For privacy to have inherent value, it first must be an established, inherent right. Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn’t talk about it to my knowledge. I’ve always inferred that our rights against unlawful search and seizure basically encapsulate the concept, but whatever.

They also remember the before times, so they understand what was lost.

The best way to motivate is to build relationship and demonstrate a sense of excitement or at least show real-world connection to content. Relationship is the key, though. Students will care more about anything you say if they trust that you care about them.

We owe each other a lot.

What Utopia do you live in where the reason doesn’t end with “which means we won’t be able to line the pockets of our friends’ companies?”

Drive-through window clerk gets thanked a lot, too.

I’ve been using the patched Reddit Sync. Reddit is dead. I can’t put my finger on it, but the place has definitely changed.

A new house for my aging parents with no stairs.

Cognitive dissonance is an impossible nut to crack for anyone but the person experiencing it. Just say your piece with no expectations; at least you will know you are honest, and you never know - even a tiny crack can shatter the bubble. Probably won’t.

Jimmy, you got nuthin’ but rocks ‘tween yer ears if you think you can go cowboyin’ with no cows.

My excitement is palpable

Homelander, “super terrorist” is the company’s preferred nomenclature.

Good call on The Stanley Parable; it does have a similar fun, nonsensical style like the old Lucas games. Disco was very interesting and I enjoy the Tell Tale games, but those don’t really scratch the same itch. The others I’m ignorant about.

At any rate, those old gems still feel like the pinnacle of the genre to me.

I think those adventure games deserve the accolade considering they really were the pinnacle of the genre, and it hasn’t even really continued since then.

This is really all that needs to be said.

I’m very hopeful for the future of Lemmy. We stand at a turning point for Internet culture right now. It’s time to turn away from the curated big boys and return to the open liberty that the old days were all about. I think Lemmy can be the vessel and it seems to be a touch more active every day.

Only those that lack humility and/or fail to acknowledge privilege.

The slightest hint of financial superiority. Snobbery, if you will.

“That’ll be $3,267”
