Looks like piracy is fine everyone!

If it’s against your religion to play porn games, fine. Don’t play them.
But fuck off if you think you can tell other people what not to play.

If fascism was a passive philosophy that didn’t hurt anyone then you might have a point. But as you can see recently it’s extremely dangerous and ruins lives.
You may not want to mingle with politics, but it doesn’t have the same view.

“I’ll support fascism as long as it’s convenient for me”

- Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance 3 days ago:
Crime has been dropping for decades, yet news coverage is higher than it’s ever been. The oligarchs know we’re easier to rule if we distrust each other so we don’t work together and figure out who’s actually screwing us over.

Eating them creates compost in the long run anyway, but with the added benefits of also providing protein to hungry poor people without the damage from factory farming livestock.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 4 days ago:
It’s not attacking the girl or suggesting she should stop. She’s doing the right thing. It’s attacking the rich psychopaths ruining the environment is ways that are orders or magnitude greater than my life will ever do.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 4 days ago:
I want to give my money to a dev with a passion and a good idea. I do not want to support a soulless corporation grinding away at an IP to maximize profits for the next quarter.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 4 days ago:
I agree about what’s happening. They’re producing boring games and not learning anything.
But I don’t give a shit. Let them go down in flames. New indie devs an studios are popping up all the time with fresh, unique, and interesting games. I haven’t bought a AAA game in over a decade and I’m not missing a damn thing.

It is grammatically correct to use them. It’s the same rule. We’re just used to using/hearing one but not the others.

Yes. We regularly say “go to [verb]”.
Go to eat
Go to learn
Go to exerciseSaying “go to sleep” is exectly the same.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 week ago:
You’re in a community about technology, clicked on a link about Linux and are now complaining that people are talking about… Linux? And when people got annoyed when you barged into the conversation you called them toxic?
Stop trolling and scroll to the next post. It’s easy.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 week ago:
You’re in Technology@lemmy.world and we’re talking about… technology. Seems fitting.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 week ago:
Especially because the lion’s share of computers are corporate/business machines.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 week ago:
I’ve only ever found the Linux community helpful. I’m not saying there aren’t dicks out there (I saw the one in this thread even) but for the most part people are more than willing to help out.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 week ago:
Okay but I’ve been using Linux for several years and I’ve never had to use the command line. I have used it a couple times, but it was by choice, not necessity.

- Comment on Corporations = communism 1 week ago:
It’s better, but still not great. You’re still limited by having enough money to be able to buy shares. The people with more disposable income have a greater opportunity to benefit, while those with less may not be able to afford it at all.
Even the lowliest employee with the lowest pay should still have an opportunity to benefit from their labour.
- Comment on Corporations = communism 1 week ago:
That’s not true at all. If every worker was a shareholder, then I might agree with you. But shareholders are the rich, who have capital they can invest and gain from. Corporations are set up to only benefit the rich. The average worker gains nothing but their measly wage/salary regardless of how well the company does or how hard they work.
Corporations are not for the benefit of all. They are for the benefit of the rich upper class and derive their wealth from the work of the working class.
- Comment on If you are still confused, here is the simple explanation 1 week ago:
“Then I sacrificed myself to save you from the rules I made up myself. I could’ve just changed the rule, but somehow this convoluted plot line was simpler.”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s a possibility. People need to wake up and realize the seriousness of what’s happening. And they are waking up. I’m just not sure if it’s quick enough.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The regime won’t just fall. It’ll need people to make it fall, and I haven’t seen enough people stepping up to make that happen. Americans are still too passive, thinking that waving signs around one day a few weeks ago will overthrow a fascist. It’s a start, but nowhere near the end.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 1 week ago:
It wouldn’t even be white America. Europeans are all immigrants
- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 2 weeks ago:
I know in my city I’ve seen a “homeless” guy beg for money, with a cardboard sign. Then goes and gets into his sports car and drives off.
Yeah? You’ve seen it? You saw him begging and saw him get in a luxury car and drive away? He parked right beside where he was begging?
I call bullshit.
