So Cal, it's near The Getti if you're ever passing via 405. Quite a few gated mansions, although it's not quite as high as Bel Air which is adjacent.

Can confirm that this works. I have a job that takes me into the deep dark reaches of Brentwood, CA, and that's probably turned me more away from capitalism than anything I've ever read on Lemmy, lol.

I mean, technically his power is telepathy, just dialed up to 11. You could probably specify limits on magnitude.

Any power can be OP if you up the magnitude of it all... E.g. I shapeshift into the sun, ending all life on earth.

It's kind of a tacit rule that it's about comic book super powers so we don't go biblical with it, but I get it. Hell, marvel has reality benders. I use "pick a mutant power" so at least we're working in x-men lore.

Very few people trying to un-convert you on your deathbed, while the plenty of people trying to convert you to a religion... because in many cases, that's literally their belief that you can be "saved."

But arguing with a straw man meme is kinda pointless- especially on Lemmy, where most of you already know that, lol.

Correct, plus if it's reddit it's possibly a bot created specifically to make that straw man real. Christians in particular have a persecution fetish, after all.

I'd say it's about 20 minutes per load, and three tend to be done a week and some change. The main problem is also having kids who are too young to help me but old enough to need a full set of clothes every day (+pajamas).

But at least there's podcasts to listen to while doing it...

While I appreciate Always Sunny, I think I'd rather have a Curb Your Enthusiasm where Janeway keeps upsetting the crew by not following Starfleet norms, complaining about said norms, shrugging, and then the song plays.

Somehow the Tuvix episode is stretched into a season that ends with Janeway accidentally (but not really accidentally) ending him.

What about kicking the tires? They're forgetting to kick the tires!

I'm only able to keep up with it during my summer break from teaching. That said, I've told people that it's a matter of energy, not time*. I get my house spotless in two hours a week, but doing just one 90 minute lecture drains me to the point that the last thing I want to do is clean.

*Note: Folding clothes can fuck off, somehow that nonsense takes an hour with minimal impact on my home.

It's kinda bananas that people think that's even ok... why even ask you? We all have access to LLMs, if I wanted an AI response I'd just talk to an AI. It's not like boomers using voice to text or something, it's more akin to setting up an out-of-office reply.

I'm playing Arc Rise Fantasia, as part of the Wii RetroAchevements event. I never even heard of it but 15 years later, I think it might be my favorite "Tales Of" game while not being an actual Tales Of game (the scenario writer did Symphonia and Abyss but was allowed to go darker and more serious with this).

It flopped tremendously because of a terrible English dub and being a JRPG on Wii. The English VAs are practically reading from a script in one take and the hundreds of skits aren't voiced. The undub patch is a must, as the Japanese VAs are phenomenal and most of them are still working so you might recognize them.

Its IP is under Marvelous but developed by a defunct developer so it's probably never going to see a rerelease... though, I guess anything is possible. Even if it did, I'd wait for a sale, hehe.
