I’ve never played D&D ever but the only draw for me would be being a DM. maybe I just don’t know enough about it.

6! hours? An entire month?

yes, I was using the famous example that broke the Fin De Ciele -era snobbery about art and the distinction between artist and artisan to make a point.

my point is that you can’t define it. So you say “should posts about the wheel be included?”

and the answer is if you exclude all things about wheels where do you draw the line? someone creates a new type of ball bearing that revolutionizes manufacturing, but thats not allowed because it’s a wheel? Someone uses a new archeological discovery about an ancient device to invent a modern one? No posts about cars, trains etc? No posts about waterwheel generated activity?

It becomes impossible to police.

So news of an online store doing shady shit constitutes as “tech news” because they run a web site?

So writing “R MUTT 1917” on a urinal and putting it in an art gallery constitutes as “art” just because they said it is?

etc etc

I was looking for this. every single time I type something on my phone I wish I had a blackberry still

they… do? it’s like the “what is art” debate. the answer is “whatever you want it to mean in that moment and it can be different in the next moment”

anything including and beyond hitting a nut with a rock to open it

if it annoys you to worship him they’ll do it twice as hard.

oh no, people talking about a thing that’s happening. God forbid someone should talk about the superbowl when it’s on.

i signed up at mba.com and it wouldn’t let me use a password because it contained a semicolon which wasn’t on the approved list of special characters, and then - get this - because I tried too many times to create a password - locked me out because I had “too many failed attempts”

I’m fairly techy myself, not the most techy but I can admin a Salesforce instance, write a wordpress plugin from scratch, I can get by in React…

I’ve found migrating from reddit to lemmy frustrating. I still don’t know if I’m doing it “right”. Ive not subscribed to anything, nor tried to track down my old communities on here because it all just seems tedious and needlessly complicated.

Threads is winning over Mastodon because you click a button and it’s Twitter but a different color.

I agree. I have it turned off for now because it was dumb seeing stupid porn, but I don’t mind reading about other adult topics, and self-tagging NSFW stuff is obviously capriciously applied. What would be inappropriate to some is not to others. It would be nice to be able to control that more granularly.
