MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about Marco Siffredi who died trying to snowboard down EverestEnglish8·5 days agoI am convinced that given enough time, the gene for Tries Crazy Shit and the gene for Has Mad Skills will converge.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto politics @lemmy.world•FEMA staff confused after head said he was unaware of US hurricane season, sources say26·6 days agoAnd have you ever seen a hurricane? Not on TV. Not on “satellite images” (which are just more made up computer pictures). I mean with your own eyes.
Indeed I have.
Hurricanes, nor’easters, the occasional derecho… a few tornados have been too close for comfort but nothing I could see. Have heard the freight train sound though.
Personally I blame those weird domes made of triangles. They’re definitely causing the weather. **removeds shotgun
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto Lemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.world•How it feels to get a text from a good friend (plot twist - BE the good friend!)5·6 days agoI try to be that friend. Mostly, people are too busy being wrung dry by “life” to respond.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?3·7 days agoI have not, but I have it mentally bookmarked for when I’m in a better head space. Thank you for the suggestion.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why?9·7 days agoI was okay that day, but lost it while reading The Shepherd’s Crown.
The Guardian and Ancient shields would auto-reflect beams, but still consume shield durability. Any shield could be used with the parry and not consume durability. (This goes for most if not all monster attacks.)
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•At this rate, carbon dioxide removal will never matter for the climate| The carbon dioxide removal industry is struggling to grow at pace needed to have a significant role in meeting climate targets8·7 days agoWell it’s certainly lacking in the boon category.
No, it’s not. No matter how much effort you put in, it will never be enough. The world is only satisfied when we’re dead, preferably of natural causes after wringing us dry of “productivity.”

MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto Nintendo@lemmy.world•What are you playing this weekend? 2025-05-30English4·9 days agoI’m not a huge fan of the Warriors format, but I had a good enough time with AoC. Some of the cut scenes gave me chills. I’m a little fuzzy about the DLC. I got it, and enjoyed it (don’t think I finished all of it), but I’m not sure I’d call it crucial. It’s just more game. It’s gone on sale a handful of times for the patient gamers out there. I’d wait until you’re done with the core game before trying to decide. If you’re still flowing, go for it. If you’ve had enough, let it be.
Been kinda wanting to pick it back up since Age of Imprisonment was revealed.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto politics @lemmy.world•Democratic Voters Choose Fighting Corporate Power Over Neoliberal Abundance 'Scam': Poll6·10 days agoIt’s a primary, vot for something, you’ll never have to hold your nose in a primary.
It’s a nice notion and all, but in far too many locations, people have to vote strategically even in the primary. Very specific example: my state has a gubernatorial election coming up this year. Red and blue primaries are loaded. One of the blue candidates is a lapdog for the state
mob bosspower broker. Another blue candidate is a sleazeball with money to have been running conservative talking point ads for the past two months. The rest of the field is a mix of middle of the road types and various levels of progressive. At least some of them are there to split the vote, which is historically what themob bosspower broker has done to protect his people (like, say, his little brother) from getting primaried once entrenched. Whoever survives the primary is likely going to do so with only ~30-40% of the vote. If I vote by platform, it’s effectively tossing my vote away. The only chance at avoiding the sleazeball or lap dog is everyone unifying behind some other (likely) moderate. Failing that, the governor’s race is going to mirror the presidential, with someone at best unlikable vs whatever the conservative grift machine turns out.And in other more local races, the primary is the election. Shit is that deeply embedded here. Being in a solid blue district has its upshots. Fair and open primaries aren’t one of them.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•Tesla dumping unsold Cybertrucks at mall parking lot and the city’s fed up10·10 days agoPlease don’t. There’s plenty of perfectly good electronics that can be ripped out and re-purposed, which will just release toxic fumes if burned.
Just hose everything down with a little salt water and let chemistry work its magic.
Certified hood classic. This one triggered an ex coworker so bad, the rest of us were desperately looking for a suitable plushie to adopt as the team mascot, “Big Brownie.”
Even the undercarriage looks like it hasn’t fully loaded into the environment.
