Not the person you're replying to but you can get Alpha-gal Syndrome (causing potentially deadly allergies to red meat) from the lone star tick so I can see why it would be a natural follow up question to this discussion.

As a kid it was one of my favorite shows even though in my mind in the 90s it was 50yrs old haha

I think part of the problem is that everything is trying to be some cinematic masterpiece vs back then a lot of shows were made purely for the fun premise. The Boys definitely found a balance between the two. What I would do for another show like Chuck.

Wow that looks fun! Shocked that a game like this is still charging $20 after being out for 10yrs though. Good for them!

My best guess is karma farming so they can sell them off. Probably create hundreds of accounts they can sell off. If some brand buys an account that looks reputable for $20-$100 to use it for astroturfing then that's a pretty good deal for both sides. Shitty deal for everyone else.

My friends seem to prefer tolerating the official Reddit app because "there is more on Reddit". I'd rather have less for the time being and not lose my mind with that POS app not to mention fuck Reddit for what they did to 3rd party devs and users alike with that API change.

I refused to install the Reddit app out of principle other than just to check it out one time out of morbid curiosity. Without the 3rd party app creators that made apps long before Reddit did, back when Reddit wouldn't, Reddit probably wouldn't be anywhere as big as they are today. They brought new users in that likely wouldn't have used Reddit anywhere except on a mobile device and certainly not in a browser when even retail stores had their own apps.

When my 3rd party app (Boost) officially stopped working the other day I officially stopped being a Reddit user in the process. Not doing another hacky workaround to make the app work again. Time to make Lemmy my new social/forum and ditch Reddit except for when I need to do a Google search because Reddit is still a great archive of knowledge.

Those were getting so out of hand.

A good mouse for productivity and gaming will have a good balance of performance and features.

I know it says it in the article already but if anyone is curious you do not have to be a Verizon customer.

Didn't know I needed a Hades style Metal Slug until your comment but now I can't live without it.
