Maybe could say it’s a Pastafarian ritual for the same legal protection as confession in Christian religions?

Moderation kinda depends on identity, as the trolls who want every room to be toxic will enter every room and make sure it’s toxic if there’s no identification.

Reddit apps addicted me to ad free content delivered in the way Eternity for lemmy does, and that’s no longer available for reddit.
- Comment on What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it? 2 weeks ago:
Another issue that can arise is people feeling more connected to some fractional heritage that they like, as a way to divide thier local community more and feel separate e.g. “Arian heritage”…

(It’s not Brexit)
That sounds like fake news or click bait to me 😅
If its not brexit I assume it’ll be a symptom of the same problem that caused brexit…

Weird that he compares a cathedral to an apartment building in the opening… There’s plenty of modern and minimalist cathedrals/churches he could’ve picked…

Konami’s pachinko(Japanese slot machines) and casino business used to be bigger than thier video games business, but thier Digital Entertainment (home videogames) division has been turned into more casino type things, completed around when Hideo left:

- Comment on What do you think of this video from HealthyGamerGG? 5 weeks ago:
The issue with self help content in general in that it can distract you from doing the actual work to achieve your goals while making you feel like you’re making progress.
Its probably better to investigate scientifically proven methods of achieving your specific goals rather than trying to use self help content.
- Comment on What do you think of this video from HealthyGamerGG? 5 weeks ago:
Other forms of self help content can have similar issues as self help content on YouTube. It depends on what the motivation is for creating the content in the first place.
For any self help content to be financially successful it needs to be more entertaining than helpful, regardless of the platform it’s on.
That said I imagine it’s probably a bit worse on YouTube because of the algorithm…

- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 5 weeks ago:
There’s been a lot of good games for free on epic, and epic still pays the dev/publisher for it, so it’s worth clicking the button even if you don’t download it and play it from thier client.

AAAA games are the best! I love squeezing through a narrow crevice, it’s such a riveting gameplay mechanic!
- Comment on pro choice 2 months ago:
You can force a win in a specific 2 player game of non-infinite moves(if it has no draw condition). But yeah , it doesn’t apply generally to any 2 player game of non-infinite moves.
- Comment on pro choice 2 months ago:
It’s been a while since I’ve done products of sets, but what if one of the sets in the product is a set of empty sets?
- Comment on pro choice 2 months ago:
You could design a different game that does though. E.g. A Tic-tac-toe variant but the player who starts looses if it’s a draw.

- Comment on What accent does this sound like? 2 months ago:
Could be: seems to wander between pronunciations from different accents, initially sounds American when he says “Wait”, then sounds sortof sounds Indian for a but after that before settling into a polish accent 😅
But I guess it might not be fake as I can imagine someone might pronounce some words differently if English is not thier first language and they learned some words from people with different accents…
