Yeah, considering the compounding problems of transportation and food deserts in the US I think this could be helpful for a lot of people, but on the other hand I'm not wild about a company like Uber extracting profit from public assistance. Feels a little exploitative.
I'm removing this comment. Your link isn't relevant to the discussion, Prop 8 was an attempt to ban gay marriage in a state where it was currently legal.
Further attempts to debate human rights will be met with a permanent ban.
I honestly don't intend to be rude, so please don't take this the wrong way. But this is a very minor detail that was featured in prelaunch marketing and went heavily viral. I understand not wanting to encounter spoilers about important events in a game, but this is not that.
As far as I can tell this is the only time this has been posted on this community or even on this instance (beehaw.org). The nature of Lemmy is that if you're subscribed to similar communities on multiple instances you're likely going to see duplicate posts sometimes.
No worries, lol. There are still lots of kinks being worked out in the Lemmy software so we're pretty used to seeing duplicate everything.
In this case, though, it looks like it only came through the one time (unless some of the reports are delayed and I'm going to get bombarded later today 😅
Hi, please remember to Be(e) nice. I also think it's a little silly to get in a huge flap about the headline of this article, but I'd ask that you also remember to be kind to other users.
Hi, sometimes the UI has issues where it won't give feedback that whatever action you tried to take worked, but often on the backend it has. If you're referring to the report you made in !gaming, then I'm able to see it in the mod queue.
TBH, unless you got extraordinarily lucky (or had the right connections to get somebody to push your NFTs) you probably would have wound up losing money. "Gas" fees on the Etherium blockchain can get really high, and I found this article that has some really good numbers on median prices for NFT sales. For the time period their data came from (a random week during the NFT gold rush) about %30 of artists sold for prices low enough that they were likely to barely break even or possibly lose money on fees. Virtually no artists made any appreciable money on NFTs even during the biggest hype periods.
I understand wanting to know what evidence someone has for an argument, but when the source is attributed in the posted article then demands for proof come across as sealioning which is very much discouraged on Beehaw.
For those that don't feel like reading that Media Matters report, the account in question was openly and explicitly neo-nazi, and Media Matters has screenshots of a number of posts with memes praising Hitler, Holocaust denial, and "great replacement" memes. There's also a meme that just says "It's okay to be a national socialist" which seems about as pro-Nazi as something could possibly get.
Whether it was fascist or not matter because the word has lost its meaning. Could be something fairly innocuous really.
CNN sources a Media Matters report which goes into detail as to the content of the twitter account. Tl;dr, it's an explicitly neo-nazi account which regularly posted memes and content praising Hitler and the Nazi party and pushing neo-nazi talking points.
I'm not sure what it accomplishes playing semantic games about whether something fits the technical definition of fascism (Nazi Germany absolutely does, btw) when the commonly understood definition of far-right, ultra-nationalist, authoritarianism is abundantly clear.
lol yeah sounds totally righteous to dictate which opinions others should have
I don't think anyone is proposing that we dictate others' opinions. But companies, advertisers, and platforms are under no obligation to be associated with the expression of those opinions, and I have no issue stating that Nazis, Fascists, and their ideological descendants are very unwelcome on Beehaw.
I understand frustration with potential spoilers, but to be fair this scene was in a livestreamed demo that Larian hosted that went viral before the game even launched. It's not been kept particularly secret and I don't think it's probably a major plot point.
