  • The response to it as bait is that anyone saying that seriously is an idiot.

    If you are referring to this:

    Once she was done, I say to her “Let’s get you out of that wet dress. I imagine it must be uncomfortable. I’ve never actually worn a wet dress before”.

    That is just someone who blurts out a thought they had after saying something else, pretty common with ADHD. Like at first they were thinking about wet shorts, which can get pretty uncomfortable fast if they aren’t made to get wet, then realized dresses might not have the same feeling since they aren’t connected in the middle. I could absolutely see myself saying something along these lines depending on the material of the clothing and the appearance of how it sticks to the body.

    If you mean the wife’s reaction then asking her would be necessary because I have no idea where she is coming from that would make something like that sound sexist.







  • Wanting closure is a preference and does not apply to all games. Counter Strike 2 doesn’t have a story and there is zero closure for example.

    The industry trying to force games into a live service model when they shouldn’t be is a problem, sure. There are a few games where the model actually is a benefit though, like Helldivers 2. Other than wrapping up things somehow while winding down the game there isn’t an opportunity for closure while an endless war is going on. The setting itself is why closure isn’t on the table.

    So I agree with the overall idea as it applies to games in general, but it isn’t some universal truth.


  • Is used RIF because the web interface for reddit sucked, so when they killed APIs and went to monetizing user comments that was enough for me.

    Tried a few things out for the fediverse (which is why I have several accounts of a similar age) as it seemed like a better version of reddit style discussion. Lemmy front end is good enough wjich is good as I tend to bounce between phone and PC.

    The fediverse is like every other discussion environment like forums and other content aggregators, where most things are fine and a small subset of users are completely awful and some mods/admins are terrible and some small corners are extremely cliquish and hostile to outsiders. But overall the interface is good, moderation is not nit picky about cursing, and discussions in general are more enjoyable than on reddit and most forums.




  • So one thing that is an inherent issue with the distributed structure is inconsistent rules. There are instance rules and community rules and similar communities on different instances don’t have the same server or community rules, and a feed like All or even Subscribed is listing a bunch of things with different rules for interaction and adding a requirement to know all the rules for each individual post is unrealistic. Sure, most comments are fine if someone isn’t a complete jackass, but that mostly means the rules are not relevant the majority of the time.

    Did you read and understand both the instance and community rules before commenting here? I did not, and have no regrets.
