- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 4 hours ago:
And a Mac client.

A lot of modern problems can actually be blamed on Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays.
an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as “the father of public relations”. While credited with advancing the profession of public relations, his techniques have been criticized for manipulating public opinion, often in ways that undermined individual autonomy and democratic values.

Farmers are always looking to make their job easier and they have a few months during the winter to build stuff.

Go back to watching Seinfeld.

If you use some masculine image for your pfp on a forum, there’s a good chance you’ll blame women something or spout some other anti-woke shit eventually.

Yolo.
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 4 weeks ago:
The only times laws effect rich people are when they screw over other rich people. Elizabeth Holmes didn’t get in trouble for selling incorrect blood tests to patients. She got in trouble for defrauding other rich people.

CO2 ppm just keep rising, little by little. Covid response showed we could do a lot more, but we just don’t want to.

Mistakes were made.
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 5 weeks ago:
The person I’m thinking of just eats like a child. Turns his nose up at any vegetable. The last time he was at my place, he collapsed and shit himself. Looked like diabetic shock. I tried getting the rest of the friend group to have an intervention, but the rest are conflict adverse and don’t eat healthy either, so it didn’t go anywhere. The house he lives in has had three people die of weight related issues, but they think BMI is a scam.

It’s a parody of WH40k.

It’s both. Look at the shield.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
On cookies? I never click anywhere. Everything is gated and sandboxed.

Mark Zuckerberg isn’t that much different from Elon Musk as far as politics go.
If you want to be verified, you should just have a personal website that you publicly direct people to. Using someone else’s social media website as your primary soap box has always been madness.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
I never said anything about nazis.
I only know blue check marks from twitter. There’s really not much difference between the two though.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
Well, it’s from a blue stared twitter user, which is much, much worse.
- Comment on "No eating for free allowed! You must only watch it rot on the beach!" 1 month ago:
Because they have lawyers in retainer. They only speak one language. From their perspective, putting out a threading notice is the cheapest, easiest thing to do.

In their defense, the warning could just be a CYA thing if someone eats one, gets sick and wants to sue for food poisoning.

Any source that isn’t Daily Mail?
- Comment on When you get carried away with the corn 1 month ago:
Or just staged.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 month ago:
Reddit also mass banned the worse people around that time and I suspect they did it to internationally poison the user base of Voat.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 month ago:
Voat was setup to be a one-to-one clone of reddit, minus any moderation and it failed because it was one-to-one. Lemmy/federation is functionally different.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 month ago:
Swap out beans for bacon and it’s slashdot in its prime, minus the libertarians.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 month ago:
When the other platforms were twitter and facebook, it wasn’t really wrong either. The bar was just that low.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 2 months ago:
Bungie had always been a Mac first, PC/console later game dev up to that point.

- Comment on Anon finds a bot 2 months ago:
A post made on a public forum is public information. I’ve used post history to figure out if someone was serious vs telling a joke that fell flat or for weird patterns.
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 2 months ago:
He was like that back with The Apprentice. The scenes with him telling the contestant off had them in different rooms.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 2 months ago:
ACLU, EFF, FFRF…
The problem is, these groups try to do things honestly.
- Comment on Game library 2 months ago:
I just finished Doom 3 after getting it for free on GoG a while back. It’s… not terrible really. Not as good as the average Doom game, but not as bad as people made it out to be. The combat is weak, but the atmosphere is great.
