I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I'm okay not knowing.
As for "karma", do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don't give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don't live for other people's amusement.
As for other people, I can't speak for them, but I haven't seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.
I mean, I've had my knee crushed by a sledgehammer. My left hand has been run through with a knife. I've taken a bullet to the hip through a vehicle door.
Doesn't mean I don't still feel pain when I get a sack slap.
From my understanding of Japanese law (lol super duper limited), it actually is the case specifically in Japan that they could lose their older IPs, however if they are still in use (banjo kazooie just got a new game in the last few years, right?) then THOSE IPs are safe in terms of maintaining ownership.
In my opinion that's just bullshit, but I do understand the reasoning.
However, if an IP has been abandoned, and no new games are planned, it should be completely fair game.
My sweating is genetic, my mother's side of the family is all the same. I sweat at 300 the same as 160.
Working out for health reasons sucks, but if you've got enough reason for it, show that workout who's boss. Spite is as good a reason as any. Staving off diabetes is even better.
My dude, I totally appreciate that you're trying to help, and please don't stop encouraging people to work out because it REALLY DOES WORK for most people, but I spent the better part of a decade doing all kinds of things, from yoga to iron man segments, and not a single thing was enjoyable beyond the small amount of satisfaction of having done something hard and finished it.
I dropped 120lbs, and have stayed relatively the same weight since 2015, even with all the other stuff.
So I'm sure I learned more healthy habits, hence the weight being kept off, and I don't regret a second of it, I have no desire to try again.
The only working out now is biking for enjoyment with my wife. And also when she feels the desire to go to the gym, I go with her.
I never got any "good feelings" from my healthy times. Working out was tiring and a chore. No matter how I worked out, with whom, where, for how long.... No "workout buzz"
I got down to a 7 minute mile. Not amazing or difficult by any stretch, but not one getting there did I ever experience "the runner's high"
Eating well gave me slightly more energy, but not enough to justify the extra cost and time to prepare.
I literally am not capable of "good sleep" without medication, and I can't even afford the medications anymore.
I'll just keep eating whatever I want, only exercising when someone asks me to, and trying to get as much sleep as possible before the sun rises until I hit my (definitely early) grave.
So like... Are people thinking this is serious, and not recognizing the fact that it's pointing out ridiculous arguments that some Bad-faith argumentatives like to make?
I've heard plenty of people in all seriousness say women don't understand the pain of getting hit in the balls, but like... Nobody sane and rational actually believes that.
If you really DO think women, who have ENTIRE HUMANS SHOCED OUT OF THEIR VAGINA, can't understand pain? Yes, getting hit in the balls hurts. I've been hit more times than I care to remember.
If anyone really DOES think women don't get that kind of searing pain, look up "Childbirth perineal tear" and promptly lose all confidence in your argument.
Truth is denied those who seek it with both eyes closed.
