God, do you remember the hell that was mid-2010’s gaming? 90% of all releases were fps’s with every color just being a different shade of brown.

They dropped atheism and I’m not even sure how that works.

“What religion are you?”

“Oh, I’m not religious, I don’t really believe in any religion.”

“…I said, what religion are you?”

As you can see from the above example, the users pushing the whole “America is the only bad country! China is amazing and never does anything wrong!” rhetoric are overwhelmingly from a single instance; lemmy.ml.

No matter the topic of conversation, an .ml user just can’t help themselves from virtue signaling in the comments about how much they hate imperialism and how they know that anything bad about China/Russia/NK is literally all Western propaganda.

Sure, if you weren’t competing with every other vape out there that has things like variable voltage settings (at least 3), a pre-heat feature, the ability to turn on/off with 5 presses, or to turn off automatically after 5-10 minutes without use, a low battery indicator, a charging indicator, a broken coil indicator…

Hmm, seems like you need a lot more than a battery, heating coil, button, and single transistor.

Most people are idiots.

I don’t suggest that the methheads selling their food stamps via buying food and selling it to strangers for half price suggest a food shortage in the US.

I mean you should suggest that, because thats exactly what it is. People can’t afford food, so they are seeking out lower cost alternatives. It is a sign of a food crisis. Just like people kidnapping pets to sell for food is a sign of a food crisis.

Doesn’t mean the food is reaching more rural areas, like where this dog was butchered. If an area is seeing pets being kidnapped to use as meat, that is not a good sign of food stability.

Makes me wonder if there is some kind of food shortage we’re not hearing about. Eating dogs is one thing, but the stealing of pets to use as meat sounds like a form of desperation.

I want to get back into it, but isn’t it end of life? Wasn’t the last expansion the final one?

Judges: expressing mild confusion and concern

Headlines: Judges RIP INTO lawyers with their BARE TEETH as they can BARELY CONTAIN their EXPLOSIVE FIREY RAGE!!!

It’s an unofficial Facebook group with barely 3k members. Why this is even a story is beyond me.

You mostly only get that sentiment on .ml. Other instances have more than two braincells they share between all users.

The thing they found in Project Hail Mary also happened to be the thing that was killing the human race.

Honestly, it was my favorite SW game I ever played. Yes, better even than KotR. I felt like I was IN the Star wars universe. Not as a mystical space wizard, but just like… A person. And I loved every second of it. The world felt so alive, especially the cities. There were so many small elements that didn’t need to be there but I appreciated nonetheless, like the street food mini game. Did I need a weird QuickTime event mini game to eat food? No. Did I enjoy the fact that you would get served a big dish of alien cuisine and then actually get to see your character eat it? Like bite-by-bite and could watch it disappear with incredible detail? Sure! There’s a lot of points like that where you can see a lot of love and passion for the game shine through.

It makes me so sad to hear how poorly received the game was. Coming on the heels of Andor, it felt like it was supposed to be a big push in trying to move the SW franchise away from the constant Jedi/Sith space wizard conflict and focus more on the universe itself. Hell, even the rebellion/empire conflict took a back seat in favor of exploring the criminal underworld. I would LOVE more of that (and yes I know about the Maul show and have been enjoying it, but it too leans heavy on the space wizards).

About as effective as writing a bill saying war is banned.

This gerrymandering is likely to backfire

Just sounds like desperate copium.

Lots of early 2000’s Scifi channel shows deserve a reboot

Eureka

Warehouse 13

Dresden Files

Librarian franchise (technically movies, but still)

Legend of Earthsea

Sanctuary

Just so many shows that either didn’t get the budget/attention they deserved, or were killed by the writer’s strike.

Capitulated to right wingers by firing his supposed best friend and band mate Kyle for making a joke about Trump.

I think from a Utilitarian approach, Bill Gates still falls into a net positive effect on the world. His foundation alone has saved millions of lives by nearly wiping out Polio and Guinea Worm, and severely reducing Polio. And you can try to argue that it isn’t him personally doing these things, but the dedicated people working at his foundation, but it’s his name on it, it’s his money funding it, and if he didn’t exist the foundation wouldn’t exist.

But I get it. Not everyone is a Utilitarian, and he’s done a lot of shitty things that are hard to overlook.
