I agree. But I just don’t want to get out of bed and go upstairs to ensure the window is locked. I lock it 90% of the time…

Its usually just unlocked if I’m multitasking in the middle of the day

single incidents should not validate fears

And now you sound like my wife.

“Why not” is always the question for when someone doesn’t do something because of laziness.

Because its annoying and im lazy about it. I have to take the fan down and mess with our janky blinds. It’s a second story window and we have no kids or pets.

Why do I need to lock it? For kids we’re never going to have? Kids of my guests I’m never going to let into my locked office behind my monitors? For the possible robber that’s going to break in via a second story window in the back of our home that needs a ladder to get to when there are several easier access points?

Sometimes I don’t lock it. I often do. But she makes me double check my office window before sleep or leaving. That’s time wasted on sheer paranoia. I’d rather take those odds over wasting 5 minutes several times a week.

Laziness. I open and close them often to put up a fan.

Yeah, this is all statistics. My wife forces me to lock all the windows every time we leave or go to sleep. Even though the window in my office would require a fucking ladder to crawl inside of the window from the outside.

I told her it’s statistically more likely for somebody to pick up a rock from somebody’s yard and come in through the front of the house, then it would be for somebody to come in with a ladder at the back to crawl into the 2nd floor window.

Doesn’t matter, she still wants me to lock the windows.

I enjoy necromerger for a merge game. Very minimal ADs. Has a fun story and events.

Enshitification is common. Corps care a ton about social pressures and norms. They get swayed easily by public opinions.

This one is US Gov based so we’ll see how it plays out. They tend to be slower to move… Until someone starts slinging executive orders around to rip things out and tear them down.

Credit cards should be treated as utilities. They shouldn’t be able to restrict my legal purchases.

Fits the definition of the wealthy “moving their will throughout the world”

Yeah when I was a teen I always wanted to fuck in a park late at night but as soon as I became an adult I quickly grew out of it.

Probably because it’s land me on a sex offender registry. That and beds are comfy.

I pay about $0.21 USD/kWh and it feels pretty bad…

I’ve got a 2010s car and drive a rental in 2023. Really liked the new safety features but fuck all this scummy bullshit.

Nice. But I prefer this one.

I second this as a sandbox builder game. Self hosted a server and played with my wife for a few months. I feel like I barely scratched the full content of the game. Base building and taming/companions really is a delight. Especially building a full fortress with all the “staff” for the crafting stations.

Yes and no. You’re correct about people skipping seasoning while bulking up. Which is what this looks like based on the protein bottle in the background.

I’ve also spoken to someone in person and online that skip seasoning while just trying to eat healthier.

$90 for a gig

This is from people with the mindset of “food is fuel” and they’re trying to take the pleasure out of eating.

I mean I get it. You’re trying to eat healthy but you don’t have to punish yourself over it. I can make a fantastic salad with air fryer well spiced chicken.

Same

This seems most likely

Thank you for the clarification. I’ve always just searched TITLE light novel and it just comes right up when looking for the source of a graphic novel.
If I had the bandwidth I would start up novel translations myself, but alas my life is too busy to moderate and maintain it.
Thank you for your own efforts as a moderator and taking the time to clarify.

Edit:
I’m not good at using Lemmy search, but I figured out how to find my post here: Link
I found a discord server that was dedicated to the series I was talking about, but left it since I don’t like my discord cluttered.
I read like 20 different stories across Korean and Japanese authors. The bulk keeps me distracted enough to not have spare time to chat. Although I miss having people to converse with.
