There’s a great episode of The Dollop about the Segway guy. 565 - Dean Kamen and It.
Of course we do, it’s the nectar of the gods.
Damn I really want some Rock n Rye now.

I wish people knew this wasn’t a word.
Literally all words are made up. There isn’t some cosmic rule that says words have to be a certain way.
This means that as usage changes, new words are born.
Dictionaries recognize this better than the people who worship them. Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. Their job is to help people understand one another. Which is why the word “podium” in many dictionaries has a North American added definition for “see lectern.” Because when people in North America say “podium,” the usually mean a lectern. So now the word podium also means lectern.
So if enough people use “everytime” with sufficient frequency, it will enter dictionaries. Just like “anytime” did after people started using it in the 1800s. Same with “everyday.”
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t recommend using non-standard vocabulary in a formal setting, like an article or a paper or some technical document. But Lemmy posts are informal.
Edit: Also, for what it’s worth, I frequently offer corrections for spelling and syntax. Just…this type of vocab isn’t worth correcting (in my mind anyway).
It’s called “preincarnation.”
I remember reading a story in my Spanish lit class about a guy who wasn’t attending church, and his mother was freaking out, so the family priest went to talk to him. And the priest was like, “I totally get it. After all the evil I’ve seen I don’t really believe either. But I continue in this because it is my life, and I can provide comfort to people. Consider attending because you love your mother and it will help her.”
I think this image needs a bit more compression.
Ubisoft is the CBS of the game industry.
Is that true? PC, Xbox, or both?
Also Hello Internet (RIP).
Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.
Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.
Potato is a tuber.
Vegetable is a culinary classification, not a botanical one.
I doubt it. Regardless of the current stage of machine learning, everyone is now tuned in and pushing the tech. Even if LLMs turn out to be mostly a dead end, everyone investing in ML means that the ability to do LOTS of floating point math very quickly without the heaviness of CPU operations isn’t going away any time soon. Which means nVidia is sitting pretty.
Last I checked I was in the top 100 for the 360° version of a specific song on Beat Saber.
Also in the top 100 on a specific Lady Gaga song on Beat Saber.
But I can only beat two of the Camellia songs on Expert+, so I’m not anywhere near the best. Kinda hit a wall and lost interest, unfortunately.
“Two things only the people anxiously desire — bread and circuses.”
My Dad fell down the stairs naked and landed in my mom’s sisters special spot.
“What are you doing, bro-in-law?”
I’m not saying the open and affirming churches don’t fight for causes and social justice.
I’m just saying that they’re not the ones running governments and controlling rural populations. Those people don’t want to hear it. It’s just like how they abandoned Fox News for Newsmax and OAN when Fox called the election for Biden. To them, religion is a source of validation, not something to emulate or follow. They don’t want to be challenged.
There was an article a while back about a pastor who said someone in his congregation argued with him about something he said in his sermon, which had been Christ’s own words. The congregant said, “That’s not Christian, it’s too weak.” Or something to that effect.
There are many Christians whose faith does not involve pushing the law on others, but instead focus on the gospel and its inclusive nature.
These aren’t the loud ones who push regressive policies. Because the ones pushing regressive policies aren’t doing so because their religion tells them to, they’re making their religion fit whatever they feel the world should look like, picking and choosing which rules to follow or ignore based on their worldview, shaping their religion to fit their bigotry. They would hate Jesus, who preached paying taxes, being generous to the needy, and accepting sinners and those despised by the establishment of the time.
Somewhere on my original Xbox I have a save file where Vivec is stored in a soulstone.
I wouldn’t recommend you listen to the Dollop episode though, they tend to mercilessly mock their subjects.
