  • Is it rude to borrow an unused power outlet without asking?

  • Flashback to when my sister in law had an electric car and felt compelled to plug it in at my place everytime she visited.

  • There are very few modern games I have enjoyed it are even looking forward to. Am I just getting old?

  • There is some confirmation bias, that's likely true. However, I think they're also looking at the old games through rose-tinted goggles. Those games were played when they were literally the best the market had to offer. The mechanics were fresh and the story was new.

    I tried playing some olders games that I loved, and honestly I just couldn't care less about them. As much as they were amazing back then, they're nothing exciting by today's standards.

  • There are very few modern games I have enjoyed it are even looking forward to. Am I just getting old?

  • I'm a wait-and-see guy but the problem is by the time I've noticed I just don't care about the game anymore. As an example: Cyberpunk 2077.

  • For those who grew up without DLCs and microtransactions and games went unchanged after launch. How has the adjustment been to current day monetization and game updates?

  • When I played World of Warcraft, you had no cosmetics. It was the monthly subscription and the odd expansion. Everything in the game was accessible if you were willing to put the time and effort into it. Some content was very long so you really had to pick what you wanted. Some people had special fishing gear, some people had a fancy mount, and others had fancy titles.

    While some of that still remains, I find way too much is accessible with money in most games. There's good and bad. You have games constantly push out new content, refreshing gameplay, and skins to pay for it. On the other hand, you have games that just try to milk their customers. I'd say 99% of mobile games are absolute disgraces.

    The other facet is that I'm older now. I don't have the absolute freedom that comes with being a child. If I can pay an extra dollar to progress a bit quicker, maybe that's better for me? I don't know.

  • A better list of Mastodon servers that have pre-emptively defederated from Threads.net

  • A better list of Mastodon servers that have pre-emptively defederated from Threads.net

  • So what you're saying is we need to open a Threads account and become Nazis?

  • should locking and forced "merger" of communities be allowed?

  • As Moderator to !BestOf, this is my biggest fear. I've been working pretty extensively on this community in my spare time and I'm afraid that if the Moderators of r/BestOf decide to federate, we will lose. I'm not entirely nervous about fragmenting the community so much as just being r/LesserBestOf. By design, this community shouldn't really be fragmentated unless we decide to become BestOf something specific.

  • The thrill of getting a new toaster for your wedding anniversary

  • Not sure what I expected, but yep... that's a toaster.

  • I got diagnosed with a condition in which I can’t stop making airport puns

  • slow flaps

  • My Reddit Account got banned for the dumbest reason.

  • I've been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.

    I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.

  • Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?

  • Giggidy.

  • Can we settle this: how many holes does a straw have?

  • I disagree. A rubber band and a donut do not have an 'in' and 'out'.

  • Feature request: hide server in community names on communities list

  • Honestly, I think it's important that people sub to all the same-subject communities across the Fediverse. However.. the only time it's really important to make the distinction is while creating a post. I hope we get the equivalent of 'multireddits' for all spaces with the same subject.

    Kbin user Rabbithole@kbin.social discusses why Kbin stands a much better chance of staying in the long term compared to other websites like VOAT and Ruqqus.

  • What I think kbin needs to do to survive, and why I think it has a better chance than any other Reddit alternative I've seen yet.

  • Can a rich person be a good person?

  • Can a rich person be a good person?

  • I agree with both of you.

  • Can a rich person be a good person?

  • You're missing the magnitude of scale in your examples.

    I bet you have more food than some people. Are you giving it to them?

    I have a fridge big enough to feed 1 family. Wealthy people have refrigerators the size of a shopping mall. "Not my food!" says the Billionaire.

    You have a roof over your head, other people don’t. Are you giving it to them?

    It's raining. My house is big enough for 1 family. Wealthy people have a roof that is 50 miles square but refuse to share.
