Yeah, I know. But “what does greek mythology say about using windows” would have been less funny.

If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.

That’s weird. I don’t get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says “Sign In.” Maybe it’s because I’m on Windows 11?

Well to be fair, that wasn’t until 6 hours after my comment and 9 hours after yours, so neither of us could have known for sure.

Complimenting a username is nice, but you don’t have to throw in a disclaimer about political alignment. I don’t think any of your hexbear friends, if they’re reasonable, would call you a lib because you complimented the username of a guy whose instance is populated by libs.

At least it doesn’t look like it shrunk too.

I have no problem with the acceptable ads system. ABP doesn’t get any money from it, and the ads have to meet the criteria anyways, and it’s easy to opt out. I guess it’s a bit fishy that the list maintainers charge money to get ads reviewed, but the FAQ ThunderWhiskers posted says that smaller companies get it for free, and they only charge the bigger companies. I’m not gonna get up in arms over someone charging Disney money for a service they give the local deli for free.

I also like the way it gives companies an incentive to produce less intrusive ads. With the system, unintrusive ads reach more people. Otherwise, it’s all or nothing, which makes intrusive ads the best option from a greedy perspective; they’re far more likely to be clicked, and the only cost is the risk of damaging the ad ecosystem as a whole (and you know how little corporations can care about damaging ecosystems.)

The alt text doesn’t help, can someone explain the joke here?

I voted for you, Kevin.

You ever think about how weird it is that RPG means two different genres of game depending on whether it’s a video game?

If you want to make cool things, you play Minecraft. If you want to do cool things, you play Terraria. In Minecraft, it’s all about gathering resources and building, and the combat is an obstacle on the way to that. In Terraria, it’s about combat, and you gather resources and reshape the world to help you fight bosses.

The terms are that you have to insert your license agreement text? Man.

The dog is polite enough to stop chewing so you can force their mouth open, but doesn’t grasp the concept of dropping it on their own.

Something I learned fairly early in German class.

Du
Du hast
Du hast es
Du hast es gemacht

If you want a more accurate translation/explanation of the lyircs: Hast and hasst are homophones. Hast means have and hasst means hate. At the start, it sounds like it’s “du hasst mich” (you hate me,) because the alternative doesn’t make sense. But then when gefragt is added, the past tense of ask, it becomes “you have asked me.”

“Und ich hab nichts gesagt” means “and I said nothing.” Nein should be translated to no, but otherwise it’s pretty much just wedding vows. That translation is not literal, but that’s to be expected for songs.

Tales of Vesperia. I like the combat system most, but the story’s pretty good, and there’s a lot of optional content.

I meant as a post, not a comment, but nice.

But that doesn’t mean everything goes in the memes community. For example, uploading a mere T-shirt would be met with primarily downvotes.
