Ah, thank you. That makes more sense.

And also is still writing books! I think it came before Jam, but Mogworld is a great one.
An interesting but largely unrelated aside: he’s also the one who climbed the term “PC Master Race,” apparently.
You’re fortunate. I had a friend who was similar, but rather than verbal, his jokes generally involved intentionally acting in a way he knew you found annoying. I once told him that being annoying was, in fact, annoying and not amusing. He said “sorry I upset you. I’ll probably keep doing it though.” I said that that wasn’t what sorry meant … He didn’t respond and did, indeed, keep doing it.
He and I have both grown up a lot since then. I don’t see him often, but I don’t think he’s intentionally annoying anymore.
Insomniac like the video game company? Are they problematic? Or am I misunderstanding?
What makes Rivian objectionable? I’m not arguing - I’m genuinely ignorant of any issue, at least morally or politically, with them.
Are you sure? Maybe you should reconsider.
For reference, I’m not the original commenter, I was just answering the follow-up query.
Happy to be of service!
I don’t really like saying “the Lemmy equivalent of Reddit X,” but accurate or not, it is the easiest way to convey the concept to an erstwhile redditor. If they fit in here, they’ll stick around and learn the terms and community. If not, they haven’t lost anything.
(I’m very much not a Fediverse authority or expert in any way. I just occasionally know things and have a burning desire to help when I can.)
Community. The Lemmy equivalent of subreddit.
That’s an old reference from the dark place, friend.
Apparently, Zach Wienersmith did this.
Though I don’t advocate the practice, I have occasionally seen drivers who cleared only the area immediately in front of the driver. That’s still bad, but not quite as much so as driving with a fully iced-over windshield.
edit: oh, I see now that OP edited the post to clarify this was not the case.
You’re not even gonna try this?
This was back in 2006 or so. I don’t recall if 4G was around then, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t available as an internet provider. If it was, I wasn’t aware.
I’m pretty happy with my current internet solution, but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!
Inhaling poison seems like a bad idea.
I tried this in the first place I lived at where I paid for my own internet, which was Comcast at the time.
They said (paraphrasing because it was a long time ago) their contract specified they were not responsible for any outages, nor any income lost due to same. I don’t know if that’s true, but I was young and naive and accepted it at face value.
People are allowed to have good moods?
Ah, thank you. That makes more sense.
