Objection, Your Honour! This is speculation.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
See, I’m torn. On one hand, I feel like this ‘us vs them’ mentality contributes to the sort of tribalism that ultimately results in movements like MAGA popping up. If these people can only operate in MAGA-friendly spaces, they’ll rarely speak to anyone who disagrees with them, and will have no reason to reflect on their worldview.
Then I read the news. If current events aren’t enough to convince them that they’re misguided, I’m not sure that anything will.
I’m not sure I know what the answer is, but it’s been an interesting discussion.

That’s fair, I can definitely understand that position and agree with you on the NK apologists.
From my point of view, I think it’s more productive to interact with people I disagree with, in the (possibly naive) pursuit of changing their minds. If people are kicked out for their views, I’d imagine many of them will just double down and act like a martyr. I’m not saying we shouldn’t call these people out and downvote them, that’s why that function exists right? But maybe once in a while, something that we argue will resonate with them.
Of course there are limits to that approach, and this all hinges on the other person arguing in good faith. Based on the OP’s post history, I’ll admit that I may be barking up the wrong tree in this case.

In what way did they troll me? Did somebody call them a fag or not? If so, I don’t care what their justification was, that person is an asshole.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Man, I don’t like MAGA either. I think they represent pretty much everything that’s wrong with society today…
But for a community that talks so often about disliking echo chambers, it really seems like most Lemmy users want an echo chamber.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
As others have pointed out, anyone who has this strong of a reaction to something so inconsequential must be a deeply unhappy person. It sucks to suck.
Also, anyone who calls someone a ‘fag’ is a complete fucking moron. I doubt things will improve for them with so few brain cells to work with.

- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 6 months ago:
Crusader Kings 3 is my favourite game like this. I wouldn’t say the point is to go to war, but it’s a pretty big part of the experience. Has a lot of DLC but you can definitely have a ton of fun with the base game if you don’t want to commit to that.

I follow gaming news pretty closely and I’ve never even heard of this one. Wouldn’t be surprised if the low engagement, at least in part, comes down to poor marketing.

If my retail experience is any indication, acknowledging customers in this situation is a bad idea. Before you know it, the conversation turns to “I just need one thing!” Or “I promise I’ll be really quick!” and you have to become the asshole to tell them no… Even though the store hours are clearly listed on the front door.
Or if you agree even once, the conversation could easily become “but you did it for me/my friend last time!”
I’ve literally had people sneak into the store using an exit, then act all indignant because I tell them to leave. You give some of these fuckers an inch, they’ll take a mile.

Here’s a tip I’ve found useful: if I show up simewhere after closing time and find that the door is locked, it’s because the store is closed.
- Comment on Until Dawn, rebuilt and enhanced for PS5 and PC, launches October 4 1 year ago:
Oh don’t get me wrong, I understand why Sony wants to enhance it. I just don’t understand who it’s for, and who will buy it. I guess it just takes less money and effort than developing new games or IP.
- Comment on Until Dawn, rebuilt and enhanced for PS5 and PC, launches October 4 1 year ago:
This game still looks and plays fine, in my opinion. Can’t really see the need for an enhanced version.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification. Have to admit, that does sound better.

I really hope this doesnt take off. I tried out Star Trek: Infinite and the tutorial uses an AI voice. Completely took me out of it.

- Comment on Holding a life without any talents. 2 years ago:
I bet you’re more talented than you give yourself credit for. Its hard to recognize your own good qualities, especially if you’re the type that compares yourself with others.
Remember, nobody is good at everything. Everybody is good at something. What’s your thing?
