Men had privileged position in the society for millennia.
Other people had this privileged position in society for millennia. The people turning away from progressive politics aren’t wearing top hats, their hands are oil-covered. When you tell them they are privileged, that everything is just handed to them, they look around and wonder what you are talking about.

If 98% of Lemmy wants to kill all men, that’s a pretty shit state of affairs.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 4 days ago:
Yeah, that was a very, very odd choice.
You have Eve Online, a PC exclusive MMO. And you try to sell the playerbase on a PS3 game? Most of them literally don’t have the proprietary hardware to run that game but 100% of them have a gaming PC sitting right in front of them…
This isn’t to say don’t include the PS3, but why the hell wasn’t it on PC where the entire Eve fanbase is?
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 4 days ago:
CCP and their affiliates have been incurring sizeable losses instead. They released a mobile game, EVE Echoes, via NetEase shortly after the acquisition, but this has apparently fallen short of expectations, and CCP are now focusing rather heavily on “web3” games fuelled by blockchain bullshit. They are also still trying to make an EVE Online FPS, despite screwing this up three times in a row.
CCP had a one-hit-wonder and never again figured out how to make a game.

Drop policies that have been consistent long-term losers like expanded gun control.
Suppressors are a literally a hearing safety device/noise pollution reducer and Democrat politicians describe them like they get all their information from a John Wick movie. It would be so easy for the party to drop the matter entirely and throw politically-homeless gun owners a bone by taking suppressors off the NFA.
Force through policies that improve their lives at the cost of others, for example, healthcare paid for by taxing billionaires
Yep! Follow that up with policies that improve people’s lives and we have a ticket that writes itself.

Start by no longer telling men who have done nothing wrong they are responsible for the misdeeds of others. It breeds resentment and closes people to anything else you have to say.
- Comment on Steam Beta finally enables Proton on Linux fully, making Linux gaming simpler 5 days ago:
This is a good change. One of my friends had some confusion over the install button not appearing for some small games, he had to go toggle this on. It being available by default for all games is great!
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 6 days ago:
If you debate people and neutral onlookers find themselves agreeing more with the other guy than they were at the start, the answer is to re-evaluate your arguments. When you go to social shaming, while you may get people to shut up, you also solidify those people against you. You blocked off the mechanism for those onlookers to have their mind changed and created resentment for the social cost you impose on them.
Isn’t it weird how when you talk to someone online they generally won’t go against the grain, yet Trump now won a second term? And not only that, but he won the popular vote this time around with 14,317,752 more votes than he got the first time around.
That is what social shaming does. Instead of trying to convince people, you force them against you.

race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning
Physical traits are passed through genes onto kids. The kids have much the same traits as the parents. Asian parents have asian kids. Why are we doing elementary biology here?
This really isn’t the argument y’all should be latching onto.

doesn’t make much sense to group them so roughly
Just as I would not generally group people by eye color, the fact remains eye color is real.
tell them race isnt real
This is the shit I was responding too. And rhetoric like this is painfully contrary to even elementary biology.

tell them race isnt real
Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two asians have a baby, you get an asian baby.
Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two slavs have a baby, you get a salvic baby.
Race is most certainly real.
- Comment on Can you clear a straight line of malfunctioning pixels on a phone with a lighter? 1 week ago:
That sounds like the connection itself somehow got fucked up. A flame probably isn’t going to fix that.
You can put a flame to a screen for a few seconds and they are usually fine. But really, you should be looking into a screen repair or new/used phone.
- Comment on Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say? 1 week ago:
It’s actually a specially made glass that is thin and flexible
The foldable screens scratch at a Mohs hardness level of 2. Glass doesn’t scratch until 6.
- Comment on Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say? 1 week ago:
Advantages:
- The screen is protected when the phone is closed
- It allows for a larger screen while maintaining portability
Disadvantages:
- The screen is plastic, instead of glass. Meaning it is very easy to scratch
- The screen has a hump where the hinge is
- The hinge can get dirt in it, at which point you start developing lots of problems
- They are very expensive
I personally buy mid-budget phones, which means these aren’t even a consideration. But, I probably wouldn’t buy one even at the same price due to the plastic screens being very easy to scratch and a larger screen not having much value for me. But, really it’s up to you what you value in your phone.
- Comment on Do you think my co-worker will hear about this? 2 weeks ago:
This morning I walk into the office and she greets me with a “hey!” and huge smile
Your cute coworker is greeting you with a huge smile. Almost no matter the cause, she is brightened by your presence which is something you should default to being a good thing.
Go have lunch with her and enjoy your day. Don’t stress over stuff you can’t change.
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the framerate jumping around that causes it. A consistent 30fps feels better than 30, 50, 30, 60, 45, etc. Many games will have a frame cap feature, which is helpful here. Cap the game off at whatever you can consistently hit in the game that your monitor can display. If you have a 60hz monitor, put the cap at 60.
Also, many games add motion blur, AI generated frames, and other things that really just fuck up everything. You can normally turn those off, but you have to know to go do it.
If you are on console, good fucking luck. Developers rarely include such options on console releases.

And this is exactly why I use ProtonMail. My old Gmail is now a junk folder I check…about never.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, grease is a big deal. After things like bacon, drain the fat into the trash (or into a bowl and later the trash), then wash in the sink. This minimizes how much grease is entering your pipes and thus vastly reducing the need to unclog your pipes.

Works perfectly fine on my machine I bought over two decades after the game came out, looks significantly better than when the game came out too. Sounds like pretty damn good upgradability to me.

Good on the judge for following up on the citations.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s pretty annoying. Best thing you can do do is sub to communities that don’t have it. As an example, the linux communities are pretty big and low on politics.
- Comment on internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times 1 month ago:
Manual reviewers basically sort by ‘most flagged’ and start working down the list. By the time you get to just a few flags, it’s 99.99% BS flags, such flagged videos obviously would not be taken down and are in very, very numerous quantity. Videos that get flagged by more people are obviously more likely to be real flags and worthy of a reviewer’s time.

Growing up impoverished certainly teaches one poor lessons for how to get out of poverty; however adults have the ability to learn and modify their behavior. Helping adults modify their behavior in positive ways must be encouraged as it is one of the ways out of the cycle.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 month ago:
What will you argue if I bring up the fact that they ripped off countless Pokemon?
The case case isn’t about character designs, the case is about patents Nintendo filed after PocketPair released a game with said mechanics. The idea that one should be able to patent a game mechanic someone else has already released in their games is BS. Japan’s patent system sucks and Nintendo sucks for abusing it.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 month ago:
Summoning creatures from a sphere is hardly blatant plagiarism. Many, many, many games have the ability to summon creatures from an object. Pokemon was far from the first one to do it…

We are talking about gliding on a mount…a very common game feature…

Japanese ones are particularly worse. In the US a successful defense is prior art, there is no such defense in Japan.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 month ago:
As long as they let you turn off the upscaling I won’t complain about it. Unfortunately there has been a trend as of late to force it on; the artifacting drives me nuts. It’s always harder to to see in youtube videos though, since they are compressed quite a bit compared to live play.
Biggest thing that concerns me was their focus on pushing one into multiplayer in V. I’m worried that is going to intensify since it made them so damn much money doing that last time.
Either way, game isn’t out for a year, and it isn’t out for PC for probably two years. So, just going to go back to enjoying my Breath of Fire IV playthrough I’m currently doing. :)
