Chicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.

I’m curious what game. My feeling is it must be something with a constantly changing economy?

Curious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)

Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?

I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be… 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Hawken

I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

I was trying to figure out how to wipe at all! Even if you stood all the way up, there’s hardly room for your arm to reach around.

Getting a teeny bit slammed for your comment, but I think the simpler answer is: you probably wouldn’t. If instagram is working for you and yours, then I’d imagine you’ll stay there. That’s totally fine. This is a thread about federated alternatives, though, so the overall subject may not apply to you.

I like pixelfed because a) it doesn’t have ads for 2/3 of the content, b) it doesn’t have reels (which IMO go against the entire point of instagram to begin with), and c) I’m specifically not looking for pictures of my friends. For me, instagram is a platform for discovering art from other people. It still works for that, but there’s so much other stuff on there getting in the way. Pixelfed is “back to basics” for what I’m looking for in an art sharing platform.

Huh, there are some filtered slurs in there I’ve never heard of before! I guess this probably isn’t the place to ask to whom they apply and how, though. Still, the list isn’t as long as I expected, and doesn’t seem to apply to profanity so much as just offensive slurs. I feel like the “b-word” is a little bit of a stretch, but I can appreciate the intent there.

Thanks for giving the best answer here!

hunte… wait a minute

In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should’ve been.

I’m trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it’ll work for you

In another post, someone tried to say “resting removed face” but it came out “resting removed face”

edit: well that’s awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?

Man, I’m sorry to hear that’s your experience. I guess some folks simply refuse to be understanding.

I think it’s important to bear in mind that some of those things are what neurotypical folks, I guess you could call them, use to convey interest or disinterest. Eye contact is a way to express interest, and helps to show one is intently listening to the speaker. Conversely, frequently glancing away is kind of the body language equivalent of giving short “uh huh” type answers when one is trying to disengage from a conversation.

My point isn’t that you should feel bad about struggling with these nuances; I just think it’s worth mentioning that some of those negative reactions you may have experienced just has to do with expectations in body language. It’s not that someone who’s neurodivergent is being an asshole, it’s just that they’re sending out signals we’re otherwise used to interpreting as disinterest, and that is (often) off-putting.

Again, it’s not something to feel bad about, it’s just communicating on different wavelengths so-to-speak. Sort of like a language/culture difference.

That clean OS is really the reason I’ve been on pixels for a bit, even though I’m mad they removed the audio port. I’ve been on Google Fi for a bit now too, though. I wonder if it would be tough to stay there with graphene. My service has been so much better and my bill so much lower than other providers, it’d be hard for me to switch off that.

That’s good to know. I think when I tried it before, I ran into issues signing into multiple devices at once. Chances are, I just got the apps confused in memory though. Thanks!

Coincidentally I was just listening to a podcast episode asking this very question. If anyone here used to listen to Reply All, it’s the new podcast from PJ. Only a couple episodes out, but this is titled “What’s going on with Elon Musk?” and talks about him, social media, and the convergence of the two. Podcast is called Search Engine, and I think it’s on all the usual platforms.

…this post kinda reads like an AI-generated plug, but I just really loved Reply All, and am hoping this fills that niche for me.

My friend group uses google the same way apple users use imessage. The implementation has changed many times over the years (google chat, sms integration, hangouts chat, whatever), but it’s always basically been the same thing and it’s usable from any device. That’s my main complaint about ~~signal ~~ and telegram: if I’m at home, forget using my stupid tiny phone, lemme do it from my PC that I’m probably on anyway.

edit: tried to strike out signal, but it’s ignoring the formatting I guess.

As an American, the first half is in line with my experience. As far as group chats, we all use google for that.

You can, and I’m doing that right now. Logged into lemmy.ml through their site. However, I can see how one might be hesitant to log in through a 3rd party like this. It does look really nice, but I do wish it had a light mode as well.
