What does a washing dishes hobby entail? Do you have like a personal best or a preferred strategy?

Even that wouldn’t stop a stubborn narcissist.

Try to find some closely related topic that you find interest in that he can relate to. Maybe old music or some other electronics topic. Then your son can meet you in the middle.

Without commenting on the morals of feeling hurt or vindicated or whatever, I thought you might be interested in this Numberphile video that talks about this exact situation:

Many places have a classic resource that is full of free books that are funded by the government called libraries. You should check them out.

If you are looking for another game with the same feel, try Case of the Golden Idol. I genuinely thought it was the same developer until I looked it up.

That’s not really true when ads are in the mix

I don’t agree with the idea of wholesale copying all of reddit, but I really do like the idea of creating an instance and copying all the subreddits as empty communities, and then each of these communities can point people to the Lemmy equivalents (and block all other content).

The question is who would do this and how would it be curated?

It’s even worse than that because once you see that you just know that all they did was add the ability to mix and match ending tidbits like a damn sectional sofa and let math do all the work.

You can get to 16,000 different endings with something as small as 8 different unlockable characters that each have a unique ending.

My wife and have been playing the hell out of Diablo 4 (no pun intended). It has just enough elements from D2 that characters feel open and alive but is accessible enough for my wife (who would not have liked D2) to enjoy trying to come up with new builds.

Season 1 starts in two days and I’m very excited.

Other than that I’ve been playing Curse The Case of the Golden Idol. It is a sequel of sorts to Obra Dinn, but done in smaller scenarios that can be completed in 30 minutes or so each. I love going from what the hell is happening here too understanding fully all the implications in that time. Really feels like detective work.

Edit: don’t even know the name of the game I’m playing haha

It’s just red squares for me what does it look like to you?

The way that steam handles paid reactions seems fine to me.

We are starting to see the first drugs on the market that utilize the amyloid beta pathway in some fashion because research in the 90’s and 2000’s were absolutely convinced that this pathway was the lynchpin to the disease. My understanding of the disease (I studied biotech but not Alzheimer’s specifically) is that amyloid beta plaques are more of a side effect of whatever is really going on than the main show. And unfortunately the mechanism of dementia in general is not really well understood, Alzheimer’s included.

These sobering results are not really that surprising because treating the amyloid beta plaques after they have formed is sort of like trying to prevent spoiled meat by removing the maggots that have accumulated on it.

I agree with you from the context of YouTube, and perhaps I am misinderstanding Lemmy, but I don’t think it has any sort of similar engagement mechanism?

The issue with YouTube is the desire to push “engaging” content even if that content sucks or is actively incendiary.

The Reddthat instance that I’m on also has disabled down voting which I’m also all for. On Reddit, down voting very often became a tool for vocalizing what you disagreed with rather than a low effort or inappropriate post.
