- Comment on Why do I have to pay tariffs for importing the following stuff into the EU now? 6 hours ago:
Honestly, if the tariff means Nintendo gets less money, then it isn’t all bad.

Pirate it and seed, even if you’re not gonna play.
- Comment on Is the 3DS worth purchasing despite it being "obsolete" today? 9 hours ago:
I bought one for the first time earlier this year, and absolutely love it.
Depends on what games you like, but you should be able to find something to enjoy.
Switch lineup has replaced it
Fun fact: Switch isn’t really a successor to the 3DS, but rather the result of a series of cost cutting to the actual 3DS successor, which was, of course, originally going to be a dual-screen console.
- Comment on I'm tired 1 day ago:
Also because people come together during major crises.
And unfortunately, it does not look like we’ll be able to get rid of capitalism (and more importantly capitalists) without either a mass uprising or a devastating catastrophe (like total ecological collapse).
Currently we’re about to reach the latter, which I don’t think is preferable, but perhaps it’ll turn out well in the end. I sure hope so.
- Comment on AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. 5 days ago:
Best I can do is ban software decompilation.
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 1 week ago:
Pretty sure it’s close to 0% in the EU. Definitely is in my country, and it’s among the lowest quality of life ones.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It has nothing to do with prostitution. There’s no money involved, and nobody gains anything material.
I believe the idea is to just hook up, but with people you know and like, instead of strangers. Safer, probably cheaper, and maybe even beneficial outside of the obvious.
- Comment on In the deep freeze 1 week ago:
He might be management or HR. They’d never buy an extra machine even if half the common workers were lactose intolerant.
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 1 week ago:
As a top 1 percenter, I feel seriously offended by the suggestion that I’d sit anywhere close peasants, let alone at the same table.
/s obviously, because I wouldn’t be on lemmy if I was anywhere close the top 1%
- Comment on Console market craters as Xbox sales crash 33% to the lowest since launch 25 years ago, PS5 sales drop 25% 1 week ago:
Clearly this is because people are just tired of buying physical goods. They want digital consoles!
- Comment on Jeff Bezos claims AI could allow 3-day workweeks; man who won't give employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon 1 week ago:
Him paying just a little bit of taxes could give Americans a 3-day workweek.
- Comment on At least my dick is minty fresh 2 weeks ago:
Your inefficiency disgusts me.
Use soap or shower gel, and you clean it at the same time.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Dream job?
Any job that is 20 hours a week or less, pays enough to live well, and contributes something meaningful to society.
So exactly 0.002% of jobs in any capitalist shithole.
- Comment on Anon hates C++ 2 weeks ago:
You’d be surprised how few game devs actually touch any code. It’s not just artists or designers. Even the ‘programmers’ increasingly rely on visual tools instead of coding.
- Comment on Christa Pike at 18 years old when she was sentenced to death. She is now 50 and they are supposed to kill her this week 2 weeks ago:
The girl had pretty much the worst life imaginable in any rich country, leading to an extremely predictable outcome.
I’ve read this exact story many times, and it always ends the same.
For that she gets 32 years of pointless suffering, and then a failed attempt at death penalty.
If only there was money to fund help for such people. Anyway, let’s spend another billion dollars on bombing children in Iran.
- Comment on Christa Pike at 18 years old when she was sentenced to death. She is now 50 and they are supposed to kill her this week 2 weeks ago:
It’s not about either justice or revenge. It’s mostly about getting rid of troublesome people, because they’re bad for business.
- Comment on Minimum Wage Must Cover Basics 2 weeks ago:
Unless ‘full-time’ is 30 hours a week or less, even a part-time job should be enough to earn a living.
In some countries it actually is, but mentioning that would be communist propaganda.
- Comment on EU citizens on here, Ross Scott is warning about a draconian law in the European Unio. 2 weeks ago:
She’s just one of countless American assets ruining the entire EU from the inside.
All that scum belongs in camps in Siberia.
- Comment on EU citizens on here, Ross Scott is warning about a draconian law in the European Unio. 2 weeks ago:
So the European Comission will not act on the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative, because it wants to focus on deregulation, because apparently current regulations are too much of a burden on businesses (source needed).
And the same European Comission is perfectly fine implementing new regulations for the purposes of… ruining everything for everybody and establishing close to the most totalitarian regime in existence right now?
See, there’s always space for new regulation, as long as it benefits the oligarchs, and nobody else but the oligarchs!
- Comment on It's funny how once a country has Universal Healthcare they never give it up. 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, we might be slowly getting there.
A lot of countries have been and continue to erase public healthcare budgets, to the point where it barely functions.
Officially as a response to slowing economical growth… Because as usual, GDP is the only thing that matters, and of course, we just couldn’t possibly tax billionaires.
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 4 weeks ago:
Not to worry. We can always increase the limit to 24 hours per day, and make them drag the trailers with a bicycle.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 1 month ago:
“People need to work more for less pay.”

- Comment on UK recognises 'ethnic cleansing' in West Bank, sanctions settlements and declares Israeli occupation illegal 1 month ago:
Condemning illegal Israeli settlements is becoming worthless, because even the Israeli government itself is condemning them lately.
Even IDF internallly recognizes that 80% of terror attacks in the West Bank are perpetrated by Israeli ‘settlers’.
Source: timesofisrael.com/idf-officers-said-to-tell-pm-je…
The ‘settlers’ received a free pass so many times, now they got cocky enough to attack their own police officers.
Source: timesofisrael.com/…/cops-seize-pickup-allegedly-u…
So publicly condemning illegal Israeli settlements isn’t necessarily anti-Israel anymore. It’s still the extremely obvious right stance, but one that should have been taken 10 years ago, and not today, when the Israeli government itself is turning against the so-called settlers.
- Comment on Alcoholic billionaire says he wants to shove a camera up every workers ass. 1 month ago:
Genuinely how hard is it to at least pretend you’re not a nazi pedophile while being a nazi pedophile?
Not that I’m complaining necessarily. At least they’re making it easy to know which companies to avoid.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, the US, and some other Western democracies, operate based on capital. Bottom 60% owns nothing, so it’s the minority. Top 0.1% owns everything, so it’s the majority.
- Comment on Biggest, most beautiful pill. 1 month ago:
Sounds like somebody is illegally smuggling drugs to the US. When does the military bomb him?
- Comment on The uber wealthy arent leaving. Its a lie. 1 month ago:
Of course the rich are getting richer and richer. It’s quite a challenge not to grow richer once you’re already rich. You’d have to make several consecutive really bad decisions to achieve that.
The problem for them is that taxing the rich helps the poor, and slightly narrows the gap between the two classes. This is precisely what they cannot stand.
It doesn’t matter how much money the rich have, or how much more they will make in the next 12 months. What matters is how much more than you they have, because that’s what dictates their elite status in society.
All billionaires would happily lose all their billions, as long as it meant the poor lost even more. Because that would result in them being relatively richer, and so more powerful in a capitalist society.
This is also why they will oppose a shorter work week till their last breath. Sure, it’d benefit them, but it’d benefit regular people more, and so the elites would become less elite as a result. This is the only thing that really matters to them.
- Comment on No Such Thing 1 month ago:
So what’s the difference between ‘corporate greed’ and ‘the economy’ exactly?
- Comment on An American city has been without power for 2 weeks, unacceptable. 1 month ago:
I have to admit I did not expect the US to still perform so well after losing thousands of academics this and last year.
However, reading the article you linked, it strikes me as a pointless victory. A statistic that won’t lead to anything meaningful.
Sure, it’s cool that academics and scientists publish a lot of articles, but does it really matter if nobody reads them because access is paywalled? And does it really matter if government institutions, as well as private companies, will just go against the research, because they could not care less?
Personally, I’d be much more interested in something that tracks public access to academia, and its impact on society, especially government’s decision making. Because to me, this just feels like GDP. Good for bragging about being top 1, and nothing else.
Still, I have to give the empire at least a little credit for its universities’ performance.
