Sunk cost fallacy is probably the most obvious one that springs to mind. Not unlike gambling in a sense, people feel they just need one big payout to win it all back and then some, so they keep betting, hoping that this time things will go in their favour.
I always knew it as zee growing up. It worked in the rhyme.
“W, X, Y and Zee, now I know my A B Cs, next time won’t you sing with me” (that last line is probably a separate argument on its own 😂).
Then Dragon Ball Z hit Australian TV and it was done after that.
In my defence, I felt fine 😂 It’s just I have a memory gap where one minute I was sitting up, and the next I was staring at the roof with Mum panicking nearby. So don’t know what happened but it just didn’t go well.
I’ve had to do blood tests since then and they generally go okay as long as they can find a vein, but haven’t donated since that happened.
Pretty sure I’m O+, I’ve got that basic blood. But I got blacklisted when I was younger from donating, first time I went in I managed to get knocked out and go into full convulsions (unfortunately was there with my mum and it traumatised her for a bit afterwards 😅). Few weeks later I got a letter basically telling me thank you for coming but please don’t come again.
It’s what plants crave, it’s got electrolytes!
Just Fine #7 was last in case anyone needs to know.
Top 4 was paying about $750k 😮 If only we knew the numbers in advance, that would pay my mortgage!
Now begins the long wait for them to announce the most important position, who finished last. Don’t care who won, I need to know if I get my money back in our cup sweep 😂
It used to in the past. It was removed in the 0.19.0 release. This is the pull request that took it out (I think).
This thread has some of the reasoning for it, but at a high level the Lemmy devs made a call that the benefits a karma system provide didn’t outweigh the problems a karma system can cause.
Awesome, I’ll add you if I see you both 😊 I’m Drusenija Ravenfall on Ravana (not to be confused with the character with the same name on Sophia, Bismarck and Balmung, who admittedly are all my alts, but not my main!)
And thank you for the gil offer but I’m under control there, I’ve got at least two FCs worth of submarines taking care of the bank balance! I’m gonna need to do a bunch of parts upgrades soon though 😅
Haven’t played BG3 yet though; I mean to but just haven’t found the free time. FF7 Rebirth is the only non FFXIV game I’ve played this year I think outside of more casual stuff like Fall Guys. Have gotten pretty comfy in Eorzea.
And I cannot wait for the FFXI alliance raids, I played that game for at least 10 years back in the day, and the latest patch trailer with the opening music for the game playing in the background was just perfect. That better be an orchestrion roll!
Because your brain now remembers it needs to breath and not to eat 5 day old bread! Remember to thank your sleep paralysis demon for the good advice 😊
I started playing just before Endwalker came out so I basically played everything through together all the way through to the Endsinger, so didn’t really have proper separation through any part of it. Dawntrail is my first experience of playing a single expansion at a time (and it sucks, I want to mainline more MSQ dammit, none of this waiting another 2 years for a new expansion!)
I main healer so I’ll get to keep you alive if you YOLO tank 😊
It isn’t, but it’s like when you have someone that everyone knows has ADHD who finally gets a diagnosis. It’s good for everyone that it’s finally on record and they can get the support they need.
Actually I don’t know if that last bit will happen for Pauline 🤔
For the thousands we have played, and the thousands we have yet to play.

I am very much looking forward to the new alliance raid. Day 1 is going to be so much fun.
That and Chaotic Alliance Raids.
Have a look through the tools section on the Megathread in the pinned post. For this specific use case you’re probably going to be wanting to look at tools like Sonarr (for TV shows), Radarr (for movies), some form of torrent client that those tools support (Transmission for example), and depending on what your tracker supports, possibly something like Jackett to provide a bridge between your tracker and your downloader tool.
The benefit of this kind of setup is it’s very easy to add Usenet into the mix if you choose to.
There’s some extra steps needed if you run it directly on the Mac but you can also do something like run Docker on the Mac and run those tools within Docker instead.
I’m pretty sure it’s possible to integrate something like Overseerr (which is a web frontend for handing requests for new content) into the Plex watch list meaning you could add a show to your watch list in Plex, Overseerr would pick that up, send it to Sonarr or Radarr depending on the type of content it is, which would then do a search on your tracker for the content, send the torrent to your torrent client, and then when it finishes downloading automatically import it into Plex.
