- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 1 day ago:
Trump is the worst dictator ever, seeing as he literally got voted out last time and could do nothing about it.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 2 days ago:
“You don’t make the poor richer by making the rich poorer”.
- Comment on Is there any, any takeaways at all from the next 4 years that's about to happen? 2 weeks ago:
Demonizing people who disagree with you makes them dig in their heels and elect the dangerous candidate and party, in spite of their best interests. Demonizing those people feels satisfying and necessary in the moment, but it ultimately backfires.
The so-called enlightened people can’t be counted on to vote. (I say this as one of those so-called enlightened people, albeit not in your country and therefore unable to shift the balance with you.)
Until you folks figure these two things out, this is your new reality.
This is absolutely right. There’s been an arrogance and complacency from moderate parties in the West over the last 20 years, assuming that the electorate will just automatically vote for them regardless. Now they’ve got to try and get these people back from the extremes, which is going to be harder to do than if they hadn’t taken them for granted before.
- Comment on Is this what every election is like? 2 weeks ago:
It’s part of a trend of a significant portion of the electorate feeling ignored. It’s a trend that’s happening in large parts of the West, we’re seeing it in Europe too in places like France and Germany.
Now you can argue about whether these people have a genuine grievance or not. But if we don’t try and address the underlying causes of these people abandoning moderate parties, we’re going to see more and more extreme candidates and parties being successful. And I don’t think that’s something any of us want.
- Comment on Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? 2 weeks ago:
The American Constitution will stop him doing a lot of things people are scared of.
- Comment on What is Trump going to do to social security since he is now going to be president? Just wondering because my mom gets SS and she does not want me to support here? 2 weeks ago:
People on Lemmy will tell you it’s going to disappear because orange man wants to kill everyone, or something.
What is likely to happen is nothing.
- Comment on What can I do to help? 2 weeks ago:
Thank you for being patronising, I understand it perfectly well.
I’m trying to bring a semblance of reality to the mass hysteria.
- Comment on What can I do to help? 2 weeks ago:
This doesn’t really make sense.
He has won because more people voted for him in a democratic election. That’s literally democracy in action.
You might not like the result (it’s frankly bizarre from an outsider’s POV), but that doesn’t mean “democracy is dead”.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 2 weeks ago:
Or just talk about her policies: …yougov.com/…/50802-harris-vs-trump-on-the-issues…
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 2 weeks ago:
It’s actually incredible how they tried to copy Hilary Clinton’s campaign tactics of endorsements and warnings about Trump.
That didn’t work last time. Why would it work now?
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 2 weeks ago:
And Harris has done worse than Biden in every county in America.
Not every state. Every county.
- Comment on Houses in my area increases 82% in just 4 years 2 weeks ago:
You just need to stop watching Netflix and buying avocado toast.
At least that’s what old people say anyway.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 3 weeks ago:
How would he win it through fraud? If he wins, he’ll win legitimately.
Claiming that it’s fraud if he wins is exactly what Trump did in 2020.
- Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller 3 weeks ago:
The exceptions being the Astro Bot games, because the sounds tie in to the haptic feedback.
- Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller 3 weeks ago:
You can disable it permanently: thegamer.com/disable-mute-ps5-dualsense-microphon…
- Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller 3 weeks ago:
Well, in the case of the Dualsense on PS5, they’ve made changes to improve things like haptic feedback, controller volume output from the speaker, better noise cancellation on the mic (though I doubt anyone uses that) and if you have the latest PS5 models (pro or non-pro), you now have adaptive charging.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Did you know that wanting to browse cat pics is just a distraction from the oppression of late stage capitalism by the bourgeoisie?
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Or that they just want to get away from politics for five minutes.
- Comment on An Update from PlayStation Studios (Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios are closing) 3 weeks ago:
I guess Concord isn’t coming back as free-to-play then.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
No one, because I live in the UK.
But I would vote Harris with zero enthusiasm.
- Comment on Being an already decided voter in a swing state is swell 3 weeks ago:
I’m so glad we don’t get campaign spam like this in the UK.
- Comment on BeReal 4 weeks ago:
Is this that “capture what you’re doing” app?
I don’t believe people would use that for nefarious means. No way!

Another falsehood being repeated is that it was in development for 8 years. It wasn’t. 8 years ago it was an idea.
The actual development is around 4 years.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Given that sales were only 25,000, statistically it’s probably none of them.
I like how I got three downvotes just for saying I liked a game. 😂
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The $400 million line shows how far some random guy’s unverified opinion can go.
It absolutely didn’t cost more than GTA 5.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I hope so. I’m one of the few who enjoyed it.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games 1 month ago:
And was patched for 60fps on the PS5. Just like The Last of Us 2.
- Comment on Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC 1 month ago:
8 years ago, it was just an idea. It was only in development for 4 years.
- Comment on Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC 1 month ago:
It didn’t cost 400 million. There’s no way a game like this can cost more than something like The Last of Us 2.
