Yeah when one of those fuckers is driving behind me, I’ll just decelerate a mph every couple of seconds. Doesn’t usually take more than about 5 until they get annoyed enough to actually pass.

sigh

Might as well watch another movie.

…

…

…as though any of us could afford to go to the cinema once, let alone a second time just for shits and giggles.

Aw fuck. I didn’t anticipate this leading to actual responsibility.

Well, what’s done is done: I’ll fill this role to the best of my ability.

OH C’MON MAN!

…Drax = protein, nebula = minerals, groot = fiber.

That’s the point - the christian god is presented as all powerful, all knowing, and all good. The existence of evil in our universe shows that to be a lie.

Did god not have the power to give us free will without also giving us evil?

• Had the power but opted not to: god is himself some part evil

• Didn’t have the power, did the best he could with the tools he had: god is not omnipotent.

Pick one.

While I enjoy emulation, it is kinda OT for this list.

Kinda, but only kinda. I wouldn’t put any how-to guides or anything here, but letting folks know that it’s an option is worth posting.

Also, is it me or the two links in your comment are broken? It seems like they both miss an “h” in “https”.

Weird. They both worked for me; I changed them to the ! links - see if that works any better. …actually iirc that makes it better for mobile users anyway.

This only kinda meets the criteria since emulators are available on the play store, though roms will have to be sourced elsewhere, but… 100% roms and emulators. The N64 content and earlier emulate really well on a smartphone, especially when paired with a bluetooth controller.

IIRC ever version (different language releases, etc) of every game for Nintendo consoles from when they first became a company through all of the N64 content is a grand total of like 20bg: each individual game is tiny, so you can easily fit all your favorites on your phone.

I’m not sure what the latest and greatest emulators are today, but when I dabbled into this stuff last time, there were free, no bullshit options.

Quick search reveals a couple communities for it here on Lemmy:

!emulation@lemmy.ml

!emulationonandroid@lemmy.ml

I’d hit the side bars of those communities and go from there.

Note: downloading roms you don’t own the license to is piracy; and even if you do own the license, your ISP won’t know that, so I’d recommend practicing some basic internet safety like using a VPN. Also, ad blockers are an ABSOLUTE MUST on any website that provides or directs you to roms, otherwise you’ll have like 20 links on your page that all say “Download!” that will lead you to some flavor of shitware.

But yeah, if you want games without all the modern bullshit in them like ads and lootcrate gambling, etc, then what better option than games that were made before all that cancer existed?!

Quick! Someone crosspost this to !memes@lemmy.world

The trick is to not remove them.

What they’re incapable of is recognizing that ‘the badies’ (Nazis) is something they should avoid.

The problem isn’t that they don’t know they’re evil, it’s that they fucking love it.

Naw our brains do that shit all the time - you don’t hear someone quite right, and instead of recognizing that you didn’t get the info, your noggin just fills in the blanks on its own. She very well may have clearly heard “Let’s go Brandon!”

Perception is reality.

Maybe he just had a weird fetish?

I think what he meant was we need positive change. Burning our own country down is definitely change, but… well, I guess it’s what the (fucking traitorous) voters wanted, so… buckle up.

There was Antz… I don’t remember much from it, but iirc it was the same kind of theme?

The last movie I saw in theaters was Interstellar… just pulled up the release date, and holy shit, it’s been a solid decade.

…not really feeling the urge to change that either. All I remember theaters being is a sticky fucking mess where a bag of skittles and a drink will cost you like 5% of your net worth; from there you pack into these disgusting seats, invariably right behind some 6’11" 400lb dude in a fucking cowboy hat and, surrounded on all sides by people who have never heard of the concept of shutting the fuck up for 90 mins…

Pick one.

The best move was from the officer who shot one of those terrorists. It’s been nothing but kid gloves prior or since.

The metric that’d be the most useful for the average lay-idiot like me would time estimates for multiple usage cases. Like, "this phone has a 50-30-4 battery, meaning:

If you don’t have a bunch of shit running in the background or things like Bluetooth turned on, you just take it out of your pocket occasionally, send a text, then turn the screen off before repeating in a few hours: 50 hours,

If you have a “normal” amount of activity for screen time and other battery-consuming activities: 30 hours,

If we turn on EVERYTHING - screen at max brightness, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, location, flashlight, and play the speakers at max volume while recording a video, it’ll go from 100% to dead in 4 hours.
