I got a book that was recommended on Lemmy! It's called Blindsight by Peter Watts and I mentioned the book to family and they got it :) Original post: https://lemmy.world/post/22134494

They didn't, it's been a meme image since 2017 or so

I just saw that yesterday and I got very giddy as Home Alone was my favorite movie when I was younger. They even did the lines!

Sounds like marketing

Great news I suppose. He does need to work on his PR if he wants to keep paying users on the app.

There's users from Sync for Reddit who understand this is how he works - months of silence and then suddenly an update.

I'm not saying it's unacceptable, but the lack of consistency and transparency is not for everyone so I understand when people flock to other apps thinking Sync is abandoned.

Thanks for the update, OP.

Perhaps too subtle for most to care but it’s there

I'd rather say it's only something to care about when you are in high school or peaked in high school.

Nobody cares in community servers who's got animoji and who can send a sticker from another server.

It essentially creates a caste system where equal exchange can’t happen.

If you experience Nitro members being seen as more important than others, you're in the wrong Discord communities.

I've never seen someone being glorified because they are a Nitro user, and although I've seen some member pretending to be superior because they have Nitro, they were quickly to be ridiculed and put back in their place for trying to gloat about paying for it.

Source: been on Discord for over 9 years.

Friendly reminder you can cancel your trial version / free month if you have activated one recently, and you'll keep the perks until your trial runs out.

Glad they are going for this, although it seems a bit weird that they aren't going for bigger players that have similar or worse tactics.

I always go in thinking it's just creative writing exercises. Rarely disappoints

Did the admins remove your post, or the moderators of said community?

Regardless, I doubt that community is meant for posts that encourage people to stop using Reddit completely. Some more context would be nice

edit: downvoted within 30 seconds lol. Alright OP, I'll just leave you to your rant

I was just being in character, this comm is literally for anything and everything, so whatever.

Some might see the humour in this still, but I'm pretty sure 1) she doesn't have a PhD and 2) this is just an ad for her OF

Also from Reddit:

Free advertising. Stop contributing to it and post something funny.

One looks like gambling but is actually a fun roguelite card game, the other one looks like fun but is actually a gambling game. Guess which one is rated 18+?

She's a fucking hero for allowing the trial to go public. In solidarity with other women who are not recognized as victims of sexual crimes. "Hope my case ensures no one will ever have to go through this again", and "it’s not for us to have shame - it’s for them”.

What is an advertisement?

24% said somewhat acceptable. 17% completely acceptable.

This is different than worshipping. Just because someone points out an ugly truth about the bubble we can be in here, doesn't mean you have to call them a bootlicker.

Edit: they edited out 'bootlicker' to ask a rhetorical question, still missing the point that the meme levels of worship found on Lemmy is fringe compared to the rest of the country, let alone the world.

I agree!

(context: in my language a "friend's price" is a saying for a good or cheap deal)

It's funny to see the look on my friends faces when I say "a friend's price, right?" and then offer them more than what it would normally cost. Usually it saves you a bunch of time or effort anyway (depending on the job), so it's a fun and nice way to reward them for their efforts.

I can't believe they are getting away with so many bullshit non-solutions to the point where you wonder if they even know how to read.

I wonder if they trained AI on this. Might explain some things

They are saying the litigation is to maintain value and exclusivity, and that they are able to push out high quality titles without aggressive monetization because of that.

Not that the lawyers impact quality.

I think you're in the right neighbourhood with that opinion! Remember folks: upvote if you think it's unpopular.

Also, they do have games on sale from time to time, but it's never more than 33% if you're lucky, and only a few select titles. You're better off buying second hand. No money to Nintendo and cheaper for you.
