I’ve had an experience where I simply asked a french cashier if they spoke english and she threw a fit. Spoke to me in French and mixed my items with the next customer’s.

There can be more than one problem.
That’s not what you’ve been saying until now.
A coup still inherently relies on there being internal forces willing to execute said coup.
No shit, what are you trying to say? Are you saying there exists political systems which are immune to people wanting to stage a coup?
I don’t dare say being capitalist could have stopped this particular one, quite likely it couldn’t. But it it is at least more resilient in general.
How would it be more resilient?
If it was impossible to resist superpower sponsored coups, I am sure the Baltics wouldn’t be able to remain democratic right next to Russia.
What coup attempts are you talking about? Let’s try to focus on coups that were at least attempted or has any substantial evidence of being in the works.
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 2 weeks ago:
The problem isn’t political systems, it’s superpowers intervening, e.g. america funding fascist coups of democratically elected socialists. It would be hard for any small nation, regardless of political system, to defend against a coup funded by a superpower. Please prove me wrong and tell me how e.g. the coup in Chile 1973 could have been prevented by decentralizing power.
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 2 weeks ago:
In many of these cases, the political system which couldn’t withstand coups were democracies. Does this mean that democracy isn’t useful? Are you saying that democracies should forbid socialists from being elected since if they get elected then america will intervene and the democracy will cease to be useful? Sounds like you don’t care for democracy and self-determination of nations. Bonus points will be awarded for being able to make your point without a potion metaphor.

Damn, capitalism sure is great and is definitely working
- Comment on I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles 5 weeks ago:
Well said!
- Comment on I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles 5 weeks ago:
I suppose if their only source of considerable income was from snacks, then the comparison would make sense. Although it doesn’t make sense from a customer perspective where you’re paying more than 20 $/€ for a ticket (at least in Sweden)
- Comment on I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles 5 weeks ago:
The largest cinema corporation in Sweden (when asked about why they chose to restrict people from bringing their own snacks) infamously compared bringing snacks not bought at the cinema to brining your own food to a restaurant.

Scientists are spending time and money to torture mice simply for fun with no practical use? Sounds very believable

Quite obviously through regulation.

Abstracting “meth users” to “drug users” is hell of a leap.

When you want to do violence but it’s generally frowned upon so you have to find a way to justify it
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
Either way you interpret it, there’s no constructive intention. Simply saying it and not elaborating is an insult, a personal attack or whatever you want to call it.

You forgot the most important part: no ad revenue from text posts on youtube.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
What is a text post if not written content? You can’t even write properly, I don’t trust you as an authority on what is written content or not.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
No. Vaguely implying that someone has a problem is very much a personal attack. I understand that you’re upset by my opinions but how about you cry me a river?

So there’s some magical limitation which only lets him make videos? He’s doomed to solely create videos and if he as much as thinks about writing a blog post, he gets struck by lightning or something? What an interesting phenomenon.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
Going for personal attacks when you cannot think of a response? Peak intellect.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
Yes, you can. Ignorant prick.

I don’t believe that you’ve read a book in your entire life if you consider automatic transcriptions to be comparable to actual written text.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
I see it all the time. Maybe your creators don’t care about the feature? Also, you can simply use the description of the video. Of course, this means less ad watch time so obviously not happening.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
Automatic transcripts are not comparable to intentionally written text. Are you actually serious?
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
Watching/listening to a recording is faster than reading something.
That’s just wrong.
I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.
Why post it to youtube in that case? If you’re watching a video where the only the audio is relevant, why the fuck is it a video?
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
Total shit argument. You can publish text on youtube too.
- Comment on The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms 4 months ago:
The brilliant part about writing text is that you don’t have to read all of it. You can have sections where people can find the information they actually are interested in. The only problem is less ad money.

Why does he feel that it’s necessary to present the information by talking into a webcam? What’s wrong with publishing text?

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but hosting internet services is not free at all. I could fully understand why you’d basically force people to pay at least something instead of hoping that people choose to donate.
Lemmy is supposed to be a FOSS platform.
FOSS is free and open source SOFTWARE, i.e. the software is the free part. You’re free to host your own Lemmy instance if you’re displeased.
