I’ve heard some either Australian or British or both that pronounce H as something close to Hayche. Using a similar accent, and making it a bit hard to hear by mumbling or something, Hayche and age can sound similar.
Hayche is of course made up, but that’s how it feels to me to write it, but I’m no linguist, and I don’t know how to write in pronunciation guides.
In certain accents, age and H sound similar.
I think they technically do, with stuff like Helldivers 2, Spiderman games, etc. I have Helldivers 2, but stopped playing it for a while in protest when they tried to make you use a PlayStation account for it, essentially cutting off a bunch of players in countries PlayStation doesn’t operate in.
For most of my scrolling and feed I use lemmy. I have discord for friends and workmates. Reddit I never comment, scroll, or even login to, but some extremely specific searches will still have some usable info on Reddit, especially for work (IT, mostly non Linux environments) or for very niche subjects.
I don’t use other forms of social media, unless you count random youtube videos. Though I don’t go through that using the algorithm much either, unless it recommends videos from the same 8 or so creators I’ll let it, or it’s short animal videos.
It sorta sounds like she passed away, but could also not be that. I dunno.
Not really a waste if it’s the entertainment you enjoy the most. I’m not sure what you envision as gaming, but there are all types. Some are violence and conflict, but some are stories, some are just cooperative, some are puzzles.
Do you view tv, reading, radio, podcasts as all waste of time? Do you think all entertainment is a waste of time? If so you’re at least ideologically consistent, but I disagree and think humans need entertainment in their lives, for stress release etc. Different people will enjoy different entertainment, and with the caveat of it not harming other people, I don’t think it should be subject to gatekeeping.
Sure. I do have some benefits that help, like a WFH schedule, but even on the work in office days I can do games that don’t require a ton of time, like a few Monster Hunter hunts (3-12 mins a hunt) or a few Warframe missions, but thats usually because I don’t cook those days, don’t exercise,and I have no kids and don’t really do other entertainment except reading, podcasts and some of those I do while gaming. When I read I often don’t game same day.
I used to game more, but had less sleep, so I do less in work from office days. WFH days I get much more time (2-2.5 hours not spent driving/getting ready), plus I can sometimes play less intense games while working, on short breaks, during lunch, etc. I do usually exercise and cook those days, but even then there’s time. I don’t go out often except for the exercise though.
People still will, because lots of people spoil, some like watching streaming etc. When new stuff comes out and I’m not ready to start it, it often also involves stop visiting certain communities, discords, etc.
Now with flavor!
Futurama got me out of a cult by making fun of the moving goal posts of the missing link. I always liked science before that, but probably because the religion was so against it I kinda avoided discussing evolution, and a lot of the rest of at least basic science could be rationalized or twisted to kinda agree.
I personally at the time had no issues with the age of the Earth(was told the 7 days were metaphorical and the incorrect orders wasn’t really discussed), didn’t have any issues believing in dinosaurs (there was iirc some argument that God used them to prepare the earth and intentionally had em die out) and other stuff, plus they tried to use stuff like how much Earth is in a “perfect” distance from the sun.
All that aside, human evolution can’t work even with some of the creation myth being metaphors, because said cult also used the Adam and Eve story to justify why God permits evil. If that is just a metaphor, then the problem of evil became too pronounced.
If you want to know the argument I was sorta ok with at the time, it was basically this: Satan convincing humans to disobey God basically put the challenge that humanity didn’t need God and can rule themselves. While several thousand years of allowing atrocities seems long, in the age of the Earth (and theoretically, God) it isn’t much time at all, and the belief God would resurrect all those deserving meant to me at the time that at max 100 years of suffering would be eventually forgotten as we lived eternally after the resurrection (another belief of the cult).
For me, evolution being more accurate broke me out of that logic error, and Futurama was the delivery method that got through the standard mental defenses.
I don’t use it, but I assume the writes for you was to imitate VS Codes GitHub copilot. While it will suggest code in stuff like scripts, you can absolutely ignore it
It’s still her responsibility to make sure her kid uses the internet responsibly. I don’t have any desire to defend chaterbate (never used it, and don’t know much about it) but there are tons of harmful sites out there, forums, places like 4chan and 8chan which are likely even more damaging than some porn sites.
It isn’t the site’s responsibility to make sure you aren’t lying when you claim you’re over 18, unless you want every site to have all of your personal data.
The lowest my self esteem had ever been was when I was religious. I’d avoid porn and masturbation for months on end, 6-8 etc, but eventually I’d get a little too turned on and “succumb” to it. I remember hearing peers discuss it as something disgusting, and I considered myself too impure to consider having a relationship.
I won’t say my self esteem is amazing now, but I feel much better about myself, and don’t think of myself as some terrible sinner who doesn’t deserve happiness.
Hmm, what’s your definition of quiet quitting? The definition I understand is doing your job as it is described to you, but not doing any of the “going the extra mile” for free, or putting in extra effort beyond what the job description entails.
I’m also curious if those replying to you also have the same or different definitions, since conversations only work if we agree on the definition of terms.
I’m not a programmer; at best I script.
She also sang a song about getting the COVID vaccine iirc.
Rip off were the words I originally wrote, but I didn’t feel like being that mean about it. I don’t fault your reasoning though.
It’s a parody on an xkcd comic.
I don’t vape or smoke (I have used a few THC carts from time to time, but I usually just take half an edible, and the cart is used maybe once a month if that often), but I still will criticize broad generalizations from limited studies, especially not peer reviewed.
I do agree that their findings seem to be more about regulation than vaping itself, and I’m happy I don’t vape, but I’m not going to act like I can just confidently tell every person I know the science has proven their habit is worse than smoking.
