  It’s not even real. It’s a fabricated story to push an agenda of a special interest group.

  People eat and talk about McDonalds every day, but that doesn’t make it haute cuisine.

  I’m so confused, I’m a Spotify user and there are multiple artists I’ve selected “don’t play this artist” on that Spotify blocks for me; it won’t even play those artists when I click playlists including them.

  Oh weird, they’re showing up under the “Chat” option for some reason?

  I’m so confused by this post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yabba-dabba-doo!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So this is a weird one… I’m seeing in the post details that there’s 8 comments on this post, but none are showing as visible to me.

  I’m also not seeing anything in the modlog for this post… so where are all the comments?

  Did we decide to start fucking shadowbanning on Lemmy or something or is there some other explanation here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the entirety of the internet was a simulation how would prove it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I think it’s extremely unlikely. That’s why I think Apatheism is the way:

  The theist says there is a God with certainty, and atheist says there is no God with certainty, the agnostic says we cannot be certain the existence of God, and the apatheist says “guys why are we wasting our time stressing out about unknowables? Let’s go get a pizza.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the entirety of the internet was a simulation how would prove it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This suggests a cosmic reason or purpose, yet I find no evidence for that conclusion exists.

  There just might simply not be a “why”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the entirety of the internet was a simulation how would prove it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. But the harrowing part is realizing this applies to some folks we deem delusional in the context of our world too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the entirety of the internet was a simulation how would prove it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend, we cannot even prove that our entire life is real.

  We know the human mind is capable of extreme delusion, we can observe this in mentally unwell patients who are convinced their delusions are reality.

  So if we acknowledge the human mind is capable of delusion, delusion so strong to be certain in its veracity, then there is no way that we can confidentially conclude that anything and everything we know isn’t delusion.

  So in short, there is no way to definitively prove the internet is real because we can’t even definitely prove that reality is real.

  I tried to look into this, but I couldn’t figure out how any of it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I view others in social media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For extra accuracy you should have made it a repost with tons of engagements of an original post by a different users with barely any engagements

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you, but I do believe that is an unrealistic expectation for interacting with casual lemmy posts when a custom of including relevant context exists. But all good, I’ll admit my lack of awareness on this one; you did nothing wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been covered in tons of gaming circles this week alongside the similar destruction of Polygon, so I didn’t think it needed to be stated yet again as I was summarizing bullet points from a live stream.

  Very fair and valid.

  I will attempt to gently state that this is c/games, not c/gamingcircles and thus many of us are very interested in video games but not necessarily the industries on the periphery thereof, so what seems “yet again” to you might be a first time for others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “to what happened with Giant Bomb”

  Boy I sure am glad that seemingly-crucial part of context was included in this post.

  You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn’t exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, we’re talking about mass market, supermarket butters in the first place here. Nobody is comparing these to boutique shop butters.

  Beyond that, for me personally, I’ve always considered Kerrygold to be a very decent, better than Land O’ Lakes or store brand butter, but I have a preference for either Plugrà or Lurpak in my supermarket-available butter. Finlandia is also very good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s probably the key. While I’m blessed in that I have friends in my life, I don’t really have any gamer friends so it’s also just me vs randoms in these scenarios

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m excited to see if they turn it into a FPS or a Sokoban-type game, since we learned from FF7R that apparently you can radically change the core gameplay mechanic but still call your game a “remake” somehow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know I’m an old head, but I fall all of these games (Deadlock, Apex Legends, Overwatch, whatever) to be fun for about two hours and then I’m sated.

  I genuinely wish I understood the appeal because so many people seem to get so much joy from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for "girly" games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t recommend Celeste enough, personally.

  I will warn you that the platforming can be challenging, but if it’s too stressful Celeste offers almost unparalleled accessibility options that will allow you fine control over the difficulty so no matter your skill level you’ll be able to progress.

  Great story, cozy atmosphere but still emotional impact, and the only “fighting” you do is against yourself.

  Amazing game, highly recommend Celeste

  And you should sit down and stop offering your ignorant opinion. I’m going to block you now, have a nice life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What an insane comparison. Addiction to gacha games is nothing like sexual assault. Talk to any specialist in addiction and while they certainly will talk about the evils of the various systems meant to capture such prey (gambling, drinking, etc), not a single one will fully absolve the addict of their part in the addiction.

  Period.

  A person who is a victim of rape never walked into a rapist’s house and ordered a rape; there is nothing comparable about and victims of addiction.

  You’re fucking disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean…

  The unfortunate reality is that both parties, the customer and the game company, are culpable and both share blame

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I don’t play any game with microtransactions.

  I’m only interested in games I can purchase outright and then own. If there’s large scale DLC that’s fine, great even, but if there’s some in-game way to spend money that isn’t restricted to a DLC button/section, then I’m not interested.

  I want to play games, not be inundated by constant sales opportunities

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Cheers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never said stop reporting, I said stop acting surprised. I don’t want them to stop talking about it, I just want them to be honest about it and say “Trump lied about this today” instead of “the Trump white house thinks…”

  I just want them to call a spade a spade instead of acting like it’s not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they’re shocking.

  Yeah dude, the lying liar lied.

  Literally every time this dude opens his mouth he is either lying or spewing hate. Sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, so will Trump lie.
