I have collected several YouTube channels that focus on educational content over the last several years. Many of which no longer get put in recommendations. My feed is almost entirely nonpolitical there.

I find all my bad news on Lemmy, unfortunate as it is.

So what you’re saying is, they should make it $120…

Is this a wild Candlejack reference? Better tell everyone to avoid saying Candlejack. Hey everyone! Don’t say Candleja–

There truly is faith

This was probably a 30-year-old guy who’s been waiting for this moment since the first Oblivion released.

I don’t know that I’d want to be “cured”. Normal is boring.

Taoism is a practice that doesn’t rely on or reject a higher power. It gives meaning to day to day life and the writers I’ve read who practice it have a very practical view on the world.

As for religion, I fall into agnosticism. I certainly don’t have any hard evidence that there is a higher power, but at the same time, with how insanely complex, terrifying, beautiful, loving, and hurtful the world can feel, I can’t help but feel that there’s something beyond what’s in front of us at play. It may not be a theist’s idea of God, but something else entirely.

I just did one of my biggest trips last year by getting to see a live F1 race. I’ll personally end up going to another F1 race at a different track again. One of the most exciting events I’ve gotten to see.

Good thing I couldn’t care less about Online. I just played the career start to finish again without a single issue. I didn’t have a single issue with performance at max graphics either. If you ignore the online aspect, this was an improvement in every regard.

Kinda sucks for those having issues. At least the original game is still playable from what I understand.

The opposite of love is not hate, but apathy.

Truly hating something takes passion, energy and time out of your day. It also taught me that for masters of personal interest, if you truly need to end a relationship with someone, you simply stop responding. It’s far more effective than loudly proclaiming what you feel they do wrong. That will take far more away from you than if you cut ties.

Where am I supposed to get a phone that I can actually use with stuff?

No ethical consumption under capitalism and all that.

Company schedule entirely written in Google Sheets. When I originally took the position over, the owner wouldn’t settle for an alternative solution.

The previous IT person worked there previously for about 10 years and had been compulsively adding features with AppScript the entire time. It was auto sending emails, handling inventory, maintaining project files, you name it. I briefly looked at how it worked and there were easily a dozen script files, a few of which were thousands of lines.

I was able to replicate most of the important parts of the system that he wanted to replicate in about two weeks in between other work with one script file and something like 50 lines.

I eventually left for reasons unrelated to the place and only ever had to fix issues once every 6 months or so, which I consider pretty decent for an unattended Google Sheet shared by 5 users.

I’ve since returned and rebuilt the schedule a second time with a proper database and the whole thing run 10x smoother and more reliably.

I think this speaks for itself

Rosebud for money in the Sims

Okami just had its sequel teased after about 15 20 years. I’m excited to see what they do with it.

edit: 2006 was not 20 years ago! :(

This sounds absolutely terrible. So everyone gets their own separate education that no one is vetting? And what you learn sounds like it could be totally different than the next person.

We’re fucked if this is how kids are being taught going forward.
