Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

As much as buying and eating a whole chocolate cake is 100% a bad idea for your health, doing it once is unlikely to have any noticable impact beyond making sure you have horrible shits for a day or so.

Doing it (or similar) habitually will obviously drastically increase your chances of heart attacks and other issues though of course.

But if you want to reward your inner 8 year old every once in a while I say do it, too many people make themselves permanently unhappy with dieting. The (much easier said than done) trick is very well known, and it's simple moderation.

Let me just feed my tamagotchi quickly and then I'm in.

Well fuck you then.

Yes it was, good call. I have such a clear image of ace ventura saying it in my head but that's clearly fabricated.

Easy mistake to make given Jim Carrey just plays Jim Carrey in both roles I guess.

I feel like ace ventura taught a whole generation how to spell beautiful right every time.

Jim Carrey is a treasure.

Agree with everything you've written. Linux users are frequently the worst thing about it, I'm sure lots are reasonable but seeing (the vocal part of) the community really puts me off becoming a part of it.

Nice to see that my experience isn't reflective of all users though, thanks mate :)

The ship has sailed there. Microsoft aren't going anywhere soon and in the long run they will continue to win.

There are plenty of good causes which I hypocritically agree with and don't put into practise, eating meat is bad for me and the planet but I'll still enjoy a steak without feeling like a villain believe it or not.

Blaming someone for choosing Microsoft is a dick move, Linux doesn't work for everyone (I.e. non tech people) so what should they (myself included) be doing instead in your opinion?

The whole system needs to fail before a company like Microsoft loses, if that happens great. But until then me want play new games, me not know Linux tech, me use bad guy company to enjoy me time. Most importantly, me don't feel bad for doing it.

Seriously though, I pick my battles and try to not be evil while doing so. Microsoft selling an extra copy of windows once every 10 or 15 years won't turn them into our all powerful overlords and it's the easiest way for me to enjoy my free time, and on balance I'm fine with that.

My lack of understanding of your sentence is exactly why I'll never bother with Linux. It may be amazing and triple my PCs speed but I simply don't have time (or motivation) to learn the vocabulary, let alone how things actually work.

Windows may be worse than Linux, but I can install it and be playing any game I want within a few hours with no research. I just cba with anything that I have to think about for more than 2seconds when I want to use my PC, it exists for me to kill time (and occasionally various admin tasks) and I don't have any need to complicate life further by using Linux and having to keep up with the latest ssh or whatever you're talking about.

I get that people exist who have no interest in actually watching, but if you're on social media (lemmy included) it seems impossible to have actually not heard of these.

Clearly I'm wrong though, it just really surprised me.

Yeah you're not wrong, doesn't mean I don't miss when there was less to life sometimes though.

No worries. Another show that sprang to mind which isn't in this list is the legend of vox machina.

It's an amazon prime series based on critical role and follows the first campaign relatively faithfully (so far). It came to mind because it's an animation and the setting and plots are well thought out. Characters have been played by the voice actors for literally hundreds of hours before the show was even conceived so whilst there are clichés aplenty, the characters are fully formed and fleshed out from the start. I'm biased because I was addicted to CR since the early days but the show really stands up on its own in my opinion.

It sounds corny as fuck but it's one that was 100% made with love and if you like adult cartoons I really recommend it.
