- Comment on Fuck AIPAC 19 hours ago:
AIPAC’s money, at least in this case appears to be impotent.
Did you know that for every dollar AIPAC spends on pro-Israel lobbying, evangelical Zionists spend 2-3 dollars more? Turns out it’s the Christians who are furtively controlling things behind the scenes.
- Comment on take their money and arrest those responsible 1 day ago:
This is a false choice between huge lifestyle changes for everyday people and regulating the polluters. Regulating the polluters is going to cause huge lifestyle changes for everyday people.
The idea that any of us get to go on as usual is the main roadblock to meaningful climate action.
- Comment on Do you consider GTA VI overpriced? 2 days ago:
I will not pay more than $30 for a game. That means I wait for AAA games, usually about 5 years. By then they’ll be optimized, patched, and all the DLC will be included.

We are all ignorant, stupid.

- Comment on scrutinized but efficient method 5 days ago:
I’m convinced that grammar/ spelling people think God is an English teacher and his cock is a huge red pen. Grading other peoples work makes them feel power and proximity to the divine.

If a person sleeps with their boss to get ahead, that doesn’t make the person a slut, it makes the boss a sex offender.
Even the “sexy woman manipulates powerful man” narrative is about power dynamics and manipulation. Some men fear this for the same reason buglers always lock their doors.

Do you know the difference between an ironic bigot and an actual one? Me neither.
If your confused, look up irony poison. Ironic bigotry isn’t funny. If not by virtue of bad taste, then by virtue of being played to fucking death.

Patches are not the worst thing in the world. There was a Robocop game, I think for the NES. The developers didn’t have time to complete the 5th level, so they put a time limit on the 4th level that was impossible.
Imagine if Cyberpunk or No mans sky were final at launch.

Yea, it’s pretty lonely being an actual progressive on lemmy sometimes.

I wonder how many people use the same password for email, bank, and Pringles.com. As much as I hate two factor auth, I gotta remember how dismal the security of passwords is in the wild.

I’ve never played the two original expansions. I pirated them, but never played. I purchased the “complete” edition from GOG, but still haven’t gotten around to it. What is wrong with me?

- Comment on Which movie have you seen where an actor started as an extra prior to becoming famous? 1 week ago:
John Cusack in ‘16 candles’: he was one of the nerd friends who takes pictures of the unconscious cheerleader. And Brad Pitt in ‘True romance’ he was the roommate who needed cleaning supplies.
- Comment on America and it's racism and Israel? 2 weeks ago:
The other reason is the christian belief that the Rapture (and return of christ) cannot occur until the Jewish people return to isreal. It’s called christian zionism. Even as a child in the 90s in a roman catholic church we hear about how the jewish people were favored by god and we must support israel. I think the context of that was fundraising for settlement orgs.
Just wanted to expand on this. According to Revelation, in the end times 125,000 Jews will convert to Christianity and the rest will be “destroyed”. No more Jews. So Jesus is the answer… to the Jewish question.
Anyway, the Zionist/ Christian nationalist alliance is better explained by antisemitism than by Christian love, friendship, or concern.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
The difference isn’t culture it’s gun laws and regulations. Gun control works.
- Comment on Is it reasonable to tell a person you once loved about the fact years later? 2 weeks ago:
You can’t do love by yourself. What you experienced may seem profound, but it can’t be anything but myopic because it’s all in your imagination. This is like falling in love with a fictional character or a celebrity.
It’s the difference between sex and masturbation.
- Comment on How accurate can your position be calculated from a photo of the sun you post online? 2 weeks ago:
There was once a Japanese celebrity who’s stalker was able to find out her location by a street sign that was reflected in her eye. You don’t need an astrolabe to be a creep.
- Comment on What is the difference between terrorist attack vs military strike if both kill civilians? 2 weeks ago:
Terrorist is a social distinction not a rational one; It’s a slur. Trying to launder it with definitions and fixed meaning misses the point.
Terrorist isn’t even synonymous with violence because depending on where you are, a terrorist is a race, ethnicity, politics, or religion.
- Comment on "I'm in favor of a law that requires all telemarketers to wear shock collars that can be activated by pressing the pound (#) key." 2 weeks ago:
I’m very suspicious of anyone who thinks punishment is the solution to anything. Double that when the person being subjected to suffering is low on the social order.

4K textures are a scam. With upscaling, even the people who run games in 4K don’t use the 4K textures.
- Comment on Is there any other meats that are a good comparison for the taste of venison? 3 weeks ago:
It’s most similar to beef. I would recommend adding it to chili, stew, or curry. In dishes that are cooked forever and heavily seasoned, you may not be able to tell much difference.
I’ve never tried it grilled like a steak, I would suspect that’d be quite different to beef.

Yes. IQ tests can be studied and your score can be increased like any other test. This is because IQ doesn’t measure intelligence, it measures IQ score.
If your asking about intelligence, then also yes. You can study and become smarter and more knowledgeable. Or you can hit your head or read the Daily Wire and become less intelligent.
- Comment on Why Aren't there More Fem-Focused Werewolf Stories? 3 weeks ago:
There is a whole genre of werewolf porn literature and the audience is primarily female. Lindsey Ellis did a couple of videos about this a few years ago.
