there is dorms at some unis but they aren’t very big. most people live at home or rent something nearby themselves

the proportion of terminally online losers who would actually waste their time doing it seem to be higher here than other places though

twisties make you gay, because life’s pretty straight without twisties

when I finished high school and was talking with friends about going to uni, a few of us were talking a out renting a place together when we got into uni to be close (instead of 2 hours away like we were). another friend we should never do that because people would think we are gay. obligatory he is a Christian fundamentalist who is highly likely gay himself

the recent avatar game is a great example of actually hitting the mark visually and superficially (probably one of the better looking games I’ve ever played) and the physics and gameplay in the world are pretty damn good. but people complain the story is boring. and yeah it’s not amazing. I don’t think it’s terrible, and it’s a game really built to explore the environment rather than complete missions.

it’s near impossible to get that perfect game that hits every single button possible. I truly think we gamers need to settle down a bit as a whole. Sure buggy messes that are unplayable are not something we should tolerate, but I think we need to stop treating everything that isn’t perfect as a pile of shit

the opposite for me

if I recall correctly, one of Melbourne’s major outbreaks was because one of the quarantine security guards was fucking a quarantined patient

Karl Pilkington. he would do a great job of complaining about every minor inconvenience I’ve dealt with

robin hood prince of thieves

they scam money out of innocent people, pay their staff peanuts and live a life of luxury. it would be an objectively good thing

my brother thinks we live inside the earth and the sky is a projection. not even kidding

for a bloke who likes to accuse people of being paedophiles, he sure is simping hard for an actual pedo

Test 587: test indicates likely probability that gravity exists, like all previous tests. Conclusion: more data points needed, schedule a new round of 500 more identical tests over the next year

Lucy. I know a lot of people didn’t like the ending, but the whole movie was utterly shocking I thought after she took the brain drug or whatever it was

I would do a lot more camping and cycling mostly. really give the bass a red hot shot. tackle my pile of plastic shame

convert it to $1 and $2 coins. get the best super glue I can for $12

buy a $1 bag of popcorn (go pop it at home)

glue the remaining $2 coin to the path somewhere visible and near a bench so I can watch.

sit, with popcorn, and watch people try to pick up the glued $2 coin for as long as I feel entertained

she’s not bad but there are better science/astronomy channels. I watch Anton Petrov religiously, I don’t think he even does sponsors

the funny thing is that this comment reminded me that phones are still actually phones! I make and take so few calls it’s easy to forget

I buy physical and obtain a digital copy later to chuck on the kindle. I enjoy reading physical books but time and life make it harder, plus I like to buy collectors editions where possible, they are not for reading (to me)

the problem with lemmy is your either a communist or fascist, with no in-between. it’s this rediculius polarisation that makes it not very fruitful to have actual conversations around here
