Only now? She's already said that the only thing Hitler did wrong was expand outside Germany. They not only kept her after that but defended her, accusing critics of taking her words out of context. (The context does not actually help her in the slightest) Why is her doing the exact same thing she always does suddenly a problem?

We've existed since the 80's. The only thing recent about us is the population boom the internet gave us.

Twitter and it's clones have a character limit. This is just how you put a longer message on there.

Pac man disrespects the dead by eating ghosts, which is considered highly disrespectful in cultures that practice ancestor worship. What's more, Pac man has a wife who is explicitly shown to be as capable as he is, to the point where the only real difference between them is that Mrs Pac man has a bow and lipstick. A bold statement on gender roles if I've ever seen one. In summary, this game is a feminist masterpiece that pokes fun at superstitious conservative countries. Truly a thought provoking piece that will be remembered in the same vein as other great provocative works, such as A Modest Proposal or the movie Borat.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that you had to make a certain number of posts before you were allowed to criticize the platform. /s

Seriously though, there's no need to get hostile. Having a hobby isn't supposed to feel like work.

Lemmy's biggest weakness right now is a slow drip feed of content. After blocking all of the sports communities and instances in languages I don't speak, I'm left with the following:

• News
• A bunch of meme communities that might as well be interchangeable with one another
• Memes about a TV show I don't watch
• Newspaper comics
• Animal pictures
• Way too much vanilla porn

None of this is bad content per say, but it doesn't capture what I loved about reddit before they ruined it. Reddit was a place where even the most niche of niche topics had a space that you could check in on every day. Obscure anime, unusual collections, diy showcases, you name it. Cultivating a culture that produces produces such specific groups requires enough people to form them. In a group of 100 random people, the number of them who are into Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (look it up) is going to be quite low, but that number increases the more people you include in the sample size and sooner or later you have a subreddit for Ginga fans. That was why Reddit was special to me, and that is what's keeping Lemmy from reaching that high for me.

Yes, but I'm autistic so whatever.

Every word in that headline is objectively true. What on earth are you talking about?

For real though, why do bigots even like X-Men? It's not even remotely subtle.

Doesn't it, though?

It used to normal to beat your kids. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.

This is what the players wanted, and the industry listened.

The reason we are having this conversation in the first place is because people didn't want it.

This isn't forced upon anybody.

They added it the game post-launch, after reviews had already come out. Anyone morally opposed to micro transactions (which as I'll get to in next point, have a very good reason to be opposed to on principle) who had bought the game has been tricked into supporting a business practice they despise. This is incredibly scummy and should rightfully be seen as a dick move.

It only becomes a moral problem if somebody's choices are circumvented, but that's not really what's happening here.

Micro transactions as a concept are strategically designed to exploit people with addictive personalities. This is not a theory on my part, this is legitimately what the intent behind them is. But don't take my word for it, here's a video discussing that very thing.

Something being normalized doesn't automatically make it morally okay.

What the fuck did I just watch?

These are peoples lives we're talking about.

Nothing straighter than two guys playing twister by themselves right?

I think I forgot a word. That's what I get for posting after taking my sleepy pills.

I miss r/comedynecrophilia.

Find your flame from the Sonic Frontiers ost.

Thank you.

I can't click a screenshot and go to the article.

I know where it's from. I just wanted a link to the article.
