Timecircleline , to books in Looking up words on digital dictionary slows me down, does it get better?

I’m a native English speaker with a fairly robust vocabulary and I still look up words now and then. E-readers make it super easy, and since I get most of my books as e-books from the library it’s easy to learn new words. My recent word is “solicitude”.

Empricorn , (edited )

Hmm, yes. I’m glad you’re enjoying reading. I’m showing care and concern for someone…

EDIT: It was a dumb joke about the definition of “solicitude”.

    Hotdogs are deadly weapons in the hands of those not-prepared. I have def chucked a dog or two. No worries, shitting your pants is embarrassing but you more than likely did it because you were sick. And bodies dgaf about social scenarios if they're unwell.

    cRazi_man , to patientgamers in My (re)discovery of roguelites

    People have mentioned almost all the good options. You’ll find gems within these. I’ve absolutely loved Curse of the Dead Gods, Balatro, FTL, Blazing Beaks, Slay the Spire. I haven’t liked some really well loved recommendations like Children of Morta and Moonlighter.

    Roguelites have been great for me because of a number of factors. Handhelds like the Switch and Steam Deck have really helped. When I had kids, I needed something I could pause when interrupted, and then get straight back into. With little bits of fragmented time, a roguelite is great for getting some progress and experiencing a power curve and good progress (whereas in long story driven single player games, there wouldn’t be much progress to be had in half an hour). Roguelites have been underrated, and I feel like we’ve really had a golden era of roguelites over the past decade.

    rand_alpha19 , to asklemmy in Sorry for the potentially controversial question: is it normal for less attractive people to settle down with partners they don't find physically attractive?

    I can only speak for myself and my observations, but I don't think it's normal. It happens, but it's uncommon. I think it's more normal for people to have similarly attractive partners. Some people are cuter than others even at the same "level."

    Most of my girlfriends have been about the same level of attractiveness. I think I'm probably a 5 or 6 out of 10. If I lost weight and cleaned up I'd probably get to a 7, but that wouldn't change my attraction to my wife. Maybe at that point it would look like I "settled"?

    cheese_greater , (edited )

    This happens on a timeline tho. They may have been variably attractive when they got together and just aged and there’s more incentive for either to maintain the status quo than cut each other loose

    Also eye of the beholder. Nobody is inherently attractive, they just sometimes have more qualities embodied by the culture/society/species/individuals’ conventions of beauty and attractiveness

    rand_alpha19 ,

    I think that assumes that a person's attractiveness to a passive observer is equivalent to their attractiveness to their long-term partner. Someone who loves you probably thinks it's cute when your hair is messy, for example.

    If you fall out of love, yeah, maybe leave your boyfriend. But if you still love him despite his beer gut and bald patch, maybe that's not a bad thing? Also, all relationships happen on a timeline, lol.

    RBWells ,

    Yeah - husband thinks I am, in his words, “smoking hot” but I think he sees with the eyes of love, not a normal critical eye. I’m confident enough to move around in the world without worrying about looks but no way near “smoking hot”, lol.

    It did not fit the criteria to be included in the experiment.

    I used the latest release of each app, but did not include pre-releases. I only included apps that have released an update in the last 6 months

    Not only has Eternity not been updated in almost an entire year, but it is still a pre-release (v0.1.2 at the moment).

    Did you mean pounds per square inch? The foot-pound is a unit of torque. That number would make more sense for the force generated by its wings.

    think of the bird’s claw as a small torque wrench … similarly, when we unscrew the cap of a jar, we notice that our hands have a limited torque capacity.

    Sounds like a skill and/or distro issue

    Aoife ,

    Your OS being the cause of massive problems running common programs should not be something you have to have the skills to fix in the first place. And distro issue? How the hell are you even supposed to pick a distro when if you ask 10 linux users what distro you should use you’ll get 11 different answers? Sure, you could just try them all, but it takes a long time to evaluate an OS, plus just making sure that all the programs you want to run don’t just shit themselves.

    Vivendi ,

    Programs not designed for Linux somehow manage to run on a completely different operating system through something I can only explain as fucking technological black magic, and you’re wondering that it doesn’t work quite like it’s native environment? The fact that this is even possible is incredible

    Go make the game devs release a proper Linux version and we won’t have those issues anymore

    balder1993 ,

    You’re right, but that’s not the point. The other poster said it’s a skill issue. Sure, if the person can’t run commands in a terminal or doesn’t know what’s an executable that’s a skill issue.

    Getting stuck because the game is having weird glitches that show off once in a while and you need classes on computer graphics to debug isn’t skill issues imo. Otherwise are all gonna establish that Linux isn’t for non programmers then?

    Linus_Torvalds ,

    Rather skill than distro
