paddirn@lemmy.worldto Steam@lemmy.ml•Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist contentEnglish91·6 months agoThat must be why I have no idea what any of this is about. In the ~20 years I’ve used Steam, I almost never frequent the forums or use guides unless I have a game-stopping problem.
These are apparently called “Desire Paths”
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who post and comment hundreds of times on Lemmy, what is your job/occupation?English14·6 months agoThat’s perfect, that’s where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they’ll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who post and comment hundreds of times on Lemmy, what is your job/occupation?English64·6 months agoHomeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?
I find happiness getting lost in projects, projects being anything & everything from writing to designing to stuff around the house to whatever. Just something that gets me obsessed for at least a few days or weeks. I can’t predict when it will happen, it just has to be a sufficient problem for me to look at.
I also find happiness with some people, but that sort of happiness is unpredictable as well since people have their own lives going on and feelings can change over time. Getting too close to people though can just as easily make my life feel meaningless and make me depressed when things turn sour. I tend to crave affection and physical touch, so this is a hard one for me to just ignore this.
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of?English6·6 months agoForgetfulness. Think how forgetful people get after having lived a normal lifespan, now go for a few thousand+ years and you’ve probably forgotten whole centuries of your life. This is actually the premise of a solo journaling game Thousand Year Old Vampire, you have to cross out and forget memories as you progress through the game, just forgetting whole parts of your life.
Played it at launch and I’ve never had the desire to jump back into it since beating it the first time. I never had major issues with bugs or anything, the story was just on rails, there was no point in jumping back into it to play the same story all over again. Like yea, I guess they changed some systems and mechanics, but whatever.
Don’t stick your dick in crazy and whatever you do, don’t get married or buy a house together.

I detest the cold. I’m skinny enough that I have to wear long underwear basically constantly as it gets colder. The one potential upside to the environmental hellscape we’re creating for ourselves is that I may be able to stop doing that. Otherwise, winter is just annoying as hell, it’s such a stupid ass season.
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?English1·7 months agoYou kind of hum it as you’re sucking, bro says it actually makes the sensation feel better.
Occasionally I block users that are extremely bad for one reason or another. Honestly though, I have to block far more communities than users, and it’s mostly because of foreign languages. I have nothing against these communities, but if I can’t read any of their posts, they’re just noise. I’ve tried tinkering around with language settings, but for whatever reason I still seem to see at least one new one a week, and so I block it to clean up my feed. It just seems like something that should be easy, I’m a dumb American who only wants to see English communities, how hard is it to filter by language, or is this just a problem with my mobile client (Voyager)?
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?English772·7 months agoSucking my best friend’s dick. I’m sorry, but if my friend is having a bad day, giving him a bro-job is not gay.
Just got over that portion of being sick, but it’s evolved into a persistent cough now that’s hurting my abdomen I’m coughing so much. At one point I had to have two “stations” set up, a hot station for cooling down and cold station for warming back up. I would just bounce back and forth between the two as my temperature swung around wildly.
Just not using turn signals in general and lack of road etiquette is enough for me to judge people pretty verbally in my car, though nobody else ever hears it, so I guess it counts as a secret. You’re driving a machine that can kill people out of negligence, the least you can fucking do is show some common courtesy and signal what you’re intending to do with it and what direction you’re going to move. People have more common courtesy when they’re walking on the street and no danger to others, yet they moment they’re behind a wheel and much more dangerous, it’s like they have nothing but middle fingers for everybody else around them.
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What belief do you have two-sided opinions on?English4·7 months agoSame, I don’t necessarily think it prevents any crimes from happening, but there are some individuals who will provide nothing back to society that could possibly make up for what they’ve done, and their continued existence is a threat to those around them that have to deal with them on a daily basis.
BUT until the criminal justice system can be reformed or provide more equatable justice, I don’t know that we can 100% say everyone on death penalty deserves it. I don’t know how we fix it, but it shouldn’t be left to private individuals or groups to have to exonerate people on death row.
Because it’s considered “lewd” and “indecent” when I do it and I’m not allowed within 500 yards of schools anymore.
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one of your favorite genres of music and what's your favorite thing about it?English7·7 months agoMurder ballads. I don’t know that it’s a genre of music per se, so much that it’s a subject that people have sung about across different genres. It’s just so antithetical to what we normally consider music, normally it’s love songs and such. Epic examples include:
- In the Pines (famously covered by Nirvana)
- Violent Femmes - Country Death Song
- Mack the Knife (Louis Armstrong version is the best)
paddirn@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?English30·7 months agoIn English we’ll say, “Your other <right/left>”, depending on which direction the person is messing up.
If it was before I’d had my kids, probably. Now with my kids existing in the world, I’d essentially be deleting their existences too, so no.
