I just go for the easy ones. I don’t bother with getting 100% achievements.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 1 day ago:
I never cheat online multiplayer. I like to be challenged and cheating ruins it.
I hate that modding is considered cheating by some games when all I want is quality of life improvement. Divinity 2 does this by disabling achievements if you installed any mods but thankfully there is another mod that re-enables achievements.

Not so much as ragebait but unpopular opinion. I think most Lemmy users are highly paid middle class, tech workers who are out of touch with the genuine grievances and feelings of the working class, whose previous manufacturing jobs were outsourced and left with no alternative. They are then left to compete with just as poor immigrants for artificially-induced resource scarcity. And then Lemmings call them ignorant redneck hillbillies without listening to their lived experience. Sure, many former manufacturing blue collar workers could re-skill, but it is easier said than done, since most people find it hard to re-adjust and prefer to stick with their trade.
Now that there is huge lay off of tech workers the past year in preference to cheap immigrant labour, and cost-free AI, many Lemmy users are starting to realise and feel the experience of working class who had been left by globalisation.
I am increasingly becoming socialist. At some point we will all need UBI.

If The Onion is an actually serious journalist website, this will be their type of headline. They’ll fully embrace sensationalist headline without being clickbait.

If a person could not handle being monogamous, and the other could not handle polyamory, they should find partners compatible with their desires instead of cheating on one another.
Consent, mate.

It does not work for most people because they couldn’t handle the jealousy.

There is plenty of propaganda on social media to exalt the billionaires and CEOs. Instagram is especially really bad at it. I don’t know why the algorithm suggest heavily to me about “entrepreneur” pages (maybe my investing platform sold my data), although some of these pages whitewash literal fraudulent and underhanded behaviours from celebrity CEOs and fraudsters as “another way to get rich”. I also think the posts and profiles were written by bots, because the language and syntax used sound almost identical from one another, in spite of these profiles supposedly being independent from one another.

My guess is that you’re not in the US like I am, but I hear so many ridiculous stories and laws over there which are privacy-invasive, because it is not a secret that corporations and governments want data to surveil and manipulate its citizens, and then train AI.

They’re not wrong? It’s an open secret in the business world that information is the new gold. M

You’re talking about CIA-orchestrated coups and without popular support. Almost all color revolutions tend to be grass roots movement, albeit have soft power influence from outside.

Do you mean propagandise the Russian population? The West is already doing it by way of Radio Free Europe, NED and other NGOs. It is not a discussion that comes up often, but on occasions Russian trolls will bring up about color revolutions Russian spheres of influence that advocate for democratic reforms, which is catalysed by the West through said media and institutions. Hence, for the Russian jingoists and Kremlin, their own propaganda against the West is justified. But if you ask the trolls what is objectively bad with promoting democracy? You will get crickets. That is certainly better than propping up illiberal and regressive groups.

Golden Age Islam was surprisingly progressive at the time in terms of religious tolerance. Not necessarily because of idealism (although iirc, the Koran doesn’t encourage proselytisation), but because many rulers get income taxing non-Muslims.

So, craving for power is a natural trait in nature. And standing up to bullying animals works just as well.
Seeing where the world is heading now, I kinda think we are cursed by nature with craving for power.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 weeks ago:
In the Ubisoft trading community that I mentioned, some folks blamed UbiSoft’s downfall for “being woke”. As if Ubisoft’s blind chasing of money, abandoning most of their IP, and the executive telling consumers to get used to not owning games are not bigger factors.

The Ubisoft trading community are coping to justify holding on to their tanking investments. It’s a gambler doubling down on losing.
Christ, how the mighty Ubisoft has fallen. They will go the way of EA and become a spyware company for the decadent Arab royals. I’m just crying that Ubisoft made some of my favourite games growing up and look what they have done to my boy-- a rotting zombie 🥲
