• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US logic for protecting the political and economic elite has no bounds⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of denying the label “terrorist”, we should embrace and normalize it. It was always a rhetorical weapon for the status-quo, and we have the power to take that away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tired of hearing about “The offshore team”⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The people responsible for your anxiety are not offshore, they’re upstairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New superhero⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody knows that Dr. Dang doesn’t have a magical robe, it’s his Mullet that’s the source of his power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.

  for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does capitalist reasoning always sound like a prayer to an angry god?

  We consulted the oracle and it seems that the dragon is tired of corn. So we’ve hedged our portfolio with wheat and virgins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Lemmy is the Worst Social Media Platform I Use⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a pain in the ass to block all the lemmy users one by one. I’m trying to curate an experience where Lemmy is just about my posts and my comments. Like the gold standard of social media: myspace.

  I’ve asked over and over for a “block every account except my own” and people just laugh at me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Player two has entered the lobby⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Workplace violence has always been a thing in the US. As a phenomena, it predates the era of school shootings. It’s so common that I feel comfortable predicting that this man’s motives were a personal grievance, not class warfare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨James Gunn's Superman | Official Teaser Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Superman is perhaps the most boring character in all of fiction. It’s not even a character really, it’s is a brand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Student loans have dulled price-point as a major consideration for choosing a school. So they compete on other non-academic stuff that tends to raise the tuition like sports, amenities, and prestige.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After being honored at The Game Awards for helping laid-off devs, Amir Satvat says he's received 'countless' hateful messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This person appears to deserve recognition and respect. It is also a macabre PR stunt to defect criticism for layoffs during what’s essentially an industry party of self congratulations.

  Two things can be true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring Nightreign Can Only be Played Solo or as a Trio - Insider Gaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Summons were Dark Souls’ easy mode. In Elden Ring summons activate normal mode. Not an improvement.

  Running a single-player melee build shouldn’t be a challenge mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While I’ve seen first hand how the powerful have attempted to manufacture consent around the CEO’s assassination, their efforts are clumsy, uncoordinated, and haphazard. Like most conspiracy theories, this one fills all the gaps in plausibility and evidence with a “they” who are hyper competent with foresight bordering on omniscience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If a genie told me I could erase all land-mines or two-stroke leaf-blowers, I’d choose landmines, but the silence while I considered would be uncomfortably long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people say things like "I didn't do nothing"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Grade school grammar is not a proxy for intellect or education. I’ve never read an author who had half the respect for grammar that Chat GPT does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skoolie from Temu.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IDK about GMC, but the Ford and Chevy work vans I’ve driven have serious bumpers. Nothing like the spongy decorations that cars come with now. We’re talking solid steel and welded to the frame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I may have just missed the news on this, but i guess Assassins creed and presumably other Ubisoft games are getting Steam Achievements now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Games were better before achievements. Admit it, you’ve played a game in way that you actively don’t enjoy or long after you’ve lost interest, just to pop some worthless achievement.

  I understand a few studios take the time to make achievements humorous or worthwhile to the actual game your playing, but that’s just another reminder that most studios don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Congratulations.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive played flight sim games for years and there is nothing quite like the pedantry of online people who fly desks. Why warthunder though? is it just a matter of a huge player base? Why would people with access to good information and a passion for accuracy play an arcade game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Memories of a bygone era⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re all liars because no one has mentioned the smell.

  Use common sense! You think nerds changed their egg out on time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These are not the same person. They fit the description, and where near the scene. Police would want to talk to both regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the typical sentence for Hunter Biden's Tax Evasion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nevermind the Tax stuff. I was soooooo looking forward to his gun charge going to court.

  if you don’t know, he was charged with perjury because when you buy a gun you have to check a box that says you haven’t abused drugs in 90 days or some shit. With this SCOUTS, it would be hard to imagine this provision surviving a challenge. After all, if we accept that buying a gun is a right, then some government agency can’t deny you that with an arbitrary rule.

  The gun nuts would be forced to choose between persecuting Trump’s enemies and gun rights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨conditional probability⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s obtuse to treat the bear metaphor as a math problem. It’s doubly so to correct the work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about people making such big deal out of whether they're "black" or "white"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first half of your comment is an acknowledgement that you don’t understand American culture and the second half is you casting declarative judgement upon it.

  I don’t know which one of your minds to respond to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will the price of Freeze Driers go down? (USA question)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Consumer goods become cheaper through innovation and economies of scale. Freeze drying is a mature technology with limited appeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Percentages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And then there was that bogus article that said Argentina had lowered it’s inflation to 2% and you find out in the article that’s monthly inflation and the yearly figure was like 190%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨seriousposting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the circle is complete:

  FELLAS! IS IT GAY TO BE HAPPY?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a storm hitting us in about 6 hours. We're going to find out who's who.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You couldn’t make this movie today. That’s because the alien would just walk around in a bathrobe, tentacles and ribs sticking out everywhere. When challenged, it would just say:

  “Oh, I guess that anybody who has different opinion about which biomass ought to consume which is a “MONSTER” now? So much for the tolerant left!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SHAME.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time RFK jr. is done, the vegetables will have a warning label for Haber–Bosch nitrogen and MAGA will insist their vegetables be grown on untreated human feces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just saw this in a supermarket and I am now very upset and angry at whoever thought of such a thing and you need to feel my pain.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want a whole adult themed lunchable with vodka in the caprisun, THC in the food, and a cigarette for desert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨deez nuts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about STEM, but Youtube appears to employ more philosophy PHDs than any dozen universities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sniper Elite Resistance dev defends asset reuse - “if they’re there to use, why not use them?”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t wanna see some Nazi’s testicles explode. I wanna see the Nazi’s face while his testicles explode. We are not the same.
