Reading this thread is letting me know how behind the times I am, like 90% of the apps are greek to me.
Used to have a huge library media server, torrenting all the day long.
But you guys, WOOHOO hosting drop servers and auto seeking subtitle and NFOs 24/7 from a curated seek list. FUCKING BRILLIANT!
I don't got that kind of energy in my old age
Nowadays I have a handful of pirate stream sites and that's really all I need.
As much as I love the tanginess of your meme, your username has earned you a permablock.
Recognizing that is a part of growth, don't think bad of it.
I used to fucking love a cartoon about a living magical alien rubick's cube that was so bad it didn't even make it through the first season despite the toy being a raging success at the time.
Just like if you cringe at the stupid shit you used to do, it's just a sign that you've matured enough to know it was stupid.
Authoritarianism will never die, there will always be people wanting to be dictator.
Violence is needed to hack back the sprouting fronds of fascism wherever it arises, but it will never stop arising, and Normandy wasn't won with a strongly worded letter.
I am serious enough that I have punched nazis before and look forward to a time when I can punch nazis again.
Violence is necessary for a functioning society to address those that reject the social contract that are not amenable to rationale.
Some people are more dangerous alive than the disruption their death would have caused.
I appreciate and understand that you are a strict pacifist, and that you feel it is a worthwhile life to follow, and I agree with you.
The problem is, in order for most of the populace to be pacifists, there still needs to be agents of violence to remove the disruptors who wish to co-opt or destroy our society that are not amenable to words.
Your ideology cannot exist in the real word as it will be consumed by other ideologies that do not eschew violence.
I have played Dwarf Fortress and I consider myself quite good, pulled off a bunch of tricky megaproject engineering tasks and mastered hydraulics and lava flows.
Most people consider Dwarf Fortress a very hard game. I consider it a moderately hard game.
Noita is a
FUCKING
hard game
And I say that as a person with likely more than 20k hours in game.
I bought it, played it for 2 hours, got tired of dying to invisible poisoned zones and uninstalled.
I WANT to like the game but it is really stupidly buggy and claustrophobic
I've got 1k+ hours in both Fallout 4 and Skyrim, bought them both on opening day.
Haven't finished either of their main quests, for Fallout I just really didn't care at all about Shaun.
Hermaevs' youtube channel has a no-hit RL1 boss run where she shows Morgott's safe spacing and timing, got me through and now I'm trying to RL1 Radahn and I'm stuck there lol
I don't know if it still works but abusing the physics engine to make kinetic ship obliterating shotguns added an easy extra hundred hours to my gameplay.
Tactics on how to spot propaganda
shared stories of propaganda sources exposed
Little know practices of the putinbots for study purposes
there's a fucktonne of stuff that's better than 35 renditions of 'no shit sherlok'.
This is actually incorrect and European nobility showed the template.
Do you know who served in the houses of the truly powerful? The children of the slightly less powerful. For example, the Groom of the Stool, charged with wiping the king's ass amongst other toiletry things, was a position hotly contested by noble families of all levels.
Once they wipe out the poverty class, their servants will be what remains of the middle class, who will be desperate to maintain their lifestyle.
It isn't spoken of out loud but among the ultra wealthy, having an all white staff is considered a mark of social status. And once those disenfranchised middle class families bend the knee, their uncertain future is resolved and we have reinvented feudalism.
It's where we're heading.
They don't care, they got to bust down a door and shout at people, that's all that matters to the pigs.
But then they won't get to jump into their exciting Swat carriers and get dressed up as real special ops bois nearly as often
Can we get a little deeper of a discussion as our top comment please? We used to be better than this...
Most upvoted top 2/3rds of the thread are all repeats of the same 'yeah no shit'.
The remaining 1/3 is actual discussion...
Latex is not plastic, it comes from trees and your body doesn't care.
Otherwise you really screwed up chewing all that bubble gum as a kid (which contains latex).
Apologies for the handful of pixels, Standard Def was terrible but that's all we had
So I just had a mod out a harassment report I had made to the very people that have been harassing me, connect it with my username, and be dismissively mocking about it.
This is absolutely the kind of reddit behavior I left there to avoid.
Of course all of you will tell me "But itsn't against any rules", and I counter: It creates a hostile environment which is explicitly against the rules.
I've searched and scoured and the only thing I've found is to post to this community. That feels strange as this isn't a technical issue.
Is there anything to be done about this or do I just leave Lemmy too?
IED(EDS) sufferer and spectrum surfer. You probably won't like what I have to say.
