Dark Souls is a JRPG

Did they also argue that a hot dog is a sandwich?

I wasted so many years making rice on the stove. The rice cooker has been a game changer, and not just for rice. Mine can do cakes, breads, other grains like quinoa… I don’t have many “single use appliances” but the rice cooker has designated countertop space.

Something this “blackout” caused me to notice as an individual is just how much of my time and attention I was giving away for free for a faceless corporation to monetize. I quit Reddit entirely and, while still visiting Lemmy/a few forums, I’ve noticed my “Doomscrolling” habit is rapidly dying.

I would bet $20 that this time next year Reddit will be 50% or less of their market, and several other alternatives will be growing faster than we’ve ever seen platforms grow.

I fervently hope this prediction comes true, and the internet becomes a little healthier in the process.

Maybe a controversial opinion, but I’m glad they are charging for it. I wish there were a better way to vet who gets to be beta testers, but at least by charging money, they are ensuring only people who care about the technology get to use it.

Maybe I’m jaded, but it seems like drivers, in general, have gotten worse post-pandemic, and I wouldn’t trust 90% of them with autonomous driving features in the state it’s in.

That’s exactly what my first thought was. How many kids did you know growing up who practiced singing into their hairbrush, convinced they would be rock stars?

Beautiful! How are you keeping the critters out of those?
