  • I mean, I'd say that knowing not to overeat is probably a good thing, but I'm guessing you mean it from a vegan/vegetarian context, and I'm just gonna say No. No it does not mean that. In fact, veganism is something of a yellow flag for me. I've known vegans who were good people, but I've known a disproportionate amount who were insufferable, self-righteous pricks. I recognize there is a bias there in that there are probably vegans I met whose dietary lifestyle I've never known about, but that's already besides the point. Veganism is not a green flag

    And if you didn't meant that, then I really am curious as to what you meant by "unnecessarily"

  • I still have my old iPod that somehow still works. I don't use it regularly, but it comes in handy if I'm gonna be out some place bored, waiting for a while. I don't like to use my phone for music because I just generally try to rely on my phone as little as possible. Kinda hate how much cellphones are the absolute center of our lives. That thing gives me anxiety

    Up until a few years ago, I'd use my ipod almost exclusively hooked up to my car. Eventually I decided I wanted more space, so I swapped out for a USB with all of my music in it

  • A politic and governing system founded on the removal of others is gonna either fail because it runs out of others to remove, or, more likely, will keep making others of its own people in order to justify its existence

    No one is pure. There is no such thing as a pure ethnicity. We're not even all human, with some of us having neanderthal DNA, so creating a society designed to accept only one kind of person is effectively impossible, as there will always be hairs to split--And split those hairs they will when you found a society on the premise of blaming an other for your problems

    Besides, even ethnic purity is no guarantee for stability. Countercultures exist, and revolutions happen for things besides racial means. There is still class warfare, not to mention the every-splintering world of spiritual beliefs

    Ethnostates are doomed to fail

  • This subject keeps popping up, and I think the part that's really upsetting me besides the whole "I bought this, Capcom, let me do with it what I want" is the idea that you can have a game where the solution to your problems is blowing someone's head off with a shotgun, but god forbid Chun Li have exposed tits

    I'm not here saying that Capcom should just stop putting violence in its games, or that it should just sexualize all of its games. What I AM saying is that the idea that sexuality is inherently more offensive than killing is straight up backwards to me. It's not even a capcom thing. That's just most societies, but Capcom is hitting a nerve with this

  • Then just impliment some automatic message before anyone in support is contacted. Something like "If you installed mods in your game, the first step is to uninstall them. If it still works, reinstall the game. If it's still not working after that, THEN we'll help"

    Maybe worded a little more professionally, but just an automatic trouble-shooting message that's gonna be every support person's first response anyway

  • It was sorta supposed to be based off the books, not the games, but they made a whole bunch of... choices

    But it doesn't really matter anyway. The series' will still have those adaptations under their belts, and The Witcher did not impress many who watched it. Haven't heard a single bad thing about Edgerunners, and it's honestly way better than the game IMO

  • There's just so much more on reddit, including stuff I can't find here. Fewer communities with fewer people means there's just less to discuss. Honestly, I don't think Lemmy will ever overtake Reddit. Eventually, both will die when something else comes along

    Still, I've not been hating it. My introverted ass gets its dose of anonymous interaction, and I do think Lemmy will at least grow more overtime

  • I don't suspect it will, but they got the better adaptation. I love Witcher more than Cyberpunk by a wide margin, but holy shit is Edgerunners pure gold, whereas Netflix Witcher on the other hand.... Just a real waste of Henry Cavill

  • I literally just block it with Ublock Origin and Adguard as firefox extensions. Not even a VPN or anything. Only for, like a week did I get some popups telling me that Youtube didn't allow adblockers. I then closed those popups, and everything went as normal, no ads or anything. Those popups are already gone

    So yeah, try that. Save yourself from giving 15 bucks a month to one of the biggest goddamned corporations on the planet. It's not like that money was gonna go to better pay their employees anyway
