- Comment on SHAME. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen Europeans make the fact that Americans don’t generally drink unpasteurized milk into a “yanks dumb” thing
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 4 weeks ago:
In the context of Lemmy, my best explanation is that tankies hate Orwell.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 4 weeks ago:
Every other time I’ve encountered this argument, it’s been an argument in favor of racism and xenophobia, often a Nazbol argument like “socialism only works if no diversity.” I refuse it.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
So many of the people who are most invested in federation are a contradiction in terms; centralized social media is evil and it’s fucked up that it’s the norm, but also anyone who isn’t a cynical, crotchety Gen Xer with a tech degree doesn’t belong.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but that’s keeping in mind that, contrary to popular belief among the types that go on Lemmy, most people aren’t ideological. They don’t care that Democrat A is this and Democrat B is that, they care about who they think will help their lives, ideology be damned. So, a lot of the people that socialists would call “libs” would vote for Bernie, BUT, most of those people think of Sanders primarily as “more liberal.”
People who are actively aware of the difference between neoliberalism and social democracy, I’m not sure. But I honestly think they’re a rounding error in US politics.
- Comment on US Democracy 1 month ago:
Nixon (also Reagan and Johnson) severely damaged it, Trump is just the end stage.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
If the Communists are willing to do what they say we need to do.
- Comment on They're the same picture. 2 months ago:
I just think it’s a matter of the crowd Lemmy has attracted. The circumstances of Lemmy’s creation and growth aren’t exactly conducive to being full of fun loving people.
- Comment on Temperatures 2 months ago:
Yeah, but the other two cold ones are unsurvivable weather. 21F is very survivable.
- Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing 2 months ago:
The thing is, we know Nintendo does have in-house developed emulators that they used for Virtual Console and then NSO and the Classic Edition.
It’s fairly likely they didn’t take the effort to port those to PC for the museum, but still.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 3 months ago:
Minecraft is mostly popular with people who were 5 - 12 years old 10 years ago.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:
Fascists provide easy (but often fake) answers to hard problems. Loneliness, the fear of replacement, that kind of thing.
- Comment on Anon wants American companies to make a good RPG 4 months ago:
Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada
- Comment on Is Asmongold an alt-right "entrypoint" influencer? 4 months ago:
He strikes me as more a rube that occasionally picks up alt-right talking points than a dedicated follower. At least on one occasion he called out Moon, a shitty right wing video essayist, for lying, but he went really hard on anti-Sweet Baby Inc. content.
So I guess he could unintentionally? But intention doesn’t really matter here. His fanbase probably leans right too.
- Comment on Look you've just to got read the prologue that was a limited edition IHOP giveaway in 2015 and the story is awesome 4 months ago:
Fate is only difficult for people who are adamant about watching adaptations. And even though I do think the UBW anime at least reaches the threshold of “good,” it’s still inferior.
- Comment on Anon notices 5 months ago:
Doesn’t explain gay men.
- Comment on Reject reality 5 months ago:
I thought it was “want you in my room when the baby is sick” until today
- Comment on It's Time To Stop Giving Xbox Boss Phil Spencer A Pass It's Time To Stop Giving Xbox Boss Phil Spencer A Pass (Opinion) 7 months ago:
Game Pass is a profoundly stupid decision. It doesn’t make it’s money back and now Xbox users are used to not paying for games. And from a consumer perspective, enshittification always eventually happens with subscriptions.
- Comment on Choose your difficulty 7 months ago:
USA is Easy mode. It’s just that Europe, Australia, and Canada are Very Easy mode.
- Comment on What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time? 11 months ago:
Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Kirby Planet Robobot for the same reason: while not the most innovative games and not necessarily my favorites in their respective franchises, they represent nearly flawless implementations of their respective franchise’s ideas.
