Only coca-cola™ will be allowed for drinking, and Gatorade to water the plants of course (it's got what plants crave).

Was also coming in to recommend mirrors edge, what a great game.

I assume these are mostly just bad/impossible translation of finer nuances from the Japanese.

Sorry, I don't want to be shitty, but I found his joke much better, because I understood and laughed right away without needing disclaimers, spoiler texts or to click any links, it was direct and to the point.

Yeah I can definitely fit all that twice over in my little Peugeot 208, probably more. And it's electric too! And cost maybe 1/10th the price!

It's an arms race, it's all silly and I mostly have made the choice of not participating, even if it's definitely making my career harder, but if you are trying to participate, what else are you gonna do when everyone else is doing it I guess?

I'll try! Thanks for chiming in I appreciate it.

I'm mid-thirties, so about 30 years I guess in theory, unless I need it for something earlier. Doesn't help me feel better right now, I'm also going through a massive depressive episode at the moment for unrelated reasons and this is just compounding it..

 

Hello fellow Lemmy investors. I need to vent/seek advice...

I'm passively invested to what is (for me) a big amount in VWCE... The beatings have been rough since trump took office and a good chunk of my profits have already been wiped out.

Due to a change in careers 2.5 years ago (starting my own business), I've not had as much income as I used to and have not been adding to the fund since then. This fund is my "do-not-touch" fund, I did have cash savings on the side, a decent chunk of which has gone into investments in my business, vehicle, etc.

I'm not wiped out yet and still in the green, and I still have a rainy-days worth amount in cash savings, but if this fuckery is gonna keep going, that won't last much longer I guess. My fund is all-world so it's supposed to rebalance if the US shits the bed (which is why I went for that rather than the traditional S&P500 indexes), but still it's getting beat pretty hard meanwhile. I'm in Europe if that matters.

I don't know what to do, my strategy would say to ignore this and stop looking at the app, but also I can't help being nervous and I really don't want to start seeing my hard-earned savings that I'm keeping for my kid/retirement go in the red...

We're in sync then, your initial comment made it sound like you thought any camera work was not creative by default. As I said to the other guy I should've used a different phrasing to clear out the confusion around tool/artist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You're entirely right, I should have phrased it differently.

Cameras aren't creative?.. Guess we need to tell all the photographers and filmmakers out there...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah this is the remote shooting app, for camera control, it'll use Bluetooth to establish connection with the camera and then switch to WiFi for live view.

 

I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.

I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?
