I know I failed out of my first year of college simply because all through school I was told I was so smart. So I got to college and was bitch slapped by what actual work looked like. Luckily I turned it around. However I had someone who was sort of my counter part who was in the same advanced classes as me, same thing happened and he works at a gas station in the middle of nowhere now. You want to think your kids are special and want to encourage them, but no.

We need to teach that special is earned, not a given.

As both an instance admin and a mod of a few communities, I can already tell you those are just expectations of any community already. That’s not new, that’s already the baseline. You have to find something even better than that.

Good. Americana think they’re so much different from everyone else and we’re literally not. I hold a form belief that everyone just wants to go to work, get off work, they’d rather get a pizza for dinner but they’re going to try to eat something better, are looking forward to their next day off, and when it comes they’re going to go to their target equivalent for a boring errands run. I think about 90% of the people are in this category, just average working people, and that makes me feel a little more connected with them.

Oh, MyCoolCommunity would require me to pay because it’s on instanceA? Fuck that, hey everyone, come join MyCoolCommunity on instanceB!

That America was the greatest country in the world. And truly, not trying to be political, but honestly the propaganda in Midwest America was real. I didn’t know anything about other countries - except for we were better. We figured it out, we built the best system ever and everyone else wanted to be like us.

Now those are the people I see overseas who are about to get punched in a pub.

Oceans 11, I can watch that when I’m happy, sad, sick, or just on in the background. The perfect heist movie

People believed they are owed sex rather than it being a mutual thing.

Don’t forget endless AI generated images that morons just eat up

oh my god, what a snowflake mod. Not even a real reason, I have banned people from my instance. Reason? Racism. Homophobia. Transphobia. Never “republican”.

What’s weird is I have definitely been very liberal over there, I am somewhat active in [email protected] and have never seen anything. Do the admins just have one snowflake mod?

Same. I forget what I was reading/watching, but it’s a shame that they build these gorgeous worlds just to put an assassin’s creed game into. Odyseey and Valhalla were both gorgeous, then they fill it with fetch quests and tedium. I don’t understand why they don’t just build worlds, and let smaller studios fill them out. They could do a base assassin’s creed, but think of how many other stories could have been told with the sheer size of Odyssey

Definitely not “Crowdstrike tarnished their brand so much because no one understands what kernel level is that no one is going to get kernel level access”

Assassin’s creed Valhalla.

I had done the same thing for about 60 hours, and when I finally thought I was done with the monotony I was transported to 2 new locations that required me to do around and do boring fetch quests. I just never went back to it, and that was… 2 years ago? Still installed, just don’t care.

Story was fine but there was so much boredom between actual story that what was the point.

That’s what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3

I’m actually flattered that I have this… reputation on Lemmy lol.

Personally, I don’t care if celebrities come and join, even Taylor. Honestly that’s one of the reasons I’m okay with threads starting to federate, I see celebrities joining there and then we can sub from our instances. Best of both worlds imo.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal, we’ll either know they’re legit or not. Care to weigh in @[email protected] ?

One good thing IMO about threads federating, that we get the celebrities, we know they’re verified, but I don’t have to join corpo social media.

Thanks l, that all makes sense. I’ll keep an eye out

I have a manual process for admitting people, do I need to do anything if I know exactly who is on my instance, or do I need to do anything to protect my instance from other bad acting instances (beyond defederating, which I do when I notice a lot of spam). Any queries you recommend?

Personally, I am playing Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on easy. They come from an era where if you aren’t suffering through it then you must really suck. Personally, I don’t have time to fight the same boss for an hour only to die when he gets down to the last 5% and start over again, I only get a few hours after work to game. However, the story is honestly pretty good, and I recommend them - if you play on easy.

The economy was always bots buying from other bots…
