Same here. I have never owned an NES. We went Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Sega Master System, Amiga, Sega Genesis, Saturn, PC, Dreamcast, GameCube and Playstation 2. (I wasn’t a kid by the last few of course). I’ve played some Nintendo console games in emulation but have never owned one aside from the GameCube. And agreed, Phantasy Star is awesome.

The invasion aspect is with taking seriously. Also, Trump/Putin want the US to withdraw from NATO, but that’s an aside. My point is that the media, pundits, social media personalities are talking as if it’s a reasonable concept, military invasion aside. It’s about like some guy walks up to a married woman and says “hey we’re going to have sex tonight!” and she’s like “wtf? absolutely not, no, get the hell away from me” and then a bunch of people start discussing what kind of sex they’re going to have and if it will be good or not.

I think they meant being served half an avocado on a restaurant dish. Your plate comes out, there’s half a sliced avocado on top of your enchiladas… then you scan the room, thinking “who here has the other half of my avocado?”

It’s puzzling why the printer industry has to be so abusive and has always been customer hostile. I mean, it’s nothing new, printer companies have been awful since at least the 70s… printer problems are what inspired Stallman to start GNU after all. Are there any printer companies not like this? Is Brother still decent?

Wasn’t there a post on here not long ago with someone thinking the same thing about getting half an avocado? Like “woah someone else is eating the same avocado as me”. This also applies to say, cows. Pretty rare to eat one single cow yourself.

They’d still be up in Canada though so I don’t see how that aspect would affect me. They’d never let Canadians have full voting rights, of course, since that would mean Republicans would have to cheat way harder to win.

Also, it’s hard to believe how this inane idea popped up out of nowhere last month and so many people act like it’s a serious thing. Trump threatening Canada is serious, I guess. But the idea is so out of left field and basically incredibly dumb. That hasn’t stopped thousands of people and the media acting like it’s totally normal. There’s absolutely no indication the vast majority of Canadians would want this at all. Ah well, trump was never one to care about consent.

Sure. You complained about that opinion, but it doesn’t mean I can’t hold that opinion. I don’t agree with your observations or conclusions. We don’t need more dimwit asshole conservatives here, if that’s what you mean by ‘wider audience’. That group already whines that Reddit is too leftist for them. I don’t really agree that Lemmy is more extreme in that regard, other than specific instances like .ml or grad. The politics I see here are not more extreme and I don’t find the user base ‘repellant’ at all, and I hold fairly typical US left views (would like more socialism, believe in human rights, universal healthcare, oppose racism, etc).

I don’t really get that either. New users are immediately presented with posts and communities they can interact with, and all of the functions are familiar to anyone who has used reddit or forums. The interface is straightforward and uncluttered, as far as what that contributes to the user experience. Also I have never found federation confusing.

I guess OP is talking about the attitude of personality of lemmy members and I don’t agree with that, either. The 2-3 people on reddit quoted in the post are clueless and there’s no indication they represent a significant and amount of people’s perceptions. “Endless wars about federation” - what? There was controversy for like 1 week several months ago.

I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about.

So Lemmy is filtering out people who can’t take 5 minutes to understand a simple concept and make a decision?

Um… okay, if the fairly mainstream for our demographic politics here repels certain people, good.

Maybe I’m more tech oriented than many, but I don’t find federation confusing at all. I’ve never understood why it’s described that way.

Those comments are fairly meaningless. Federation wars? Where? There was some controversy like a year ago from why I recall and everyone has moved way on. I wouldn’t even consider that UX either.

An improved version of old reddit with a good mobile view, which old reddit lacks.

is this about the stupid football thing?

Right. I starved even with food in T1 onset and then later got DKA, which was excruciating.

Ozempic is expensive af. Even more so than insulin.

That’s true, t1 and t2 are basically opposite conditions with some overlapping effects. A significant portion of people with type 2 do use insulin, though.

The old forms of insulin (R, NPH) are already cheap and available at Walmart without a prescription. They are only $25 a vial, but suck to use though. Pretty sure they’re referring to the metabolic drugs given to people with type 2.

Yes. Thank you. I have T1, and with T2 being ~20 times as common, I don’t think the difference will ever be understood by the public. I wish it would get a different name, though that wouldn’t lower the price of insulin, right.
