- Comment on How Israel and the U.S. KILLED Journalism Once and For All 1 day ago:
There’s lot of countries worse off, and a lot of countries better off…
And America has had a less free press before than we do now.
Like, shits bad now, but anyone that acts like it’s unprecedented, irrecoverable, or would effect anything world wide isn’t worth listening to
They’re at least staying up front they don’t know what they’re talking about, so that’s nice at least
- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 3 days ago:
Because “top 20” are live service games that have been going on for years…
The top, however, remains deeply entrenched. The Top 5 PC games have been unchanged since 2023. In 2025, only Marvel Rivals and Wuthering Waves were among the rare new entrants to break into the Top 20.
If someone buys a hyped up single player game from on of the biggest studios of all time…
Itll most likely still be “outside the top 20” even tho it’s AAA
- Comment on 'Abhorrent' step-incest porn to be banned with up to five years in prison 4 days ago:
But this wouldn’t actually outlaw that…
They’d throw some kind of line/establishment that they’re over 18 in that takes 10 seconds and it’s legal again. Or even just a “all characters are based on someone 18+” screen.
That’s why it doesn’t make sense anyone is making it a big deal, it does absolutely nothing.
It’s a distraction from real shit.
- Comment on How do I ACTUALLY get hired by the United States Postal Services (USPS)? 4 days ago:
Why would you go in there?
Are these people you know who legitimately think you’d be a good fit?
I had assumed you knew them and they would help you. But from this comment it seems you may not actually know them.
They’re 100% not going to take you into any sort of back office and sit down to help you while on the clock regardless.
But if you actually know them and they’re actually saying you’d be good at it and should apply, then asking if they can take a look at your resume and give you some advice is a pretty normal ask for friends.
If you don’t know them, then Google what kind of resume the Post Office wants yourself.
- Comment on 'Abhorrent' step-incest porn to be banned with up to five years in prison 4 days ago:
The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.
I feel like everytime this is brought up, headlines ignore the whole “pretending to be under 18” part…
How that’s interpreted determines everything else.
It’s also super weird they don’t ban everything where the person pretends to be a child tho…
- Comment on How do I ACTUALLY get hired by the United States Postal Services (USPS)? 4 days ago:
Talk to the people who said you’d be a good fit.
They might not make hiring decisions, but they might help you change your resume to what the people in DC are looking for.
- Comment on Is putting black beans in my chili a bad idea? 5 days ago:
Canned food has sell/us-by dates, because everything needs one…
Acidic food can get weird tasting, but you’re better off ignoring the date and caring about structure integrity of the can.
It’s not about if it ruptured, if it was canned correctly or not. If there’s any flex whatsoever in the can, don’t risk. Even if it’s on the grocery store shelf and a year from expiration.
So you can use whatever beans you want, but don’t feel like you “have” to use the can, they’ll last.
- Comment on Why the world doesn't have a backup plan for the oil crisis? 5 days ago:
Yep.
If capitalism is calling the shots, then no one plans more than a fiscal quarter ahead of time.
You can’t compete against someone that just ignores all risks, because if nothing goes wrong they put you out of business.
And by the time something goes wrong, they have enough wealth and connections to get bailed out by governments.
Because of that, every society that places capitalism above all else, will eventually implode. One day there just won’t be anything to bail them out with.
It make sense for the oligarchs to keep making bets they can’t lose, but it means everyone else is forced to take bets we cant win.
- Comment on It seems that Valve is working on a "SteamGPT" feature that will apparently deal with Steam support issues and is somehow connected to Trust Score and CS2 anti-cheat 6 days ago:
At the same time, people drastically overestimate how big of a deal it would be…
Someone could always just stop buying games on there.
And if it did “go away” and people lost their games, they think how much they’ve spent on games over decades, and not how much it would cost to replace what they still play.
Out of all the real life horrible shit going on, very few people have the longevity of Valve as a priority.
It’s not 100% safe but at this point it’s more likely to be here in 20 years than the country it’s based in.
But besides all that, I don’t think you know what the word “monopoly” means if you think steam is one.
- Comment on did the Artemis crew really spend 10 days pooping in their diapers? 6 days ago:
OP keeps spamming posts implying it was faked but not actually saying they think it’s fake…
Then deleting the post after people say it clearly wasn’t fake.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6's Japan map is the series' best yet 1 week ago:
Meh.
It’s a twice a decade racing game…
There doesn’t need to be huge changes, people like the game for what it is, it just needs occasional updates.
If this game out a year after Forza 5, then criticism for lack of changes is valid.
- Comment on What actually is the 10-point proposal from Iran which Trump said is "workable basis on which to negotiate"? 1 week ago:
Just .ml things…
- Comment on What actually is the 10-point proposal from Iran which Trump said is "workable basis on which to negotiate"? 1 week ago:
You asked what it was…
Then listed the 10 points…
You asked a question and answered it yourself?
- Comment on The case for keeping museums free – even if you never visit 1 week ago:
I mean, you pillage the globe stealing everyones most prized and culturally significant possessions for a century…
The absolute least you can do is let them look at it for free when they travel to England
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
When I called him out on the symptoms, I was bombarded like this. Very suspicious
I mean…
You went to .ml…
What did you expect? That’s their sandbox and they’re going to act like children. Block the instance in your settings, and then if you run into one doing dumb shit like this, it’s in a place that will moderate it and take action.
No one from .world can do something about how a .ml account acts on .ml
- Comment on The Judge in the #Afroman case actually scolded the jurors for their verdict/ 1 week ago:
Oh ok…
It was that thing where someone just rephrases what they reply to without adding something.
Thanks for verifying! I just like being sure.
- Comment on The Judge in the #Afroman case actually scolded the jurors for their verdict/ 1 week ago:
…
So…
In your head, if someone is t surprised by something, it means they support it?
I just don’t understand how you got confused enough to type that in reply to my comment
- Comment on The Judge in the #Afroman case actually scolded the jurors for their verdict/ 1 week ago:
Weird “legal experts” are shocked about this…
Judges hate juries, because judges think they should have that power.
They see juries as ignorant yokels that need steered down a path to justice, and “justice” is the judges opinion. So if they don’t get the result they want in a jury trial…
They bae the jury for being dumb idiots, and want to know what the need to do to get the next batch of dumb idiots to vote for “justice” next time.
This shit ain’t new, and any expert surprised this is how judges view jury cases is woefully naive.
Even a judge just openly saying it, that’s not new.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I don’t know about you, but what would be best for us is if people stopped making multiple accounts a day to post the same posts
It’s just fucking weird there’s a constant stream of new accounts that claim to be underage girls and how they need money and don’t know what to do with it.
Even if it wasn’t obvious it was the same person making them all.
Just stick with one account and everyone not dumb enough to fall for it can block you, and you and gullible idiots can do your roleplay.
- Comment on FEMA official says he teleported to waffle house: "not new ideas for people of faith" 1 week ago:
If you listen to hist story, he was driving and talking to his family who seemed to be worried about him in the moment for undisclosed reasons during the phone call…
And the next thing he remembered was calling his family from a Waffle House and they were even more scared…
99.99% he was wasted driving somewhere, blacked out and stopped answering his phone, family assumed he wrecked or got pulled over, but then found out he drove to a waffle house 50 miles away, which might have just been the area he was drinking in.
But with people like this, you can’t tell them they’re wrong because they’ll never admit.
So the family just let him say it, he started really believing that’s what happened, and now is expecting everyone else to just accept it, but he’s not our drunk dad, we have no pressure to agree to make the conflict go away.
- Comment on Why is us rail travel so expensive? 2 weeks ago:
Rail was owned by the wealthiest and they made their money shipping freight.
Lobbyists got the US government to “sell” them the actual railways, but they had to maintain it.
So if/when there’s a conflict on the rail, freight gets to go first. They’re giant heavy trains moving insanely slowly, so even tho passenger could get by faster, they sit for hours waiting.
Back to private companies maintaining the rails, they did cost/benefit analysis and decided since they pay insurance anyways, it’s not smart to fix anything till insurance rates go up.
The problem is when a wreck happens there’s public outcry, so the government uses taxpayer funds to fix it quickly.
They wait till an accident happens, insurances pays for just the cargo, and that’s insured by the supper so the train insurance never goes up. Taxpayers pay to clean up the wreck and put in new tracks.
With the current system, the wrecks will keep happening more and more frequently because stuff only gets fixed after it fails, and only that one spot.
- Comment on What are some good communities to follow for someone who is just getting into lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Weird…
But make a post to the support community mentioning it’s glitched and asking for it.
They’ll most likely fix it and give it to you because whoever the current mod is didn’t even notice.
- Comment on What are some good communities to follow for someone who is just getting into lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
there are 3-4 Animal Crossing communities, but none are active. One is posted to by a bot. There is basically no Animal Crossing community on Lemmy, even though spaces exist. Same for my favourite band, favourite singer, favourite film — all of which had active communities on Reddit.
Admins need to do routine pruning…
A shit ton of people jumped over from reddit and instantly created a bunch of communities just so they’d be “top mod” but there was either no demand or no supply. So accounts that mod 20-30 communities went inactive years ago at this point.
I picked up a /fantheories community no one had ever really posted to, just because I didn’t want to post somewhere that didn’t have an active mod.
But I guess any type of community on reddit that isn’t on lemmy is gonna get created anyways.
But if you see dead communities about something you’re interested in, admins are usually pretty thankful if someone offers to take it.

You talking wet bulb or dry bulb bub?
- Comment on Ozempic [Has Gone] Generic for Billions of People 2 weeks ago:
People really will do anything besides eat fiber…
Even after the we know about all the downsides of this stuff
The reason the floodgates are opening like this, is one last cashgrab. It’s not the miracle drug people thought
- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 2 weeks ago:
Well…
That is the next game after “Borderlands”…
- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 2 weeks ago:
You…
You think they care?
They want people streaming games to phones/TVs and paying by the hour.
Not subsidizing console sales anymore will make cloud gaming seem more attractive, and that’s where the most money is at
- Comment on Hackney pub’s child‑free rule sparks debate online 2 weeks ago:
Lol
The pub has also decided to ban dogs after 18:00 on Fridays and Saturdays - a move staff say has prompted more pushback than the child‑free policy.
- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 2 weeks ago:
I used to love Borderlands…
Then they locked characters behind expensive DLC. So I started waiting for the “everything” editions, but then it made sense to just wait for big sales…
And eventually not caring about the franchise.
Its like Crusader Kings or Sims. It’s better than annual releases that don’t really change, but the DLC structure turns people away from the entire game. Even if you wait for a sale, all the “new” DLC stays expensive.
So people put off buying anything till they just don’t care.
