- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 2 months ago:
Lutris + GE-Proton + umu works. If you use GE-Proton as the runner, Lutris automatically uses umu to launch the game which launches within the Steam Pressure Vessel container.
You can manage GE-Proton downloads using Protonplus. The latest version, last I checked, is GE-Proton9-15.
- Comment on How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow. 2 months ago:
It’s simple really. Be honest and reasonable to the judge, and they will likely be reasonable back especially if this is a first offense. Give only as much information as requested, though, never offer information unless you’re certain it won’t be used against you.
- Comment on Why are peole hating on .world? 2 months ago:
It’s the most toxic instance I’ve ventured into (and admittedly have this account on). People spread lies and vitriol here about as much as Twitter and Reddit.
- Comment on Epic detail plans for Unreal Engine 6 and share vision of a metaverse spanning "Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite" 2 months ago:
I long for the day when CEOs and companies get their heads out of their asses and stop pushing this “metaverse” nonsense.
- Comment on What does a federal ban on price gouging look like? 2 months ago:
Price controls are the only viable solution if monopolies aren’t broken up and if collusion is rampant effectively removing competition. While I know of no direct evidence of collusion between grocers, the effects seem quite clear to me when nearly every grocer seems to be taking in record profits while many groceries are still 2-5 times higher than just five years ago.
Also, if this issue is the litmus test for some people on whether they would vote for Trump over Harris, those people should have their head examined. While Harris lacks some specifics here, Trump has nothing — plus he’s a lying, misogynistic, sociopathic convicted felon — so yes, I agree, Harris is the obvious choice.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Nice.
- Comment on Do all there former Republican leaders endorsing Harris do her any good? 2 months ago:
If those principles help bring about another Trump presidency, then they wouldn’t have done you much good.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:
In case it wasn’t a typo, and just to help OP for the future…
It’s “this day and age,” not “this day in age.”
I know I’ll probably get downvoted for the pedantry here especially since everyone understands what was meant, but hopefully OP will appreciate the information about the common phrase.
Also to answer the OP’s question: inferiority complex. It runs rampant in society, especially among men.
- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 3 months ago:
Starburns already has a monopoly on the chicken.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 3 months ago:
Retropie. You may already know what it is, but it’s well worth it and works rather beautifully.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 4 months ago:
Chrono Trigger
- Comment on How Do You Explain to a Fully Grown Adult That Constantly Mocking Others' Appearance (Even on TV) is Toxic Behavior? 4 months ago:
Tell them to shut the fuck up and grow up.
But I’m an asshole toward other assholes, so take that for what you will.
- Comment on My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence? 4 months ago:
He shares traits with them. But no, he’s an 8 year old boy trapped in a 78 year old body trying to compensate for his tiny penis and no balls. He will use Nazis just like he uses everyone. As the other commenter said, he’s a con artist and grifter.
When he’s long dead, aside from a footnote in American history books stating he was the worst president since Buchanan, he will be forgotten. Of course this can’t come soon enough.
- Comment on My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence? 4 months ago:
Severely undereducated selfish people who think all of their problems is someone else’s or some other tribe’s fault.
Almost all Nazis share one common trait: a complete lack of empathy.
And almost all American Nazis share two additional traits: no critical thinking skills and gullibility.
- Comment on My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence? 4 months ago:
I can say what it is…beat the shit out of them. I probably won’t unless it came to war, and then I would use weapons instead.
- Comment on My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence? 4 months ago:
That should tell you everything you need to know.
That morons live everywhere.
- Comment on Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance? 4 months ago:
Simple answer: it’s greed and a legal racket.
- Comment on Why does the urge to go to the bathroom increase when we get home? 4 months ago:
Probably as simple as muscle memory.
- Comment on what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc? 4 months ago:
This deserves way more upvotes.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
You mean the certified piece of shit: Senator Joe Manchin.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
It still boggles my mind that a 34-count convicted felon is even a presidential nominee. Such is the state of the education system in this country. sigh
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 5 months ago:
In terms of the Electoral College votes, yes, it looks that way. But either way, I’d say to please vote. It matters.
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 5 months ago:
Ohio’s Electoral College votes are cast for the winner of the state, not per district [1]. Of course you should vote for Biden!

- Comment on Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution? 5 months ago:
If that’s an insult, you should try harder. Or maybe just go blow useless things up for fun.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution? 5 months ago:
Yes. They only exist for brainless people who think blowing useless things up, annoying neighbors, scaring pets, and waking sleeping babies is fun.
- Comment on The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate? 5 months ago:
So then Trump should still be prosecuted, right? Since he allegedly broke the law 91 times, 34 of which he has already been found guilty of exactly that… right?
Pretty sure that the point of the ruling is to grant Trump considerably more ammunition to fight with since it wasn’t an outright “no, he’s not immune.” Any hedging that this was not a political move by the very conservative court is willful ignorance of reality.
We as a nation have only two hopes left: that the public creates an overwhelming lopsided victory for Biden in November (unlikely since nearly half of the country would suck Trump’s very tiny penis if given the chance), or that Chutkan and other judges don’t let this moronic Supreme Court decision change their rulings since supposedly the decision leaves it in these judges hands. And it’s now very unlikely anything will occur prior to November so we may be left with only the one hope.
Make no mistake — Trump is a criminal, a convicted felon, and Trump supporters love it. Because yet again they think they’re “owning the libs” when in reality they are destroying the republic with their sycophancy. I sincerely hope they each get what they want and the country gets irrevocably destroyed — so that their owning of the libs is complete and maybe, just maybe, they’ll finally shut — the — fuck — up.
- Comment on Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be? 6 months ago:
In general and on the aggregate, I am with you.
However, as an anecdote, I took in a couple of very conservative Christians who got evicted, gave them time (to pay off bills) and resources (food, water, power, internet, a bed, a roof…now at 4 months), and they’re not lifting a finger to help around the house and expect our kid to do their dishes and take out their trash.
Sometimes people are just selfish greedy assholes and there’s no changing that even with time and resources. And trust me they will be getting evicted from my house quite soon (with proper notification by state law).
I hope this experience doesn’t make me a bitter old fool. I truly do. Because I love the concept of helping others, it just tends to backfire more than I’d like.

“Welcome to the desert of the real” --Morpheus, “The Matrix”
But I agree, it would be nice if Lemmy could be a haven of intelligence, logic, and reason. But the cockroaches simply move from one infestation site to another, impossible to eradicate.
The only way you will get what you want is to unplug. Stop browsing the internet, get outside, and enjoy the sunshine.
Many of us long for the internet of the 90s – even with its slow dialup speeds and loud modem sounds. It was fresh, exciting, fun, and unencumbered by the weight of millions of trolls who either hadn’t yet discovered it, or hadn’t yet been born. Now, it is littered with such trolls who have what they perceive as their intelligence spoon-fed to them by the very few major news outlets – and mistakenly think that their confirmation bias found in their search results is somehow proof of their intelligence. Critical thought is all but gone, replaced by a terrible version of the telephone game, where facts get lost, or worse, purposefully outright removed.
- Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional? 6 months ago:
You’re right, clearly there are also morons. And if it wasn’t inferred, since you seem quite clueless, I mean you.
- Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional? 6 months ago:
Not one of those do liberals have anything against – and in fact, much of which is championed by liberals. You are either trolling or are completely and utterly deluded with some kind of brainwash that makes you think you’re somehow not a liberal.
Every single conservative I know and have heard/read is quite against freedom from religion, quite against the right to clean food and water, quite for imprisonment of criminals even in a case as small as owning a marijuana plant, are quite happy to scowl at what they consider unfair trials (see: every conservative talking head about Trump’s trials), and are quite happy to “own the libtards” by depriving them of life, liberty, and security.
So, maybe you should take a long hard look at what it is you really believe in, because you’re more liberal than you think.
