  If there was a war crime that took place in the latter half of the 20th century he was basically involved in some way.

  I’m honestly considering not paying taxes anymore. Well at least income taxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a bit of an odd one for you; Ephemeral Fantasia. It’s a jrpg for very eclectic tastes. It’s a game in which you’re dealing with time loops. You can think of it as a mix between Groundhog Day and your average jrpg. Little bit like Majora’s Mask but more extreme I’d say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m sorry if I don’t fall for the bullshit language in that statement. Oh it was never meant for the public? Oh it’s weird that it’s being released near the exact same time they’re talking about reducing services and raising prices then isn’t it? Almost like it was released to help justify it. Oh they’re incentivized to make it as accurate as possible? Are they? And presumably sophisticated projections? Presumably?

  Man that’s even less precise then I would expect. Everyone who plays it on Game Pass wouldn’t automatically buy it. That’s ridiculous. That’s absolutely vibes.

  Estimated based on Vibes.

  Long pig.

  Who is joking?

  The show or the comics? Cuz those are two vastly different things.

  Plus all the nazi shit he’d been doing for years before that.

  A children’s cartoon from the late '90s paid more attention to internal consistency and plot than most major motion pictures I’ve seen in the last 10 years

  You wish it was just 5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really whoever talks to him last I swear. You read that so many times through history. About a monarch being easily swayed by the last person they talked to. Always a recipe for disaster. Not that that’s news to anybody I know. It’s just surreal to see it in front of you in real life.

  Why don’t you look it up? At the same time you can go go ahead and look up why the time period we’re talking about was extremely unstable. That same instability largely why Christianity comes about in the first place.

  Buddy you don’t have to keep stanning for somebody who’s just wrong about history.

  Relative stability? Buddy I don’t know where the hell you got that notion from. When was it stable exactly? During the Jewish revolt? That extremely bloody time?

  I know lemmy is titled to the left, so most probable answer is going to be no, managers are our enemy, but hear me out.

  No one says this, it’s perfectly clear why you treat people like shit though. Be better.

  Oh look you lost the point again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finding the optimal way of doing something involves getting it wrong before you get it right. We all know this. What I was talking about was not greenhorn entry-level practice, but the practice of an expert who has already figured that much out. Obviously, you have to learn the right way to do something before you can do it the right way.

  Congratulations that was the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finding? How are you going to find it? Since you’re arguing to never change what you’re doing in practice the very first attempt at practice must be the thing you always repeat right?
