Borrow someone’s computer? Use one at your local library?
- Comment on What interesting things can I do with my home WiFi network? 1 day ago:
You can buy a raspberry pi and have Pihole setup on it. It’ll act as your local dns server and block any ad domains for the whole household.
- Comment on Is there a difference in meaning between the words *people* and *persons*? 1 day ago:
Persons is used in a more formal context like legal document. People is used in conversations. This is generally speaking of course.
I could be wrong here but it may be that your sister is not laughing at your use of the word since it’s actually correct. it could be she’s laughing at your generalization of “those people” as that can sometimes be seen as condescending or derogatory.
- Comment on Do all there former Republican leaders endorsing Harris do her any good? 1 day ago:
We’ll know after the election.
It might be that these endorsements help bring in some more moderate Republicans to her side but there’s also a very real possibility that she disincentive the more left leaning voters from voting for her as well. Remember, Hillary lost because she didn’t do enough to incentivize people to vote for her. She just relied on people hating Trump and didn’t rely on people actually liking her. Regardless, this is all conjecture. It’s too early to tell and no one will have a definitive answer until the results are in and a winner is announced.

These countries you’re thinking of are usually attacked regularly where survival is an everyday struggle. For people who dedicate their everyday to survival; it’s only expected that they would be fighting back.
In terms of funding…a lot of rich people would love to take advantage of people in this kind of situation. You could also easily make the argument that these rich people help cultivate this kind of situation for their own benefit as well.
- Comment on 63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie — GamerBlurb 2 days ago:
This isn’t an uncommon or unheard of fact…Googling it will produce a lot of results and studies surrounding it…
For instance, it has been found that using computers excessively can lead to impulsivity, hyperactivity, disorganization, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating and completing tasks - all signs of ADHD.
- Comment on 63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie — GamerBlurb 2 days ago:
I’m sure people will see this and think things like “Oh well, of course they would have you seen the quality of movies lately?” or “Well Gen Z tend to be more social than previous generations so that probably is a factor”.
While true, I wonder how much of it is due to engagement? Gen Z is the first generation who grew up primarily on technology. We’ve all seen parents who just give their kids their phones or tablets and let them sit there quietly for hours. It tends to lead to hyperactive minds and movies wouldn’t satisfy that kind of person (usually). Games definitely would though.
- Comment on How come Israel don't use Mossad to take out all of the Hamas leadership similar to what they did after Munich? Would this not be better than bombing stuff into oblivion? 5 days ago:
Israel loves Hamas. Let’s them justify their persecution of the Palestinians and the ongoing genocide. They don’t want to end Hamas until after they end the Palestinians. That way they get more land to colonize.

You’re supposed to dip your genitals into it to dry after washing it in the sink idiot.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 6 days ago:
A cult of fanatics who worship him due to his ability to let them display their complete lack of empathy as well as their extremely racist and misogynistic views.

Just be patient. A lot of other countries will soon follow the shitshow that is American politics.
- Comment on Do people actually starve themselves to play games like World of Warcraft? 1 week ago:

- Comment on Who needs beams when you have arches? 1 week ago:
I already hated the post you’re referencing and this one is just even worse. Please don’t turn this into a trend.
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 1 week ago:
School probably.
Honestly, what’s more surprising is the numbers are that drastic. I didn’t think we have that many Gen Z users here.

- Comment on One Year Later, Larian Reflects On Baldur's Gate 3's Success, Future Plans, And Canceling DLC: "Ever Since, We've Felt Better" 2 weeks ago:
True, I guess. But I know they had intentionally cut the story and change a few things as a result of that. I guess it’s partly because I just want more.
- Comment on One Year Later, Larian Reflects On Baldur's Gate 3's Success, Future Plans, And Canceling DLC: "Ever Since, We've Felt Better" 2 weeks ago:
I really wish they were given more time for this game. It was amazing, but now that I know what they cut I keep feeling regret over not having so much more content.
- Comment on What the hell even is Diet Coke? 2 weeks ago:
Yes there are more differences and there’s likely different recipes based on where you live. But the main one, from my understanding, is what I said in my original comment.
- Comment on What the hell even is Diet Coke? 2 weeks ago:
It’s all about how they sweeten the drink. Regular coke uses corn syrup while diet coke uses aspartame. This allows the diet coke to have no calories.

- Comment on [Aug 2024] What are the current most active forums for specific video game discussions. 3 weeks ago:
You can start the discussions on this community if you’d like. I believe it’s the most active one. If you’re looking for the amount of content Reddit has…Lemmy isn’t there yet. You starting these discussions may help more and more people to contribute and add in. Which then creates more content.
