until they’re asking for genuine help (which starts with help getting clean), any attempt to help would be mostly enabling, i think. I would start distancing myself from this guy, just so I don’t have to watch them kill themselves. but I would let them know what I was doing and why at the same time. myself and a group of friends (all in recovery ourselves) cut ties with a really close friend when he relapsed and refused to go to rehab. in our case, that was the final straw he needed to get help again, and now he’s been sober for like 10 years. I can’t guarantee it’ll go well, he’s clearly self-destructive, but I don’t enjoy watching it
I understand why there are the ones where he didn’t kill himself, but the cameras were destroyed, how come no one thought to think he just walked out? This has been bugging me since it happened....
that was fueled mostly by the fact that the government investigated the idea. people take it to mean that means they saw enough evidence to believe it, but it was probably an ass-covering for a rumor
It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...
So i saw several ads for the German AfD Party (Neo-fascists). I will gladly pay to remove ads but knowing that these ads would still be shown to others here i would rather not support this app in case this continues. Anything that could be done about it?

I’m watching Love on the Spectrum with my husband (great show!), eating a coconut popsicle, and petting one of my dogs. It’s a great Saturday night in my book :)
I try to keep the two as separate as possible, but I’d be lying if I said I found that easy. The biggest thing for me is faces, I really struggle to envisage the characters how they’re written in the book rather than how they look on the screen.
I’m getting an android tablet soon (will be a present and a little birdie told it to me). Nothing fancy, just some mid-range 10 inch one with basic features. I’m planning to mainly use it for comic books, but while I’m at it might as well watch movies on it....
I’m looking for recommendations for WWII single player fps games for the pc. In particular, I’m looking for older games from the 90s to early 2000s. I always hear how the market used to be over saturated with these games, but after playing through the early Call of Duties and Medals of Honor, I don’t know of any games that...
it does seem like a major plot point to bring up so far into the story, I think I remember feeling that way a bit the first time I read it. but it also promises to be absolutely fascinating, and makes you go back and see things with a whole new lens.
The Duke of New York? I've been calling him The Baron of New York. Oh why didn't someone tell me. I've been making an idiot out of myself. (lemmy.world)
Is any body able to provide some advice to help my friend through a bad patch?
So I’m a bit of a degenerate but making better choices lately and sort of getting things on track....
With so many conspiracy theories, why isn't there one where Jeffrey Epstein lives?

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

Who's your favourite character(s) in the gang or not in the gang?
In the gang, my fave is Dennis - he’s so vain and manipulative. I also like Mac when he’s in denial about being gay - I found that arc so funny....

How did the show affect your reading of the books?
