chicken , to asklemmy in What would you do with a bitcoin windfall?

If you have enough other investments to be comfortable, don’t especially want to change retirement timeline etc. and your wife is fine with it, I’d keep it as a potential hedge against a depression that crashes the value of index funds. I would not split it between whichever small crypto projects can sell you a convincing narrative that they have ‘moon potential’ when your financial circumstances mean you don’t really need that anyway and that is specifically what would open you up to the ‘scamminess’ of crypto.

imagine someone being so self centered that they think everyone has seen every meme theyve seen.

tiredofsametab , to asklemmy in What things would you standardize globally if you were the Supreme Leader? All violations punishable by death.

... What happens if I want to abolish the death penalty?

Planetside. MMOs were a real eye opener back in the early ‘00s.

Honestly, it'd just go to stuff I need for the house. There's a lot of canning stuff I want but I need to import it from the US (pressure canning isn't a thing here in Japan and even water-bath canning is super rare so supplies are sparse and expensive). I'd also get a chainsaw and wood chipper. I would pay someone to do a full tune-up on my tractor and maybe get a mower attachment. Anything else, I'd basically put in the account that I use to pay my mortgage and for any home expenses.

EvacuateSoul OP ,

Are you Japanese or did you move there and live on land?

tiredofsametab ,

I'm from the US and moved to Japan in my 30s. I lived in Tokyo up until a few months ago, but now live in rural northern Japan.

Can I come visit and mow your lawn? Are you on Hokkaido?

Every game with good mods.

beefbaby182 , to mildlyinteresting in These mouth guards are flavored?
@beefbaby182@lemmy.world avatar

When I played flag football in elementary school we were required to wear a mouth guard but we didn’t have these fancy things. So what we did was put pre-sweetened Kool-Aid mix in them and now it’s no wonder so many of us developed bad teeth.

Isn’t it ironic?

I got a ~6k Dogecoin windfall a few years back. (Found the coins I bought in 2014 at <0.1c, sold at 25c)

I think I put like 1k into my more conventional investments, blew like $2k in indulgences (new GPU, collectibles), and set most of the rest aside for the revenuers.

cashmaggot , (edited ) to music in What type of music is predominant on this community?

I used to listen to anything I could sing. But now, it's predominantly instrumentals. And this is going sound brazen and haughty af but I like just about anything as long as it sounds "good" and tends to have some weight to it. But if it's fluff, I want it to really lean into the fluff and own it. I used to be obsessed with music, but it's really become a blip in the sea of my life nowadays =_o!

I listen to Dim when I want to focus.
Orpheus Odyssey when I want to calm down.
Rocc when I want to have a good think.
Pineapples when I want to have a good bad sing =)!
*Ritviz when I want something with singing in the background that doesn't distract me too much.

I also like certain video game soundtracks.

teawrecks , to linux in Why don't libertarian rednecks like Linux?

Because the core of FOSS is from each according to their ability [to write software], to each according to their need [to control their devices]. Which isn’t a libertarian’s favorite mantra.

Nomad , to asklemmy in What is a product you would never recommend?

Don’t ever buy Sony wireless buds. They stop working right around the one year mark. Customer service is horrible.

Ok, but not better in shitposts or politics?

Oh nice, I’m only just getting started and still don’t know what possible, funny how we use the same font XD

SteveTech ,

Oh cool, I believe only 4bit colours are possible, you can use this table from Wikipedia and the escape sequence e[<FG>m replacing<FG> with your chosen foreground colour. Also e[0m to reset everything.

funny how we use the same font XD

Haha yeah! I noticed that too!

I think I just used regex look aheads and look behinds to insert the colours easily.

Edit: Oh you can change that actual TTY font to a bigger one, if the text is too small too.

I_CAST_BEAM_OF_BATS_I_CAST_BOLT_OF_BATS , to asklemmy in Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?

If you’re doing leg days so much that you’re concerned about having an ass that is really just too big then honestly good for you

As a big ball haver yeah you gotta watch out doing pretty much everything I’m assuming you are wearing something to keep them from going all over the damn place

gpstarman OP ,

I’m assuming you are wearing something

We get, for some reason, a huge number of window replacement contractors coming door-to-door. Because I really want to be high-pressure sold $10k worth of low quality glass from the people who are running big enough marhins to put a full page colour ad in the local newspaper every day to go with their 6 hours a day of local TV spots.

I actually said to one “We’re a Linux household. Not interested in Windows” and slammed the door on them.

I now realize cocking a rifle would have made the effect even better.
