I write a main function that is called by the name in main if block. I understand the reason behind it and also write name in main if blocks for utilities I import (eg utilities.py), which prints usage information to direct the user on how to use things properly.

It doesn’t make sense initially but I’ve gotten used to it. Doesn’t bother me anymore.

Choking on my own spit - coughing until I break a rib or a blood vessel

Should have gone to the farmers market

I saw a guy riding a bike with a dog in his backpack with doggles on

I got a recumbent exercise bike, a pawn shop tv, steam deck, and a steam controller. I play whatever is loaded on my deck while I bike, usually for about 30-45 minutes at a time.

Right now I am playing Fall Guys while I exercise, as it keeps me entertained on survival for ~10 minutes per game.

I like your style, internet stranger.

We’re just circling a big drain

That is one of the things that makes lemmy unique - if you want to, you can spin up your own instance and make a community. It can even be the same name!

I am all in on decentralized social media at this point. I really dislike the ads, astroturfing, and fake accounts meant to boost brands.

I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.

Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.

This is specific to gaming, which it does great at. I’ve been running Ubuntu since late 2023 with no issues.

Every moment of your life, you have been traveling through space and time. Even in the time it takes you to read this comment, you have passed through vast distances on the rock we call Earth.

The federal debt will balloon without blue states paying into the coffers, though? Quality of life will take a shit

Let’s take a bite out of crime

I am one of the few Ubuntu gamers. Please don’t hurt me.

I’m not an expert on the topic and don’t claim to be. I only first learned about it by watching a youtube series by Terry Crews called “Dirty Little Secret” where he admits he had this problem and how it affected his marriage.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I did not say whether it should be banned or made difficult to find - I was pointing out the evidence that is out there that it is a problem for some people.

Please look over yourbrainonporn.com.

There is plenty of evidence that some people struggle with compulsory sex disorder. Porn addiction can lead to erectile dysfunction. Many on the internet won’t admit it and will down vote any discussion of the topic for some reason.

Yes, if it is a tax on speculation, investments, and gambling. I can get behind it being a trickle down system that the wealthy can’t opt out of.

It feels like politics in America is a game of team sports. Red vs Blue. No compromising, you either win or lose.

I built a new PC last year and bought a copy of Windows 11. Holy moly the login process required so much bullshit that I skipped through. It also every few days tries to get me to go through it again. After learning about all the Spyware and other bullshit I decided to just take the plunge back into using Linux as a main OS.
