Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We need a word for "literally" that doesn't also mean "not literally"English

Why? Does fungus need a reason to give you jock itch?

Way ahead of you.
I was recently reminded of Shining in the Darkness for the Mega Drive and got super nostalgic. I might have to play that again.
The same thing recently happened to me with Descent 3. I’d never played Descent 1 or 2, so I figured if I was going to replay Descent 3, I ought to play the other two first, so I’m currently working my way through Descent 1.
But more to the heart of your question:
- Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force
- SimCopter (super buggy, but fun none-the-less.)
- OpenTTD
- Mindustry
- Luanti
Exactly.

And even if the lawsuit wins, you know the fines are a) going to be paltry b) mostly not going to go to those affected… which is everybody, basically.

2·12 days agoNot sure if this is a joke or not, but I’m an only child.
I was involved in quite a few organizations for homeschoolers, and the “peers” I refer to were kids I knew from those sorts of things:
- I attended a weekly “co-op” ran by homeschoolers’ parents where they’d teach various subjects. The one parent who was fluent in Spanish would teach Spanish. The one who was really passionate about history taught a history class. They’d also purchase frogs to dissect and have 20 kids or whatever dissect frogs (because it’s a) not so easy to get formaldehyde-preserved frogs in quantites much less than that and b) a lot of the parents just wouldn’t want to have to deal with that because it’s icky and were happy to have someone else’s parents have to deal with that while still ensuring their kids had the experience and learned what there was to learn from that exercise). Things like that.
- I took a few classes at a local private (Christian – very Christian) school that allowed homeschoolers to attend just one class here and one class there if they and their parents wanted. (The founder of that school had an affair with a secretary. The two of them kindof disappeared and got married, leaving the school without leadership, after which folks started to realize he was kindof a pathological liar and grifter from the start. Heh.)
- I was in a symphony for homeschoolers for a while. (Played violin.)
- There was also a homeschool chess club that I attended for a while.
There were a few other things that I didn’t attend but one or two times. Not enough to really get to know anyone there. And I’m probably forgetting one or two things. But you get the idea.

3·13 days agoNot ACE specifically. I actually hadn’t heard of ACE until you mentioned it.
Most of my peers did some combination of Abeka and Saxon curricula, with a smattering of whatever TF the annual “homeschool convention” had available to sell. And yes, the “science” curriculum always had at least one chapter on how stupid “mainstream scientists” are for believing the universe is more than 6,000 years old. (And some books were nothing but that stretched to the length of a text book.) And those chapters loved to quote Ken Ham and shit. My parents were in some ways less fundie than most of my peers, and they told me to skip that chapter. Lol.

19·14 days agoI was homeschooled for most of K-12, and all my peers were crazy fundies. I have so many stories.







Does it matter? Either way, it’s just a symptom of the hype/bubble around “AI” lately.
