- Comment on Canada | 'I did not expect to be a slave': Amnesty International report exposes abuse of migrant workers 1 day ago:
Bénédicte Carole Zé came to Canada in 2016 to work on a poultry farm after paying $10,000 in illegal recruitment fees for a job here. But once she arrived, she says she was forced to work 70- to 80-hour weeks for an employer who she alleges sexually abused her, controlled her banking and did not let her leave the house or have a cellphone, while threatening her with deportation if she complained.
An industry that shows zero empathy for animals also shows none for humans? Shocking. Truly shocking.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 week ago:
I started playing Monifactory, a modern Gregtech CEu Minecraft modpack. Someone send help.
- Comment on Orb: On the Movements of the Earth • Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite - Episode 17 discussion 2 weeks ago:
I just caught up on this show recently, and holy cow does it go hard. The way they tied the opening theme into episode 14 was amazing. It almost seems like it was expressly written to deepen the impact of that specific scene.
I think this show is criminally underappreciated.
- Comment on What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends 2 weeks ago:
I mean, they’re very different games… If you’re looking for something like overwatch, then seems like it could be a good match.
And yeah, the League new player experience is god awful. Even by people who still play it, it’s known for its toxicity. Riot let it degenerate into a cesspit because moderation was too difficult/costly, which caused all the friendly players to abandon ship. That means that the only people who still play are either clueless, toxic, addicted, seeking to profit, or somehow immune to vitriol.
Sadly, if you want a casual moba, I’m not sure it exists right now. Maybe ones that were never obscenely popular and still have passionate communities? Smite, HoN, Eternal Return?
If you just want a casual game, then yeah, best to get in with a game that has a lot of other casual players, and Rivals fits that bill right now.

Happy Birthday! (Technically they didn’t say we’d do it on your actual birthday.)
- Comment on Studio Mappa's Anime About Making Anime Is a Surprisingly Refreshing Isekai 3 weeks ago:
I dunno, I recall enjoying Shirobako, so I guess I enjoy getting glimpses from behind the screen, just maybe without all the gory details of how soul-crushing that industry is. I’ll probably at least give it a chance.
- Comment on US adds web and gaming giant Tencent to list of Chinese military companies 3 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong, Vanguard is BS, and I quit playing riot games because of it. However, that in itself isn’t sufficient to classify it as spyware. I still haven’t seen any evidence that it currently does anything nefarious with that access.
To me, there are 2 problems: 1) It could be used for targeted attacks, and the likelihood anyone would find out is much lower than in a widespread surveillance scenario. 2) It could be used to deploy a massive bot-net.
I think the US reclassification here is precautionary in nature.
- Comment on US adds web and gaming giant Tencent to list of Chinese military companies 3 weeks ago:
I mean, there’s always been speculation that Vanguard is spyware. There’s absolutely no need or justification for always-on cheat detection.
- Comment on How would you drink from this cup? 3 weeks ago:
That bump frightens me. I’m awkwardly turning my wrist an extra 45° to drink at the straighter part.
- Comment on Good morning I choose making the best of what you have. 4 weeks ago:
Kinda inspiring TBH. No matter how bad things get, at least I’m not driving around in a wheeled garbage can.
- Comment on Tfw you see two or more strongly monogomous, vegetarian African parrots in the genus Agapornis (family Psittaculidae) which are often kept as pets but they decide to fly away fr fr [Day 36] 4 weeks ago:
I’m still just curious about who’s on your waifu pillow.

Work on farm, can confirm. Ugly veggie? Straight in the food hole.

- Comment on why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person?? 4 weeks ago:
It’s true. All the hamster furries run in big wheels to keep the tube pressure up and the packets flowing.
- Comment on Winners of the 2024 Lemmy Anime Awards 4 weeks ago:
Aww, I guess I missed the vote. Would’ve liked to have seen Orb win something, but I’m glad to see Kusuriya and Makeine made it!
Thanks for organising this, it was fun!

It stops badmouthing gainax or it gets in the plugsuit again.
- Comment on Chinese ship linked to severed Baltic Sea cables sets sail 1 month ago:
It’s probably bad to move it while it’s linked to those cables.
- Comment on Che Mangione 1 month ago:
Hypothetically, is there a specific number of billionaires that would have to be executed to have some sort of impact? IMO, even if the rich have just a little incentive not to be the most egregious profiteers, it’ll make some impact.
- Comment on Knee Socks Day 🧦 2 months ago:
It’s even tagged as zettai ryouiki, when most of the examples are absurdly off from the correct ratio. To quote wikipedia:
The ideal zettai ryōiki ratio for the length of the miniskirt, the exposed portion of thigh, and the over-knee part of the socks is 4:1:2.5, with a tolerance of 25%.[3][4][5] The ratio has also been referred to as a golden ratio (黄金比, ōgonhi) among fans.[6]
- Comment on ‘What many of us feel’: why ‘enshittification’ is Macquarie Dictionary’s word of the year 2 months ago:
Word of the year? OK, well, you’re about a few years late, but better late than never I suppose.

Um…
- Comment on Examination you say? What kind? 2 months ago:
Presumably the sign meant to say something along the lines of pelvic, or vaginal examination, or whatever the English medical signage should be, which would have the correct connotation, but instead they only picked a word with the same denotation.
- Comment on "There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless..." Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual, PV 2 months ago:
Oh, this is getting an anime? It was like the one manga I randomly happened to read in the last year. IIRC it was quite the cute Yuri bait, but also not super memorable.
- Comment on DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg News reports 2 months ago:
Google Regulatory Affairs, said the DOJ is pushing a “radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case,” and would harm consumers.
Bullshit. You’ve been slowly pushing the vertical integration angle, and now it’s coming back to bite you. Suck a bag of dicks, google.
- Comment on Examination you say? What kind? 2 months ago:
What a great example of the difference between denotation and connotation.

- Comment on Crunchyroll is Investigating Situation After Voice Actor Claims Company Opened His Mail, Gave Away Contents | ANN 2 months ago:
Yeah, for sure. Regardless of legality, it was pretty clearly unethical.
- Comment on Crunchyroll is Investigating Situation After Voice Actor Claims Company Opened His Mail, Gave Away Contents | ANN 2 months ago:
Legally it might be a bit more complicated than that. The address on the mail would’ve been crunchyroll, and it’s seems like businesses are allowed to open any mail that is addressed (as in having the matching address) to them regardless of whose name is on it.
