None of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/5 actually follow the precedent - it’s not threeth and fiveth - half and quarter are just the clearest. If anything, it’s sixth and upwards (downwards?) that don’t follow the precedent set by the start of the series.

How do you say 1/2

We can also buy 0.5% shandy at any age.
- Comment on Games with singleplayer campaigns that let me fight/kill nazis? 1 week ago:
I spent so much time playing MoH: Frontline as a kid. Achievements didn’t exist but it gave you stats at the end of each mission and I replayed the levels over and over until I killed every nazi with only groin shots.
- Comment on A third so far! 1 week ago:
It doesn’t matter if you disagree, that’s what it is. Socialism is the economic system of communism and anarchism, worker ownership of the means of production, or at the very least the process of moving to that economy. It’s not compatible with capitalism and the private ownership of means of production.

I’ve found quite a lot of places don’t let you accrue leave, but if they don’t carry it over they have to pay you for it instead, so are very eager for you to use all your leave.
- Comment on A third so far! 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t say anything about how you think they should be achieved.
It might not include many specifics but “by eliminating capitalism” is definitely one of them. Without that you’re just describing Keynesian capitalism.

Right wing thugs are invading our streets to march around doing Hitler salutes, but the police choose to arrest clapping pensioners instead.

Liberals will not read Capital and then say Marx didn’t consider something he explicitly covered in Capital.
- Comment on Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol 5 weeks ago:
Breath of Death VII does not have any prequels.
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen was subtitled part 5, as Ogre Battle was intended to be a 7 part series, but only 4 games got released. - Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog 5 weeks ago:
Ah, my friends and I have just been treating almost all pals as communal, so we’ve been blending everything we can get our hands on and passing around spares to use as materials - that then means we also have more powerful pals for the expeditions and raid bosses on top of generally keeping our boxes relatively clear.
- Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog 5 weeks ago:
Do you not regularly chuck your spares in the
blendercondenser? I don’t think I’ve more than half filled my palbox. - Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog 1 month ago:
I think the similarity is really with the Pokémon game we imagined would be available by now. I understand the most recent games have taken steps away from the classic formula, but we’ve been imagining stuff like flying around the map on your mons and open world battling for decades. Pocket pair just took that imaginary game and added guns.

- Comment on Asylum seekers to be billed £10k to cover own support once they start earning money 1 month ago:
It’s 100% about reinforcing the culture of fear and discouraging asylum - if they wanted to filter those in need they’d be spending the money to effectively administer asylum claims instead of leaving them in years of limbo.
- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 1 month ago:
Stop being a drama queen, I have worse hardware than a steam machine and can play most modern games at 60fps 1080p on medium settings, or high with fsr. The vast majority of people aren’t targeting 240fps 4k on Ultra.
- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 1 month ago:
The average user doesn’t want to install an OS though, that’s the whole point of selling it as a complete, pre built package.
Sure, this is a little more powerful than the steam machine, but it lacks all of the actual selling points of the steam machine. - Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 1 month ago:
Yeah, but this way you also have the inconvenience of having to build it and install the OS yourself.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I had one to install windows 7 and play a few games at the time, but got rid of it last year to fit my PC into a smaller case because I hadn’t used it in about a decade.
- Comment on Solved or not, what games have great detailed mysteries/conspiracy theories that you can completely miss? 1 month ago:
Noita is full of these, being designed specifically to require community cooperation to solve, but the big unsolved one is the Eye Messages. They must be important, because they’re one of the only secrets that won’t appear at all with mods active, but nobody’s managed to decide them yet.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 1 month ago:
I fear your understanding of context is matched by your understanding of economics if you think your first two claims are true. It’s a PC at a PC price, and your unfamiliarity with the market doesn’t change that.
Melodramatic means exactly what I think it means - I’m saying you’re being overemotional to make a drama out of a non-issue, as backed up by your projective accusations - I don’t want one, I’m not it’s target audience. You, on the other hand, are here raging that it… Costs a normal price for a computer of its specs. It’s obvious this isn’t a real issue, you’re just reactively hating on Valve.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 1 month ago:
They’re not buying at the prices your local hardware store bought them at though, they’re buying at the future price of hardware when it actually gets built for them. It’s not price gouging.
I talked about SSD prices in an entirely separate sentence, it doesn’t make any contextual sense for you to lump it into the previous statement.
The literal next sentence he says is “but blender put it near the 5600x”. You’re comparing it’s worst performing tasks to general performance.
You are being melodramatic.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 1 month ago:
That’s not price gouging, I didn’t ask if you’ve seen SSD prices, and no benchmark has it losing against a zen+ CPU that runs a GHz slower. You’re not even being contrarian now, just melodramatic.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 1 month ago:
I don’t know if you’ve seen prices recently but it’s seems pretty on par for a zen 4 CPU, RDNA 3 GPU and 16gb DDR5. SSD prices seem high but apparently the supply’s about to get heavily throttled so it may be accounting for that.

Both wrong, unfortunately, you just don’t know how Lemmy works. The quoted section comes from the metro website, that’s why the section is outlined in green - if OP had added something, it would be outlined in grey.

Takes a special level of suicidal to go to a city with a location called The Curry Mile and say British subjects shouldn’t be welcome.

No they didn’t, that’s the byline from the source. OP hasn’t added anything to the body.
- Comment on Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't. 1 month ago:
I ate so well for a few months as a student until the local Waitrose started chaining their bins shut. Quite a lot of people did in fact, which is presumably why they started chaining them shut.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 months ago:
Battleborn eventually shut down with a mixed rating on Steam, but I don’t accept that. Battleborn was a great game with terrible publicity and if randy had just said “FPS MOBA” instead of trying to compete with overwatch I could still be playing my beloved grenade-chicken.
