I was sort of like this before, not really caring too much about most movies or TV shows, but that was just because I had higher standards to what I would be willing to take the time to watch. When I did find something I thought was worth my time, like for instance Full Metal Alchemist (yes I know it's an anime, it still counts as a TV show imo. Also it's great, I definitely recommend watching it). The general decrease in quality and increase in quantity of shows and movies just made me stop caring to watch really anything; why take a chance with a likely shitty show or movie when I can get much more fun out of playing video games? I know there's likely some "hidden gem" kind of show that nobody really talks about because it's hidden away in all the crappy shows, so I usually only decide to watch something if I've heard good things about it more than once. Even then, I may still not watch it, like for instance One Piece, which I've heard is incredibly long.

Dear god, just yesterday I had to wait pretty much an entire day just for ungoogled-chromium to compile, and I have 8 cores with 16GB of ram. I can't imagine having to do that with just 2GB of ram with 4 cores.
Those bracketed words immediately made me think of Spamton from Deltarune.
Honestly, that would have to be Oneshot, and it was amazing. All I can really say without spoiling it is that it's somewhat like Undertale in terms of enjoyment, at least for me.
Undertale and Oneshot spoilers
Although I would prefer that the emotional tension in Solstice was kept with more side stuff that you could mess up and have permanent consequences. What I liked about Undertale is how your actions truly felt like they mattered in the long run. Go from town to town killing everyone? The other's will know and hate you for it. If you instead give everone mercy, never killing a single soul, those actions won't matter until the end. And by then, you'd be glad to have done it. So, the way you play truly mattered, and affected the game's perception of you the player. In Oneshot, I initially thought that my actions truly mattered, but found out quickly that they didn't. The story remains the same no matter what actions you take. That took away from some of the impact the game had. I still cried during Solstice, though.
I'm pretty sure there's only been one time I broke my install, which was on an Ubuntu distro. This was on my old laptop, and it's partitions are interesting because I have 1 main partition and 2 others (the first was my windows partition, before it stopped working for whatever reason and I thought it couldn't be fixed. The second was the install that I broke).
Anyways, I remember I was trying to run some command, I can't remember what, but I knew it kept eventually saying "Permission Denied" at some point. This was like 4-5 years ago, so again I don't remember the details, but I'm certain I would've known to try sudo, but that didn't work for whatever reason.
I remember trying really hard to get this command to work, but it wouldn't, so I got so frustrated that I just went to /usr and ran chmod -R 777 ./. I honestly didn't think this would break anything. Why would it? Surely relaxing the permissions on some files won't break anything? I mean, the only time an error could occur is if I restricted the permissions, so relaxing them shouldn't do anything.
At the time, I didn't know about setuid, which is a permission flag that is important for allowing one user to run a command as a privileged user (like root, for example). So, what probably happened was I removed the setuid on /usr/bin/sudo, effectively breaking sudo. At the time I didn't know what I had done, though, so hence I didn't know how to fix it, so I just reinstalled Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, I haven't played much of the classic games like the ones these characters are allegedly from, I usually play indie games. So, pretty much all of these went over my head until I got to the Halo one. I immediately knew this was lying because I know that quote is from Duke Nukem (I'm not implying I've played Duke Nukem, though, I've just heard of that quote).
Although, even though I've played pokemon before (like, once, years ago, but still), the fucking "Ash Ketchum is the hero from the Pokemon games" went over my head, and I feel embarassed for not realizing it's bullshit.
You might actually be right, from what I've heard. Fever, like vomiting and diarrhea, does seem to actually serve a purpose for the immune system. This doesn't mean you shouldn't take anti-fever medications if you have a dangerously high fever, obviously.
Note, I am not a doctor, so take this with a grain of salt.
It's on lemmy.ca, which is a different instance than sh.itjust.works, surprisingly. That's probably your mistake.
That makes sense. I just thought he had something against Youtube (and for good reason), since he only said "Not watching a YT video" instead of "Not watching a 20min video".
You could always use Invidious or Piped (instance list here) to avoid using YT directly if you want. You won't get any ads or anti-adblocker bullshit with Invidious, so I usually use that. I'm not sure about Piped, but it seems good too. Unless your point is to simply stop using YT for anything, in which case just ignore what I said.
EDIT: To the now 8 of you who downvoted me, just, why? No, seriously, why. If you downvote me, please at least tell me why you are instead of downvoting and leaving. It makes me anxious to think that I was a dick or spreading misinformation or just being rude and not even noticing it, and would much rather have someone say something to me so I can at least know what people don't like. That's not to say I would agree with it, I might not, but I'd rather know what the problem is so I can agree or disagree.
If by that you mean that the lead was naturally added when it was growing and not during any processing stages, then see https://lemmy.world/comment/4831887. According to an article I found, most of the lead seems to be coming from the the cocoa being processed, not from when it was first grown. Although, it IS only one article, so I may be wrong.
I mean, it IS Netflix, so it shouldn't be presumed to be better in any way. Still, I will try pirating it first, rather than giving Netflix any money beforehand only to find out it's crap.
