Proof that god hates us, we didn’t get explosive fart cannons.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 1 day ago:
They’re seeing prostitutes as a problem because of lust over women, that’s enough context to know it’s problematic.
- Comment on UK wants to weasel out of demand for Apple encryption back door 1 day ago:
What WOULD you consider evidence of them not having backdoors, then?
- Comment on UK wants to weasel out of demand for Apple encryption back door 1 day ago:
I’m not claiming they don’t. I’m pointing out the absurdity of calling somebody out for not doing the impossible.
- Comment on UK wants to weasel out of demand for Apple encryption back door 1 day ago:
That’s because it’s categorically impossible to prove a negative.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M 2 days ago:
Elon, Trump, and the rest of the fucking pantheon weren’t enough to invigorate interest, I don’t who what is.

Future anthropologists would consider Pornhub a fertility ritual.
- Comment on Forget copyright strikes, a retro gaming YouTuber faces possible jail time for reviewing gaming handhelds 4 days ago:
Currently, officials contest that his reviews of ANBERNIC devices like the RG Slide, which often, but not always, ship with microSD cards filled with copyrighted ROMs, are punishable under Article 171 of the Italian Copyright Law. This law, which was originally written in 1941, allows for a maximum punishment of €15,000 (or 30 million Italian Lira, since the law pre-dates the Euro) and three years of jail time.
They’re not even claiming he broke any copyright, just that the device he reviewed is often used in copyright violation. That’s like how the Spanish cops are currently suspecting anybody using the Pixel of being a drug dealer.
And that random not-even-actually-breaking-a-law is enough for them to shut down his channel and threaten his livelihood.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 5 days ago:
If I had a gun I’d likely be in trouble too. And I don’t even need general firearms training for that!
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 1 week ago:
Essentially, if you were a user on his instance he assumed you were there because you wanted his curated version of the fediverse. So his instance block list got treated like his own personal block list.

What stuff in water? Are you referring to drainage?
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 1 week ago:
Guy instance banned a bunch of people simply for speaking up in favor of Luigi, before it got clear how many supporters there were. Admin-wise, some questionable decisions. Still he did a lot of good for Lemmy. Shame to lose him.
- Comment on It’s the little things 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t it evaporate in like 5 seconds, then? Also, drainage would be the easiest thing ever. Don’t even need a slanted floor.
- Comment on ‘Not welcome here’: Malaysia lashes out at ‘Zionist’ US envoy pick Nick Adams 1 week ago:
You’re not much better, you’re perpetuating nonsense stereotypes.
- Comment on I LIKE CORN! 1 week ago:
Atheists and ghosts are not mutually exclusive. They’re just not allowed to worship the ghosts.

You can’t just drop something like that and not post pics…

- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 week ago:
Hopefully! My comment wasn’t aimed at KSP / KSA though, just talking about why IP is valuable
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 1 week ago:
Name recognition sells stuff. Somebody who loved KSP 1 will probably give KSP 3 a go, at least to a greater probability than an unrelated game in the same genre.
- Comment on What if the moon turned into a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
That’s not clickbait, that’s you trying hard to be a pedantic ass.
- Comment on What if the moon turned into a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
Also, the idea of Randall Munroe of XKCD having to resort to clickbait is hilarious. He’s gotta be in the top 10 most famous scientists alive.
- Comment on What if the moon turned into a black hole? 2 weeks ago:
The series is named ‘What If’, not ‘How Could’.

Deep plots are nice, unfortunately they keep getting cut every couple seasons, so nobody wants to get invested
- Comment on Get Your Filthy ChatGPT Away From My Liberal Arts 2 weeks ago:
It’s amazing how bad the quality of the writing is, for an article that’s complaining about ChatGPT.
- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a hot take, it’s fine to dislike popular games for personal reasons. You’re not calling it a horrible game, it just didn’t click for you.
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 2 weeks ago:
Right, the page was made after the paper. I don’t get your point, though. This is all in response to trump being an idiot? I feel like we agree on that point
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 2 weeks ago:
? The page talks about events in June, which means it was written in the past couple of weeks. How is it not part and parcel of current events?
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 2 weeks ago:
Are you claiming that 100% of their defense budget is going to the US? If that’s the case then I’ll agree with you
- Comment on [Opinion] Europe Puts Social Programs on Chopping Block to Appease Trump on NATO Funding 2 weeks ago:
EU lacks production capacity, so they are entirely dependent on foreign powers
How else would they increase local production capacity, though? I’m sure some of the spending is going towards local producers
