  • I won't shoot the messenger, but I need to know: what is the "institutionalized sex trafficking" you are referring to and how does it fit with being an important issue when you look at Trump vs Harris?

    Only one of them is in pictures with Epstein for a start. So how do they flip that around? Or are we talking Q stuff like pizzagate?

    Also important to know: why would Harris be the largest potential obstacle to be capable of addressing it?

  • I've found the perfect method to take a break from Factorio is to apply Satisfactory and a dash of Techtonica.

    I say break, because there's no stopping Factorio. I'm afraid it's chronic.

  • This sounds like a fever dream interpretation of the Halloween episode of Community Season 3, Horror Fiction In Seven Spooky Steps.

    Go watch it if you haven't already, great stuff.

  • Oops, I blocked all the blue people. I found it massively distracting on my Lemmy client.

  • As a moderator and admin for countless Discord communities, yeah, I've seen some vile shit.

    Pretending that it doesn't have an impact doesn't help in the long run. Secondary Trauma is a thing. Create a workflow to distance yourself from the content, plan breaks, and please talk to someone (qualified) about it.

  • For sure. Giving refunds because services have not been provided is really detrimental for profits! It's unfair.

  • It would be piss easy to prove your phone is always listening to you. Stop being obtuse.

  • I've said this elsewhere but it would be piss easy to prove. I think it's weird that we're talking about how something can be true because it hasn't been disproven, but not that something can't be true because it hasn't been proven.

  • Of course a researcher is never sure something is 100% ruled out. That's part of how academic research works.

    My eagerness stems from being tired of anecdotes presented as evidence supporting a weird privacy conspiracy. This takes away from the actual issue at hand, which is your digital footprint and how your data is used.

  • It was an ad partner's pitch deck, not much to do with Facebook itself. And it didn't really explain how it would be listening anyway.

    Besides, if they were recording, processing and / or transferring audio, that would mean there's data usage, battery usage, etc - stuff that's easy to prove.

    The truth is a lot simpler (and scarier) and you will find that in the links I provided.

  • If they actually prove something, I'd be happy to give them a watch. 40 minutes of some dudebro's podcast with a phone in his hands doesn't count

  • I think the problem is that people think the memes are created by the person uploading, as if they chose to censor it.

    Someone is just sharing a funny they saw on Instagram, there's not much more to it.

  • Epic timing, I want to dive in and see if I can mirror setting up Discord communities in the most painless way possible. This seems to be a great step in the right direction. Imagine a place.. where you get the best of both worlds and we can leave Discord behind.

  • The former first daughter

    Is this really a thing? I know about "First Lady" and I think that's fine, but "first daughter"? That's kinda whack.

  • Yeah I don't get why they would want to risk this. Go remake/demake some game by a company that won't try and kick you in the nuts.

  • Haven't we seen something similar between Max and Lewis 2020 and 2021?

    Obviously causing a collision is regulated, but no driver wants to prove a point by allowing the collision to happen, because that would just mean they have less chances of scoring points. So it's a bit of a weird area that is exacerbated by inconsistent ruling.

  • Listen I love NMS for what it has become, but of course they would say that. They know that (the veil of) personal investment in their userbase's woes is good marketing. What would the answer otherwise be? "fuck your save, start over"?

    And if they can't fix it, they can at least say "we tried".

  • I unironically want this

  • There's definitely some sketchy stuff going on, but in general, reviews are mostly an opinion. A lover of the original versus a hater of the original will probably not give the same score to this game. It really depends on the reviewers history, preferences, ability to investigate, empathize with other demographics / types of players, patience, endurance, willingness to forgive bad gameplay/graphics/story/music as long as the gameplay/graphics/story/music is good, etc.
