- Comment on I know 2026 will suck already, so I am rooting for 2027 to be rad as fuck! 1 week ago:
There are a ton of different year calendars. The BCE/AD calendar is very much a Western/Western-derived thing, stemming from a Catholic Christian estimation. It’s convenient, because it got widespread, but it’s only one system of many.
Many ancient systems judged the date by the regnal year of the ruler, ie “Third year of the rule of Agum the Third”. It’s much less convenient for figuring out when something happened than systems that continuously count from a single starting year, but exact chronologies were less important for most people.

We need a maximum wage, for maximum effort
- Comment on Lemmy.world appears to have briefly logged me in as a completely different user (twice)? 1 week ago:
I’ve been seeing this for as long as I’ve been using Lemmy, I assumed it was just some known bug in the code.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 2 weeks ago:
Ok, so they do that to everybody, and now the strike can’t end. This helps them how?
-
They won’t have to do it to everyone. Just enough people to make examples and frighten people into going back to work.
-
If they do have to do it to entire workforce-sized populations, we get a cozy GULAG style labor system.
“They can’t arrest all of us” only works if there’s means of resistance other than passive. In liberal democracies, that’s typically protests, elections, and legal avenues; in less charming regimes, it comes down to internal dissent in the security apparatus or outright force from the oppressed. If you lack those means of negotiation, or the credible threat thereof, then they literally can arrest all of you, and will, given half a chance.

So what, they gonna come to my house and make me go to work?
Arrest you and toss you in a cell, more likely.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 2 weeks ago:
Electoral politics doesn’t get the job done, but failing to attend to electoral politics can sure as shit make the job harder.
The question of “Who are we negotiating with” is all-important in every scenario except “Complete and total unconditional victory”.

They’re the same fucking word from different time periods on the treadmill of what is politically correct.
Either both are slurs that shouldn’t be used or both are acceptable.
That’s not how language works, and unless you go around calling Black folk ‘colored’, you understand that in other contexts. What words are acceptable and what connotations they have change with time and usage.

non-maga right wing
How many of those are left? Two, three?
I remember before 2016, I had respect for some right-wing folk online who, while far from agreement with me, I regarded as simply legitimately misguided (in a “Free markets because gubmint bad”) kind of way.
It was… eye-opening to see how many of them went mask-off in the Trump years, and how fast and fiercely they did it.

- Comment on Why would Dumbledolf do this 1 month ago:
People do weird things to get past auto-censors. Sometimes it feels more like people developing new superstitions for a digital age.

5 years here, a lower-end purchase to begin with. Still works fine. Only a few games I need to lower to True Potato settings to run.

“all of Europe could fit inside the 48 continental states alone” - are you sure about that, fam?
Not far off.
- Comment on Anon's strict mom 1 month ago:
Happened to me twice within the last month. Once because I noted to an adult man that a full-up buss at 14:00 isn’t a karaoke and he shouldn’t be listenint to his phone on full while singing drinking songs with all the kids and parents. He started to yell he’ll kill me on the street and whatnot. I left the best as my stop came up. Went to buy a bevvie He came after me from the bus and stalked me lol.
I see the feral reputation of the Finns is not wholly unearned
I would rather live with wild wolves, no shit.
Kind of sounds like you already do XD

Yeah, I have a European acquaintance who I’ve heard talk at length about how America is warm and friendly relative to Europe, and it’s a notion I’ve heard backed up by online accounts as well.

Senua is great. The combat felt fine to me, though it definitely wasn’t the game’s focus.

- Comment on GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam” 1 month ago:
Any other sources for this? Not for the job cutting, but for GoG’s business model going downhill? Hasn’t this happened every few years since the start of GoG?
