If a majority of boomers think Thing1, but you are a boomer who thinks Thing2 instead, you are not disproving a myth, you’re being an outlier. If you were to pick a random boomer off the street, there’s a very good chance that he thinks Thing1 instead of Thing2. So “boomers think Thing1” is a perfectly valid (if a bit casual) statment that adequately represents the underlying statistical facts of the situation.
It can be frustrating as a Thing2 boomer, but that’s just how it is. The world thinks Amercans are hateful, disgusting ghoulish greedy misanthopists, and it feels bad to hear that as an American who didn’t vote for Trump, but I accept the logic behind the generalization.

I didn’t say being fat “is a binary choice”, and I never mentioned anything about fad diets.
I get the impression that I’ve struck a nerve, and you just want to lash out. Sorry if I upset you, but this is unproductive. Your comments aren’t addressing anything I’m saying, you’re just throwing stuff out to vent.
I have loved ones who are obese. If you’re struggling with your weight, fwiw, I don’t believe you’re worth less because of it. But please don’t spread misinformation, and instead take the time to learn more about the topic. If not for your own sake, for the sake of others who might be lured away from the path to recovery by misinfo you may unintentionally spread.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the diet question. That neither invalidates nor supports what I said.
If someone wants to be fat, they can be fat. I don’t care what other people do with their lives. I’m just pointing out that the reason why a person becomes fat is well-known, proven science. Denying that is akin to vaccine skepticism; it’s actively harmful to society. The past 8 years are a great example of what happens when we allow misinformation and pseudoscience to propagate, even if it seems silly/fringe/nobody-actually-believes-that.

This is like vaccine skepticism.
Fat people are fat because they eat too much.
If Bob has a “slow metabolism”, then Bob should stop eating desert after dinner if he doesn’t want to be fat.

whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use “Schemel” or “Hocker” to describe such a stool.
So what you’re saying is that the meme doesn’t work in German either, because the furniture in the meme would be referred to as a “Schemel” rather than a “Stuhl”
This meme is an abortion of human language smh
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
I started using Lemmy like 2 years ago, stopped for a long time, and came back a few months ago. I’m sure something has changed in that time, but I don’t know what.
It could be because Lemmy is written in Rust, which is kind of notorious for how difficult it is to be productive in it. Or maybe it’s that there aren’t enough developers, or there isn’t enough funding.
In any case, my motivation to help fund this project is not helped by the insufferable cuntery of the tankies in the .ml communities. Knowing that the core devs are also tankies makes me want to see it fail. Fuck those people.
- Comment on AI generated issue 3 weeks ago:
Late but I’m pretty sure it’s a byproduct of the RHLF process used to train these types of models. Basically, they have a bunch of humans look at multiple outputs from the LLM and rate the best ones, and it turns out people find lists easier to understand than other styles (alternatively, the poor souls slaving away in the AI mines rating responses all day find it faster to understand a list than a paragraph through the blurry lens of mental fatigue)

We’re both armchair lawyering, so I don’t feel like continuing this discussion. I’ll just quote a part of your comment that I think is silly, both in the claim that is being made, and the confidence with which it is being made:
So, as strange as it is to say, most uploaded videos of a game is in some murky legal territory.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 4 weeks ago:
I was being sarcastic, fuck big publishers and big tech (Bethesda is both now), pirate all their shit, and shit on the game online so other people don’t buy it.
Although I’ll admit I couldn’t wait, and bought the remaster as soon as I saw it. Oblivion is a special game for me, and this remaster definitely does not disappoint.

I’ll wait for a cracked version.
Piracy is bad! But just so you know there are already people downloading a cracked version of the game illegally today! Can you believe it?!
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 4 weeks ago:
If something that would normally be copyrightable is leaked, then the only people who have legal rights to that work are still the original owners. Anyone taking/sharing it is breaching copyright.
It’s like you’re trying really hard to contort the discussion to make it seem like Nintendo has solid a case here. All the protections you’re talking about apply to works regardless of when or how they’re released. From the point of view of copyright law, a “leaked” recording of a game is no different from a regular recording of a game. Afaik, the guy in the OP isn’t being accused of sharing leaked game files.
If you’re trying to say that a recording of a video game is not considered fair use under copyright law, then I give you the existence of Youtube and Twitch as counter evidence.
I know some people have a misguided view…
Maybe, but I don’t see how that’s relevant here, unless you’re implying I have that misconception. If that’s the case, please point out which part of my comment lead you to this conclusion.

You’re actually unwell then. Seek professional help because Nintendo is not your friend. This is going to blow up in your face some day, and it is going to end poorly for you.
Mental health issues are complicated and suicide is awful, and idk you or your situation. Whatever happened, it’s good that you’re still here, but this religious devotion to a corporation is fucking disgusting. When you find out that Nintendo employees laugh at people like you during their lunch breaks, will you still feel like they’re your angels? How much labor have you given to them, both in the form of money you earned to buy their products, and online activity to defend their honor?
Don’t give yourself to a corporation like this. If you were saved, Nintendo weren’t the ones who did it.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 4 weeks ago:
I call Nintendo my angel of salvation and the mother I never had, but I’m just being realistic.
Upvoting just for this.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 4 weeks ago:
This argument is nonsense. Why don’t they go after regular review channels and streamers? What difference does it make that the game is streamed before release vs after?
Nintendo isn’t your friend. Every minute you waste defending their honor online can instead be spent finding real friends IRL
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 4 weeks ago:
So? Maybe there’s a case against him for regular piracy, but streaming a game pre-release doesn’t seem like anything remotely close to copyright infringement. If anything, it’s journalism and protected speech.
If a leak causes damage to Nintendo’s marketing plans, then Nintendo shouldn’t have let it leak in the first place. That’s negligence on their part.
Of course idk the full story here. Not showing up to court and handing Nintendo a default judgement is stupid.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 4 weeks ago:
It always reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 4 weeks ago:
I loaded it up on my Deck last night for a few minutes using the default settings (low preset) and was getting what seemed like a stable 30 fps running around in Skingrad. Other people have reported sub-20 FPS when in the open world on the Deck, so it’s probably not the best choice unless they patch it
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 4 weeks ago:
Oblivion was the first game I ever put 100+ hours into, but every time I’ve tried to get back into it over the years, it was just too clunky and awkward. Bethesda games always age poorly.
But this remaster is fucking incredible and I very irresponsibly wasted an entire day yesterday playing it. They fixed and polished it so it feels like a modern game again. The only issue I had was poor performance in a lot of areas, like frequent drops down to 40 fps on my powerful PC. I’m hoping a patch will fix that soon.
Admittedly, my opinion is heavily clouded by nostalgia, so temper your expectations in case my comment actually convinces you to buy it. It’s a great game, but it’s smaller and somewhat clunkier than Skyrim.

I learned this fact when I decided to check my spam emails once and found one claiming they had a video of me performing onanism and would send it to my friends and family if I didn’t pay up.
Gave me the idea to explore languages on Google Translate until I found the one that produces the word “onanism” when translating to English. Then I could reply to the scammer in their native tongue for a reverse blackmail.

I think the anime people will instantly know they’re AI and think you’re just a coomer obsessed with anime titties in particular.

- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 1 month ago:
“perfect emulation”
With a setup like this, you can keep moving the goal post until you win all your little internet arguments. Personally, I’m not a fanboy for neither Nintendo nor Valve, so I really don’t care to get into this kind of atgument.
My point is that there’s no reason to think the Switch 2 can’t be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.
I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions)
The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 1 month ago:
The steam deck just barely emulates the switch
Wdym? Last I tried it, Switch emulation on the Deck was nearly perfect. I played the entirety of Metroid Dread on it with zero issues, and a couple of other games (Breath of the Wild, Smash, and Odyssey)
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 1 month ago:
Why not? Just because the Switch 2 can do 4k60 doesn’t mean it’s super powerful. Thd Switch 1 was obsolete when it launched, so a hardware upgrade over that could be literally anything. For reference, even the Raspberry Pi can do 4k60 nowadays.
Afaik, Switch 2 specs haven’t been revealed (have they?) so we don’t know yet what to expect, but considering it’s a handheld it will likely have similar power constraints to the Deck, possibly even more to achieve longer battery life. (But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade). As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.
The trailer mentions that the Switch 2 can do 4k60 when docked only on some games. Just knowing Nintendo’s cheap asses, I doubt you’ll get that from any significant 3D title. It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles. I doubt you’ll see that in the new Bloodborne, possibly not even 120 while in handheld either.

Huskies are great. Mine loses her shit if I even look at the leash, but she will not run out the door by herself. At worst, she’ll take a few steps out with her ears down (which is the sign that she knows she’s being bad), but then run back in as soon as I call her.
I didn’t train her at all, she’s just an unnaturally good girl for some reason.
