Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??English
8·25 days agoAt that age, I was trying my hardest to figure out what I’m doing, to be together like the older adults.
I’m 39, I don’t have a clue what I’m doing and I’m more together than most of my coworkers, many who are older than me.
We’re all just trying to figure it out, so when you look up and think you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re with everyone. And if you know someone who says they have everything together and don’t have any issues, be wary as they likely have a lot of blind spots to their life.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the weirdest hobby you've heard of?English
5·25 days agoEVE is one of those games that early on it’s tutorial was essentially ‘Here’s a spaceship, go fuck yourself.’ When they say you can do whatever the hell you want, it’s really not joking. There are people who live in JITA (most populace system) purely doing scams, or running markets. You have people who go into piracy or try to build massive empires.
I knew a guy who his entire playing of the game was making ammo to sell. There was a corp who’s entire thing was doing PVP but with a bend to “Customer service”, as in “Here is your complimentary missile delivery.” and after blowing you up sending you a request to fill a survey on how the customer service was.
So it’s a game that really is what you put in it. The reason I had to quit is it’s a massive time sink. It’s definitely not a game of “Oh, I’ve got about 30 minutes, let me hop on.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the weirdest hobby you've heard of?English
28·26 days agoThis is EVE we’re talking about. This is honestly one of the more benign if not weird habits.
This is the game where to join a corp you nearly needed a resume so people could make sure you weren’t a spy because months to years infiltration processes happen in this game. Or just rampant piracy.

80·26 days agoIn Eve Online, when a capsule was destroyed, a frozen corpse was left behind.
I knew someone who would go around collecting corpses. A battle is going, he’d be out there scooping them up. He’s running a hauler, and this was the day that when your ship got destroyed, every bit of loot went out in individual units, so when a pirate would try to shake him down he’d respond with “If you blow me up, you’ll crash back to desktop.”
That was how he played the game, gathering corpses.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Was the fall of Rome this stupid?English
11·26 days agoI mean… I’m not going to argue the fall of the US isn’t stupider than the fall of Rome…
But I will argue the fall of the US started back when Reconstruction was stopped. Just took a while for the confederates to win.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•'I've Never Seen Anything Like It': Trump Policies Leave US Farmers in Dire StraitsEnglish
6·2 months agoI’ve always spoke out about corporations. I hate big corps. I have always wanted to get big corps out of running farms.
Fuck it! Hey Tyson, hurry up and buy up every fucking meat farm out there. Bill Gates, buy up whatever is left! Make these fuckers that inherited their pappa’s farms have to work the land after selling it. I don’t fucking care about them anymore.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about the largest labor uprising in history: The Battle of Blair Mountain, when the US military was deployed against 10,000 WV coal minersEnglish
13·2 months agoOh boy, Joe Rogan is just the newest flavor of awful. Bill O’Rielly started the whole current entertainment news by being a comedian who suddenly started being a right wing mouthpiece and any time he got called out on his shit it was “For entertainment purposes only” and he was on about the anti-left wing movements about coastal elites and unions taking workers wages.
But then the right wing even to then was building to massive corporations that donated to them, groups like the biggest anti-union propaganda machine in the world, WalMart. Notice that during the Reagan era they had “Trickle Down Economics” to fool people into thinking if the wealthy were just wealthier, then they too could be wealthier.
And the wars between groups have been speared on by the US since post civil war. Can’t have former slaves having jobs, that’d take from the whites. Can’t have people from overseas taking railroad jobs, that takes jobs from Americans. The big slaveowners of the American South were not the majority, so why did so many people fight for that confederacy? Because they were convinced by those wealthy that if slavery went away, there would go the economy… especially as so many people’s jobs were in existence to the slavery machine.
Joe Rogan wasn’t some new bogeyman who figured out how to overthrow the world. The rich has been finding ways to make poor people fight each other instead of them as a tale as old as time.

I know this is a copypasta but this part… Koalas are something that at a distance looks cute. But I don’t know what it is about them, but the more you look at them, the more… “That doesn’t look right” comes in into a creepy cryptid.
