Zeusz13 , to games in Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

I like both, but from this perspective my favourite so far has been BSG: Deadlock, with its simultanious turns. It lets you think and skips the gimicks of normal turn-based games.

Even though he quit for 2 decades, his days of heavy smoking still got him in the end. Lung cancer got him in his 60s.

The Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine? Nice.

I’ve never listened, but I’m in the McElroy orbit already so maybe I ought to give it a shot.

That’s the one! I say give it a try. Their episode on rabies and syphilis were pretty good imo

sunzu , 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 am mid looking person who has every high "standards" but can't score anybody that's hot.

Is you settleing or did you just realize how the market works.

WTF up with all these avg people think they better than other avg people. Grow the fuck up

rand_alpha19 , to asklemmy in Would you wear a body cam at work?

If I got paid double to wear one, sure. Other than that, no.

StaySquared , to asklemmy in Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?

Don’t drink alcohol.

Don’t smoke tobacco products.

If she has a tattoo, she might have some baggage (mental/emotional).

If she flinches when you reach for her cell phone, you might as well break up.

Start going to the gym. If you already are, dedicate some years into powerlifting, if you started off with powerlifting, dedicate some years into bodybuilding training.

Don’t depend on pharmaceutical drugs.

If your woman gets pregnant and has the child, get DNA tested to confirm that is your child.

Make sure to have a lawyer write up a prenuptial agreement before marriage.

If she doesn’t have a father in her life, that’s a potential red flag.

Be a man, meet with her father and get his approval before dating her. If she doesn’t care for her father’s approval, she has daddy issues. That’s a red flag.

Do not focus on spending money to make you happy. Focus on saving and investing, play the long game.

Pay attention to the food you eat. Do some research about the brands of the foods, the ingredients used etc…

breadsmasher , to retrogaming in Does anyone know of a Linux-based or playable via emulator/wine of the NES Rygar?
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

No idea if rom links are allowed; however, very easy to find online if you search for the game name and rom.

Emulator wise, www.retroarch.com is very good, and cross platform. I think save states are compatible across platforms wherever retroarch is supported

AndrewZabar OP ,

Very cool, thanks!!

Hikermick , to showerthoughts in Conservative Pundits, money didn't make them happy so they convince people who do need money that it wouldn't make them happy either

No they convince people without money that it’s THOSE people’s fault that they don’t have money. It’s to take pressure off the people that HAVE all the money

CoffeeJunkie , to asklemmy in people who deliver or install things to people 's houses. what kind of odd things have you seen?

I have seen just lots of trash, but honestly I’m not one to talk… I’ve seen house numbers hidden from view by decorations, often wreaths. Basically: Merry Christmas! Go fuck yourself.

There was one lady that had probably a hundred+ boxes on her front porch, stuff gets ordered & apparently never taken in. Old, molded boxes. You just add to the pile & walk away.

POTOOOOOOOO OP ,

Not sure why, but I find that the abandoned boxes are more disturbing than the skeleton comment.

CanadaPlus ,

It reminds me of stories about people who are so addicted to slot machines, they don’t even check for payouts anymore. They just feed money into several of them continuously for the little dopamine rush.

CanadaPlus , (edited )

And good ol’ houses with no numbers displayed, that look like they may or may not be an outbuilding.

Krejall , 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?

‘Normal’ isn’t the most useful word for describing human interactions. It’s always going to be biased by your culture, upbringing and life experience.

A lot of people here are saying that people become more attractive as you get close to them, and I’m sure that’s true–for them. Just to offer an alternative perspective, I find people less physically attractive the better I know them. I still love them and enjoy their company, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything, but I just don’t really want to be physically intimate with them past a certain point. I’m very independent and probably just not cut out for that kind of long-term relationship, but I’m also very open about it when talking to potential romantic partners. I don’t want them putting all their eggs in one basket, especially when that basket is full of holes.

TheBigBrother , (edited ) 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?

Women usually do that for social status, I mean, for women usually if there is money(specifically what money involves not exactly money as it) they don’t care about beauty.

As a man at least for me you need to learn to appreciate women beyond their beauty, you need to experience going out with ugly women as part of knowing about women. The 98% of women function exactly the same way if you get used to go out with ugly women you will learn to go out with beautiful women.

Think of beauty like something what will not last forever, the main point in women isn’t their beauty but other characteristics like support and followship

Beauty isn’t everything what matters in a relationship, there are other things what each role do which compliment each other.

Edit: I’m getting downvoted and maybe to oblivion because evidently there are people who know I’m saying the truth but they don’t like someone to do that.

xmunk ,

Some women do it for social status, absolutely - some men do too. Others do it for money, or fame, or because they have a nice house…

That is certainly not the norm and your suggestion that it is the norm and it is specifically for women is why you’re being downvoted (at least, IMO).

I actually agree with a portion of the rest of your comment that beauty isn’t that important… physical attraction is one facet of attraction and I’d argue it isn’t even a particularly major one.

TheBigBrother ,

I think you’re right, it may sound a bit strange from that point of view, I forgot to mention that 98% of men also function the same, although I must clarify that I am referring to a generality and not to a totality, meaning that there are exceptions.

eestileib , to science_memes in Boopable

They get their fresh water from rain pools that, being less dense than seawater, float on the surface for a while.

That’s metal as shit imo.

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.

I don’t see why not.

PlzGivHugs , to games in Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

I like both, but as others have said, the apm focus in RTS games really puts a cap on my enjoyment of the genre. In theory, I should love the genre, and I usually like the single player Campaigns or skirmishes against bots, but as soon as apm becomes a significant factor, I lose interest. Maybe I should learn some with a pause function, so I can see how I feel about those.
