There ya go

Jeremy. You need to focus right now. Mrs. Cuddlesworth will kill you if she thinks you’re here. There’s only one way out. Time to put those mirroring exercises from theater camp to good use.

… why are you boldly speculating on OP’s language status? That’s pulled directly from the article

Checked other sources, the restriction is only in place for three years.

Whales aren’t people who can afford whatever, so they spend whatever. Whales are people invested enough that the perceived value added is more than the money it costs. Most whales, therefore, are regular people who are addicted to the game rather than moneybags who could easily afford it. So yeah, it does smell of victim blaming. We should be calling out the bad business practice, rather than calling out those being victimized by the bad business practice.

Jet set. Jet set. Jet set, ahhhhh, Groovy! JET SET RADIO!

My fiancée got an upper GI infection cause our cat was doing this while she slept.

I’ve learned a little Japanese and can say that repeating words changes the meaning. Like an intensifier. So, “wait” followed by “stop” could be a legitimate translation, showing the increased demand level of the repeated word.

Surprise Medical Billing has mostly been nerfed after the No Surprises Act here in the US. After 2022, so long as you went to an INN provider, then you can’t be charged OON pricing for any OON services that you may have encountered during that visit.

We are all humans, we are all dumb. A smart human isn’t one who knows everything, they’re one who knows what they don’t know and knows who knows that. And, ya know, defers to the people who know about things when they don’t.

It’s tricky, since it’s moving at the speed of light, but I still find an icebreaker followed up by an invitation to a low-stakes social engagement to be the best way to proceed /s

… the location? Hezbollah is not Hamas. Lebanon is not Gaza.

Did you hit your head? This comment makes no sense

Don’t call them a punk. I know punks, punks are good people. They’re a little shit

Sam & Fuzzy? Holy shit. That’s a pull. They don’t sign because they’re old school. All of their stuff is hosted on their website.

Sarcasm tag exists, it should be used. If you’re getting downvoted because you didn’t use the tag… good. We don’t need lemmy to breed nazis/assholes

The tag does two things. One, for people like me (ND ASD) the tag allows us to actually understand what you’re trying to say. Kind of a dick move to exclude people from the conversation. Two, and far more important, it’s no longer a question if you’re being sarcastic. That doesn’t sound important until you remember that 4chan literally brought back nazis because they thought ironic nazism was hilarious. And then all the closeted nazis used that to say “none of those people are being ironic, they all mean what they’re saying” to new, properly primed recruits.
