  I dunno, but I’d sub that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a pattern for right-wing people to attack films, series and animations with protagonists from minority groups? Or is this an exaggeration?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it’s strongly correlated for those who attack minority representation to be right-wing, but the converse correlation is not as strong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It means the impetus that drives you to improve yourself or even maintain yourself comes from other people, rather than self-regulation.

  In your case, social status, specifically social approval from women you find attractive.

  There’s nothing wrong with that. Sounds like you just need to maintain contact with those types of people to stay motivated. Shouldn’t be too hard to arrange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you’re externally motivated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If any external factor made you create art, would your art be created by that factor?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a backdoor to legitimizing AI art?

  In any case, no, the creative agent is the one responsible for the art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ZZT is officially freeware these days, too! The last original floppy was purchased about five years ago, and afterwards Sweeney declared the program officially free to use, though sadly not open-source. I believe it has been successfully decompiled for over a decade, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People are still making games using it! When I get a bit more free time I want to polish up and republish the ones I made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  STEM-cel

  like incel, but for technogarchs

  or “technogarch”, I guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a whole community around self-made games using the editor that came with it, including a website full of games and a forum. A few years back one of us published a book about the community (and how we all turned out trans).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ZZT, the game that launched Epic. Say, there’s gotta be a ZZT community somewhere on lemmy, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why you make a stack of them. Generate hundreds up-front and you don’t need to generate new every time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems that way because we are, on the whole, actually arrogant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would a stateless society handle serious threats such as mass murder and terrorism?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And, like now, those acts would mostly be handled by taking out the shooter after the fact.

  Hopefully without a centralized for-profit news apparatus making the perpetrator infamous and inspiring copycats, though honestly we could achieve that under the current system of government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would a stateless society handle serious threats such as mass murder and terrorism?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass murderers would be handled about the same, ie. taken down by local security after the fact.

  Terrorism would be less likely to happen; without an organized state to terrorize, what’s the point? There’s no one to agree to the terrorists’ demands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried blanching? I never noticed a strong smell that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wasn’t sudden, this shit’s been muddying the waters for a decade and the precursors were seeping in for another decade or more before that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where's punk rock in 2025? anybody into woody guthrie? Say, MidEast U.S. Bands to look for?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe not the most recent, but have you checked out Defiance, OH? The band, not an actual town in Ohio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservative Discussions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No thanks! I decided when I switched to lemmy I was gonna avoid politics communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there is no photos of earth from space?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people, asking questions.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider me a “dry texter”?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  capitalizing the first letter makes you look like you were born in the 1970s

  one-word replies make you seem disinterested

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell no, not even close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What determines whether people are likely to purposely (but mistakenly) put two words together (without a space)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IT STARTS TODAY

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: This meme is not a porno. Just a random Instagram Post. So, Stop asking for sauce. Thanks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “erotica”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What determines whether people are likely to purposely (but mistakenly) put two words together (without a space)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always interesting to me to see which words get joined and which do not. The rise of ubiquitous realtime spellcheck is forcing some standardization, but not always in ways I agree with. For example, it tried to separate spell from check in the previous sentence. Other examples are hotdog and icecream and doublewide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: This meme is not a porno. Just a random Instagram Post. So, Stop asking for sauce. Thanks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s 100% porn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the lack of internal monologue? How is that experienced? Do you know what you’re going to say before you say it, or is it simultaneous? How do you problem-solve, can you ask yourself questions?

  I’m sorry if I’m being obnoxious, I’m just terribly curious. I’m always hungry for experiences outside my own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because no one’s going to make money off it and thus no one has a stake in promoting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speaking honestly, what has to happen for you personally to take to the street in protest of the current administration.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve already taken to the street in protest, starting eight years ago. Anyone who hasnt yet either isn’t going to or is just now coming of age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  a pill that makes your PP go up.

  OP did say he was getting older, there’s no shame in needing one of these

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A satisfying crunch, I imagine.

  Seriously, we eat other mammals often. Why should birds not eat other birds?
