No, if I had assumed that, it would be baffling, not funny.
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 2 days ago:
There’s much precedent for that kind of feature in other games. Why should having online in a PD reboot be any harder than Halo, CoD, Fortnite etc?

Kinda funny that a larger team with better tech struggles to recreate what a smaller team with more limited tech did 25 years ago

A table with 11 people, including a nazi, is a table with 11 nazis.
Don’t compare choosing to not sit at that table with the bullshit republicans do.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 4 days ago:
I do hate them, but I’m secure enough that I don’t need to make adversarialism my identity.

Struck a nerve, did they?
- Comment on Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? 1 week ago:
You might need to pry the cylinder the pin goes in in the opposite direction of where it’s trying to trend. E.g., if the two pieces’ cylinders don’t want to line up, you probably need to pry them over so that when the pin is in, they sit flush. This might be counter-intuitive. You might think you need to pry them together, but that will cause them to sit farther apart when the pin is in. Pry them away from each other, just a couple mm, so when the pin is in, they are closer.
- Comment on Insects and Other Animals Have Consciousness, Experts Declare | Quanta Magazine 3 weeks ago:
“Humans and insects both have free will” and “humans and insects both lack free will” are each easier to swallow than “humans have free will but insects don’t.”
- Comment on If you're selected for jury duty (US), should you give up your anonymous social media accounts? 3 weeks ago:
The court has more important things to do than inquire about your internet history, and you’d have to be a moron to bring up the subject.
Why would they ask about social media at all?

Yeesh, that article name font is horrible
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Having a good idea what opinions you’re likely to see doesn’t mean there’s no point to asking. Certain opinions being prevalent is expected in any community. Any time I make a post, I can be pretty sure there will be certain kinds of responses, but there are typically some that surprise me also.
If you find that the community mentality is so entrenched that people are hostile or disparaging, just block the most offensive profiles and move on with your day.
I block quite a few profiles every day. That’s just how it is these days, when charlatans can convince millions of people to vote and vehemently influence against their own self interest.

So the worry is of a surveillance state?
- Comment on How is the US able to instantly stop an attack from Iran but powerless when Israel attacks hospitals? 3 weeks ago:
Alliances like NATO or the EU come with non-aggression stipulations. You can’t engage in warfare with an ally. If that ally happens to be bombing their own people, that would only allow for intervention if it was written into the accords signed by the nations in the alliance (hint: it’s not).
Now, if Israel started bombing Italy, for example, that would not only allow for an intervention; it would require one.

So, it’s the lack of admin rights? Inability to decide your own sitewide TOS, lack of privacy from Discord admins, possibility of getting shut down, that’s what they meant?
(I’m not familiar with those other platforms)

Could you (or someone) elaborate on that first point there?

I know, right? Embarrassing.
- Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating. 4 weeks ago:
Quicker to do it yourself, or find a friend or family member who will listen. I cut my own hair and my son’s.
Back when I liked my hair short, I would use a Wahl clipper with no attachment on the back and sides, and the largest attachment on top. Just adjust that per your needs.
- Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating. 4 weeks ago:
Just sweat. No blood.
- Comment on These mods on their power-trips really need to stop 4 weeks ago:
User loobkoob@kbin did so in their comment. You can simply not use pronouns. Your hypothetical doesn’t include a “just don’t say the thing” option.
- Comment on Tlaib refuses to condemn "Death to America" chants 4 weeks ago:
If you were impartial you would understand that the reporter asking this particular question to a congressperson of color could only be the result of systematic racism.
- Comment on Quadriplegic Quebec man chooses assisted dying after 4-day ER stay leaves horrific bedsore 4 weeks ago:
Is this post here because conservatives love seeing the disabled suffer?
- Comment on Tlaib refuses to condemn "Death to America" chants 4 weeks ago:
Want to know why I don’t block this community, as it’s full of hateful racist trolls?
I don’t block this community because it’s great at showing me who the hateful racist trolls are.
This makes it easier for me to block the hateful racist trolls.
- Comment on Tlaib refuses to condemn "Death to America" chants 4 weeks ago:
Fox news isn’t impartial press.
Elected officials should be willing to put out statements and policy plans somewhere but there is no need to require them to trudge through a swamp of racist heathens to do it.
- Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use? 4 weeks ago:
You’re thinking about it like it’s some abstract future event. It’s not. It’s a very real thing, not limited to the future. There are people who are broke right now, and people have been going broke for a very long time.
There isn’t a point in time where everyone goes broke. People go broke at a rate. If you wait until everyone is broke you’ll be waiting forever.
The thing that’s wrong with the current financial reality is that the rate at which people go broke has increased. This means more homeless people on the streets than there were, say, 25 years ago.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
In what widely-used context is a .04318 difference significant?
Not soup. Not bread.
I don’t think even concrete would suffer noticeably from that difference.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
You can still list an ingredient using one or the other on a recipe. It may be a simple conversion, but 1:1 is still a conversion.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
OP is asking about volume vs weight, not metric volume vs imperial volume.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
Measuring by volume is fewer steps. You fill it up to the line, done. Much easier than guessing, checking the weight, adjusting etc.
I don’t think Americans are the only ones who do it the easier way…
Measuring by weight is great for pros who want to work fast. Most people are not pros.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 4 weeks ago:
Not everyone trudges through mud when they go out. My state has asphalt and concrete most of the places I want to walk.
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 4 weeks ago:
I usually wear slippers in the house. Taking trash out, I keep the slippers on. Driving somewhere? I swap into tennis shoes in the bedroom (I don’t keep any shoes by the front door).
