I mean,that’s all there is to say really. I know the fediverse is broken up into different, interconnected domains, but literally any one of them could be monetized by their domain owner. Obviously we would all just block that domain/move to another, but it’s not an impossibility.

Mostly I’m just saying, “don’t get complacent, they could always pull the rug from under us.”

They are so weird

FTFY

in gaming journalism

Wow, you don’t read much news I’m guessing. Any and all news publications love to use it as a ‘catch-all’ term for, “he showed them what for!”

It’s a bogus word describing action that the news can’t otherwise report, because calling it ‘verbal slaughter’ triggers people.

If modern journalism had any integrity left, they’d call Trump what he is: a wannabe Hitlerian dictator.

Any publication that tries to curb that, is likely in bed with the money piles the network was given by the accused.

There’s not a single goddamn person on the planet that doesn’t have some sort of bias, that’s journalism 101.

That’s crazy. Not even counting time spent on pirated versions of games, any game that I truly enjoy has at least 300hrs logged. I think my most played game is sitting at a little over 1100hrs because fuuuck am I a sucker for a game dev that respects and engages their players, but that’s a different story to tell.

Almost 90% of lemmy is ex-redittors.

I have become very tiresome with how those mods seems to be on some sort of power trip

In my experience, that’s only on lemmy.ml and maybe one or two other instances. If you go there, just know the entire vibe there is (seemingly) “westerners bad, liberals bad, all hail communism cause capitalism is a western liberal ideal!” or some other variation of that whole backwards ideology.

There’s a couple instances that have their heads so far up their own asses that they’ve become their own Adam’s Apple, and those ones are usually just mods going on power trips because someone called them a bad name.

Ultimately this place is hardly different than reddit, aside from not being a corporate megastructure that will sell your post history to the highest bidder (but that might change, so stay vigilant). You’ll learn what instances/subcommunities are worth seeing–and which ones are best avoided–in time.

Only twenty?!?? Man I play NMS like I play Sims or Minecraft. I put 100hrs in, get bored and don’t play for a while, when I come back there’s been at least one or two updates and I’m easily able to put back in another hundred with new/revised content.

Not that it’s a competition, I’m just surprised cause of how much time I put into things. (x_x)

SLAMS

Yar, har, fiddle-do-dee, all you gotta do, is sail the high sea!

It was a beat-em-up hack ‘n’ slash that played like an early Devil May Cry game. It was really fun, and included everything that was Deadpool at the time (he was borderline schizo during the comics at this time, and the game included both of the “other voices” in his head as a pseudo-narrator kinda thing).

Honestly a really fun game, I pirated it when it came out and now that it doesn’t exist anywhere except the high seas, I regret not paying for it then. To be fair though, it had little replayability, just the, “once every few years” kind. Still a fun game though.

Bruh, it’s a meme. Use a Britta to filter the piss out of your cornflakes and grow a sense of humor

Social standards are not the benign excuse you think they are. If someone ever hits you, you hit back. If that’s how they think you learn, then make them learn that getting hit hurts, and show them why they shouldn’t be hitting.

Letting someone hit you just cause “it’s normal” is called Stockholm Syndrome, and is objectively worse than being the one that’s doing the hurting, because it teaches other people that hurting others is okay.

If you saw an adult, hitting and dragging away a child who’s fighting back with all their might at a grocery store, there’s 2 things that could be happening. A.) just a parent “disciplining” their kid, or B.) a literal kidnapping is taking place.

In your (clearly more informed) mind, it would always be scenario A, and you wouldn’t even think twice about the possibility of scenario B, “because that’s the social norm,” according to you.

I’ll say it one more time: IF YOU THROW HANDS, EXPECT TO CATCH HANDS, NO MATTER YOUR AGE, GENDER, OR FUCK ALL.

Who said anything about a nursing home? I thought we were talking about throwing punches? Cause as I said, as each party ages, they both learn who hits harder.

Any old person that acts like they can’t catch hands, is literally asking for some to be thrown.

If you’re 20yo still taking abuse from someone three times your age, you’re not fighting hard enough for your own rights.

I hope to any and every god that may exist, that kid gets close enough to Erdogan one day, to return the favor tenfold.

That’s a very black-and-white way of looking at it. As children grow older, so too do their elders. Eventually the power balance (so to speak) shifts, and both the child and the elder learn who can hit harder.

Or, hear me out, he grows up resentful of all who lord their undeserved power over him, like billions of other children already do?

But you have to agree that a pizza shouldn’t be sitting out for 50 minutes before it leaves the store.

In an ideal world sure, but we live in the real world with real world limitations…

I too, would love to live in an ideal world where ideals override simple facts.

But that isn’t the real world, and frankly, will likely never be true.

So get over yourself and get used to existence, you abominable dirt-head.

“the lesser of two evils,” lol tell me you’re not an ignorant centrist without telling me you’re an ignorant centrist.

Lol imagine thinking Kamala Harris is more of a Nazi than Donald, "Hitler had good ideas, " Trump

No, they don’t. It was done away with for many important reasons, including but not limited to:

-people intentionally giving the wrong address so that it takes over 30min, costing everyone from the driver to management both time and money

-drivers speeding to meet their time quota, and causing wrecks at increased rates

-driver shortages, amplifying the last point

I worked for dominos as recently as last year. The number of people that still try to scam you over the 30min/free rule is asinine, and at least twice a week I had to explain to would-be customers that 30min/free hasn’t existed in at least 30yr for a lot of really good reasons. I’ve even had customers ask if they could tip “extra” to get it sooner. Unless you’re tipping enough that everyone involved (cook, dispatch, driver) gets as much as the order’s base cost (multiplying order price by 4 at minimum), we’re never going to do that.

I’d have thought that too, before meeting him. Even his own family only loves him begrudgingly (though they keep a much more polite face than I could) and conspiracies aside, he’s a waste of society’s time and resources.

Hate me if you think I’m wrong, but if you’ve never met those kinds of people, you have no room to talk. They’re infinitely worse than the internet can make them seem.

I had a coworker before that was a flat-earther (lizardmen believer and all that shit), and one day he came into work saying “y’all ever wonder if the moon makes its own light??” during a dinner rush and the only thing that kept me from punching his lights out was the fact that it was dinner rush, or I would have pulled him by the collar of his shirt and beat him to near death.

I didn’t think people like that really existed until him, and even then I didn’t want to accept it.
