Well yes, for someone with OCD there are a plethora of behaviors that aren’t the same for them as for ordinary people. I think that would go without saying.

Ah.

I mean… steampunk pretends to emulate modern tech all with steam power. Not only is it so absurd that it’s funny and enjoyable, but aesthetically when bathed in art deco, it’s positively gorgeous.

But in terms of story…. Shrug, there are probably tons of sci-fi writers that have touched this kind of storytelling. I think Alan Dean Foster maybe had something like this, and/or Piers Anthony, maybe a few others I read many years ago. No recollection as to what actual books, sorry.

I typically search distrowatch for any need. Just use search filters. You’re likely to get the most comprehensive list in this way.

Nearly every activity should be preceded by and followed by a good handwashing. Keeps you well.

Is there any reason people still use lead solder? I mean… I use silver for jewelry soldering and I know silver and copper can both easily work well for electronics , so in what application is lead necessary?

I can firsthand attest to this. Big time. It’s the one thing I dislike.

I also would not think of it as filth, but I also love its absence in Lemmy. Because that stuff acts like an STD and spreads and grows, and I’d rather just leave it out.

I much rather that Lemmy remain the domain of people who want to use it because of how & why it differs from the commercial sites. Good! Then I can have a reasonable expectation of the demographics. The occasional shit mod notwithstanding.

Wait to boot? Back then I had a dozen machines all running 24/7 lol. But I guess the average user on the consumer side yeah.

Hey, I had a conversation on Matrix that one time!

And my Mastodon feed has TONS of content from George Takei.

Dude this is epic lol. Sadly many people won’t get the references :-)

Yeah your attitude makes sense to me. No worries. You somehow managed to get literally every assumption you made about me wrong. Congrats! It’s fine; maybe some people will read what YOU guys were saying, and be concerned that history is about to repeat itself because children who are the future would rather get their “knowledge” from YouTube than history books.

I don’t need you to agree with me, to respect me, or to actually understand the first thing about me. Others can read the hate and fear in all your words.

Again, have a very good day.

Wow so if I don’t accuse Israel of genocide, my comments get removed.

I’m warning you all, you’re becoming the fascism you accuse those republican bastards of being.

Censorship for not agreeing.

Do yourselves a favor kids: if you hope to have a future, open a textbook and stop getting your reality from YouTube. Many of you literally have no idea what’s true anymore. Open some textbooks while they still are allowed to exist.

Because now the extreme liberal are doing exactly the same as the extreme conservative.

Mods: SHAME ON YOU.

I’m replacing my comments because the forum doesn’t deserve them. I fully expect to be banned. That’s ok. I just hope some people see this and think for a moment.

Roughly but y’know I approximated.

I can’t even begin to understand why any of them do anything anymore. They’re all crooks anyway.

I tell you, I’m middle-aged, very intelligent, and left of center. I honestly think our species no longer stands a chance. How could we possibly stop the dystopia we’re already enthusiastically ushering in with a welcome mat? Seriously.
Although… I suppose maybe a dystopia is preferable to extinction. Slightly.

Well, let’s wait and see when it happens. There’s a first time for everything.
