  Fantastic game, recommend all their Metro games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good feel good film I can watch next week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Norwegian movie: The Worst Person In the World

  Great movie about life, love and finding who you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone remember Courage?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How can I forget? It had scary stories and memorable characters.

  The barber that did not care about consent for instance, clearly drawing parallels to real life. That episode is chilling even as an adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the reaction. “It seems like you are having a lovely weekend here in Malmö” 😂 Happy for him, but understand the embarrassment as well.

  I would not have recognized that sound before I heard it now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its one of many contradictory ways I live my life. I am well aware of many of them, and change them gradually to align myself more with my beliefs. I find that I manage OK, but sometimes wish I was better.

  I’ll probably become ovo lacto flexitarian in the future. That was what I managed to be for the longest. And it has 80% of the same effect or more. The rule was that I never bought meat or made food with meat. When I was served meat at family or friends, I would just eat it then. It reduced all the social friction, and made it so much easier. I lasted for a year or two.

  Pure vegan is unrealistic short term for me. Maybe I’ll try in the future, or flexitarian vegan instead of ovo lacto flexitarian. Not sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am unfortunately not. It was more meant as a way to say that for instance criminals (yes, even the worst ones) have value. That they deserve to live and have a decent life, no matter what.

  That immigrants and asylum seekers should be treated with respect and given the help they need.

  But also that animals have value. The way a lot of animals are treated is in no way acceptable.

  I have tried being a vegetarian in the past, but have failed every time.

  Sorry to disappoint. I wish I was better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe all life have value, no matter what. I believe in justice and equality. I believe in the rule if law. I believe in democracy. I believe in the freedom of speech. I believe in religious freedom. I believe no one should go hungry. I believe no one should freeze. I believe no one should die from preventable diseases. I believe everyone has a right to education. I believe everyone has a right to healthcare. I believe everyone has a right to participate in society and the internet. I believe everyone should contribute if they can, because that is fair. I believe people should be able to retire. I believe most people are good, and want to do good. I believe in cooperation, and working towards a common goal. I believe that all people should have a minimum set of rights, that are non-negotiable. I trust my neighbours, my family and strangers.

  Based on these values I could be placed anywhere from center-right to far-left in Europe.

  In the US I am a filthy commie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue with this is signal-to-noise ratio. If everything is equally valuable speech, then it becomes a bad platform for discussion.

  The solution is for the individuals that want to share their right wing views to do so from an instance that are not consided problematic. I live in Norway, we are considered one of the most democratic countries in the world, and we do not allow hate speech.

  A lot of the speech from right wing Americans would easily be considered unlawful here. With good reason.

  There is nothing stopping someone with right wing views from registering and sharing their opinions on most Lemmy instances. Except if they want to act as bigots. They are free to talk about pretty much any traditional right wing topic. They can talk about immigration, how the money will trickle down anytime now, and most topics.

  Right wing people are welcome at Lemmy. They are just not allowed to spread hate and be explicit bigots. The ones who leave or don’t join are not censored, they are just whiny and complain when people are sick of their shit.

  Yep, I have the 2.4ghz dongle ones with hall effect sensors and charging stand. Its just better and cheaper. The dongle is so that I don’t have to sync, I kinda like the whole plug in and it just works.

  I have followed your daily gaming posts since you began. Appreciate the content!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m probably no longer center-left. If you could decide from my thinking, what political affiliation should I research to see if it fits me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am happy people are giving good feedback to you. Empathy is something that you can get more of over time, it’s not static.

  Do you feel that the rich deserve all that money and power while you and everyone you know have to work hard for simple necessities? Or does that unfair situation make you a bit angry? It makes me.

  You might not personally care about many of these issues emotionally, but you can think rationally.

  What happens if the poorest countries in the world becomes uninhabitable due to climate change? Refugees, lots and lots of refugees. No other refugee situation can even closely compare to this.

  What happens if you get disabled? A safety net is nice. You don’t have to care about them, but a guaranteed dignified life for them and yourself is to everones benefit.

  You might not care about LGBT rights, but that’s exactly why they should get them. Why care, it doesn’t hurt you in any way?

  You might not think what the republicans are doing will affect you, but it will. They are cutting the government to the bone at the moment, this will in turn mean the government will provide worse services to you.

  They are also implementing tariffs. The new tariff on goods from Europe basically mean that a thing produced in Europe now will cost you 25% more to buy. The same tariffs will be implemented on Canada and Mexico soon. It could surprise you how much is imported from Europe, Canada and Mexico. The thought behind it is that American goods will be priced more competitively. But in the end, you still have to pay more…

  This stuff affects you. You don’t have to do much, really. Just vote democrat if this makes sense to you. You don’t have to be politically active. Just go to the booths and vote once in a while.

  Just don’t fight against peoples freedom. Feel free to think egotistically though, if you really think about it you probably stand to gain from voting for the left. Unless you are rich of course, then republican might be the way to go. There is a reason the rich love republicans. There are some concepts that might not make immediate sense, which is why you should want higher taxes, the government isnt that ineffective, and that immigration is probably not really that big of a deal. The higher taxes bit is basically that everyone pools their money together, the rich have to pour a lot more into the pool than the average, then the government spends the money on services for all. So you might put in 100$ and someone making twice as much as you 250$. You end up with services which is worth 175$.

  When you feel the pull towards the right, consider if what you believe or hear is actually true or makes sense. A lot of the time it is not. The most common “enemy” for the right is immigrants, and now lgbt. Check statistics and do some research yourself when in doubt.

  Anyways good luck on your soul searching, and sorry for the long rant/lecture 😉

  404media is great as always. Interesting comments about the legality of this.

  And another point, as a man a lot younger than say Salma Hayek. I’d happily be her young handsome piece of action. I would also get to be with an extremely attractive woman.

  The same goes for these women and Leonardo Di Caprio. He is objectively an attractive man. It’s also bragging rights. I was in a relarionship with x-celeb. Of course many women dream of being with him, and of course a lot of them are gorgeous.

  I think they are both having a great time, and see no reason to judge.

  I fully agree let’s care about the things that actually matter and actually hurt people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d call this a win and love. Being open to being wrong is a great quality.

  I see some people here not recognizing that this is a great development, or enough or whatever. These things take time for society to adjust to. Going from being skeptical / negative to a full blown ally is unreasonable to expect from someone in a short timeframe.

  Being open to change and different opinions is something we should always support. That path might be rocky and hard, sometimes almost impossible.

  For the sake of diplomacy and making him even more supportive seriously consider getting that “second opinion”, even though it might feel valueless for you. He just wants to make sure that you don’t make a huge irreversible mistake.

  Makeup, dressing in clothes and taking some hormones or whatever is one thing, irreversible surgery is another thing. So I kinda get where he is coming from, but you probably know what’s best for you.

  Anyways, good luck, and I wish you the best going forward, and am happy this is going in the right direction for you 🌈❤️

  Contacts gives you full field of vision, and they don’t get dirty. If you are lucky you only have to take them off and on for switching once per month and can sleep with them. I am one of those, and can buy the cheapest contacts too.

  In other words, always good vision, with full FOV

  I’ll give a good faith reply, I hope you will do the same 😊

  See the video yourself, both times he does it. How much force and how strict it is. How determined it is. If you doubt that it is real, try to do exactly the same yourself (when no one sees), and then it will probably become obvious that it is in no way a coincidence.

  Everyone has had their hand up like that to wave at some point. The difference is how it got there and the entire gesture.

  The left can sometimes be overreacting, but this is in no way an overreaction. This is a gruesome reminder and a mockery of the darkest part of human history. He’s not a teenage edgelord anymore. He’s >50 years old, the worlds richest man and a part of the administration of the most powerful country in the world.

  Can you find a video of a high profile democrat gesturing the same way as Elon, or a nazi?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More Censorship by Meta⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried to find news articles that supported your claim that more than just democrats was blocked.

  I found a couple that said that democrats were blocked, but found it strange that the journalists did not try other obvious hashtags aswell.

  Does anyone know of any third party that can verify this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you forgive someone that poisoned your dog when they only offer bad faith apology ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well… It depends.

  Was it truly deliberate, as in “I want to poison this dog, so that it dies”? If yes, then there is hard to forgive, maybe not possible. The only way would be if they reported themself to the police and offered a sincere apology, and then I would not let them near my dog as long as it lives. But could maybe forgive in time if they did all that.

  Deliberate is also not black and white. Were they negligent? As in knew that dogs can’t really have onions, but did fed them food with just a little bit of onion in it, thinking it would be fine? Negligence can be forgiven, but only with a sincere apology.

  I would forgive them if it was not deliberate at all. Even with a pretty bad apology.

  If this person is important in your life, or are closely related, I would explain to them that the apology did not feel sincere, and that you consider it hard to forgive. Ask that they try again.

  Also, do forgive them for your own sake, no reason to be angry in the long term, but you don’t have to trust them.

  If it was a child that did this everything is very different. The answer assumed a person 18-20+

  That’s my take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bumper sticker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of the things that bother me with people being anti-trans. Why the hell do they care? There is nothing, NOTHING that trans people are asking for that bother me, because it does not affect my life. I don’t see how it affects theirs either.

  There are two things I know little about when it comes to trans.

  1. How to make it fair in sports, but I really don’t care for sports. So I haven’t researched it. Don’t really care if they participate, but I don’t take sports seriously anyways.

  2. How to protect vulnerable people from themselves. This is probably contraversial, but I am for giving trans people the treatment they need to transition, or at least make sure it is possible at a later stage by giving hormones / blockers. So that they can transition a bit older.

  However (the controversial part) many trans people are vulnerable and also struggle with other issues and operations is often permanent. This is something that I don’t believe is easy to decide, I am ignorant here, I trust medical professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists and the trans community to come up with guidelines / practice here. It is however not something that I think politicians should decide, or is competent in deciding.

  The only reason I care about point 2 is to protect people from mistakes, not to stop trans people from transitioning!

  Thanks for reading my rant 😊
