The way I see it isn’t that stereotypes are inherently awful, it’s that they have various levels of impact. Racism against African Americans is considered more heavily because they have such a long history of oppression that not many other groups have had. Most other groups didn’t meet fierce resistance to obtaining basic rights for as long as they did
- Comment on Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be? 2 weeks ago:
Even if the left is overall more tolerant, there’s still plenty of toxicity that alienates people and pushes them rightward.
- Comment on Is it more energy efficient to charge a phone/tablet using a desktop/laptop while your computer is being used vs using the charger? 3 weeks ago:
I remember seeing an experiment saying that the difference is negligible. Even if it isn’t, it’s far more important to keep your battery between 20 and 80 percent at all times.

- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 6 months ago:
As for minor issues, EGS does not have feature parity with Steam or GOG. They don’t have user reviews, for example. This makes it a worse user experience.
More importantly, Epic has a habit of anti-competitive or anti-consumer behavior. When EGS first launched, they were keen on doing console-style timed exclusives, even for games that were already purchasable on platforms like Steam.
Lastly, Epic has a history of neglecting or shutting down games. A few of their older games were taken offline permanently when Fortnite started gaining traction. They then purchased a few studios, namely Psyonix (makers of Rocket League), Mediatonic (Fall Guys), and Harmonix (Rock Band/Guitar Hero series). These studios seem to be a shell of what they used to be. Psyonix’s first major project under Epic was Rocket Racing in Fortnite, and this project seemed to be prioritized over Rocket League and even caused the removal of core features of Rocket League. Harmonix worked on Fortnite Festival, but that came at the cost of Fuser, which shut down and was delisted about a year after launch. As for Mediatonic, I don’t think they worked on anything else yet, but a large portion of the studio was recently laid off. Needless to say, fans of the affected studios aren’t happy with Epic as they’re being treated as 2nd-class citizens compared to Fortnite players.

OP never defined what happens when you teleport within objects, so it could still be fair game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do you live in the US? If you’re European, American walls are essentially glorified paper and are pretty thin.

3 and 7. With 3 you can essentially walk through walls, and with 7 you will know exactly which boxes you don’t need to check when looking for something.

I disagree. I think the whole situation will force Republicans to work with Democrats because now that there’s 3 “parties,” there will have to be more compromises.
