I remember there was a technology or games post asking about building a linux gaming computer from like a year ago, and it had tons of advice, but I can't find anything about it now (pretty normal for Lemmy search)

Does anyone know what that was, or am I wasting time on something that might be outdated and should find something more recent? I haven't build my own PC in a decade so my own knowledge is pretty old

Huh, that dog is pretty much identical to my dog with the saturation turned way up. It's uncanny. Justice for Xiaopang!

Having a lot of dark thoughts reading that thread. They/theming people who don't use that pronoun is absolutely misgendering. Even in queer spaces it seems that way, since I never notice the cissies getting it.

I get harassed in public and misgendered in queer spaces. Why do I bother going on if no one respects or cares for me

Thanks for reminding me to delete my account. It's been trying to force that log-in thing for a while for me at least. Imagine making a competitor to GitHub that sucks even worse

Learn your local spiders. Moved into a house with a ton of spiders, but after learning to recognize them it turned out only Black Widows were dangerous, and they stick to themselves in sheds and don't bother us

Now as long as they don't touch me I'm good with spiders. Love this one's color!

A lot of these have sources that actively contradict the claim, or are technically correct on the most redditor-esque of ways?

Banana-flavored candy was not intended to mimic the taste of a formerly popular variety of banana. It tastes different from bananas because it is mainly flavored with only one of the many flavor compounds a banana has, isoamyl acetate

Links to this article.

Remember how isoamyl acetate is the chemical compound primarily responsible for banana flavoring? Gros Michel contains more of that compound than the Cavendish. In fact, isoamyl acetate was one of the first chemical compounds used in artificial flavors that was confirmed to exist in the actual fruit as well. So, when you’re biting into a piece of banana Laffy Taffy, you’re getting a taste of the bananas of the past.

It is not illegal in the US to shout "fire" in a crowded theater.

Knowingly false statements of fact are often constitutionally unprotected — consider, for instance, libel, fraud, perjury, and false light invasion of privacy. That would presumably apply to knowing falsehoods that cause a panic.

I don't know if it was from a mod, but when I played with a friend there was a modifier to disable failing out of songs, so we'd enable it on those songs and just swing along wildly as best we could, and still finish them. Also helped us get a lot better at the game. Maybe that would work?

What? Norm was always an "apolitical centris" at his best, and was usually far more conservative, who would frequently punch down, like when he

transphobia/SA

Mocked the rape of a transman and the murder of him and his friends.

That's the context for his "I think everyone involved in this story should die" quote.

He stayed conservative, defended trump and attacked #MeTwo towards the end of his life. Other than like one 9-11 joke, I don't see any reason why leftists would want to claim or defend him?

Looks like going back to old English, strawberries were still berries. The botanical meaning was only added in the 1700s.

So blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, pineapples, strawberries, and eggplants are all berries

I didn't want to pick a fight with 5e people, but we found it unsalvagable and moved on. Anything kind of campaign we could run in it would work better in some other system we know.

No one I know has played Pathfinder 2e since the playtest, but the low success rates and weakened spells made it feel like a very slow slapstick comedy. I heard some of that was from math issues that were later fixed.

We are considering trying it again, but I keep on getting caught up on the loss of things I loved in 1e, like constant flight or not having to take actions for your minions.

I think spell slots are really neat when you take advantage of them like 3.5/Pathfinder did. Each slot was prepared separately, could be left unprepared and then prepared out of combat to adapt to the day, and had lots of metamagic options to make use of different level slots.

But by the time of 5e, slots don't seem to have any purpose beyond lowering caster flexibility. When we were playing we ruled spontaneous casters could use spell points instead of slots to give them an edge up on the prepared ones.

3.0/3.5/Pathfinder also used Power Points for its psionics instead of slots, and that worked very well. Shame 5e doesn't have psionics.
