  Now I’m sitting here trying not to laugh, thinking about the old adage: how do you know if the Pope is venomous or poisonous?

  If you bite the Pope and you die, he’s poisonous. If the Pope bites you and you die, he’s venomous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Your own comment above basically supports the definition of tankie. Specifically, this:

  The term is also used to describe people who endorse, defend, or deny the crimes committed by communist leaders such as Vladimir Lenin,[9][10] Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Enver Hoxha, Pol Pot, and Kim il-Sung. In modern times, the term is used across the political spectrum to describe those who have a bias in favor of illiberal or authoritarian states with a socialist legacy or a nominally left-wing government, such as the Republic of Belarus, People’s Republic of China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Republic of Nicaragua, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Serbia, the Syrian Arab Republic, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Additionally, tankies have a tendency to support non-socialist states with no socialist legacy if they are opposed to the United States and the Western world in general, regardless of their ideology,[4][11] such as the Islamic Republic of Iran. (emphasis mine)

  I would take issue with the single word ‘fascist’ that @figaro@lemdro.id is using, as the government doesn’t need to be full-on fascist to it qualify for tankies to defend it. It only needs to be illiberal with a socialist legacy or nominally left-leaning government. So the definition is more broad than what figaro defines. But all the elements of Figaro’s defintion are literally there in your own linked Wikipedia article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point of cargo ships?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! AND you need to have the cargo space to actually haul the object! I had a 3300kg probe or something. But no ship with large enough space yet! So it sits on my board, undoable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone Else Having a Blast?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This might be a bug….but you can use Econohaul to add stuff to storage, then switch to another ship and it all just stays in storage. You can’t ADD anything until you switch back. But there doesn’t seem to be any downside otherwise!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we talk about the guns?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if that’s something that MS asked Bethesda to tone down for some type of non-US audience reasons. Bethesda has always loved their icky bits in the games (looking at you various Cannabalism related perks!). I mean we can traffic in organs in Starfield! So some ick is still there. But maybe someone considers the head-popping and body blowing up stuff to be just a bit too far though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Difficulty bugged or am I bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You aren’t crazy. There are some fairly normal enemies and then there are definite bullet sponges. If they have a red bar under the white bar, they’re going to have ‘segments’ of health. You shoot one white bar off and you lose one segment of red bar. Most I’ve experienced so far have three segments to their red bar. And bullets definitely do less to those enemies too.

  Or, they have the greatest, most technologically advanced space navy, with the Mariner Valley full of Chinese-Texans who all speak with the Texan drawl.
