Ah yes, the classic Grand Ship of Sissyphus Problem.

This has stumped philosophers since the dawn of the cretaceous.

May I..... Stand unshaken......

".......thank you..."

I'm not crying YOU'RE CRYING

I got a new laptop last year, and now the old one is sitting next to my laser engraver, probably hoping I will never open it again but it's going to be my dedicated laser laptop now.

At least the programs I'm using on it are all 5ish years old, so it's not straining to keep up with new software.

I can still feel it heat up a lot just being idle, and I'd like to clean it up to improve it's response time.

This comic has made me feel bad for my old laptop...

I've been seeing a lot of comments on lemmy, youtube, various forums and 3d printing sites, of people promoting bambulabs printers lately.

I'm not saying they're definitely paying people or having employees go make comments pushing their products, but I do have a foil hat on standby...

I'm content with my own ender 3 setup with some modifications in an enclosure but for a split second, I actually considered Bambu for my next printer.

They killed my desire completely with all their proprietary shit.

Let me use whatever I want to use with the thing I own, or get completely fucked. Preferably by a cactus, but pineapples are an okay substitute

The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it's going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my "maybe if it's on steep sale" list are on sale.

That's it.

I don't remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it's nice when they do.

My excuse for missing people's birthdays is I DO know the date.... I just don't know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn't matter if I think today is the 10th and it's actually the 15th...

So if I have that much problem, it wouldn't be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.

Indeed.

No worries, I wasn't specific enough in the first reply.

I had put so many hours into trying to sort my bases for NG that I didn't even want to try and start over for NG+.

If I ever DO decide to pick it up again, assuming the save is still compatible I made a separate save file before finishing the game just to be sure.

Who knows, maybe someone will make mods to make it the game we all wanted it to be and I'll give it another go.

I'm assimung someone who goes around to tell people "stop signing petitions" feels smugly superior? That should be pretty self evident.

Or are you thinking I meant "people who sign petitions are the ones who feel smugly superior" because that's the exact opposite.

It lets someone feel smugly superior for not participating in a group activity, and usually that's the hilight of their week.

Star field couple have been a lot of things if people who haven't picked up a controller in decades hadn't decided to try and make it as generic and casual as possible.

And maybe it's just me, but the second I

, I lost all interest in playing the game itself.

They made the content of individual plays not matter to me, so once I did a few speed runs to the finish line I just deleted the game and haven't played it since.

Also i could never figure out their base management system. I was hoping for something like "fallout 4 settlements in space" but all I got was "way less complicated Satisfactory".

I stopped playing about a month after it came out, so there's a chance they fixed some issues that I didn't know were issues, but I still haven't had the desire to try playing it again.

I have "all time fave" which are games I keep reinstalling every so often, then I have "installed" vs "not installed"

The category for favorites is just so when I inevitably go to look for a game to install because I'm bored with what I have, it's at the top when I un-check the "installed" button.

Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning

Man, I used to believe that.

The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.

There's also one where the child is intersex and collapses during their basketball game.

Same.

I imagine it's partly because we "don't do football"

I have a little giggle to myself every time one team beats another and half of my family is pissed and the other half is happy.

A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?

My name is Miles Edward O'Brien, and that's all any online entity will get. Anything beyond that is outside its "need to know"

(never give any online entity your real name unless you would trust them with your house/car keys)

As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos.... I know some of these words/symbols!

The "Ohio? Or is this Ohio?" is a great way to start a fight in both states, depending on how dedicated to American football the listener is.

Ah, insecurity and insane levels of rage. Name a more iconic duo.

I'm just saying, screaming that a gesture is making fun of your penis size is the quickest way to make everyone think you have the smallest dick in the world.
