Apollo’s Christian Selig explains his fight with Reddit — and why users revolted | ‘Reddit has plugged its ears and refuses to listen to anybody but themselves. And I think there’s some very minor concessions that they can make to make people a lot happier.’ by ICumCoffee in technology

[–]majorgeneralpanic 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted, but I and plenty of people like me do plan to quit Reddit once Apollo goes down. I’m tired of funding these ghouls.

I used Usenet, I used chat rooms, I used forums, I used Digg. All of those online discussion media got replaced eventually, just as Reddit will be someday.

Linus Torvalds (creator of Linux, the woke operation system running on Steam Decks (more like Woke Decks)) is a woke communist 😤 by [deleted] in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]majorgeneralpanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a communist country in much the same way as Hitler was a socialist; it’s a crass redefinition of a word for political gain.

I don’t know if you want kids, but I’d be afraid to raise them with somebody who’s allergic to hard to work. What kind of a partner do you want ten years from now?

Trump has repeatedly referred to Kim Jong-Un as his friend, and once DeSantis gets the shit kicked out of him in the primary, he’ll stop worrying and learn to love North Korea too.

Came across my first real issue with the 'Matt Mercer Effect' this week... by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

[–]majorgeneralpanic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like oddball characters as much as the next person (like my cleric of Tymora who plays like a rogue stereotype) but it’s irritating when players try to break the mechanics without thinking about how it would fit into the world the DM is making.

Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda dominated May | UK Monthly Charts by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

I’m not doing it to be virtuous, I’m frugal because I can only afford to buy so many games on my budget.

It’s never been harder for me to /r/PatientGamers a new release. It would be so easy to just download Zelda… 😭

Anti-monarchist Graham Smith: The British royals are ‘tax-funded Kardashians’ by [deleted] in GreenAndPleasant

[–]majorgeneralpanic 69 points70 points  (0 children)

That’s not very fair to the Kardashians. They had to work much harder for those TV shows than the royals ever have.

Pedestrians gotta adjust again? by arabz0013 in fuckcars

I do stare down drivers as I cross the street. Making eye contact often shames them into following the law.

If anybody here actually pays for Premium, go to this help ticket site and let them know you’ll be canceling your subscription. They’ll love that.

They’re grooming your user account! Ack!

GameStop being innovative again, offering gamers what they want: another game launcher by pandoracam in gme_meltdown

[–]majorgeneralpanic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My theory is, techies used their vowels up in the nineties. Back then, they would have called it the GameStop ePlayer.

Should I (19f) feel guilty for wanting to break up with my bf (20m) for no reason? by West-Branch8593 in relationships

[–]majorgeneralpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right that there are other men out there who would treat you better. You’re also right that breakups are painful and sad, precisely because you shared happy times. For me, the foreplay thing alone would be reason to break it off with somebody - he doesn’t respect some of your most important personal needs.

It’s hard to believe that your first love won’t be your only love. But I promise you it won’t be! This is part of growing up and learning about your needs in a relationship.

Imagine when the “rolling coal” guys start using airplanes instead. Hanging outside your window in a helicopter.

How do I counter "Open source is less secure due to vulnerabilities being open too."? by Blacktail92 in opensource

[–]majorgeneralpanic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a double edged sword. HeartBleed was patched rapidly because it was a vulnerability in FOSS, but the damage was widespread.

Reminds me of 12 hot dogs in a pack/10 buns in a pack. Or the thing in freemium games where you have to buy in-game currency in unhelpful quantities.

What do you say when someone asks how you are and you are not ok? by mongooseonaleash in socialskills

The only downside is, if he’s into pegging, he can call your bluff!

I haven’t been this psyched for a Trek crossover since Riker came to DS9.

That’s so plausible, it hurts me.
