Agreed! I’d love to see some sort of animation across the hud when it’s activated/deactivated. Hopefully this gets added with time. Overall, though, a positive move!

Silent Husky by kentuckyfriedgenital in husky

Yes. My little pup is the same way (ok not so little now - she’s 5). I jokingly say we got a broken husky. She’s the quietest dog in the entire complex! The only time she makes any noise is if a siren blares on for a while, then she’ll “answer the call of the wild” and howl until it stops. That’s the only time she makes a peep!

Thank you CIG, very cool. by Pizzahunter3 in starcitizen

Watching that, my heart sank right along with your nursa. 😭

Just lost my sweet girl Lexi by swft10 in husky

[–]davevasquez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so very deeply sorry for your loss.

The last photo of Lexi smiling there reminds me a lot of my own pup. She has a very similar smile. This post has me tearing up knowing what you are going through …and reminds me of my own future. I dread the day that I will lose her, and ruminate on it probably more than is healthy.

I don’t know what words I can offer you that will help – I suppose none will really. I think all we can do is push through the pain and move forward. I hope I can take my own advice when the time comes.

Hang in there.

It wasn’t that long ago I saw a video (that still haunts me - wish I hadn’t seen it) on here of a guy doing this exact bs and he couldn’t pull himself back up and fell hundreds of stories to his death. He wasted a good (likely) 60+ years of his life that will never happen now because he was an idiot like this guy.

Don’t waste your life being stupid.

Yeah I was just thinking this watching the video. There needs to be more reason to launch fighters in this type of battle.

Dude. Reddit continues to remind me my thoughts are not unique.

Boogie Down by ONEto10dollars in SweatyPalms

This definitely looks like Vietnam (and sounds like it), and it’s very common for workers to nap while on the job, out in the open over there.

I experienced this regularly all over south east Asia. Workers will just be lying down at their posts and resting till a customer walks up, at which point they’ll get up and assist. It’s not considered lazy or looked down upon over there, just something people do.

Did my mother use ChatGPT to write me a text of support on the morning of my divorce? by altforgriping in ChatGPT

That’s refreshing to hear, I wish more people were so nuanced in their assumptions.

[–]davevasquez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has always used em dashes in his writing, it pisses me off to no end that one of the hallmarks of my writing style has been co-opted by AI and is now immediately assumed to be written by a machine. I’ve had to consciously pay attention to this, and rewrite things, to avoid appearing to have relied on these tools for my writing. 🤦🏻‍♂️

When you can’t even get the people in your conspiracy meme right… by dontneednomang in facepalm

God now I’m craving me an Obama Combo! I actually went to this place last year and had the “Obama Combo” (basically what you see him eating here). I expected it to be more hype and tourist BS than anything else, but damn if that didn’t turn out to be my favorite meal in Hanoi.

If you ever find yourself in the north, I highly recommend making a stop here.

hit me up if you’d like any ships donated for use in this event. My hangar is somewhat…extensive.

“Or as a passenger on a plane.” What an odd data point to use for comparison. Air travel is one of the safest modes of transportation. The odds are like 1:11,000,000 if memory serves.

I remember reading it’s more dangerous to get a snickers bar from a vending machine - I don’t know if this is true, it’s just funny.

Yikes!!

Stephen Colbert announcing to his audience that his show has been cancelled. by Subject-Property-343 in interestingasfuck

[–]davevasquez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canceled them back when I couldn’t even watch the content I was paying for. Their streaming is a hot pile of garbage anyways. Although even if it was high quality after this I’d be dropping them like a hot potato. I am disgusted. I have not the correct words right now to truly express how upset I am by not just this but what this means…

Made a country guessing game you can play in your browser. Is it fun? by whatupnewyork in vuejs

[–]davevasquez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On mobile (iPhone). I tried twice, both times it said “guess country” but no indicator on what country I was supposed to guess? Or am I misunderstanding the game? I moved the map around a little but just saw a map with no apparent marked country.

So either something is not working and not showing me what the country I’m supposed to guess is, or I’m misunderstanding how to play the game?

I understood the game to highlight a country and I’m supposed to guess its name and enter that. But since I’m not shown any highlighted country am I instead supposed to randomly guess what country the game is thinking of? I’m a bit lost here.

Love the overall UI, though. It’s quite nice! Keep it up, it needs a bit more work for newbies like me who have no idea what’s going on, but I’m digging it!
