  • Is self empathy distinct from self pity?

    Absolutely.

    Pity is when I wallow in how unfair everything is to me.

    Empathy is when I realize I genuinely got dealt a shit hand, then give myself some time to recover, and then get on with life.

  • Pay your IT staff, folks.

  • so what's the fucking point?

    I've heard that covering up abhorrent crimes takes special amounts of money.

    But maybe they'll release the Epstein files any day now to prove that rumor wrong, and we can all relax.

  • Did you try being born ultra rich? I've heard it helps. I wish someone told me sooner.

  • I don't fit into any of these....yet

    Can I interest you in Linux Mint, today?

    I am joking.

    Unless you want to try Linux, in which case let me (or any of us) know....

  • Imagine what she can accomplish in an echo chamber, though.

  • 11+ hours gaming

    Just so you know, many of us would call 11+ daily hours gaming an addiction.

    I would lose so much that I care about if I played that many hours.

  • this is a premium device

    Paired with...

    Doesn't support SteamOS

    Hmm....

    Because buyers of premium devices famously have time to screw around with installers and OSes that aren't their first choice...

    I assume the logic is "every game runs on Windows", but I feel like they understimated how sticky SteamOS is for folks who have tried it.

    I experience so much more playing, and less fucking around, on my SteamDeck, than I did on my Windows gaming PC.

  • What language is the CLI written in?

    Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it's not a big deal for the people asking.

    I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.

  • You're allowed to need some space. You may feel better if you say so, rather than ghosting.

    Something like:

    "Sorry I've been ignoring our friendship, I've needed some space. I want to still be your friend, long term, in honor of what we've shared. I might still be quiet for awhile, but I'm okay and I appreciate you."

    Friendships can go quiet for years and still be friendships, if both people don't mind.

  • @retrolemmy username...hm....

  • This seems like a job for a WordPress blog or GitHub pages.

  • I'll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.

  • I'll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.

  • This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:

    If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.

    Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.

    1. what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?

    Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.

    What about stocks?

    Better sell some.

    Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?

    Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.

    But - when I'm global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.

  • Yes. To be fair, free is too high of a price to add an EA game to my Steam collection, to the distaste goes in both directions in some cases.

  • For me, the item from Amazon is sometimes something completely unrelated to what I ordered...

    Avoiding Amazon has spoiled me, lately.

  • He does look like he's going to give himself a heart attack.
