I wish we could get this for the Sims 3. I still play that over 4 sometimes as it had more content and better quality in some areas. Love the bigger neighborhood aspect, for sure.

Hilarious chaos has been pretty cool in this regard. I like that the admins don’t take themselves seriously and are very active here.

That’s interesting, I’ve never heard that before. I’ll have to see, maybe I’m wrong lol.

I see it a lot in online comments. Not so much on Lemmy but other places like YouTube and Instagram.

Using “women” for the singular use. I don’t understand how this happens because it couldn’t be more clear if you sound out the word.

Woman = 1 person

Women = 2 or more persons

Why everyone resorts to only using “women” baffles me.

Personally, I can only think of one which was my great uncle who works for NASA. He was an atheist for all of my life (30+ years) until a few years ago when he came to visit us and began coming to church and explained that he’s now a Christian.

I haven’t asked his reasons why but I am curious what led to his conversion. Most of my family is Christian, but no one, as far as I know, pressured him to change or mocked him for his (lack of) belief. The topic of religion never came up in family gatherings besides having a circle of hands and prayer before dinner.

It’s not necessarily Gmail, I have a variety of these free email accounts and my Gmail rarely ever gets spam. But my Yahoo has been getting hit HARD lately.

This is not unusual for this time of year. At the beginning of each year, this happens.

My theory is that it’s because in the US, this is when citizens begin working on their taxes and are able to get tax refunds as early as January. This means that malicious actors have a wide variety of money potentially available from these people having money from tax refunds and they have a higher chance of getting more money at this time.

That’s my theory, anyway. It starts to die down after April, which is the deadline for US citizens to file taxes for the year.

Completely? Witness a series of murders by a high profile criminal and get witness protection.

Or call that guy in New Mexico for a specific vacuum package.

I am the same and I’ve never smoked a cigarette. I like the initial smell that comes off after it’s been freshly lit. But once it hits the middle, that shit starts to stink lol.

I grew up in a time when adults smoked around kids so I guess it’s the familiarity with my childhood too.

Same here!

I miss having those specific TV subreddits here because I didn’t have anyone to talk to about after seeing it.

But I was not expecting him to be the person. It made sense when I saw the bandage on the wrist. When did you figure it out?

Fucking this so much.

There’s an outage but it’s not my week. How about I only get notified if someone tags me instead of getting 50 notifications in the middle of the night that have nothing to do with me??

Recently, it seems that whenever I go on lunch, that is when people decide to start spamming the group chats. Really fun trying to watch a video or listen to music on my phone and have to be spammed with those notifications.

And the best I can do, as far as I know on my iPhone, is to swipe the notification and block for an hour or block for the day. But there lies the problem…if someone needs to ping me, then I miss out on that notification…

You reminded me how Teams defaults to emoji when typing too.

I’ve had times where I’m making a point like “ Here is a point (here is context): “ and Teams will turn that last ): to a sad face emoji….

It’s been a while since I’ve encountered that, but I had no idea how to undo it and it irritates me that they default to emojis over grammar for a work-first application.

Ubisoft deserves every bit of this.

Sucks for those people losing their jobs, though.

Ubisoft has been shooting themselves in the foot at every turn they make and making no intention on going back on any of it. Good riddance, Ubisoft. You used to be a company I looked forward to releasing a new game.

I just block a lot of communities like that. It’s easy in the Voyager app to do this on Lemmy. I also have some filters set up for some of the common words that are used in the doom and gloom posts like what you’re talking about.

It helps out a lot to decrease a lot of the overly negative stuff.

If you find yourself wanting some of it back, maybe you could create a second account that you could log into as you feel it is needed? Voyager allows me to switch between accounts very easily. Or it did, I haven’t had a secondary account in some time, but I did have that function last time I needed it.

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

Photon Q…. Haven’t heard that in a while but I remember wanting it so bad.

I’m jealous. I always love a good phone with a keyboard. Wish we could get more of these back in style.

LibreOffice (and Open Office). When Microsoft Office is $200 or a monthly subscription.

I just used LibreOffice Writer to update my resume a few minutes ago and it’s a bit to switch to but it makes sense and I loveeeee the UI that caters to both people who prefer classic Office (‘97-2003) or those who prefer the more modern UI (‘07 and newer).

It does get a bit annoying because it is so powerful that it has a mind of its own and tries to do things for you, like formatting, but if you’re patient (like I was just now), it’ll work out for you and be really great.
