  • What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty?

    Jump

  • He'll be released and probably be offered all sorts of book, talk show, movie deals. He certainly won't do anything criminal. That would would be cuckoo bonkers. CEO's of unpopular companies will increase their security and certainly not ever just wander around on their own outside in the street. He will be the subject of all sorts of controversial arguments which will be used to market him. Or... he'll go into some kind of anonymous relocation program and live a quiet life out of the public eye. Either way it's going to be one of the most interesting moments to watch in recent history.

  • I'm going full time as a bus driver in a virtual version of Spain in this newly revealed simulator

    Jump

  • Bus Simulator 21 was not a fun game. The environment and people just felt like your were in a giant dollhouse. Also, currently it's on Steam as "Mostly Positive" but if you go look at the reviews it's a sea of red thumbs downs. How does that even happen??

    Anyway, it's the environment and people I'll be paying special attention to, cos I'm not getting burnt again. Specially with excellent alternatives out there like Bus Bound.

  • How do you decide if you are living a “good life?”

    Jump

  • I'd say it's how you feel when you get up every morning. There's a few moments when we first wake up when our brains haven't had a chance to switch on all the filters, so we get the purest sense of our baseline happiness then. If you wake up every morning feeling deeply satisfied, I'd say you're probably living a good life, whatever you might define that to be.

  • Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games

    Jump

  • Hey thanks for that. I hadn't heard of this one. Looks really good! Grabbing the demo now 🙂👍

  • Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games

    Jump

  • Oh I loved Desperados 3! 😁 I paid £18 for it back in March 22 and spent 61hrs in it. Excellent game. Shadow Gambit is meant to be good too by the same people.

  • Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games

    Jump

  • £70 for a game was never justifiable. In the last 5 years these have been my most expensive purchases:

    £27 Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream (Finished it - Superb game!) £50 Assassin's Creed Shadows (Played 6hrs - REGRET! Won't ever spend that much on a game again) £26 Manor Lords (Played 4 hours - REGRET!) £28 No Rest For The Wicked (Played 8hrs - Will play more) £28 Tower Simulator 3 (Played 19hrs - Superb game!) £34 X-Plane 12 (Played 8hrs - REGRET!)

    Now... people who PRE-purchase games for £70... That's truly mind boggling.

  • Humanity has “lost the fight against climate change”

    Jump

  • How do you mean?

  • Humanity has “lost the fight against climate change”

    Jump

  • Humanity has “lost the fight against climate change” ...because of a few stubborn, greedy governments who have done everything they can to get us all to believe it's because we didn't recycle enough.

    No ordinary person ever had any power to change this. We could only make change happen if we all came together but we won't because apparently we're the problem.

    Also worth noting that getting people to feel apathetic and fatalistic using messages like this post is actually a well known strategy to destroy motivation for change. The battle is definitely ongoing and we may yet win it. Don't give up hope or they win.

  • Mark Ruffalo Wants You To Boycott ChatGPT Because They Donated To President Donald Trump A Lot

    Jump

  • But what does Ja Rule think?

  • Do you like working from home? Yes or no, gimme some reasons.

    Jump

  • I get to work from home exclusively. My right to do that is never questioned. My boss is super understanding and my work gives me holidays whenever I want on short notice. I get raises all the time and if any of our clients start being toxic I'm allowed to shove them out of the nearest airlock. Yes, I love being self employed 😁.

    Everyone should at least once, seriously consider starting their own business and working from home permanently. Specially now you can literally put everything you love doing, whatever it is, into ChatGPT and it'll tell you the best business for YOU to start, how to structure it, what you'll need and how to make it all work (Yes, yes AI will be the end of us bla bla but in the mean time it's a goldmine of free information and inspiration).

    Having a job can be nice and cosy but working for yourself is incredible. There's no HR, no KPI's decided by someone else, no office politics and you can work from home wearing scuba gear if you want to. It really is worth trying to find your bliss and not just accepting things as they are.

    Couple of little success nuggets I will add... Only buy hardware/software as you need it, not before. In fact, don't buy anything until there's a clear need. No office space, no business cards even, no cool e-ink tablet to take notes with or other vanity silliness. Nothing you don't need. Don't offer services you don't need to offer. If you behave like a swiss army knife, you'll be treated like one forever.

    Whatever you're selling, make it a monthly subscription. This might be the most important bit of advice I have if you want to work happily from home for yourself successfully. Try out a bunch of networking groups and join a couple that focus on friendship first and business second. Those are your office pals who will bring you clients, be clients and give you advice and all you have to do is the same for them.

    I guess no one's reading this far down but that's ok. For some reason your post inspired me 🤭

  • I think I've just figured out a possible ADHD thing I've done all my life...

    Jump

  • Oh definitely. In fact it's maybe dopamine hoarding so I get to experience it all in one go? But I've had that panicky feeling of being discovered before I finish a positive task forever.

  • Are we done with business cards?

    Jump

  • This line is interesting from this article (no paywall or ads).

    "Thinking about business cards in the future, they are destined to go the same way as the tie. Some people will use them but they will not serve any real purpose other than to simply establish an image about the person or the company they work for".

    I think that feels about right. It hadn't even occurred to me to compare it to tie wearing, but I think it's true. Maybe 2 out of 30 people now wear any kind of suit or tie to the groups I go to and it used to be the standard. I haven't had to order any new cards in over 2 years and it used to be every six months.

  • Everyone Hates Windows Right Now

    Jump

  • That guy's so funny "If you think that's insane hit subscribe!!" Wait what? These idiots reveal their agenda so quickly. Windows is fine. Honestly, I'm speaking to you from outside the bubble and we're all ok. Everything's running fine and updates are happening without any issue for most of us. This sweaty bearded salesman is just dog whistling Linux users and "mentally vulnerable" Windows users. If you think switching operating systems is going to go smoothly for you, boy do I have a bridge I want to sell you. "Everyone Hates Windows Right Now" yeah right 🤣

  • What's your opinion on prostitution?

    Jump

  • The only thing more certain to exist till the end of time than prostitution is people complaining about it. I like it because it makes something explicit that is implicit in so many apparently non transactional relationships. There are so many people who say prostitution should be banned, who are also in relationships/marriages where they expect sex for shelter, food, safety or whatever. Prostitution makes the transaction clear. People point to the exploitative nature of it, but then reveal their real agenda by also rejecting the idea of making it safer for the people selling access to their bodies. The whole thing is a massively hypocritical pile of double standards. Mix into that cultures with backwards patriarchal religious doctrines and that's where you get the really angry people who talk about dishonor and stoning and all that jazz. Prostitution has been around since there were people and will always be around. When the puritans are in charge it just hides for a bit. This has been my TED talk, thanks lol

  • NSFW

    In what public places have you always wanted to try having sex?

    Jump

  • I used to have a fantasy about doing it in nature and had a gf who once took me to some kind of holy well in Cornwall where we started doing it. Half way through a bus load of Japanese tourists appeared and very politely walked past us as we tried to hide under our blanket. Kinda lost my interest in public sex after that.

  • How many of you are interested in one single genre of porn your whole life?

    Jump

  • For some reason it's always been "Landlord vs. tenant late with the rent" for me. If it involves the phrase "Are you sure there's no other way I can pay the rent" I'm in lol (btw... looking at the community guidelines in here your post might be more at home in Ask Lemmy NSFW).

  • What was the most under rated British TV show ever for you?

    Jump

  • That was actually the show I had in mind when I asked the question! 😁 It's another one we quote constantly. If I ever want my wife to come see something cool I did, I'll ask her if she's marvelling "Did you marvel?! Are you marvelling?".
