  Not to mention the rise of vehicle violence, running over protesters and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  For the same reason N64 games couldn’t run on the SNES

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the only good way to do VR. Otherwise it’s just a gimmick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like the bot got confused

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the person you replied to but I also used to be a hardcore Christian convertitive.

  Honestly just talking to people with different viewpoints than me. Back when Reddit was decent I would troll with conservative BS to get a rise out of commenters, but occasionally people would reply with points I couldn’t refute. Making IRL friends helped a lot too. I realized people actually have nuance in their opinions and there’s a lot more gray area than I realized. Leaving relgion was the last step for me. Once my identity was no longer my beliefs I was able to change them.

  Its part of what scares me about the internet now, we all get locked in little echo chambers. Nobody’s viewpoints get challanged and there’s no honest debate any more. Defederated social media will only make it worse as there will be 10,000 different Lemmys, each one for an exactly specific set of beliefs that will never be questioned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Leftist ideology is at its core about people. Even when it is wrong, it’s wrong trying to help people.

  The right is just about power. The only mistakes it makes are actions that cost it power.

  It’s a deanonymization attack. You know which users opened the message by seeing when the unique image URL was accessed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI will replace us all... trust me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is that shouldn’t be an issue in the first place

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses Discord⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And as Reddit has shown they will shut you down for expressing any political opinion they don’t like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just happy you thought it was funny, dear⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody does but we all just pretend

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rule⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the video he’s watching? Asking for a friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is smarter than a genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still incredible that people bought into “half the features twice the price” Apple products so hard that it corrupted the entire industry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to play it but it seems like a $40 game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you signed up for an organization that murders innocent people, but since you personally haven’t been told to do it yet you think you’re OK? Fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for your service. Those brown kids were definitely a threat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuck this asshole⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re STILL fucking pissy about masks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires shouldn't exist⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how it should be. When you actually think about how a few rich people who don’t actually do the work get to “own” the entire company it’s absurd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's taking some deep drags on that Marlboro as he considers what to do⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus promised he won’t use that one specific method of genocide ever again, that’s why he created the rainbow - Genesis 9:8-17

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s Sergey Brin Says Engineers Should Work 60-Hour Weeks in Office to Build AI That Could Replace Them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, he doesn’t work, he just dictates what other people should work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no ragrets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re very aggressive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon Musk and his ilk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The stock market has no attachment to reality any more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basic courtesy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes clearly that’s exactly the same as throwing trash around at a park

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss myspace⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Before the corporations colonized it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basic courtesy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll never understand people who make doing free labor for a corporation some sort of top tier ethical standard.

  Not lttering, following traffic rules, there are so many small ways we make our society better and yet people get so worked up over the one that is providing free labor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shares his taste in music⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Try being into board games. “Oh like Monopoly” NO NOT LIKE A 100 YEAR OLD GAME INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED NOT TO BE FUN AS A CRITICISM OF CAPITALISM. There have been new board games made in the last century and they’re actually fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants $3 million⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a marketing gimmick, they had guards to make sure no one actually broke it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny this never made it into a James Taylor song⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As anyone who has ever set foot in that shithole can attest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Once people hit their 30s sure. It’s still creepy for a 19 year old and a 60 year old to date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except when Democrats look at things their people want like universal healthcare or people they support like Bernie and just refuse to do them.
