  • That was a close one

    Jump

  • it's reassuring at least we pick the very best, smartest and most qualified leaders to manage all this.

    Reminds me of that episode of Futurama: "Fortunately, our handsomest politicians came up with a cheap, last minute way to combat global warming."

  • Graduation inflation

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think it's a case of schools meeting their metrics by any means necessary, because we shouldn't be seeing reading and math skills dipping while graduation rates go up.

  • [Discussion] You have to choose one of these to be released tomorrow, the rest will never be released. Which one do you choose and why?

    Jump

  • Sekiro 2! Please. It's all I want.

  • How did he do that??

    Jump

  • I don't think so. The joke is that you're supposed to put your arms up in the air to appear bigger when you run into bears, so bear-cop is suddenly intimidated when the perp does it.

  • Prove you're a fan first. (satire)

    Jump

  • I don't think it's making fun of anything in particular. This guy's whole deal is coming up with fake features for apps that would be incredibly annoying.

  • It's probably not reasonable to expect this to improve in 2026.

    Jump

  • I procrastinated doing this for years, then finally set up a NAS a few months ago and backed everything up so that I could make the switch. It was worth it.

  • I will miss him dearly

    Jump

  • Does it help if I tell you that I love my cat more than RAM and would never trade him?

  • Deleted

    It must be kept safe

    Jump

  • Whoops, thank you. I'll remove.

  • After playing DCSS for two years I finally beat it

    Jump

  • I haven't played any of the similar games I'm seeing listed alongside it, but I generally enjoy challenging roguelikes. I'll just jump into it.

    Not sure if this is the most current version, but I just installed what was in the flatpak repo.

  • The baby-proofing arms race

    Jump

  • The noise-making toys have a tendency to go "missing" in our house.

    Jump

  • Thanks! Would you say this is a "watch a video first" game? Or can you just jump into it?

  • This looks fun. Downloading.

  • When you get tired of Distrohopping

    Jump

  • I changed one of my PCs over to Debian this month, and I was surprised at how smooth it is. I guess I was expecting it to be way more barebones. I don't know if I need more than this!

  • Going out

    Jump

  • His wife seems to be the only one who can rein him in.

  • That doesn't sound terrible to me

    Jump

  • Just looked it up, and I'm seeing that his name is a sort of contradiction. His first name is "Light", and the characters in his last name mean "night god".

    It sounds like sort of a "light vs dark" / "good vs evil" wordplay, although I don't know if that counts as a pun.

  • How do you deal with grief?

    Jump

  • With grief, the only way out is through. Unlike other mental ailments such as depression or anxiety, you're not going to find a cognitive distortion or flawed line of thinking that is responsible for the distress and can be challenged. Grief is logical, and we have to feel it until it becomes less intense.

    What we can do is modulate how much we're processing at any given moment to try to keep it manageable. Think of it like that saying, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." You can't change the total size of the task, but you can control how big of bites you take.

    Finding what helps you reduce the "bites" will be personal, but starting with some general coping skills like "thought-stopping", meditation, or any activity that keeps your mind active and occupied is a good start.

  • Signs like this could be found in the late 1800s/early 1900s, explaining this strange new technology.

    Jump

  • That sounds like a fun house to live in.

    When I was double-checking the date of this sign before posting earlier, I saw a handful of results for vendors selling them. You could probably find one pretty easily if you decide you want it.

  • Well, that seems bad

    Jump

  • I miss when no politicians even understood what the internet was.

  • Well, that seems bad

  • Jesus...
