No, it was like a Street Fighter clone. I found a Flash copy but it doesn’t seem to work.

I miss the Teen Titans game on there.

hall effect switches

Is that another term for optical switches?

Adult checking in here. I’ve never had to replace a plug for anything… can’t say I know how to either.

That one stupid California King song, I don’t know the exact title. Kept hearing it on the radio and it’s just crude and annoyingly bubbly. Ugh.

Found it: Marshmello, Kane Brown - Miles On It

I know there are different types of vaccines, but really, experience should be enough to prove this assumption wrong many times over. I guess people just don’t get their flu shots…

"What you were taught
“Flu shots give you the flu”

What we know now
A common misconception…

Updated understanding emerged around 2020"

Updated for whom? Anti-vaccine idiots?

I just picked up a book on this! There is, of course, an incredibly racist history to the use of these concepts.

You Are Not a Kinesthetic Learner

That guy might be face blind.

You two have hit the jackpot apparently.

That seems somewhat circular to me. Sure, if you define it that narrowly.

Wait, I didn’t know this about the Amazon Prime free games. So they’re distributed through GOG?

Yeah, it’s just unfortunate all around. I do feel a bit bad that there isn’t anything I could’ve done to fix things, but I wasn’t given the chance to anyway.

Right, I get that people are not great at confrontation. It’s certainly not my strong suit, either. But apparently it’s too much to expect people to be reasonable adults.

Never heard of this one, it sounds fascinating! Thanks for mentioning.

I’ve always been meaning to go through and do a serious watch of that in order.

For me, it’s got to be the original ‘The 4400’ which also has a recent reboot, but that isn’t as great. It’s only a few seasons since it was unfortunately canceled.

I started watching it on a whim and was surprised by how in-depth some of the sci-fi ideas and moral quandries are, and the character development is fairly solid as well. When you consider that most of the actors aren’t big names or unknowns (at least at that time, as it includes young Mahershala Ali), it makes it feel extremely liminal. Like most shows of the early 2000s, they tend to go for that ‘creature of the week’ format but also manage to have an overarching narrative.

Ended way too soon! :(

Damn, what’s your privacy stack like?

It’s baffling how quick people are to do it. A while ago, I sold an old electronic thing on Marketplace to someone. A day later, they sent me an angry message saying that it didn’t work and how I scammed them, then proceeded to block me. I would’ve liked the opportunity to troubleshoot with them or even refund the item if it turned out to actually be broken, but… blocking me precludes all that. What exactly did they hope to achieve?

Is there a Best of Lemmy? This should definitely be on there. Kudos.
