I did once.

It was Black Friday of 2006, a week after the release of the Wii. My friend had to work at a store in the mall in the wee hours of the morning, and he dropped me off to wait at GameStop so I could test my luck. Nintendo has always been infamous for engineered scarcity, and the Wii was no exception, so I was fully prepared to leave with nothing but an interesting story to tell. I had never seen the horrors of Black Friday, and was morbidly curious to experience it for myself at least once.

The experience was pretty tame. At first I waited outside the mall. I had my guide dog with me, and I allowed other people in line to give her pets and scritches as we waited. Not gonna lie, me bringing her was a bit of social engineering. Who's gonna hit a blind guy? We got to chatting about what the line was for, and I discovered it was for an unrelated promotion. I asked if I could be let in to wait in front of the GameStop in the food court out of the cold, and they let me enter.

I can't remember if others in the same line came in with me, or if they had already been there, but I ended up behind a dad and his two kids, and they were both getting a Wii. There were only three in stock, so I ended up getting lucky. I even got a copy of Twilight Princess, as well as FF XII on the PS2 as a Christmas gift for my sister.

tl;dr: veni vidi wiici

I mean people who don't care at all about their privacy or don't think about it, but they laugh at others for trying to remain anonymous on the Internet and so on.

• It should be growable in a small space.
• Would be nice if it didnt require lot of attention.
• Should fill my stomach
• Would be nice if I can grow lots of it in a small time.

Non-music

1. He has a room full of sith artifacts

2. He influenced Count Dooku to seperate themselves from the Republic

3. He spends a LOT of time with young Jedi younglings and padawans, not in a good way

4. He's been mentioned in the Sith Documents, and has a bunch of photos with Darth Plageuis

If this is removed, I completely understand.

in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?🤔

For me personally, I use Blorp on desktop and Voyager on mobile. I've tried a lot of mobile clients but despite lacking a lot of piefed features, I like voyager because of the ui

SOLVED: It was an obscure Goa'uld dialect.

Is this gibberish? 20 bucks at a thrift store.

My first TikTok reached a whopping 100k views, but now I only get 50 on average. Is that intentional? It sure feels like it.

A lack of filter means saying whatever is on your mind without considering politeness, appropriateness, relevance, or respect for the situation. People who have no filter may use profanity when they should not or bring up sensitive topics such as religion, politics, sex, body parts, or body odors in ways that offend others. Human communication follows social norms, and these norms discourage creating unnecessary controversy, embarrassing people, or discussing highly divisive topics in casual conversation. When someone ignores these norms, they may be seen as awkward, weird, or socially unaware, and others may feel unsafe or uncomfortable interacting with them. Appropriateness is a skill that can be learned by thinking before speaking, considering the audience and situation, and asking whether something is respectful, relevant, and suitable to say.

Anything fun or interesting going on? Relaxing, doing chores, listening to music, playing games, reading? I wanna hear about it!

Management may eventually purge engineers that won’t adopt AI.

Normally when this is asked, people think about reviving, curing, resurrecting. This question is about who you save if you were transported to a time a little before their death, like maybe a day before or even a week before. Anything about terminal illnesses or diseases contracted don't really count here because, when those things happen, they happen and there's really nothing you could do to have prevented it.

I think I would've wanted to prevent JFK's assassination. I'd tell him "dude, do not get in that limo and drive down Elm Street" and I'd show him a newspaper clip of the day of his assassination. I'd probably be looked at a little crazily and suspected of maybe being involved in something that pertains to that day. But, it's an effort I would've gone through to do that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm generally pro-Ukraine and tend to trust The Guardian... I just thought this photo looked a bit 'off' and wondered if it was just me?

For me, it would be GLaDOS.

What about you, what is your favorite media villain?

My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you'd be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

Or is this just a poor old man being harassed?
