You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

Jennifer Lawrence was quoted implying that The Hunger Games was the first female-led action movie ... today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite exceptions: The Long Kiss Goodnight. in c/movies@lemm.ee

I wasn't allowed to watch "violent" movies as a kid, so I missed a lot of action classics like RoboCop, Rambo, etc. But there were a few exceptions we had on tape so they got watched a lot. Long Kiss Goodnight, T2, Alien,... I rewatched this one again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how violent it actually is. It finally clicked that my single Mum was making an exception for iconic kick-arse women.

I just got into Cyberpunk 2077, and too many parts of it are leaking into the real world. This could be a Delamain interaction.

How many languages can you say Please and Thank You in? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Interesting, I seem to know "thank you" in a few languages, but not "please". I wonder what that indicates...

Spanish: por favor, gracias

French: sil vous plait, merci

Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

Mandarin: ?, xie xie

Japanese: ?, arigato

German: ?, danke

Italian: ?, grazie

Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)

Why do you use the distro you use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 9 points 9 months ago (9 children)

I haven't tried Bazzite yet, but I feel the same about the other ublue flavours.

I'm the most productive I've ever been. Tweaking everything was fun for a few years, but now I just need a distro I can trust, that comes with the tools to do anything.

I see rebases to Bazzite DX are available now. I might give that a go today.

My last place was directly over a karaoke bar. It was weird how the sound of drunk off key singing became a comforting sleep sound. I missed it when they shut down.

I could get that for you, but I won't. in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

I'm guessing you're not in Melbourne then, but Red Sparrow is a fully vegan pizza restaurant with a few locations there. Very good, from what I've heard.

True, but it already felt like a cheap shot. The highland cows are another one.

The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

Anybody remember the brief era when kids would steal school computer mouse balls? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

That's a good one.

We used to screenshot desktops, set it as the wallpaper, and move all the desktop icons to a temporary folder.

I've heard swapping the N and M keys is a good one because it doesn't register as unusual on a visual scan but messes up touch typists.
