  Looks to me like the supposed dad’s joke satirizes the bullshit that rightwingers peddle, while also complaining about the much less outlandish but actually real, and obviously infuriating, issue of teacher having to pay for chalk and other lesson supplies. That’s punching up, not down.

  The German nazis targeted their political opponents first in the 1930s, too. And IDK about Norway, but German neonazis also target Jews and immigrants.

  AFAIK most of the cheap ones Just Work™. At least on Linux, would be unusual if that wasn’t true on other operating systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's never been about helping people⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d also have to put a number on the value of prison labor - it’s unethical, but that never stopped the suits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paul it's Barack Obama⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems legit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon comes into some money⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could buy a ravioli can for $1 …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's hell out there folks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Abuse families are pretty common, so … y’know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone out there?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say there’s a better users-to-bots ratio in Lemmy threads, and the smaller amount of comments encourages actually interacting with the other users. And it really helps that there’s the option to switch and block instances, though that also makes Lemmy rather fragmented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone out there?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, Lemmy is still run by humans, and many of the issues that you’d see on platforms like Reddit are just standard human issues. Plus it’s easy to make bots for Lemmy and to circumvent Lemmy bans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has seen it all before⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Aliens are humanoid and sexually attractive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, the settlement system is annoying. I also hate everything about MMOs, though, and IMO it’s diametrically opposed to everything that made Bethesda games good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse than Fallout 76?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s amazing, and surprising that the boss actually stayed dead!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people who played both probably have an order of magnitude more playtime in Minecraft, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate it too, but I don’t think it was that bad in Skyrim or Fallout 4. Mostly just Oblivion that dropped the ball on this hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think sequence breaking is fun, and you need a somewhat open world for that. IME many modern open world games avoid this by tightly tying loot to levels or stats that you increase by leveling, which kinda defeats the point of open world games IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you safely and privately child-proof a PC?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got the impression that most of the local childproofing solutions are router-based, not something you install on the device itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heh Heh Suckers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Many Germans did vote for Hitler (never the absolute majority of voters, though), even though he was clearly hateful and evil and obviously making lots of false claims, and on top of that looked completely ridiculous when he was shouting and screaming in his speeches. Can’t remember seeing any German say that they don’t believe that anyone voted for the guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes cooking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can even just not do anything for a couple of days if you feel unwell!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just don’t play it with him, then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heh Heh Suckers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s going to be Germany 1933-1945 all over again, except the leader is considered even more of a clown than the first time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heh Heh Suckers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ll see how many primary sources even survive the following decades.

  Though I don’t envy anyone who has to do history science when a large amount of primary sources are available. Imagine having to analyse Trump tweets for a paper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For real though⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s kinda surprising actually, it seems so diametrically opposed to everything that Reddit is doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For real though⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, how does that work? I already have JS disabled by default and I use a browser extension to redirect me to old.reddit. Does Reddit serve a special site specifically for Tor users?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For real though⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So recently, Reddit started blocking people going on the site unauthenticated. I still end up regularly on Reddit when I’m web searching, but it’s looks like those days are thoroughly over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At my house we dine with some goddamn class⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  43 con leche is a popular drink in Spain, it’s literally a milk-based long drink. I don’t think it would be as popular as it is if everyone got diarrhea from it. Could be pushing it if you’re drinking those all evening, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it wasn’t the US, very few countries are going to put you on disability because of stuff like insomnia or social anxiety. If your country still has halfway-decent social security, you’re most likely going to end up on some kind of general-purpose unemployment benefits, but that’s often a very precarious position.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every decent country has a program for severely disabled citizens.

  We’re still talking about the US, right? Lots of people fall through the cracks because their issues don’t get recognized as a “real” disability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you seriously saying that every person with chronic health issues / disabilities would be able to work a job if they just really tried? There’s a huge variety of illnesses that is diametrically opposed to any kind of work life, e.g.:

  • ME/CFS

  • nonverbal autism

  • frequent panic attacks, e.g. due to extreme social anxiety, PTSD etc.

  • some kind of heavy chronic pain, like a fucked up back

  • heavy insomnia

  • fucked up arms

  Even if it’s theoretically possible to make it work, it’s quite possible that even living with their parents, OOP doesn’t have access to the necessary healthcare, and depending on the exact region the laws might be not at all accomodating for employees with disabilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is only a little strange⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d need to get into that kind of retro content first (more of a late 90s/early 00s kind of person), but you’re right, that resolution would be perfectly fine for older pixel graphics (assuming the streaming codec doesn’t mangle it somehow)!
