players very soon, as Arrowhead should be releasing a new enemy faction into the game very shortly, which is going to bring a lot of players back again for a while. Hopefully they’ll find a way to keep those players interested again.

These days, it’s “mid”.

You can’t prove there isn’t!

“Oh yeah, are you sure about that? Then why does my AirTag say it’s already landed on Jupiter, hmm? I’d like to speak to your manager.”

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.

Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google’s got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn’t fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.

Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.

I used to buy these little pocket-sized Sudoku books that I’d keep with me, usually play a puzzle or two while commuting to work or something.

I didn’t know watermelon could do this.

If done in a controlled environment, it’s apparently very tasty! I recently stumbled upon a tutorial somebody made recently about how to make watermelon jerky with a dehydrator. Apparently the flavor gets significantly sweeter. He was making it for hiking/survival purposes, so removing all the water weight lets you pack a lot of lightweight nutrients, too.

That’s really cool! I wonder if there’s a way to find the previous owners of the house, that’d make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.

Yeah, I’m not so sure it’s your Lemmy client that’s causing your downvotes.

No wrongdoing was found!

On surface level, sure. But the consequences of this drama will be seen across the industry. Google and Amazon both appear to have worked to have kept this quiet, which raises a lot of important questions about how the business of video streaming will handle child safety.

Even though it may seem like drama, there’s an important story here, and it directly involves the futures of some key players in the tech sector so it’s relevant.

I’m 100% certain that if he actually didn’t know the kid’s age beforehand, that he would have said so in one of his responses. If the situation was anything other than what everybody is already suspecting, he would have put it out there instead of letting the internet speculate wildly. He wouldn’t just be sitting on that little nugget of information if it existed. He was too specific in his responses to have left that out unintentionally.

Yeah, and there’s a much different context. Those aren’t real children on the show. Those text threads are with adults on both ends. The entire interaction from start to finish is mitigated by professionals.

We’re talking about a situation involving a real child, not a sting operation where there isn’t an actual victim. There’s a real child whose identity would be put at risk of being exposed by releasing the logs.

This isn’t primetime TV drama. This is a real situation involving a real minor. You should take a step back from the screen for a minute if you’re struggling to see the difference.

The amount of people eager to see a sexting thread with a child is fucking absurd.

I missed an opportunity to nab a free ticket to a George Carlin show because I couldn’t get the day off work. That ended up being his last tour before he died.
