    Everyone talks like it's the dock workers going on strike that's the issue and not the corporations refusing to pay more.

    Businesses make decisions to have a strike by refusing to listen to their hundreds or thousands of workers.

    I can't stand the competitiveness now. Like, I know I suck and I'll never be good because quick reactions aren't my jam.

    I still want to play every now and then, but since I play infrequently I really need something with a very simple mechanic. 30 characters to pick from is overwhelming and I can't learn how to level up and pick a character build during the 10 minute matches and I'm not going to study builds before I play games casually. And I feel bad when I'm trying to learn and I sink the team. Like who wants to be the one that causes a dozen other people to not have fun or get frustrated. Give me counterstrike. You get good guys or bad guys. Then a handful of guns in very specific categories.

    I really like RPGs where I can take my time and learn the game. Where mechanics arent too crazy and where there is only one currency in the game.

    I feel like it's become too complicated to pick up some games now.

    You've got normal gold, then some weird premium gold that you get at a much slower rate. And somehow a third currency that you can only buy.

    There are hundreds of build paths, and somehow within the first 5 levels before you even know the game or whats good you have to make a decision and lock yourself out of half of them.

    Each character has a gimmicky different way to level up or learn moves.

    Then there are mini games, where you have to collect things or others where you now need to level up in a whole different way. And then lock out entire portions of the main game unless you spend a dozen hours playing a mini game that really isn't that fun.

    But I digress, I really like single player that at this point are pretty easy to get into and start having fun or experience the story right away.

    Was maybe 20 years ago. People said it wasn't true. But I swear to you.

    I was also named person of the year. Maybe 20 years. Maybe 19. Possibly 18. But maybe 20. Who knows. That's the thing. Nobody knows. They say "you" weren't person of the year. But that's a lie.

    So just casually passing on the conspiracy that Biden isn't actually acting as president? That someone is playing him like a puppet?

    One side is calling for literal fascist ideologies and polices. Imprisoning, deporting, and killing whomever they declare are undesirable.

    The other is calling for abortion rights, trans rights, gay rights. Actively working to make life better for all Americans, and not just themselves.

    The final purpose is to be happy with someone. With or without kids.

    There is no true underlying purpose to a relationship. There are adventures to share together if you are both into them. But there doesn't need to be some ulterior goal. Dating is just enjoying and wanting to spend time together.

    Did you have another Lemmy account on leminal.space? If you did and are the same person I'm thinking of. You spend A LOT of time thinking and talking about relationships. And that account always came across like they wanted a relationship but didn't want to put in any work to get one or work on themselves. They always spoke as if there was no hope and already prejudged women as if they never would like them.

    This was a big deal when I started dating my current girlfriend. On quite a few occasions when planning dates or things for us to do with her daughter, I would bring up her daughter and think of her first before I thought of myself or my girlfriend. Or if my girlfriend would mention something about her daughter, I would always encourage her to take care of her daughter first and we could work out dates around her.

    I knew that her daughter was her first priority, and I never asked her to put me before her daughter. Not once. It's almost 3 years later, they moved in with me. And I'm loving the life together.

    Residential listings were "white pages" and businesses were "yellow pages."

    Yes, they were big, printed on very thin paper, with small typeface.

    Ammo might be a pain in the ass. But standing atop a tall wall with a pike stabbing down into skulls would probably work well.

    Plus a good fire pit to burn the bodies so other diseases don't crop up.

    I've kind of wondered if you could make a sustainable fire using only zombie bodies. They could be an interesting source of fuel.

    It's a bit chicken and the egg. It's a super popular handgun so therefore the accessories get made for it.

    If another gun was as popular, you'd likely see the people who made this accessory make one for that gun instead.

    I believe they are integrated into the handle and trigger. It's not a switch that you turn on and off, just if you hold the gun in the proper way your are pressing in the safeties.

    I've made a few things. One, Mickey shaped cabinet hardware I put up for free because I didn't want to deal with Disney. Though I might put the raw print up on Etsy or something just because.

    Another is a frame to turn a Disney name tag into an ornament. I'm selling the completed product rather than releasing the design because I wanted to really offer it to people who didn't have 3d printers and wanted to ensure that it met my standards. And I didn't want competition. That said, it takes quite a lot of time to print, prep, sand, and paint. I spend a couple hours in finishing each and sell it at a price that... Totally doesn't make it worth it.

    Discount is based on competitors value. Lol, so no real discount, and probably no actual competitor to even price check against.

  • I'm planning on getting a dog soon and would love some tips and tricks. My tip is that when you take your dog for a walk, before crossing any street make them sit and wait for you to tell them to cross. It helped when my dog got out a few times he would only walk around the block and never cross streets or run into traffic.
