I don’t even know what you’re accusing me of doing, lol
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 day ago:
“actively robbing the poor” and “actively killing masses of poor people” are two different levels of evil.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 1 day ago:
Is it unhealthy to be gleeful for the death of someone who promotes and spreads violent and hateful rhetoric and got hoist by his own petard? This is different than being gleeful about the death of someone who is making a hobby worse in one specific company.

Charlie Kirk was okay with people dying from gun violence if it meant fewer restrictions on guns. He fought against minority groups’ rights. He was spreading dangerous rhetoric worldwide.
The Ubisoft guy helped found a popular video game company and was probably just a generic rich prick at worst.
The world is better off without Charlie Kirk. I doubt the world, let alone the video game industry, let alone even just Ubisoft, will get any better after today thanks to Guillemot’s death.
There’s a huge difference here.

certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars
Ok, so which of those examples was this guy most like? Lol

This is the first time I’ve heard “timezones aren’t fair”!
If those extra 15 hours matter, you could always move to New Zealand. Otherwise, it’s “safest” to play by the rules and wait until midnight. Or just wait until the next day. Playing exciting games after midnight can be bad for your health (assuming you’re not on a nocturnal schedule)!
- Comment on UPDATE: I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title appeared on another Steam game as they plan to release before I do. 4 days ago:
Thirdly, and I’m sure it’s just an oversight, but the description still lists your game name on his page.

- Comment on How do I unrot my brain from AI, how do I start using ChatGPT less and less, and is improv a good enough way to fix an AI-rotted brain? 1 week ago:
I replaced Reddit scrolling with Lemmy scrolling. There isn’t as much content here, so I did add reading to the mix.
This also reduced the amount of time I spent writing comments on social media. That’s a great win, imo!

Whenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.
When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.
Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao

I feel like I could be running a locally-hosted LLM powered by renewable energy trained on open-source datasets and I’d still get angry comments from someone active in c/piracy
- Comment on To quote a movie: Why is it when a person in the military dies we feel some sympathy for, but if someone killed a mayor or senator everyone loses their minds? 2 weeks ago:
They took your use of “everyone” personally, I think
- Comment on How were maps created back in the day? 2 weeks ago:
Lmao. “When I said broad, I didn’t mean broad, I meant notmal”. And you go around calling other people idiots…
- Comment on How were maps created back in the day? 2 weeks ago:
Why are you being this way? Are you usually like this?
- Comment on What is happening with all the explosions in America and Mexico? First it was California then Washinton now it's Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
What explosions?
- Comment on Is Korean phonology difficult? 2 weeks ago:
On the point of tonogenesis in Korean, that actually solves the tense consonant issue for English speakers!
- Comment on How were maps created back in the day? 2 weeks ago:
Please step down from your high horse.
“Before tech” and “great granddaddy” and “local Trader Joe’s” are 3 different time periods. Sure they could’ve just chosen one, but it might not be what OP was curious about.
An individual who’s curious enough to ask the question would probably be curious enough to further drill down to a specific time period that they’re curious about. This could have led into good discussion.
If you want something that just tells you an answer and doesn’t question you or ask you to clarify, then you can use an LLM. If you want conversation, you can use Lemmy.

Your full name should be [FirstName] Mc[FirstNameFace]
- Comment on Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it? 3 weeks ago:
(if i pay for it i might as well use it + more privacy)
I think you’d be paying for, but not using, your Internet bandwidth/speeds at that point
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 4 weeks ago:
At a certain level of wealth, we should be taxing wealth quarterly.
Grant an exception for a single place of residence (sure, let it be magnificent, whatever, but only 1).
Wealth taxes can have brackets like income taxes do.
Also, more luxury taxes etc!
- Comment on How come assassinations went away for the most part? Why send a bunch of god fearing young kids into a battle the upper class started or wanted when clipping one leader would stop it? 4 weeks ago:
Did you actually read my comment […]?
Yes, which is how I know that your logic didn’t make sense.
Your faulty logic didn’t upset me nearly as much as it upset you. You interpreted someone saying “it’s not common” as telling you that it never happened, and seemed to feel entitled to an explanation.
Seriously though, I don’t know why you think I’d be upset, lol

It’s the norm
It’s not the norm
Why are you saying it’s never?
Your comment doesn’t make logical sense
- Comment on Why do I lose my temper if I'm blocked from a community or by a user? 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for the correction!
- Comment on Do young people still say words like "taped"? 4 weeks ago:
How about “hang up the phone”? “Roll down the window”?
- Comment on Why do I lose my temper if I'm blocked from a community or by a user? 4 weeks ago:
People can block to “get the last word in” to make it seem like the blockee had no counter-argument and the blocker decisively won.
To me, that’s the annoying bit.
It also sometimes makes Lemmy seem “broken”, if there are missing replies or discussions you can’t see or things you can’t reply to
- Comment on Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it? 5 weeks ago:
If you wrap all your questions in that kind of stuff, I can see why you don’t always get favourable responses.
The short answer is because it’s healthcare to treat a recognized medical condition. I believe that’s predominantly or solely gender dysphoria.
Wikipedia is generally a good place to get an understanding of you are genuinely interested in learning the answers to those questions. Wikipedia isn’t a trans-rights site or anything, and is probably the closest we can get to neutral without going into peer-reviewed scientific papers (and needing to have the academic background to understand what we’re reading there).
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_health_care
- en.wikipedia.org/…/Transgender_health_care_misinf…
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria
I’m not trans, and I haven’t researched this stuff, so I’m not the best source for this information. But I’m happy to discuss with anyone who has questions that are in good faith. There are a lot of difficult questions, and understanding it requires shifting paradigms we’ve had since we were children. It’s not easy.

OP is saying they can buy these products, but they can’t receive it for medical purposes.
The answer is that these products don’t actually have testosterone, I think

I can’t say that I’ve observed the same thing as you, but regardless, I don’t think that’s attributable to either president in either case.

There’s an edit icon on that post…
And pointing out edits is good internet etiquette. Since edits don’t change replies, someone could edit their comment and make all the replies seem unrelated etc.
