• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did we give up on insulation?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really true. UK definitely has a history of under-insulation compared to other European countries with similar climates (like Denmark for example).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon enjoys seasonal content⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Devs are like that because publishers says they should do it. And publishers are like that because people keep buying and paying for all that shit. So in the end they are like that because of OP who contributes to the FOMO and wants to throw money at them for cosmetics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon joins his family for Christmas dinner⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fiction. I still don’t understand how so many of you take all these posts as descriptions of something that actually occurred.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plans his sister's birthday⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My attraction to women has been destroyed

  Incel makes up story to rationalise their bigotry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i got banned from games@hexbear for..... liking a game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t enable them by participating on their instance. Block them and move on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the flat earthers who demonstrated that the earth is round in the netfilx documentary ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is not a lot to laugh about with flat earthers. The theory stems from Christian fundamentalism, and it is tightly connected to the christofascist movements trying to coup the USA at the moment.

  And no, they are not going to give up their beliefs, because they didn’t come by them through rational thought, so rational thought isn’t going to disprove it for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t watched the video, but I suspect it aligns somewhat with my own experience. Online fps used to be my goto genre, but the competitiveness, toxicity and the widespread cheating made me realise that it stressed me out more than it entertained me. So I cut them off a couple of years ago in favour of single player games, often moddable single player games with good replayability like Kenshi or Stellaris (although I also like more linear games which just provides some good no frills entertainment).

  It really has made a huge difference in how gaming functions for me. Much more relaxing and stress relieving, not to mention that I have more control over the amount I play, since I can always just save the game and turn it off without feeling I am missing out on something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It may not make sense because English isn’t a language designed to make sense; it isn’t even designed.

  To be fair, no living language is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PEACHES COME FROM A CAN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And the album was released in 1995, so lots of gen x would be in their late teens early twenties when it was released, prime audience for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do the people in Reniassance festivals pccurring in Brotain also speak with faked British accents, or do they ise faked French/Iralian accents?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You should never trust the word on the street, it is prone to lying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you. They got these bots posting results of games or whatever to each and every sports team community. But it is not one bot doing that, no that would be too easy because you could just block that, each and every sports team community got its own specifically named bot posting the exact same things.

  Really messes a lot with the all/new feed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it was nice while it lasted?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a hope, but not one connected to any actual reality I fear.

  There wasn’t any special clause about “more action movies” in the Miramax scenario, and also the movie market was vastly different in the 1990s compared to now. In the 1990s there was a lot more diversification of blockbuster genres, allowing for the particular type of blockbusters they managed to produce then, but that market is basically all gone now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Share with those less fortunate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Any explanation for non-Americans on what is going on and why this is funny?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[I just watched] Sound of Freedom (2023) with Jim Caviezel. 1st time i've watched Jim as a lead actor. This is a powerful and sad movie. Really suits Jim's style.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That is quite a benevolent way of saying “garbage qanon nonsense”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An £8 sandwich in Starbucks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks more like a type of ciabatta.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you define “wokeness”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are metric measurements like decameters and hectometers ever used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Deciliters are not infrequently used in recipes here as well. I’ve never seen decameters or hectometers used by anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tom Scott - This library has every book ever published⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t even have every book published in the UK, because there are a lot of books, especially at the beginning of the printing press period, which does not exist in any known copies anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He is a right wing extremism gateway. Also an antivaxxer, but I repeat myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is RSS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But how do you subscribe to it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who knew 1989 was an uneventful year in China⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am quite envious of you .worlders in that regard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Appearing in Georgia, one day only.....DON TRUMP.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He was a paranoiac authoritarian who had no qualms about doing all kinds of illegal shit to stay in power and he got away with it without facing any legal repercussions for those crimes.

  This is rightfully his legacy, especially for the GOP who learned a lot from him and he plays a huge part in why the GOP is the way they are today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨britbong brexit life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So if Brexit even simply stoked his interest in foreign expansion, it counts.

  That is not what he said. Through lack of one foreign market (EU) he was forced to seek other foreign markets. For all we know without brexit the company would be doing even better solely by operating in the EU, and that all the while nothing would have prevented him from operating in those other foreign markets besides the EU.

  It is a coping quote, nothing else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming to you soon...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also Europe here, using ublock and firefox, and I don’t get that popup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covid booster jabs to be approved for sale to UK public⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not an appropriate saying in this context at all, unless you are an antivaxxer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covid booster jabs to be approved for sale to UK public⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are flu shots not given for free to the elderly in the UK? Do they have to actually buy them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any other instances like lemmy world, which have blocked deranged instances like hexbear?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  lemmy.ca

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's Jews for Jesus, are there Christians against Christ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of Christian denominations would disagree with you on this. It is also a bit absurd to make absolute claims about what Christianity is and is not because it varies greatly from denomination to denomination (none of which has a monopoly on their interpretation of the bible).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we not eat pig or cow?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This phenomenon is far from exceptional to English though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake news community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is not gone unfortunately.
