In what direction does the DNC try to radicalize people?
- Comment on get sum 4 days ago:
We also have more room to fail individually today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not proposing that we get back to where western societies were in the 50s, but there are definitely downsides to our current societies that need to be dealt with.

I’d assume that there’s actually more virgins between 18-30 nowadays, though. Loneliness might not be a specifically male epidemic, but it certainly is a societal epidemic in most western countries.

Yeah, I’m sure most people use oral condoms / dental dams when they’re going down on casual flicks.

Yes, I thought it made more sense this way. Bit of a bad habit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ‘edited’ indicator on Lemmy.

- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 4 weeks ago:
I usually have a good time with isometric fantasy rpgs in the vein of Baldur’s Gate. They don’t really have grind, the world is generally well-filled with a relatively dense story and interesting quests (denser than Skyrim at least), and if the game becomes too hard you can turn down the difficulty. Though you do need to actually be interested in the combat mechanics (which are much more complicated than e.g. in Elder Scrolls games) to really enjoy these games, IMO. One downside is that these types of games are usually really long; I’ve dropped a couple of them halfway because they overstayed their welcome.
Some examples:
-
Baldur’s Gate 3 (don’t really need to have played 1+2 to enjoy this one, though they’re still very good)
-
Divinity: Original Sin 1+2
-
Pillars of Eternity 1+2 (2 has much better combat, but the first one is pretty important to understand the world)
-
Tyranny (this is a relatively short one)
-
Pathfinder: Kingmaker 1+2
For more Skyrim-style games, I really enjoyed the Gothic series. I think their level of grind is about the same as Skyrim (probably a little less, but it’s been a while), and if you can get past the outdated graphics of the early titles they’re quite fun. The dialogues are pretty fun!

Can you actually avoid vitamin d production if you stay long enough in the sun that you need sunscreen to avoid sunburns?

WTF are those prices. I’d start looking into importing from abroad …

But it’s gross :C
(summer sunshine is also gross even without sunburns, though, so I never get sunburns anyway)

- Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 1 month ago:
Fair. There are a lot of bands that usually have a completely different sound from their popular songs (which can be pretty disappointing when you like listening to albums).
- Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 1 month ago:
‘pop rock’ seems appropriate.

The article says right there that only 1 in 3 people are doing that (in europe).
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 1 month ago:
What strawman? I’m talking about my old phones in my drawer, though I doubt that’s rare.
The thing with that is that nobody can get (much) use out of my old phones, because I already use them until they’re broken or unreasonably old - when even aftermarket ROMs like LineageOS don’t get security updates anymore, it’s time to retire that phone, and I regularly use my phones beyond that point.

Now that sounds like the 4chan I know.
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 1 month ago:
My last phone broke after about 1.5 years of me using it (and it was already a refurbished device), and my current relatively new-to-me phone only has 2 years of security updates left (also refurbished). I’m probably going to use it for longer than that if it doesn’t break, but that would definitely be a good time to get a new phone if money was no object and I didn’t give a shit about the environment.
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 1 month ago:
The thing is, recycling is clearly better for the environment than having 3 unused old phones in your drawer.
- Comment on Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones 1 month ago:
Who isn’t? If the phone doesn’t break, it becomes unusably slow with any operating system that still receives security updates (if there are any, which is not a given). Also, I have my doubts on whether it’s actually possible to reliably delete all data from your old phone as a consumer.

How do you do that, though? For obvious reasons, the rich and powerful aren’t going to suddenly start pouring their resources into progressive messaging, and there’s only so much you can do when you’re diametrically opposed to them.
