  • Well, keep saying it because you're right.

  • Honestly, the entire Unity system felt... wrong. Your character spends a lot of time making friends and can potentially get married and then just decides to throw all that away? Doesn't make sense to me. If you know the plot ahead and are willing to metagame you can set it up so that your love interest dies and you have motivation to "set things right" and go through the Unity once, but the endless NG+ cycles the game wants you to do can't really be justified in character.

  • Most kids are excited to go to school for the first time. Then school crushes that enthusiasm.

  • Which direction? "Absolute" free speech? You had high hopes for ...more racism, misogyny, and homo- and transphobia? Because that's the type of speech that was "censored" before Elon's takeover.

  • "Nicht ganz so bekloppt wie Sahra" ist keine Leistung. Ich erwarte ein klares Bekenntnis zur Ukraine, zu unseren anderen Verbündeten im Osten, und zur Aufrüstung der Bundeswehr um unsere Verbündeten im Zweifel auch ohne/gegen die USA verteidigen zu können.

  • They also won't result in anything other than US disengagement. Ukraine won't surrender just because Trump says so. And neither will Poland and the Baltic states, and because of that the EU as a whole won't.

    It won't even end the war. It'll just make America look weak.

  • What if you told this girl you want to try to be friends, but please make an effort to not be so hot when you're hanging out together. No makeup, her least flattering clothes

    So basically "don't be yourself and walk on eggshells around me at all times". That'd make me just not want to be around you, even as a friend. Friends don't do that. Do not ask her that.

    Adding: that request would make me feel not just uncomfortable but actually unsafe.

  • Two minutes (and you're being very optimistic here, for someone who isn't technically inclined it's almost certainly going to be more) of required reading on a subject that's just not even remotely interesting to 99% of people eliminates basically all non technical people. Because they just don't care enough to devote that time. If that's the user base you want, that works out, but I'd like people here who can hold a conversation about something other than Linux and Star Trek. It's honestly kinda boring here.

  • Och, Inhalte haben die schon. "Mehr Geld für Milliardäre" sähe auf dem Wahlplakat aber noch schlechter aus als Lindner.

  • Cut the gendered slurs. Those are not a good look.

    But to give an actual reply to your... expressed views, no. Neoliberalism, deregulation and privatisation is an issue in Germany, but there's still a significant difference between Germany and the United States. And if you had paid any attention at all you'd know that German policy is primarily a policy of national self-interest, and that Germany doesn't follow America blindly. German and American interests just happen to be broadly aligned (happened to be, anyway, considering the new US administration seems more interested in conflict with Germany and Germany's allies).

    Beyond that, most capitalist countries other than the United States have some form of universal healthcare system, I've just used Germany as an example because Germany was used as a point of comparison by someone else.

  • Germany is also a capitalist country. America's problems are more specific to America than they are to capitalism.

  • Yes, because ethnic cleansing famously doesn't cause loss of life. And even if you could somehow relocate millions of Gazans safely to a country that's willing and capable to accept them (of which there are none because the Arab nations aren't as much pro-Palestine as they are anti-Israel, one of the biggest mass murders of Palestinians was committed by Jordan) forcibly relocating people for a landgrab is still a crime against humanity. Even if it's not technically "genocide." Though considering the almost guaranteed loss of cultural heritage and consciousness calling cultural genocide would not be inappropriate in the slightest.

    For fuck's sake, I'm as pro-Israel as you can get and that's not something I can defend. It's completely inhumane. It's also exactly what I expected from a Trump presidency.

  • There won't be a hanging, nor any other form of execution. We don't do that here. It's uncivilised, it's brutal, and it's unnecessary.

  • /r/retrogaming's definition doesn't work anymore now that there are multiple generations that grew up with video games. Just because it doesn't feel retro to the 40 year old who remembers playing the PS2 as a teenager doesn't mean it's not retro. The PS2 is absolutely a retro console, and the PS3 is very much getting there.

  • There's zero indication that OP is ordering delivery often, so I'm not sure why you have jumped to that conclusion?

    Besides, whether or not ordering delivery often depends on what you're ordering and on your disposable income. McDonald's is far from the only option, plenty of real restaurants offer delivery too these days. If you can afford it, you can probably eat a fairly healthy diet even if you never cook. Not for me, in no small part because I usually enjoy cooking, but I'm not gonna judge people who don't. Doesn't affect me, I'm not gonna go out of my way to be annoyed.

  • ... that's not how the fediverse works. You'd have to move to an instance that doesn't federate with whatever instances (regardless of whether those are Lemmy or Piefed or Mbin instances) the redditors flock to.

  • And sometimes you're too tired for that or want something you can't reasonably make at home. There's nothing wrong with ordering food.

  • Ja, aber alleine halt nicht ausreichend. Klar ist die Sturmflut im Wohnzimmer Scheiße, aber kein Wohnzimmer zu haben weil du dir die Mieten nicht mehr leisten kannst, wenn du auch regelmäßige Mahlzeiten willst halt auch. Und auf diese Situation bewegen wir uns zu. Fokus rein auf den Klimawandel geht an den tatsächlichen Problemen der Ärmsten komplett vorbei.

    Edit - und das sage ich als Grünen-Wählerin.

  • Nope. I overestimated him.

    Doesn't mean that his party would go for an AfD coalition though. He hasn't even managed to get them to vote to pass a law with the AfD.

  • That's because NTFS isn't case-insensitive. If it was there'd be no two folders. Windows is a case-insensitive operating system running on a case-sensitive file system. It's pretty clear Microsoft wanted case sensitivity and then realised how much legacy software that'd break.
