I think it’s more than half, and I think the other half just touches themselves in private areas too taboo to mention on a Christian oriented site like Lemmy. Let’s just say, stay away from the devil’ jewels kiddos.

Those are pretty ladies and cute outfits! Hope they drink sufficient amounts of water and stay hydrated, else time may not be kind to their skin.

This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it’s 90’s reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.

Truthfully, I want to work. I just don’t like having to play the game because the game sucks and I’m terrible at it. Let me just do the work.

Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you’re not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.

Personally, I just don’t like cooked pineapple very much. It’s a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I’ve got enough disappointment in my life already, don’t need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.

Thought you were going to say “in the butt”, but then you said “In HELL.” and I assume you don’t refer to the butt as hell. Right?

It’s a mineral, Gurk.

It’s a comforting sentiment, but unfortunately, it’s not really true.

A lot of grifters grift not because they failed at “legitimate or useful” employment, but because grifting is easier, quicker, and better money for them (or has other tangible benefits) and they have no moral quandaries about what they’re doing.

Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?

For real though?

I’ve had all 3 issues since I was a teenager. From my perspective, doctors in the USA don’t give a shit about any of them.

Back pain? You need to exercise more and lose weight. Great advice, of course, but ignoring the fact that it was an issue even when i was at my skinniest and most active.

Constant anxiety? You need to do breathing exercises. Oh, that didn’t work for you? That’s not possible, you’re doing them wrong.

Sleep problems? You need to exercise and lose weight. Great advice, of course, but it ignores the fact that my sleep issues were a problem even when I was at my skinniest and most active.

I’m glad to see you mention that, I was going to make a similar comment. I figure it’s a message that’s probably well understood here on the fediverse, but outside of this space not so much.

I think there’s also an argument to be made for charging subscriptions based on overall maintenance needs. Upgrades, updates, bug fixes, and things of that nature take time and can also cost money.

However, overall, there are way too many subscription based apps that just don’t seem justified. If I buy version 2.3 of AppXYZ, and as long as I stick to that version nor need any online functionality, I just don’t see a valid excuse for a subscription, other than pure greed on the developers’ part.

Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).

Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.

3N plants are sterile.

That’s not universally true, though. In many instances, 3N plants have reduced fertility, but can still produce viable seed. Even the seedless watermelons, the 3N types, can sometimes produce viable seeds.

I’m not trying to be contrarian here, and I’m not saying you’re wrong. But knowing how seedless watermelons are developed and produced, it doesn’t actually have much to do with being seedless.

At least in the USA, there are lots of different seedless watermelon varieties. I’ve only grown a small number of them, but they’ve all been great tasting.

Other than under ripe watermelons and random “wild” cultivars, I’ve never had a tasteless watermelon, so I’m slightly skeptical of your comment, to be honest.

Allow me to geek out a bit here, for the sake of the curious. Feel free to correct me if you’re smarter or more pedantic than me.

Basically, the way seedless watermelons work is that you “breed” two genetically incompatible watermelon varieties together, so that the fruit they bare are seedless. If you took a “seedless” watermelon plant and bred it with a compatible variety, it would produce seeded fruits.

The slightly more detailed version of this: Unlike most animals, plants can have more than one set of chromosomes and be perfectly fine. In fact, having multiple sets of chromosomes can actually be beneficial for plants. Typically plants, like animals, have 2 sets of chromosomes, but sometimes by random chance or otherwise, they can have double the amount (or more). If you cross a plant with a normal amount of chromosomes (2N) with a plant that has double the amount of chromosomes (4N), you get something in between (3N). These 3N plants are often fertile and produce seeds when crossed with other 3N plants, but usually they are not fertile when crossed with 2N or 4N plants. They’ll still produce their signature fruit, basically a hormonal response to being pollinated, but there will be no seeds or only underdeveloped, sterile seeds because the parents aren’t compatible.

I mean, it may not be the finest of fine cinema, but if it’s even remotely as entertaining to me as the prior installments, I’m in. I’m not expecting anything earth shattering out of it, but a good, solid “zombie” genre movie that’s not completely low effort, low budget or woefully over produced should be fine. At this point, I feel like we’re far enough away from that awful period of cinema where every other horror flick was a terrible zombie movie phase of things, so this should stand out. Hopefully.

Excellent! I’ve been hearing about this movie for years at this point. It makes me happy to hear that it’s finally going to be released publicly.

The original (and even the other movies in the series) are/were guilty pleasures of mine and hold a special place in my heart. I just watched them all around Thanksgiving. It’s hard to believe my parents let me watch this stuff when I was a kid.

Anybody know if they’ll be leaning into practical effects or go for more realistic CGI? One of my concerns is that they lean into intentionally crappy and cheap looking digital effects, which is not really my thing.

I need to bookmark this for when I have time to read it.

Not going to lie, there’s something persuasive, almost like the call of the void, with this for me. There are days when I wish I could just get lost in AI fueled fantasy worlds. I’m not even sure how that would work or what it would look like. I feel like it’s akin to going to church as a kid, when all the other children my age were supposedly talking to Jesus and feeling his presence, but no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t experience any of that. Made me feel like I’m either deficient or they’re delusional. And sometimes, I honestly fully believe it would be better if I could live in some kind of delusion like that where I feel special as though I have a direct line to the divine. If an AI were trying to convince me of some spiritual awakening, I honestly believe I’d just continue seeing through it, knowing that this is just a computer running algorithms and nothing deeper to it than that.
