Harry Haller’s Records: For Madmen Only

Feathercrown , in Shortest license agreement ever.

“You will now give me $40,000”

Agree

Randomocity ,

This is from the perspective of the company so you’d be 40k in the hole. You’d want something like “Upon agreement to the terms the licensee will receive forty thousand US dollars ($40,000) within ninety (90) from the licensor. There will be a penalty of one thousand US dollars ($1,000) for every day after that period if not paid.”

Baku ,

90 whats?

Sarcasmo220 ,

You get to pick. 90 seconds, 90 minutes, 90 hours, 90 days, 90 weeks, 90 months, 90 years, 90 rotations around the Milky Way Galaxy, 90 cycles of the Big Crunch/Big Bang, 90 iterations of God, 90 iterations of whatever made God, etc…

I spend all that time trying to be precise and a whole word.

Aye it’s the humanity problem.

Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of “group”.

Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.

And for trying to pull the group along, as futile as it may be.

I think it’s somebody trying to be passive, aggressive, but the fact that I have to say, I think proves the level of thought that went into it.

The number of people not from the US is actually surprisingly large.

I’m not from the US, correct, and am very happy with my ad blockers, correct. I’m still hoping I can make sense of this post eventually

Degoogled phone

is it a pixel? or is this also somehow possible with other phones?

Marduk73 ,
@Marduk73@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ironically, Google Pixels are great for degoogling. Yeah this is a Pixel 7. Also did this to a Pixel 4A5G.

Mine has CalyxOS installed, but you can also try Graphene or Lineage. Each choice will let you know the supported phones on their site.

stebo02 ,
@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

yeah so I’m going to need a new phone in the near future and was considering a degooglable one but it feels conflicting to buy one from google

I hear that. Felt the same.

I guess they don’t celebrate Truck Month or the Sign Then Drive event? Losers!

I prefer Trarch to Trucktober.

Okay I get that there are a lot of car sales seasons or something but I don’t get the relationship between the heterosexuality and Kia. Does Kia have a reputation for being super heterosexual or something? Or against lgbt/pride movement?

FeelThePower ,
@FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

instead of pride month, it’s the kia summer sales event. I guess it’s supposed to be a joke implying it’s the only thing straight people have to celebrate this month.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

No it doesn’t. Kia just has a sales event that overlaps with gay month.

Aurenkin , in I'm still worthy

Has anyone else had the experience of going back to a game you haven’t played in a long time and some lower level part of your brain just remembers all the controls? Like when you try and remember which key does what, you can’t, but then you start playing and your brain just does the thing.

pacmondo ,

Yes, absolutely. My dad recently purchased the same model of electric guitar he had as a teenager and he felt the same way about it.

takeheart ,

I’m the opposite of this picture. It’s like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.

Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.

NakariLexfortaine ,

I call it “The Muscle Zen”. You just gotta relax, trust yourself, your fingers know what to do.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance is one for me. When I first fire up a playthrough, I’ll feel rusty as hell, but once that music starts kicking my brain, it’s like night and day.

dubyakay ,

Now here’s another funky bit. Sometimes taking a break from a game and coming back to it weeks, months or even years later will make it feel like you’ve never been better before. And the numbers or scores might validate it.

I’ve personally experienced this with:

  • QuakeWorld in the early 2000s, where my shaft hitscan rate went from low 20s to mid 30s and my movement control got even more fluid. Factor here might have been a PC upgrade
  • WoW around 2008 -> 2010 where I went from struggling in arena to hit the lowest rank to duelist. Factor here might have been my aging reflexes starting to compensate more strategy instead
  • Enter the Gungeon from 2013 -> 2015 where I was struggling to get past the first few biomes to maxing out the whole game and attempting streaks with 9 curse and turbo on. This definitely came after watching a few streamers trying to do speed runs and their movement and situational awareness of the mob patterns inspired me.

I’ve also revisited these games since, again, and definitely only gotten worse at them.

hemko ,

I have a bad habit of resubbing to wow every couple years for a bit, and yes I feel like Theoden king. My fingers start to remember their strength as soon as I lay my hands on the keyboard, it feels like returning to home. In no time we’re back spreading a little plague in raids, arena and bgs

newbeni ,

Tetris, I have to have the original controllers though.

This is true of other skills too. Sometimes I can remember how to do things only when I stop thinking

no_comment OP ,
BmeBenji , in The Smartest Zionist

Obviously the genocide the government of Israel is committing right now is horrific, but this begs the question: does any colonially-established and colonizer-ruled country have the right to exist? Like the USA? Canada? Australia?

nondescripthandle ,

The US probably does not have the right to exist, not the way it was taken. Rectifying that today is an issue of listening to the people who were here first. The Land Back movement is how the country begins reconciling. Israels future, like The USs future should be paved with large amounts of input from the people who were there before the colonizers were.

I dont think the US has the right to exist but I also know Land Back doesn’t simply remove the US from existence and the descendents of colonizers aren’t going to be exiled. In much this same way I actually agree that Israel doesn’t have the right to exist. It doesn’t mean I inherently want them gone, it simply means they had no right to take their nation the way they did and they should be listening to the Palestinians, not warring against them. Saying things like Israel does have the right to exist minimizes things like the Nakba and many other horrific acts. These are not acceptable ways to establish countries in modern times, and the world agrees or no one would be trying to stop Russia right now.

dessalines ,

They don’t. The genocide and theft of land of their indigenous populations mostly happened less than 150 years ago. That land should be returned to indigenous sovereignty.

How that decolonization should proceed is a question not for the colonizers or their descendents to answer, but the indigenous tribes themselves.

Confidant6198 OP ,

Glad you ask. They don’t.
