Snakes, rats, sharks, and pigs. These are all beautiful animals, but describe terrible humans. These animals don’t deserve the association. I agree with you, and maybe we should stick to double-crossers, snitches, shysters, and cops or find other catchy names that work.

Better is one way to put it. Though I may end up homeless again if I can’t find some work soon. I just had a ton vet bills for a sick pet come in and I injured my leg, it’s not super great prospects at the moment. :(

I really don’t want to describe too much as my identity could be found from it, but it helped that it was all over the news. Before anyone realized that it was me, people were trying to intimidate me from the cells by yelling things at me. Once people found out that the news was about me, things turned around fast.

I was homeless, and also briefly in jail for doing something others had respected; jail sucks and is never preferable, but it certainly made things a lot easier than it would have been had I not entered with respect. On my first day I was receiving gatorades, instant noodles, and muffins from people stopping by my cell. I even was given all the paper and pencils I wanted to do my art.

Homelessness was risky, but I would still choose it over jail with respect. Not to say that the sacrifice wouldn’t be worth it if you did the right thing.

In my opinion reddit was bad because of the closing of the source, and centralization and administration by a single corporation interested in profits, which results in the cesspool we know reddit as today. it wasn’t bad because of the format that lemmy replicates as a link aggregator, so I agree with you on this point.

I imagine that it is a particular crowd that is present on lemmy that holds on to this one, as I have not seen a Loss meme since 2011. Probably older americans working in tech is my best guess; especially those who consumed web comics from back in the day.

you’re right! hmm, I wonder how many pixel art games there are that have eventually evolved into a different form like 2.5D or even 3D

Noita, Streets of Rogue, and Dwarf Fortress are some of favorite games.

I haven’t played it, but Animal Well looks great.

It’s not a pixel game, but because it has Sims 1 graphics, I think Project Zomboid should get a special mention.

I have seen it with my eyes. I was homeless and travelling in canada and needed an emergency extraction and heard that there is a dentist volunteering to do extractions for free. I went there, and they had 4 chairs being prepped by volunteer nurses, as the dentist went from one chair to another in a circle doing a quick extraction as each chair was replaced with a new patient. They may have even been going faster than 5 per hour.
