  People on the internet all seem to have the most refined and bougie pallet. I’m not going to shout from the rooftops that Olive Garden is amazing or anything. But it’s not terrible food in my experience. And I’ve eaten plenty of authentic Italian. Olive Garden is Nickelback for pasta restaurants. Perfectly serviceable, but the Internet seems to be convinced you will die if you consume it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A terrorist is someone who enacts violence against civilians in order to create political change. Not saying Luigi deserves any of this, but if his goal was to make a point to the world about the mistreatment of patients at the hands of insurance companies in order to push change, then the terrorism charge is accurate.

  What insurance companies do is far worse than terrorism. They harvest the sick, elderly, and injured for their money in order to sate the capitalist urge to increase revenue for the investors. But that isn’t illegal.

  The modern porn industry is much more independent than it used to be. Most creators control and own their content and choose where it gets uploaded initially. In the past, the porn business was absolutely abusive to their stars but I think it’s much less the case these days. Filmmakers have to fight for actors because if they don’t treat them well or pay them their worth, they’ll just post their own content directly to their fans. I’m sure there are still huge negatives but I just don’t think it’s as bad as it once was and I certainly don’t think the porn industry is something to be upset about these days.

  It’s an album cover for sure. Album titled Milf Hunter.

  Every finite range has 2 limits. A bottom limit and a top limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eat lead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But that still doesn’t change the belief that a creator could have created the universe in whatever state it currently exists in. That’s why these arguments never go anywhere with hard core young earth creationists. It’s also not worth the energy arguing with them because they often believe that anyone trying to convince them otherwise is an antichrist trying to lead them astray.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot of stuff everyone has that they don’t need. What’s your point? Are you going to go vegan? because technically you don’t need meat. Are you going to stop driving an automatic transmission? Because you don’t need that. Oh, social media (Lemmy included), you definitely don’t need that.

  You can actually make a change in the registry that completely removes said arbitrary limit. I agree it should go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is prostitution called sometimes world's oldest profession?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Prostitution is not specifically gendered and sex for pleasure’s sake is not specific to men. There could be male or female customers seeking male or female prostitutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Backblaze a reliable provider?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t saying to use Netflix that doesn’t even make sense. I was saying that’s the same price as a Netflix subscription…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Backblaze a reliable provider?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So… $18 a month? That’s a Netflix subscription homie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows 11 pro OOBE > get device online either via WiFi or wired network or bypass via commands > set up for school or work > sign in options > Domain Join. This asks you for local account name and password for a local administrator account and then drops you on the login screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What web services do you subscribe to?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  RAID is not a backup, NAS is not a backup. Obviously there is no reason to backup readily available torrents but it doesn’t sound like you’re backing up at all. Self hosting data integrity is a much harder task than implied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What web services do you subscribe to?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you off-site backup as well? I don’t have the kind of money necessary to self host an on network and an off-site backup of my data…

  Money is always cheap for capitalists. Even the hardest of times is only hard for people without money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The consumer is 90% to blame for the actions of an international corporation who have analyzed and manipulated their target demographic? If it were a relationship you’d be victim blaming. If I hit you for being stupid, is it your fault because you were stupid or is it my fault for thinking hitting you was a solution?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a shame that Firefox is still heavily reliant on Google. It’s not chrome but we really do need some competition in this space that doesn’t feed the monster and is also not safari lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t disagree. I disagree with the idea that it’s 90% the fault of the consumer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird how I said nothing about my personal opinion on gun control and only said that the primary force stopping gun control was arms lobbying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  90% on consumers? I don’t know I’d go that far… If a company is evil but provides a service people still desire, that doesn’t make the evil company being evil the fault of the consumers. Like saying gun control in America is resisted primarily by its citizens when we are well aware that company lobbying is mostly at fault and most citizens are actually for some amount of gun control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's confuse Americans!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They do that in Canada. The US sells milk in plastic jugs or cardboard cartons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tax time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When you have a single income as an employee with no dependants or spouse, your taxes are dead simple. It’s when you have more things to consider that taxes get complex. If you own a small business on the side, have some kids, own a house, a wife, maybe you came into some money from an estate, also you did some contract work on 1099… That’s just normal people types of complex tax stuff. If your business does well, you can expect the adage “more money, more problems” to rear its ugly head.

  Statistics of players being updated and new character models being added. Nothing that couldn’t be done in an update. Honestly most sports games should literally just be games as a service already.
