- Comment on People often say "Don't talk to the police", but what if a friend, neighbor, or a loved one gets kidnapped and you want to help the victim? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but whenever multiple cops show up to a scene, there’s almost always one bad cop there. Then the “average” cops don’t do a thing to stop the bad one, and you end up with a bunch of bad cops.
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 2 weeks ago:
Wow, I must be the only person on Lemmy that cannot
- Comment on You can only bring back one. Which do you choose? 2 weeks ago:
We have a few around me still. One in my town and one in the neighboring town. A bit pricey but I try to get what I can there since a best buy just opened up near them.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 weeks ago:
I still use mine all the time! Works great for computers hooked up as gaming consoles because it’s a mouse and a bunch of very useful keys all in one.

Hey buddy this comment wasn’t a reply to you. Thanks for the insults tho really helps things out
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 3 weeks ago:
Here’s an example: in the us, international students are now required to have public social media accounts before they’re allowed in. Unclear what happens if they don’t have any accounts at all, but they’re not allowed to have private social media accounts anymore.
- Comment on >:( 3 weeks ago:
Well yes, generally that’s how jargon is developed. Typically people who don’t contribute to the knowledge base of a field don’t have any say in how that field uses language.
- Comment on >:( 3 weeks ago:
I see it as the exact opposite. If we let the professionals, i.e. cartographers and historians hold the reigns rather than people who don’t have anything to do with it, eg. some pedophile politicians, nothing would have been changed.

Have you ever been to a niche scientific community conference? It’s always been 90% politics.
The Magellanic Cloud community collectively decided that they didn’t want to study objects named after someone who had subjugated the communities of ancestors studying it, so they agreed to call them the Milky Clouds. A pop science article went out about it and people complained that it wasn’t science, it was politics. But unless you’re a part of that community, you don’t get to decide on the names of the objects that these people understand better than literally anyone else alive or dead. They’re doing more science regarding these objects than anyone else has ever tried, they get to decide what’s best, even if it appears political.
- Comment on Does vibe coding sort of work at all? 3 weeks ago:
A friend of mine is a senior full stack developer and just uses gpt 4o. He makes 300k a year doing it, so it can’t be that bad
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 4 weeks ago:
Yes because by the time I actually get passed the character creator or the introduction I’ve usually already used up my time
- Comment on Chickenslap 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s the part that erks me the most. Ain’t no way that chicken is staying together.

No one’s going to point out the absurd starting assumption KE=mcT??
- Comment on I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308 1 month ago:
I mean one of the first lines is “manufacturing locally guarantees your freedom”
That just rubs me the wrong way. Isolationism at any cost guarantees “freedom”?

I’m curious to see the creationist stuff but I’ll be honest, I don’t want to listen to him for a half hour. Is there a time stamp I can skip to?

Does steam OS allow for things like Nexus mods and emulators?
- Comment on (・∀・) 1 month ago:
Thank you! Annoyed by the lack of information elsewhere in the thread
- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 2 months ago:
No fucking way would someone say that with a straight face
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 2 months ago:
They’ll just make the ai ads racist then lol
- Comment on Day 302 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 2 months ago:
Anyone remember the flying/gliding game that was briefly on the 360 version around 2017? I’d love to play that again if anyone knows how.
- Comment on We Might Be About To Lose A Powerful Force In The World Of Video Game Preservation 2 months ago:
Why don’t you share what games you’ve worked on so we can all decide whether to give a shit about your opinion
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 2 months ago:
Yeah I mean they straight ripped it off lol
- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 2 months ago:
That game came out 8 years ago???
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 months ago:
I’ve noticed mine got worse for some reason in the last five years. So many words that I’ve had no issue spelling I’ve lost confidence in spelling and need to look it up. Happened around COVID for me, not sure why.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
People might get a little emotional about it but I bounce between Linux Mint, windows 10, and windows 11 and honestly I totally agree that windows 11 is trash. When my windows 10 computer reaches it’s limit, I might try to figure out how to run games on Linux/proton or whatever that is.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 3 months ago:
AAA games have been 70 bucks for a while, but I’m not sure of any base switch games that were 80 bucks. Could be wrong tho…
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 3 months ago:
I see that shit so often on Reddit and you hit the nail on the head. Like so many people blame feminists or some shit for making them vote for trump.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
This post is all over the place. Temporary indiscriminate tariffs on every trading partner won’t bring manufacturing jobs to America. What does that have to do with helping Taiwan?
- Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential) 3 months ago:
Yeah I think Lemmy often forgets that kids exist and are the target audience for Nintendo games. I say good for them, it might be hella expensive but at least Nintendo appears to be providing a “safe” place for kids to use the internet. There’s really nothing for kids anymore these days other than getting an eating disorder on tiktok.

Yiiiikes. That quote from him is an insane way to justify being only attracted to minors.
