The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Don't suggest hobbies or human contact. It's been suggested and it doesn't work.

I have a job I don't particularly hate nor like, some coworkers I get along with others are just morons, I go to work, then buy groceries, go home, eat, watch tv, go to bed. Rinse and repeat.

On my free days I do sport and watch pirated netflix. I don't spend much money on clothing or media and save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea. I don't eat out because I like cooking my own food and restaurants are expensive and the food is bland.

Everything is so expensive nowadays btw...

Most people bore me. I'm like an atheist monk.

I don't want to kill myself or anybody fwiw. It's like I don't give a crap about anything or anyone and don't see what's the point of living.

I don't want to travel because it costs money.

As soon as my cognitive abilities start to fail I'm going to be very easy prey for any online scammer.

In Dying Light 2 the settings UI resembles the settings UI of modern Assassin's Creed games (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla)

This is kind of a follow up question to this post: How important is flirting within the dating scene?

I have never in my life flirted with anyone. Seeing how I'm still single I figure I might want to change strategies. So what is the best way to show someone you're romantically (or sexually) interested in them?

And if you can, please include examples.

Note: I am a guy, straight.

Other severe storm events like straight line winds can be dangerous and unpredictable like tornadoes, so why do we have tornado sirens instead of more general highly-severe-storm-alarm sirens?

Someone found this buried in the terms and conditions of tiktok and is saying that it somehow means Facebook owns it.

What is this actually supposed to be telling me?

I have anger issues, which I can’t control. I am considered conventionally attractive (though I don’t see it) and many people think I’m cool and want to be around me.

Like I said, though, I have anger issues where I will act quite aggressively towards people. One time, someone I knew said hi to me, so I screamed “I HEARD YOU”. I also tend to type very dryly and with periods when I’m upset (which is admittedly ~90% of the time but I can’t control that).

My friend doesn’t talk to me as much and I really don’t get why because even when I’m “aggressive”, it’s tough love and I’m trying to help them. If I didn’t love her, I wouldn’t be like that.

I’m even like this with guys I’ve dated and I love them not as brothers.

Women also piss me off more than men do, so I hang out more with them because I feel like they get me and aren’t as bitchy. (Part of the reason why I’m bi curious but never found a woman I’d date, excluding one I almost went out with).

While I do tend to praise men and ignore women, as some people say, it’s tough love since I think women should be the best versions of themselves :) [I believe this is why society is so hard on women as a whole]

But yeah, TLDR; My mood problems impact the people I care about, and I’m wondering if it’s a turn off since some people don’t want to be around me rather than loving me for me.

I have a reason for my actions, people just choose to ignore those reasons and misinterpret me.

I got 32 additional GB of ram at a low, low cost from someone. What can I actually do with it?

So when I drink water I always like cold water even if I'm in a cold environment. But that makes sense because I'm a warm blooded creature.

On the other hand snakes are cold blooded and they require external warmth so I could see them prefering warm drinking water. At the same time though, in a natural environment any water they drank would be cooler than the air so maybe cooler water would feel more normal. Also in a properly setup terarium a snake has ample access to warmth from other sources so they don't really need the additional heat from warm drinking water so maybe having cool water would be a nice change and allow better temp regulation. But warm water also has the side benefit of helping boost humidity.

Anyways, this is just what I decided to overthink today. I'm also not talking actually hot or cold, just lukewarm or cool. What do you all think? Would my pet snake prefer to have their water dish topped up with cool or warm water?

like being told to “move my fat ass” or just plain annoying and then telling me they were joking.

Does the FDIC guarantee even mean anything when all Federal agencies are being gutted, and no one can expect to be compensated? With what Trump and DOGE are doing to the Treasury, and the moves they're making both foreign and domestic, ripping up the Democratic system of Checks & Balances, and tearing asunder the post War world order over the objection of nuclear armed European nations.

So straight out the gate: I don't ever really flirt (yes, even if I like the girl). And I'm not sure whether I should change strategies. So hence my question.

Note: I am a guy.

Edit: Thank you all for your input. I have come to the realisation I need to let the other party (better) know I am romantically interested in them. Either by means of flirtation or otherwise.

Yes, I know DRM-free means you can still physically play the games. Thats not what I'm asking.

Sparked by a recent discussion about DRM, I'm wondering what happens legally when different game stores close. For example, if Steam shuts down, are licences presumed to presist or are they revoked? What about GOG, Itch.io or Epic? I couldn't find anything in the terms of service specifying.

I've had a slight obession with them recently, is it possible?

Because, to me, it make no sense whatsoever...

I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).

With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.

Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.

i was browsing youtube and i saw a video of a guy recording a short house tour of a house in an asian country, and in one of the rooms, he says, "this is a western style room". so it got me wondering, if a western style room is a room that is inspired on western architecture but it was made in a country that is not part of the west, would that mean that a modern house in mexico is "western style"?? are all houses in mexico "western style"?? because people say it's not the west but their architecture is spanish and european and stuff like that but since people and wikipedia say they're not western.. that would mean western style?? thank you!!!!

I randomly got this in the mail. It's seems to be a collection of like, snippets and poems and what have you. Not mad at it, just curious.

My sister Lena’s friend (they are no longer friends actually) Ashlyn (14) seems to have an inflated ego. She thinks she’s better than everyone else and puts people down to prove it.

She specifically targets Lena because she’s there with her and Lena seems to be her scapegoat when something goes wrong. She takes her anger out on Lena and scolds her when something happens (ex: if someone drops something, she screams “Dammit Lena!”). One time, she went to our house to visit Lena and said “I SWEAR TO GOD LENA. I SWEAR I’LL KILL YOU” but then told me she was joking.

She says several racial slurs and the K-word and such to people as well because “she has the right as a black person”, even though she’s not just saying the N word.

I remember once she tried to “ruin Lena’s life” because Ashlyn apparently had a boyfriend or something but was being romantic with another guy. The first guy eventually found out and broke up with Ashlyn. This made her mad that Lena asked if she was still with the first guy (not knowing he found out and broke up).

I tried mediating something with Lena and Ashlyn in the past, but Ashlyn told me “It’s just the way I am, I’m neurodivergent with mental illnesses.”

So yeah, I’m at least very glad that Ashlyn won’t be coming to our house for a while.

It seems like Funko pops shouldn't have stood a chance in a space so thoroughly saturated with collectible plastic characters from any franchise imaginable. And there was candy involved.
