Can’t we just assume a spherical cow?

And also consistency! I had good results from a regular peanut time every day

Good heavens! I’m starting to think there’s something rotten in this “steal people’s work, regurgitate it back at them at great environmental cost and if they don’t like it, force it down their throats at every opportunity” industry

Please enlighten us

Next up for your morning drive is Lil’ Adolf, with his smash hit “You say problem, I say solution”

Exactly. I love Souls games but I think having an option somewhere for people that need it wouldn’t ruin the intended experience. Especially if there’s a disclaimer before you choose it.

I’m not mad they don’t have it or anything. But like, shouldn’t there be a way to play if you literally can’t otherwise?

I was only messing around, no need to apologise!

Potential sea lioning? That would be literally any question. And it was only the second question. And the topic is not whatsoever the type of controversial thing people would usually approach in that way.

Honestly, I bristle at the overuse of the term sea lioning. It makes the internet a much worse place if we go around assuming people are only trying to find out stuff they don’t know from other humans as a malicious method to waste our time. That comic did more harm than good, imo

So sassy. You just made the list bro it’s all over for you now

One of my favourite newer bands, the Bobby Lees! This album, Bellevue, is my favourite by far.

Worth a listen if you like punk-ish stuff

I guess! Possibly high effort, low reward but it could work I suppose.

Idea being those converts go on to do the work for you elsewhere.

But I still think they’re just people after this stage. Lots of people become communist on their own as well. You don’t need to glaze China to do it but it probably creates a bit of cognitive dissonance to see how awful it is there. So you ignore stuff like the uyghurs and pretend it’s amazing so you can pretend communism will work.

As everyone else has said, there is definitely this issue on Lemmy, when criticising China and Russia especially. Happened to me a few times. It’s weird.

I once did a test to see if the bias was really that bad and commented on a relevant news article on .ml something like “fuck Putin. Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine” maybe with a couple of extra similar phrases. Comment deleted by mods with no explanation. Insane.

I could just be paranoid but I’m fairly convinced the responses weren’t from patriotic citizens. I think they were paid trolls or bots, and I think their purpose was to quiet negative talking points about the countries that were mentioned.

This is a common suggestion. I can see why people say it, but I just find it hard to believe people are really spending time here to do that. Wouldn’t you just go to reddit? What, do you want to convert the trekkies and Linux evangelists?

I think it’s much scarier than that: some people are just fucking nuts

This is a very volatile section of the world, everyone should pay us for helping with it

I would argue my dick is used the vast majority of time, in a nonsexual manner

No doubt. If we’re talking % of time then basically nothing is sexual.

But primarily it is a sexual organ. That is why we have them. I think that’s the difference when it comes to your mouth example. Or hands as well. It’s a little silly to take it to that extreme.

But certainly people overreact about nudity

I think you have good points but it doesn’t fit with current social norms in most places. People respond like this because we don’t usually see people’s junk. Breaking this norm sends people’s minds right to sex because that’s when you usually see other people naked.

a naked body is not inherently a sexual object

Genuine question: what about a dick/vagina? Likewise it is natural and has other functions too. But it is an inherently sexual object, right?

If so, then I think it’s clear why people see naked bodies (literally, the stuff we see all the time + visible dick/vagina + nipples) as inherently sexual. Nudity is fine in theory, but you don’t get one without the other.

The worst thing about this is when you actually get the money together but then afterwards you’re too broke to get the run off the ground. It needs something good to copy or it’s just dead weight.

Baron is definitely the worst offender for this because it sucks on a new run

I was wondering which line is most likely to come in. I think the middle row is a good bet in the earlier seasons (they had the CG inside body thing in basically every one)

Also maybe the top left to bottom right diagonal, but the blurry patient vision thing is not that common

There are a bunch of voters so wishy washy that they go from voting republican to voting democrat from election to election (even post 2016!), and centrists’ solution is to be just as wishy washy to attract them?

These people shift with the god damn wind. Don’t be a weather vane, be a fucking hurricane.

Yeah I was expecting a much worse price. Unfortunately I’m not ready to update my console yet, so I won’t buy on release like I did with V. But you can bet I’ll get it as soon as I upgrade.

To the people complaining about the stories in GTA games:

1. Rockstar made Red Dead 2. Great characters. Great story. Great writing. You haven’t played VI yet, the story could be awesome.

2. Some people just like to have fun. I play loads of story-focused games, narrative based, lore-rich, all types. But it’s still fun to drive around and shoot shit while listening to silly fake radio stations sometimes. Not everything has to be a thought-provoking artistic experience. Give me sticky bombs and a rock/punk station and I’ll be happy for hours.

Yes it’s overhyped. But it will be fucking awesome nonetheless

The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions

I’m a bit confused about this. Is the US going to be Iran’s bitch at the Security Council now?

Yeah they should link to it anyway!

And yes, this is a bad law. Rushed in a few months before an election by a right-wing coalition including the fascist SD. Things went badly so now they’re throwing scraps to the frothing racists in their base in a desperate attempt to maintain power. They don’t care if it’s a good law, it’s chum for dumbasses.
