Pool of $300,000 of cryptocurrency?

A developer of a top game can expect $25,000 in the cryptocurrency?

So they’re expecting, say, four “top” games for three weeks and then the pool is used up. Feels like a new evolution of crypto scam.

Sorta. I dreamt I had an imaginary family in which I was the only child. IRL I am one of seven kids, plus some cousins and other kids my parents informally took charge of.

I used to imagine getting new clothes and toys instead of hand me downs, and getting to go to first run movie theaters (too expensive with 7 kids at $10+ per ticket), and eating foods nicer than basic bulk nutrients (Lunchables were the pinnacle of unnecessary expense on food).

Now I am employed and financially self sufficient. I don’t think about the imaginary family. I do sometimes have trouble spending money on myself. I recently bought a new jacket for $40, very reasonably priced for what it is and the quality. I had in the back of my head for a good three days after buying it that I didn’t really need it and it was a waste of money. Maybe I need the rich imaginary version of myself to tell me to stop feeling like a class-jumping fraud.

I still have never had a Lunchables, but that desire is long gone.

No interest in it, I have a long list of other projects I would enjoy more.

Wait,blackmailed for dick pics as in “send me dick pics or else”, or blackmailed for sending dick pics, “yo, you just send nudes to a minor, give me cash or I’ll tell the cops”.

Yep, I have one for keeping friends and family updated on my travels without relying on FB/Insta/whatever. If interested, they can subscribe to my RSS feed. If not, I do it for myself and Sarvesh, a random (alleged) Indian man who thinks I am very beautiful and wants to marry me.

If a gathering seems like maybe a host gift situation but maybe not, skip presents for the human hosts and get something for their pets. Picking out wine for a gift would give me hives, everyone will be much happier with treats for the dogs.

I’ve seen three at my state’s Capital building. All three got about 5 seconds of local media coverage and zero national media coverage.

Simply a realistic statue showing how fucking weird he looks and stands.

His body looks like the front half of a centaur.

You assume they care about truth as an ideal to uphold.

Their optimization model is set to maximize power and wealth for their people. Truth is a tool to use or discard as needed in reach of their goal. It makes perfect sense, just not within the logic and morals framework you or I would use.

I knew it as arm wrestling growing up. And what most call arm wrestling (hands clasped, elbows on table), was hand or wrist wrestling.

Keep reading. It’s not saying all Westerners migrating are extremists. It says extremists, like neo-Nazis, are among the Westerners migrating.

Yeah, but as government officials. Not as shareholders. Like through a warrant or whatever official process Italy uses.

Can I buy a few shares and get the same access? That would be insane.

I can’t smell bad milk either. Also can’t taste it.

I learned just how bad it was when I polished off a bowl of cereal, made a bowl up for my Person with the same milk I’d just consumed, and they spit it out thinking I was playing an awful “prank” on them. I had to convince and demonstrate that no, I can’t detect spoiled milk until it’s visibly bad.

I’m in the same boat; I can’t smell spoiled milk. Partially that, partially I don’t really like dairy milk that much, I drink plant-based milks now. When I open a new container I mark the date on it with a sharpie. Then I throw out any remainder after 14 days (or whatever the bottle says plus some).

Sweet. Thanks for your efforts, RM. Your For Reddit app was my favorite by miles and I appreciate you continuing to offer it on the Lemmy side.

Folks, this is an app worthy of the few bucks to unlock features and support the developer.

I use Voyager. Lockout specs for me when selecting an app were ability to apply a custom tag to users, and firmly holding my default view/sort settings.

I started on Boost for Lemmy after using Boost for Reddit. But I was having some issues with it and it’s not actively updated anymore. Not sure if the creator is done with the project or just busy with something else, but I just checked and it still shows the last app update was in July 2024.

I don’t scambait in general. One, I have so many options for entertainment that give me more joy than responding to scammers. Two, I assume much like robo phone calls, the initial communication itself isn’t the scam, it’s to see who responds so their contact info can be put on a list for further targeting.

Do you know anyone who actively uses Facebook anymore? Not Instagram.

I’m in the US, East Coast, and know no one here who does. I believe I still have one aunt, ages 55+, living in the Midwest, who still uses it. She’s very much the stereotype, she’s been sucked into believing COVID is a conspiracy, all immigrants are dog-eating rapists, and trans people are going to break in to watch her pee in her home bathroom. She represents the average US Facebook user in my mind.

A male colleague was upset he saw a new, wrapped tampon inside another colleagues purse the other day. Like, stopped in his day to complain out loud levels of upset. When he could have just … moved along or even not peeked inside her purse sitting on her desk.

Of course women are and still will face our very existence being censored. Men are the default, women are “other”, and always at the whim of men for just how much they will be allowed to exist in public.
