• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Should Twitter links be banned from lemmy.world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Twitter has nothing of value left to offer the world. Anyone who’s still on that platform is either not paying attention or supports neo Nazis.

  The fakest man alive turns out to be a fake gamer? I’m shocked! Shocked I say!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  How can there be checks and balances if the executive branch of government can now override the judicial branch?

  Short answer: There can’t be any checks and balances, and that’s the point. The supreme court basically gave Trump cover to do anything and everything he wants so long as he claims it’s a part of his official duties. It doesn’t have to he true, he only has to claim it so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything my girlfriend and I have to consider when traveling to America based on our skin differences?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  We were hearing stuff that some Americans socially divide people by their ethnicity. I just wanted to ask online whether this is true and if there could be any concerns

  Unfortunately it is true, but it’s not everywhere. Generally speaking, the larger the population of an area, the less likely you’ll experience hostility. Coastal cities with large populations are highly unlikely to give you trouble. Rural aeas with lower populations have a higher chance of giving you trouble.

  We even heard things like that in some places they divide people by “skin color” and base different cultures on that (we noticed that people from America even speak and behave differently based on whether they identify as “black” or “white”) and even have schools for primarily people with dark skin or so.

  Yes, segregation was a dark chapter in America’s history. Officially, segregation was outlawed, but unofficially it still happens in some areas. Some of the conservative regions are trying to go back to the days of segregation and slavery. They create laws that aren’t specifically racist, but still have that effect.

  As to different cultures, we have a lot of them. Most of the country speaks English, but we have a lot of different accents that seem like a different language entirely.

  I dont know German, but I would draw a parallel to various English accents in the UK. Irish, Scottish, Cockney, Geordie, and so on.

  As to the way white and black people talk, I suspect it has more to do with wealth and social class rather than race. Poor white people and poor black people tend to socially isolate from one another, creating distinct accents. But it’s not uncommon for intermingling.

  I have a coworker who grew up in a poor black neighborhood and he has a “black accent” (for lack of a better term). If your only interaction with him is on the phone, it would be easy to assume he’s black.

  This is the correct answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could the next US Administration feasibly order USCIS to destroy Naturalization records in order to make it easier to mass deport citizens?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When it comes to fascism, the rule of law only matters to them when it works in their favor. The rest of the time it’s simply ignored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄

  Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hideo Kojima seems to be testing Death Stranding 2, but it's not going well: "I fell asleep twice while on a delivery and ran the vehicle into a cliff"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this game… fun? Everything I’ve seen and heard about it doesn’t seem fun at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now we don’t have a left wing party in the US. We have a right wing party, and a right wing fascist party. As much as members of the fascist party love to shit on the Democrats for being leftists, most of them aren’t actually leftist.

  I have a question. What do any of the people in this… meme? have to do with each other? Is this another Qanon delusion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re basically announcing “We’re a business, but we’re not all that interested in making money.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people with lots of 'karma points' tend to be nothing but egotistical assholes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Egotistical assholes gain attention more than regular commentators.

  Internet culture rewards the loud, obnoxious, and offensive with attention and engagement. Advertisers like attention and engagement, so they financially back the loud, obnoxious, and offensive.

  This is why it’s so prevalent on social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What gives you hope to keep going?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tone down social media use and do a little prepping. Learn how to use mylar bags and properly store away rice, beans, lentils, pastas, etc.

  Prep as if the internet is going down for a prolonged time, maybe even electricity in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the best games you can play on a laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not an RPG, but I always recommend PowerWash Simulator. It’s one of those games where you don’t have to pay too much attention to the game and can watch stuff on your phone.

  Aside from that, maybe World of Warcraft private server like ChromieCraft.

  There’s also Starbound, Terraria, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, the Portal and Borderlands games, Half-Life 2 just received an update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, because free speech includes all speech. Even the speech we disagree with.

  We don’t technically have free speech in the US either. You can’t make death threats or shout “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you put the most hours into?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 3,400 hours in Space Engineers.

  About 1,500 hours in FFXIV, 1,400 hours in DayZ, and 1,300 hours in 7 Days To Die.

  Then 900 hours in Empyrion Galactic Survival, 500 hours in Baldurs Gate 3, and 300 hours in Fallout 4.

  The rest are well below 200.

  Google is just going to stall and delay until Trump’s goons come in. Then, suddenly, the DOJ will have a change of heart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would be the top ten items in a MAGA starter pack?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  1. A pallet of tissues for when their spouse and entire family disowns them.

  2. A good lawyer to defend them when they lash out and commit various crimes.

  3. A little American flag to wave patriotically as they destroy this country.

  4. A wheelbarrow to carry all of your cash to the grocery store as inflation is about to explode.

  5. Solar panels, compost pile, and an outhouse because basic infrastructure like electricity, plumbing, and waste removal are at risk of budget cuts and mismanagement.

  6. A tutor for the children as education is getting deep cuts soon.

  7. A good therapist to help work through all of that cognitive dissonance.

  8. A bicycle as the price of gas will skyrocket.

  9. A standard dictionary as basic terms and concepts elude them.

  10. A back brace as you’re going to have to pick your own crops from now on.

  We need courses that teach males how to be men. Not the BS toxic stuff, but teach them how to be decent human beings in society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the democrats executed the same fake electors scheme trump tried to execute, wouldn't Republican opposition be admission of trumps guilt?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re assuming that Republicans are consistent with their BS. They are not.

  Many, if not most, MAGA voters suffer from extreme cognitive dissonance and they’re trained to not think about it.

  Never forget, Steam allowed Alex Jones to publish his “anti-woke” video game there. And it was as disgusting as you can imagine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FINAL FANTASY XIV MOBILE – Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a suspicion it’ll be a lot like EvE Online and their EvE Echoes mobile version. The mobile version is significantly watered down in size and functionality, yet is still playable. I think we’ll see something similar.

  We’ll still see the core gameplay, but parts of the game might be removed or retooled. Crafting and gathering will likely be simplified, minions will be gone, jobs will have less abilities, graphics significantly reduced, and so on.

  It’s doable, but don’t expect it to be the same game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The “All Lives Matter” retort wad nothing more than an attempt to dilute the issue of police brutality and wrongful killing of black people. That was it, nothing more.

  Right wingers invent retorts to everything, even if it goes into extremism and silliness. Eating horse paste instead of getting a vaccine, drinking their own urine instead of getting medical care, destroying their own personal property as a protest against numerous companies for imaginary slights, nonsensical boycotts, and on and on.

  The founder of the Proud Boys terrorist organization once shoved a butt plug up his own ass on video just to “own the libs.”
