I get three seperate emails every single time I purchase something and pay digitally. It’s unfeasible to keep a zero inbox.

My local Public works committee has a habit of digging up asphalt roads to do water supply pipe repairs, and then filling them up with the rubble when they’re done. What category would such a road some under?

It is a good logo

Exactly. I stay away from EVE online because I know that if I start it, my life is over.

I used to play this game called RAGE many years ago. It was a first person shooter, with a bunch of late game overpowered guns, had a crafting system to make ammo and the like, shops to sell and buy said ammo, but had strict resource controls to keep it competitive and fun.

So I spent around four days tabulating values of every ammo and crafting material in the game, mapping out which in-game traders sold what and when, and then spent maybe the next three days just craft-selling the cheapest item, a wingstick(basically a boomerang) in the game.

Hundreds and hundreds of wingsticks, grinding like a little kid in a sweatshop. I made enough money to max. out capacity on every ammo capacity in the game. As a result I breezed through the endgame, and what was supposed to be a long, tough, engaging mission into the heart of the enemy turned into a caricature of a boss fight, and I probably spend more time admiring the environment design there than worrying about dying or running out of ammo. I think I ran out only on one ammo type, and in total I used only the three most powerful ammo types in the game.

A level I should have enjoyed and formed the neat little bow for that game to be wrapped in, turned into a comical doom guy-esque slaughter of the scariest enemy in-game.

I am truly my own worst enemy.

I shut up about this after I found the screen time page. I am equal parts happy and mad that it only shows the last 21 days of usage.

At this point, I’m open to all suggestions.

Imma be honest bro I don’t understand most of your comment

Nope. It was uncomfortable and I’d argue we played worse because of the discomfort. We were also pretty bad at the game so I think we wanted the socks with rubber bands as a scapegoat instead of accepting we were shit.

Bring out the guillotine!

Netflix did get screwed - their numbers increase is at low profit regions, meaning their operating costs go up while revenue increases only marginally compared to higher priced regions.

When playing football, to keep the socks from riding down our legs, we used to put loose rubber bands on top of them, near the top of the sock. Then to avoid the rubberbands from riding up above the sockline, we used to fold the sock over the rubberbands downwards. Then to avoid the fold from being undone during play another rubberband had to be put on top of the folded part.

Sounds similar to this. Just thought it was notable.

One of the points of the protest was to drive down engagement to the reddit website entirely. You searched for a problem, found that reddit no longer has the answers, and posted about your frustrations on lemmy, a direct competitor to reddit, driving up engagement on lemmy instead.

I’m pretty sure the protest is working just as intended, even after it “ended”.

I’m really sorry about your problem though. I wish I had the expertise to help, but I don’t.
