Do you approve sex work? Why or why not? in c/asklemmy

Eh, sometimes "No, thank you" is also appropriate.

When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire. in c/showerthoughts

I could never bear to watch any of his speeches. Too cringe painful.

Who/what are racists according to UK protests? Why are they protesting? in c/nostupidquestions

Damn, I would have simply blocked the troll long before this! You have the patience of a saint.

Huh, I haven't really heard people call her "Nancy". Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was "Pelosi" with a reference to the attack on her husband.

I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.

Now I'm not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate's name.

First build in over a decade! in c/pcmasterrace

[–] elephantium 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

As others have said, congrats on the new build :)

I assembled a desktop* for myself in 2021 after a long run on an ol' Dino Laptop. I had similar feelings - a LOT had changed. I was able to avoid RGB for all the internal components, but it did take some looking.

RGB lights on memory, etc. look nice if you have a window in your case and keep it on your desktop - doubling as artwork. I've seen some very pretty-looking builds out there!

*Deskbottom would be more like it. I keep the case on the floor under my desk.

There are two types of games in c/gaming

Like nails on a 'chaulkboard', that.

Where should I upload short videos to post them to Lemmy? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] elephantium 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not mad about it, I just think it's funny that videos have taken over from images.

obesity in c/lemmyshitpost

[–] elephantium 7 points 6 months ago

Why does that upset/startle you? Pregnancy at age 35+ is associated with more risks than pregnancy in the 20s.

Imgur should really rename itself as vidyer. Seems like it's mostly videos these days!

Confused about Podman in c/selfhosted

[–] elephantium 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing "pdoman" in commands by mistake.

'I Gave Up': Roland Emmerich Reveals What Happened to Planned Stargate Reboot in c/stargate

[–] elephantium 16 points 6 months ago

The original movie came out in 1994, Universe came out in 2009. That's 15 years. 2009 to 2024 is also 15 years. Universe is about to be older than Stargate was when it came out. Yikes.
