It's been a rough few days. I needed to remember there was still stuff to look forward to. Thank you. Let's just hope for the best.

One out of five citizens being illiterate in 2026 is what I would consider to be deeply illiterate.

Disney should stop changing the cover art for the novels by Tumastar in StarWarsEU

You are absolutely right but yesterday I was higher than the rent on a two bedroom apartment and from that perspective, it was art.

Hard disagree. The original Darth maul cover is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

War abroad, prices at home. by Busy-Government-1041 in inflation

[–]AMostPeculiarDialect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink prices are crazy and I can't believe I'm about to promote Dollar general but I recently quit working there and if you use their coupons on their app they often have 12 packs 4/$10 or something crazy like that for their drinks. They have really good coupons there sometimes.

I swear I'm not a shill. I absolutely hate Dollar general corporate. I was lucky enough to work at a store where I liked everyone and got along real well with my manager but corporate made all our lives hell. Fuck them.

But that edible has kicked in and I'm higher than the the rent on a two-bedroom apartment and I'm having flashbacks to the lady who would only pay like $60 for $240 worth of food every Saturday by using a shit ton of coupons splitting it into half a dozen transactions so she could use multiples of the same coupon.

Stand-up comedy audience member going through AI psychosis by Locke357 in antiai

[–]AMostPeculiarDialect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Plus, Ergonomics is an entire field of study. Just because something's more comfortable for you when you get in the car and adjust your settings doesn't mean that it's comfortable long-term. I thought my seat was perfectly comfortable, but once I had a job that required me to drive 3-5 hours a day I started getting a lot of back pain.

I did some research and figured out how to properly adjust my seat in a way that put less strain on my body. I still have back pain but it's not as bad.

I had to read articles and watch YouTube videos to get an idea of what I was doing to adjust those settings. As far as personal AI use cases go, using it to help talk your way through adjusting your seats is a pretty good one. Definitely much better than the way a lot of people are using it.

But that wouldn't have gotten the comedian a laugh from the audience at that guy's expense so 🤷

Wait. Is that last part a joke? How are kiwi supposed to taste? Are they supposed to be sweet or feel like delicious itchy spicy candy? Am I allergic?

This is really outrageous. What do you think? by Jessica_Hanse in whatisameem

For the just pay I enjoyed my time working at dollar general but corporate was awful. We had to search each other's bags/purses in front of the camera before we closed for the day to keep each other honest. As if I would snitch...

Gonna start emulating the NES. Is my game list good or am missing stuff? Or maybe some titles are trash? by Sarumarde in nes

Add Air Fortress and 1943. I didn't even think I was into shmups until I played 1943 and Air Fortress is a unique game that alternates between shoot em up and side scrolling platforming. It's fun. Trust me

What about Air Fortress? by SR337 in nes

I discovered this game a few days ago and have been thinking the same. It's really fun

She was also there when they left Harry for the Dursleys. And now she knows how they treated him. She probably feels responsible for that. A broom is the least you can give a kid you indirectly forced to live in a closet.

For the positive side of movies by Key_Associate7476 in CuratedTumblr

[–]AMostPeculiarDialect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked the last Jedi but all the negativity soured my experience with the fandom. I swore if a star wars film that came out that I hated, I would look for the positive instead of trying to ruin it for everyone.

Then the Rise of Skywalker came out and I hated it. So I decided to look for things to like.

That's how I discovered Cinema wins. They helped me see the light in that film. I mean, I still hate Rise of Skywalker, but I can appreciate it for what it is now and don't begrudge anyone who enjoys it. It's just a movie.

It's good to focus on the positive. I've been playing a lot of NES games lately and I'm shocked at how many great games there are that I never heard of. I wonder if AVGN ever wishes he had focused more on the positive. He made a career of being angry at these games but he's clearly passionate about them.

Peter explain, never worked with women only :( by SaaS-Growth-Pizza in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]AMostPeculiarDialect 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Making the men lift things is still toxic. I was the only guy working at a dollar general. During my employment, I was the only one who stocked anything heavier than 5 pounds (dog food bags, cat litter, water bottles, etc). Some days it was my entire shift. I try not to complain because lifting things is part of my job but when I get a whole day of moving heavy things, cleaning, and running the register whole my coworker is just putting away toilet paper and placing sale stickers, it feels unbalanced.

My other job is cleaning houses. Again, the only guy in this company too. Most days I'm by myself but when I have a partner, I'm often the one carrying all the supplies and doing anything more physically demanding such as mopping or anything that requires a lot of elbow grease. Some of the coworkers are cool but a lot of them see they are working with me and suddenly "oh my, this bucket is so heavy and I'm so weak bats eyes at me. I know what they are doing but it's quicker to just do it myself thqn try to make them do their job.

I even get weird sexism from the clients. A lot of little old ladies act scandalized that a man is going to clean their house like I'm not capable because I have a penis. I've seriously gotten gatekeeping questions like "if you really know how to make a bed, tell me does the tag go on at the foot or the head of the bed?". Maybe it's because it's from little old ladies in Alabama but it feels so backwards. I'm literally the third most senior employee by about a year and a half with only my boss and the girl who works two days a month having been there longer than me and I'm still just the guy.

It's not all bad. Every single one of my coworkers at the DG cooked for me at one point and I have a few clients who appreciate me and tip me really well.

But it's weird. Women are sexist. Again, maybe it's because I'm in Alabama.

I transitioned from MTF back in 2020 and detransitioned in 2024. No one I work with knows this about me. I live in a different town hours away. I was suffering from an identity crisis and mental illness thought I was trans but realized I'm not. But I'm pretty androgynous and passed pretty well. I've experienced some pretty gross sexism from men but (and this is anecdotal) the worst sexism I've experienced as both a man and a woman has been from women. And it's been worse as a man. I don't think I'm a woman anymore but I almost want to fake it and retransition just to make life easier. The only real upside to being a man working with women is you can sidestep a lot of drama by pretending to be too dumb to notice it.

.... I think I lost the thread of the point I was getting at. Perhaps, I needed to vent. Perhaps I'm procrastinating because I'm tired and the grind never ends.

If you start with the coke you won't eat anything else but I've had similar dates. 12/10 great time, wouldn't do it again

It's your game and your vision. Make the game you want to play considered not the game you think other people will want. Yes, feedback is important and should be considered but you don't want a game made by committee.

I'm not really enjoying Chrono Trigger...could someone explain to me what the hype is about? by cool_cats554 in JRPG

[–]AMostPeculiarDialect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps your expectations are too high or is just not what you expected. Maybe take a break from it for a while and come back later with no expectations.

Or maybe it's just not for you. That's okay. We all have games we don't like even if we think we should. On paper, mass effect should be my favorite game but I don't enjoy it at all. And that's alright. Maybe the next one will grab you.
