I got pulled over and the cop shouted “HELLO? Can you see me?”
Uh, yes?
“I’m asking because of the thick fog”
It was a cloudless sunny day. I stared at him blankly.
“Your fog lights are on. License and registration please.”

Autism@lemmy.world•Anyone notice how all (well intentioned) advice for autistic people is just "mask harder"?
1·4 hours agoIt turned out we could only live together when we were both masking and medicated.
When she went off her meds to get pregnant, it fell apart fast.
Still hurts, but it was the right decision.

37·11 hours agoWith my cat, it’s an invitation to play fight.
So I put on an oven mitt, tickle her belly and she clamps down on it and tries to kill it.
But she doesn’t extend her claws or actually bite down, and when I remove my hand she goes back to the position on her back. Which tells me she seems to enjoy it.

Sharks are older than the rings of Saturn.
Left one will close her eyes when you touch her.
Right one will close yours.

Technology@lemmy.world•New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device LevelEnglish
16·21 hours agoHell, let’s go one step further and force it on the user level:
Every time you want to access an online service, a government-appointed doctor comes to your house and does an X-ray of your clavicle to determine bone ossification, dental examinations, and a DNA methylation test to determine your biological age.

You have no idea how jealous I am.
I’d rather have 10 Luigis.
Why does your time machine copy you?
I hope you enjoy 90 teeth and 60 claws homing in on your family jewels.
This is my life. Whenever I lay down in bed, my cats will cover me.
It looks nice at first but it makes masturbation very inconvenient and often dangerous.

19·1 day agoI deliberately started masking less, and 6 months later my wife left me.
We will never see another Stranger Than Fiction, or Dead Poets Society or, Eternal Sunshine
Original movies like that are still being made, much much more than ever before.
Just not in Hollywood. And you won’t get a trailer for those movies fed to you by Youtube’s algorithm, you have to look for them yourself.
My recent favorites were Flow and The Outrun (both from 2024).
Edit: Using this comment to plug one of my favorite original movies of all time:
The Guard (2011)
(The first 2 minutes set the tone of the movie well)

Linux@lemmy.ml•what things would i lose or gain if i switched to linux?
1·1 day agoThere’s some options, but it’s not something I’d rely on to work.
In my experience, there’s about a 10% chance to get something running straight out of the box with Wine, 30% with helpers like Lutris.
With Steam it’s more like 90%, which is about the same as on Windows.

22·1 day agoGaming, cracks and mods would be the biggest issue. Linux gaming happens on Steam, outside of that you’re pretty much never guaranteed to get it running.
So if you have a large library of pirated games, Linux might not be for you.















Useless anecdote: My first girlfriend was Russian and immigrated to Germany with her family when she was 7.
“Verboten” was the first word she learnt to read in German, cause it’s written on signs everywhere.
