  • This could absolutely be an introvwrted person with no social energy to spend. What do you think happens whrn an introverts social battery runs out? Shutdown and or/social anxiety.

  • Do candidates usually retrieve their lawn signs? Ive never owned a house and never really thought about what happens to all those signs but i guess j assumed people just threw them out afterward. Or left them on their lawns for months.

  • Yeah and if wages were already significantly worse than inflation, and continued to stay below it, then peoples buying power decreased even more. It didn't decrease faster than it was, but it still decreased from what it had been, making them worse off. Looking at 5 year trends foesnt really matter if theres never a true upward swing and its just a consistent downslide. You can say 'yeah but here in this spot you slowed down slightly', but the person is still closer to the bottom than they've ever been.

  • I mean give me a good imperial stout or a double ipa any day. Much more intense flavor, and the higher abv means i dont have to chug 3 just to feel something, or drink 12 over the course of a night. I can sip 3 beers all night long and be great.

  • Im not trying to diminish your situation at all but i hope you realize how lucky you are. An enormous number of people ha e probably never had 4 months of rent in their bank account at any one time. I hope everything works out for you and you get back on your feet.

  • I wouldnt call it significantly more complex, the gameplay is basically the same except with an added jetpack mechanic. I recently played through sunshine for the first time since the gamecube came out on my steamdeck and it was fantastic.

  • Maybe reexamine your preconceptions about linux. If people keep telling you something over and over, they just might have a point. Linux is way faster, more stable, and better than windows 11 in 90% of ways. The only justification i could see for using windows is if you just cant live without apex legends or fortnite or whatever multiplayer games use spyware anticheat that cant run on a real operating system. But linux is SO EASY now and 99% of the time 'just works' the same way windows xp and windows 7 used to.

  • You can either run the installer on a windows partition/computer and copy over the entire installed game folder, or if you'd rather not involve windows at all then you can just add the installer as a non steam shortcut through steam or add it to lutris and run it, and then once its installed, change the shortcut to point at the newly installed exe instead of the installer. Super easy.

  • I dont understand how a president has a 70 or 80% increase in the first 100 days though? Isnt that measuring from when they were elected? How do you get elected with less than 20% approval?

    Edit* nvm this was explained in several comments further down. I did read quite a few comments to see if someone addressed this but obviously not far enough

  • Yeah the difference is voluntary. If i can choose to donate $50 to help development on an open source project, or be forced to pay $150 to support some fucking corporate enshittification, youre damn sure id rather donate. But the point is no one has to if they don't want to or can't afford it.

  • He doesnt actually know how to write songs, but in his head he "knows" hes the main character, so he thinks hes gonna get a group of musicians together, start playing some shitty chord, and everything will just fall into place and the bassist and drummer will stsrt playing along with some brilliant ideas of their own that he can take all the credit for because he's the frontman and he started the band.

  • Yeah thats what you say to youreelf at 5 am when the birds are chirping and the sun is coming out. "Its fine ill just sleep for a couple hours and get up, and then I'll get an early night tonight to make up for it".

    image background colour

    Hey, just wanted to say i love the app and all the customization options. I was wondering though if theres a setting to change the background colour used for the top and bottom bars for images that dont fit the full aspect ratio of the screen. As of now it seems to be using an 'average' of the most dominant colour in the image which is usually very nice, but im using a dark theme and it can be quite jarring, especially at night, when the image is say a twitter screenshot, which gives very light grey top and bottom bars. Ideally I'd like to keep the average colour background for most posts but be able to set a 'minimum' brightness that is used for bright images, but it would also be nice to be able to just set a default background color. Sorry if this is already in the settings somewhere and ive missed it. Thanks

    way to view modlog in app?

    Im curious if theres a way to see the modlog for an instance without leaving the app. In the webapp there's a link on the about instance page, but im not seeing that in the app.

    question about "synchronic displacement" in TNG 'Times Arrow'

    So in this episode they go into a cave, and can read some sort of energy field, as well as Troi having a sense that there are lifeforms present. Geordie explains that the people must be displaced in time, but only by a few milliseconds. If that's true, how is there not overlap? Say the people are a few milliseconds ahead of the enterprise when they arrive, shouldn't they appear a few milliseconds later, as they still would have had to be 'present' during that time? I don't understand how they would be consistently invisible if time is a dimension like space that can be traveled through. Some past (or future) version of them would be present regardless of the desynchronization would they not?

    Please if anyone could help me understand or shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.
