2008-2014, I think it had value as a public square where journalists of all stripes really engaged. Now it’s a cesspool. Anyone still hanging out at the nazi bar should really stop and think about the ramifications.

CBD joints

Genuinely curious as I’m a pot user and this made me wonder - why not just… joints? if I were looking for just cbd I’d consumer it other than smoking.

Feel free to dm response heh

looks dense. Would love to try it.

AAA devs should only release games they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into making once they are absolutely finished and bug free with no expensive future DLCs or microtransactions, absolutely no ongoing subscription costs for the absolute minimum price they think they can sell it for and not go out of business but it should also be DRM free and nobody should buy it anyway because its digital and you shouldnt feel bad downloading it for free because it doesnt cost money to make another digital copy its just corporate greed.”

Honestly I think it’s a lot more complicated and nuanced regarding this here than reddit. When I was a wee lad, I yo-ho-ho some sweet software and games via bbs’s but mostly went legit as I aged. I don’t think there’s more piracy justification here than reddit, but also, I think we’re in a ‘golden-shower-age’ of enshitiffication where services paid for won’t be rendered and that, justifiably, moves the sentiment.

That said, as a game dev, I don’t think people are asking for your proposed argument overwhelmingly - they just want AAA devs to treat their paying userbase better. Some of those considerations are unrealistic, but often they’re justified.

I’m finding Lemmy’s audience to be very similar to 2008 reddit, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than current day reddit and I thank the lemmy creators for having a viable alternative.

FUCK SPEZ.

I’m more worried about North Korea’s program. Iran is, strangely, the paragon of reason and predictability - compared to North Korea.

-_-

or a hospital… ugh

I imagine sad, regretful brits dining/vacationing are a boon to the economy.

then I can only hope and pray the hondalords hear my hondaprayers

This other thread on chicken inflation kinda bucks this trend but who’s really right?

or maybe they’re growing humongous chickens with teeny tiny bones?

But also I’m blown away that most grocery stores don’t list inventory and prices on the website. I can only think this is because they don’t want to show prices in an attempt to get you to go to the store.

yuuup.

Are these prices 1950 aus shillings? trying to make sense of it, thanks.

yo Honda bring back the Element as an EV! PLEASE!

yeah I know you’re not Honda but still…

Neat, is it because it was a cutting?

Archers do this intentionally for skill bonus

can you explain or link to some kind of attribution for this assessment? I don’t know enough about archery to understand how it would help.

yup.

FOR REAL FOLKS: here’s a famous civil rights lawyer explaining it, then he gets a cop to explain it too. The answer remains unchanged: it’s a whole fuckton easier to incriminate yourself or give cops the details they need to hang a charge on you even if they know you’re the wrong person, it never benefits you to talk to the police without an attorney.

misleading headline. Farmers outraged when cops illegally destroy their crops, burned their house down, and stole $300,000 of tribal funds FROM TRIBAL LAND without an actual crime in sight.

Fucking ridiculous fascist pigshits.

choice or forced the reconcile the gloomy outlook, the right wing would love to take even the right to choose away from the population. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/birth-control-is-next-republicans-abortion.html

oh trust me, the right wing would LOVE to take your ability to choose to procreate out of your hands completely. Abortion for sure, but also the the night after pill and even birth control. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/birth-control-is-next-republicans-abortion.html

Makes a fascinating short story:

Jimmy thought his job at the data center was easy, clock in, watch the cameras, do the rounds, clock out. Good pay, low effort…

then 10,000 people showed up with hammers and crow bars. Jimmy was about to have a very bad day.
