I would watch a sitcom about Luigi, and the series starts off with him being found not guilty. So they lock him in with a guy doing life. Their idea is to release him in 40 days. They think the life sentence guy will kill him. They assumed thats what would happen.

Instead he and his cell mate become lifelong friends, and the style of the show changes from gritty and dramatic, to being shot like an 80s NBC sitcom, with a studio audience.

Except it takes place in a comedy version of a jail. And it starts and ends every episode the same way. They wake up in their cell, and they go to sleep in their cell.

Cue the freezeframe, roll credits, as a studio audience gives forced applause that kind of drags, and you can tell some guy is waving his arms like “CLAP LOUDER!!!” and they’re all just thinking “how long do we have to clap???”

Oh. Didn’t realize the contracts were just 6 months long. I thought they were more like 10 years or something.

Depends on how long the contract is, and who the administration is when that happens.

That may all be true and all, but other services aren’t one guy.

It would be like signing up for a fediverse instance, which uses closed source software, and it’s just one guy running the service for a small amount of people.

I don’t know who runs Lemmy.world, but at no point do I think the admins are targeting me, to read through my inbox. My judgement says that’s not what the admins are doing with their time.

But this myspace clone had 300ish registered members on a single centralized closed source platform being run and created by one guy with zero oversight. I can’t say that he created the service specifically to spy on people, but it certainly doesn’t pass the sniff test.

ain’t Facebook just Myspace but “better”?

Get.

Out!

Weird. Youtube doesn’t do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.

No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of “Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!”

Or

“Ubuntu just can’t compete with Linux!”

And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you’d ever seen.

Maybe it doesn’t suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.

Then there’s the weird videos. Not AI. Just…weird.

Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying “pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese…” while making squishing noises with the cheese.

But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.

I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.

Well hot damn! Thank you! I fiddled with this for 30 minutes the other night. I even deleted all data. I even uninstalled, redownloaded, and reinstalled.

I would have never guessed that you need to beat it in normal mode first to then do challenges mode. I would have stumbled upon it, after casually playing. And then maybe a week later trying to figure out how to unlock challenges, only to discover them already unlocked. Then I’d be REALLY confused.

But at least now I get what I need to do. I get whats going on, and it works!

Oh, one slight correction though. You don’t need to beat the stage. Just play it. After reading your reply I decided to try beating 1-1 and 1-2. Then I died on 1-3. I was expecting to see 1-1 and 1-2 unlocked with 1-3 still locked. But 1-3 is unlocked too.

So, thank you for the info so I can stop being frustrated. I at least know now I need to play every level at least once, so I can play challenges mode! And I assume that’s also why most of the boo levels were locked.

Intellectual nepobabies? I don’t know what that means! These words challenge me, and I want no part of that! Nooooope! I will not think about such things! I mean really! What even is “nepobabies”? Did you mean “muppet babies”? Because they stopped making that show a while ago…

I thought that was facebook?

looks around at a world run by pedophiles, fascists, and abusers

…yeah, but is that really the worst idea?

They all get nukes.

There is a myspace clone I saw about 2 years ago. I was new to the fediverse. I THOUGHT the myspace clone was part of the fediverse. It wasn’t.

I was going to join, but turns out this service was not open source. It’s not part of the fediverse. It’s essentially just some guy running the service, and can freely read anyones messages.

So I didn’t join. But if there were an open source federated version of myspace? Yes. I would join.

Hey, I got a question for you. If you go to challenges, you should see 1-1. Next to it, is 1-2. I beat 1-1. I got the 5 red coins. I got the yoshi egg. And I got the score.

So all 3 objectives are done.

Why can’t I unlock 1-2?

Here’s what I think the world needs.

Every citizen in every country gets 10 atomic bombs.

Ok so you falsely arrest this man. You don’t release him now, because he’ll just go get his atomic bombs.

But now his brother or his wife, or whomever, ALSO has atomic bombs. And they demand his release or else.

So NOW whenever anyone tries to do anything, they have to think. Will this make them use an atomic bomb?

And suddenly, police are a lot more careful. Corporations switch their gosls from profit, to citizen utopia. Can’t make anyone mad ever.

And in a strange way, I find that to be far more peaceful. Nobody is an asshole or a bully anymore, because we’ll ALL be blown up if one person snaps.

Maybe others are afraid of MAD. I was born into it. Raised in an environment where they say the russians could bomb us at anytime, and almost did multiple times.

I was raised to have nuclear bomb drills where they sound a siren, and thousznds of kids rushed into underground bunkers. We had fire drills, and tornado drills, and atomic bomb drills.

I imagine the kids who are like 20 today, are almost immune to fear of public shootings, because they grew up in the school shooting drill days. These kids could walk into a warzone, and dodge bullets like NEO. But nobody would even shoot a gun if anyone anywhere could nuke you.

Chloe, Chloe, Chloe

We saved you from being interred

Now you’re out eating a turd

I yell but you are undeterred

Maybe it’s just me, since I didn’t realize Amy Winehouse was a singer, so I don’t know Amy Amy Amy…

But when I read your lyrics, I hadn’t realized this was about a dog. I thought Chloe was the woman who covered her nose when trump shit himself.

I live in ohio. Food not taxed, drinks are.

In OHIO.

Yeah, Ohio has its shit together more than your state.

Green held up a sign reading “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES” — a reference to a racist video Trump’s account posted this month.

Honestly, I had no idea trjmp called black people apes recently. I saw the sign, and it really didn’t even need explaination. Sign could have been made 6 years ago, and everyone would still get it.

Learn from history??? The Americans??? Oooooh, I have some bad news for you. Most Americans can’t read.

He MAKES…them pay!
