Mellow@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Incoming!English141·12 days agoThis is all I wanted for VII. You fans of tactics are lucky.
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Parents should have their children's consent before letting a new adult move into the house.English9·14 days agoGood parents take care of their children, and provide a safe home to live in; however the children do not have an ultimate say. A good parent would have a discussion to explain the situation and also be sure the person moving in is safe to have around the children they’re responsible for, but ultimately the grownups pay the bills, put clothes on the children’s backs, and put food on the table. If the child feels entitled to an equal share vote in the household decisions then expectations should be managed.
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•We shoild stop calling tourist or commercial space flights "missions".English6·17 days agohistory of the word mission
mission(n.) 1590s, “a sending abroad” (as an agent)
…
General sense of “that for which one is sent or commissioned” is from 1670s; meaning “that for which a person or thing is destined” (as in man on a mission, one’s mission in life) is by 1805.
Meaning “dispatch of an aircraft on a military operation” (by 1929, American English)
was extended to spacecraft flights (1962), hence, mission control “team on the ground responsible for directing a spacecraft and its crew” (1964).
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.zip•Apple Watch and Apple TV operating systems to receive major design changes at WWDC alongside iOS 19English2·22 days agoSo I bought an Apple TV box like 6 months ago. The reason was that I was tired of the advertisements on the Android TV devices, and with every update they get slower and slower (except for the advertisements loading). I don’t have time to modify these devices above baseline stock. I have battled all kinds of “bugs” in the apps that I use regularly because of the differences between the development and capabilities on the two platforms. I still use my Apple TV even though the bugs persist, but if they add a goddamn advertisement to the iOS I will drop this motherfucker in the fires of Mount Doom without a second thought and go back to android and just use an alternative launcher.
I saw this on my feed about a month ago. https://youtu.be/c-y_qrzWEcg

Mellow@lemmy.worldto Texas@lemmy.world•Newborn twins born in Houston among four kids deported with motherEnglish219·6 months agoTell me which article and section of the US constitution makes them citizens? Not disputing it. Just want you to cite. I think I found the vague section you might be referring to. It doesn’t cover illegal aliens.
Mellow@lemmy.worldto The Onion and other satire w/ layers@sh.itjust.works•‘No way to prevent this,’ says only nation where this regularly happensEnglish535·6 months agoRaise your fucking crotch fruit correctly?
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Counter-Drone Systems For Yachts Are Growing In PopularityEnglish2·6 months agoWhat about international waters 3+ miles off the coast?
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Discuss@discuss.online•Could Discuss.online become the go-to USA instance?English1·6 months agoSome people get the nuance and abide. Some people get the nuance and choose to troll. Some people really do not get it due to an inability to understand social concepts. ‘Mental reasons’. The latter cannot be expected to possess common sense.
Mellow@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•26-year-old arrested in UnitedHealthcare CEO's killing was born and raised in MarylandEnglish316·6 months agoEveryone please upvote this comment above. I want the mods to see this person calling for bad intentions on someone making minimum wage and turning in a murderer for a not insignificant reward.
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy.World ToS and the murder of the UHC CEOEnglish714·6 months agoThat option was never off the table. It would make it easier for those of us who prefer justice over murder to block the community of those who want society to devolve into chaos and anarchy. Those who call for violence and some half assed revolution. I don’t need you here.
I’m tired of hearing people espouse their basest thoughts only to come up with murder is justified. It took you two seconds to come up with that? What happens next? When the tribe has devolved to a point where even they could be the target who will be there to say maybe we went too far. Well the line was passed miles ago and you didn’t even realize you crossed it.
All this has taught me is that we have a severe morality and ethics problem. It probably happened about a generation ago. I wonder what stopped being instilled or taught (or who did the teaching) to cause this devolution. That’s what I’m worried about right now.
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Google@lemdro.id•Google pushes back against federal supervision of its payment armEnglish1·6 months agoMe doth thinks they protest too much.
Mellow@lemmy.worldto Star Wars@lemmy.world•Dave Filoni is currently writing Ahsoka season two, which is set to begin filming next yearEnglish4·6 months agoI liked season 1. Sabine came across as spoiled and annoying in the early episodes. Probably could have handled that differently. We got Thrawn, and we got the Nightsisters. Cool. Ezra was a bit disappointing. Meh. The space whales are kinda weird, but whatever. Plot devices. We got a couple of great scenes from Hayden which was a good fist pumping moment. I hope season 2 is better. I’d like to see Snips show a little more personality closer to her character from the clone wars series, or at least make me believe she’s the same character.
Bob Parr not ‘Paar’. Easily mistaken if you’re from Russia or not from a western country.
Someone has to work. Someone has to produce. If you don’t want to work and yet reap the rewards off of the backs of others that have have wrought, then you’re no better than a leech. A parasite. A drag on society.
Yeah. That’s awesome. People making nearly 8 times the average income should pay more taxes, but all this is going to do is persuade people making 500k/year to move out of state and then the state will lose 100% of that chunk of tax. They should just implement a flat tax and be done with it. Everyone pays the same percentage of their income. People making under X$/year pay zero. No other loopholes.
