You clearly didn’t use the small loan from your father very effectively. For shame.

- Comment on High quality sticker though 1 week ago:
I made the mistake of buying a Sonic the Hedgehog sticker pack off Amazon for my kids. Honestly it could have been worse, given how hard Sonic “fan art” goes.
Oh wow, I had literally the same experience, Sonic stickers too. Thankfully I had a quick look through before I threw them in with the Mario and Pixar stickers, and noticed Amy had some “interesting poses” … And it kind of got worse from there.
It was my first head-shaking “wtf is wrong with people” moment as a father so I guess there’s that.

- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 4 weeks ago:
It’s often not the speaker doing the editing, there are thousands of channels built around creating and releasing these cast-a-wide-net shorts to subtly drive you towards their goal of obsessively watching right wing vtubers saying things that compel you to be a selfish narcissist.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, for real. YouTube is essentially placing infinite bets that it can drive you into the rabbit hole. Watched a short of Dillahunty give Peterson a verbal wedgy? You must like big words, so here’s more Peterson! Watched a short of Joey Swoll telling people to be polite, because it rolled on automatically? Here’s an Andrew Tate wannabe with shrivelled nuts to subtly criticise you about your dad bod.
Obsession and radicalisation are one and the same to the algorithm, and both turn a targeted individual into a money printer. And fuck the consequences right? Because Google got theirs.

I came to PS through YouTube shorts and his streams were cut to ribbons and repatched into something resembling a zeitgeist-appealing view.
Then I watched a couple of his long form videos and was like … eh. If anything it taught me more about the danger of using shorts as an onboard to any big vtuber. Much like movie trailers and their movies, they tend to overpromise and underdeliver.
This became undeniably apparent when YouTube started shoving Jordan Petersen into my feed. Much like the thousand monkeys at their typewriters, you can take the words of anyone who talks at length almost daily on a subject and edit them into something that sounds reasonable and appealing.
I already knew that JP was a right wing rhetoric Markov chain posing as an expert/pundit before YT started promoting him, but it really did cement the point.
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 4 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, sorry not trying to be snarky - you are completely right so it is useful information.
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 4 weeks ago:
I have made a note, thank you!
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 4 weeks ago:
Yes I know, that’s why I use both for different purposes
I mean whether TailScale is more similar to Mullvad in business model and customer centrism, or whether the early signs of enshittification are already there (I haven’t seen any red flags to date)
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 4 weeks ago:
Mullvad is one of those services that just works and I never worry about whether my server’s connection has fallen over. It’s fairly priced, transparent, and doesn’t abuse my privacy or trust. They never try to lure me into buying more/bigger/better like pretty much every company does now. Much like my water supply, I literally forget that the underlying solution exists because it so reliably does it’s job.
Feeling the same about Tailscale recently, but this comment is bait to find out if I’m wrong! Not paying yet but considering it.

- Comment on Studio Camelia shuts down a year after raising €300,000 on Kickstarter to fund JRPG (Alzara Radiant Echoes) 1 month ago:
The point of that is to allow risky projects the opportunity to succeed in comfortable financial circumstances.
Cases like this abuse the system to scam people while using the ToS to skirt legal implications. So it is fraud, just dressed up as a gambling.
That said, the outcome is the same: don’t waste your money on Kickstarter unless you’d be willing to use the same money at a blackjack table

- Comment on Press F to pay respects 1 month ago:
Absolutely, but these problems are common to all the instances. Maybe I interpreted it wrong, it sounded like they were directly engaging the bad actors over management of the platform, and doing that rather than just quietly banning them and moving on.
And to be clear I’m all for open collaboration and taking feedback, but I’ve seen this occur for Lemmy apps where loud and overbearing voices try and dominate the conversation to the benefit of noone, until Devs either stop responding or shut things down.
Regardless, it’s sad to lose an instance and I hope the admins find something rewarding to invest in without having to deal with the internet’s worst members.
