  Thinking about the USA right now too much doesn’t lead to any good sleep for me at all right now. Because there’s bad things happening to good people there. I feel awful for the actual decent people that share a country with cruel and dogmatic clowns. People who probably live next door to someone who voted to ensure their rights get taken away and their lives become even more miserable.

  I honestly struggle to come to terms with the fact so many people are still so cruel and backwards. It’s not the stupidity that’s the main problem, it’s the malicious intent and desire to turn everyone into a goose stepping clone. And how easily people are turned into goose stepping clones. Conned by reality stars and drug addicted tech bros, what a joke. I think it’s part stupidity and part the fact that these people really are just malicious assholes, so they could’ve been convinced into this by a talking toilet brush mascot.

  I feel sorry for the intelligent and empathic, and the people who dare to live lives that are true to themselves without dogma who have to live in a country with the stupid and selfish, and the people who want to impose their narrow minded puritanical views onto everyone else with force and cruelty.

  I’ll be sleeping like a baby when the goose stepping clowns are all dying of some easily preventable disease that they could’ve vaccinated for but right now there’s nothing comforting about what’s going on there.

  Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.

  Back then they called everything they didn’t like “satanic” or “evil” anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it “woke” and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.

  Some parts of markdown were made to be intuitive and natural like

  And then other parts of it are just infuriating. Like how if you try to post song lyrics or something, the markdown just mashes every sentence together in one line for some reason. So you have to know the secret code just to make gdamn new lines. I actually pressed enter to go to a new line 5 times in this paragraph but it comes out all jumbled together after posting.

  As far as I’m concerned, I shouldn’t need to know some special formatting just for return to work properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you tell 23 subgenres of equally shitty growls and screams apart, but not see the most Metal basics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reason for deleting my comment: not interested in ‘discussing’ anything with people who go “men and women the same” when there’s literally stats and figures that prove otherwise and the growing ideological divide between men and women is a real concern. If I had to bring up those facts, one of these snowflakes would just report my comments for ‘hate’ or something. Because that’s how these people prefer to do it. Sticking their heads in the ground and going “not all men” out of their backsides, rather than ever acknowledging that there are any problems and working to solve them.

  Wait, so in all these years that Europeans have been making fun of dumb Americans for having a two party system, and for having no real left wing options, the UK has been basically the same?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So did this UK “centre-left” party turn out to be a Trojan horse or what? They’ve dismantled trans rights. They plan on using AI thought police to ‘predict’ future crimes and criminals. And now they want multibillion corporations to have free access to anyone’s work without compensation.

  If I hadn’t looked this political party up on Wikipedia, by this point I would be assuming that they’re a bunch of conservative wankers on Elon Musk’s payroll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Usernames using randomized nonsense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that most of the ‘spam’ comes from official things like websites that you’ve signed up to and didn’t realise would also include dumb fkn emails periodically. And they don’t always do it right away either. I’ve had emails suddenly start arriving from somewhere that I signed up to like a year before.

  Personally, my spam mitigation is to have one email address for signing up to shit with. Then these assholes can email me until they’re blue in the face and I don’t care because the only time I ever visit that inbox is for verification. And then I have another email address for personal use that never gets used because who uses email for personal use these days?

  In conclusion. Email is for signing up to things and collecting trash that I’ll never look at.

  Haha I’ll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he’s gonna think “hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley” and start working on SV again.

  Just FYI I’m not complaining or anything. I think it’s funny and relatable. But I’m not gonna hold my breath for this game until it’s actually out.

  The song “All I Want” was prominently featured in the game Crazy Taxi, I believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You never forget your first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sega Mega Drive for me. We had knock off NES consoles in my country with 100 in 1 cartridges but we just called those “TV games”. Nintendo never bothered with any non first world country back then, so pirates picked up the slack. I don’t think I even knew of the ‘Nintendo’ brand when I was a little kid until I started using the internet and collecting magazines.

  But Sega wasn’t quite as stiff upper lip and exclusive as Nintendo and had no problem with selling their goods to us plebs in the 3rd world. So Sega was the premium brand here and “TV games” were just cheap shit in comparison in my eyes.

  We had a knock off NES when I was a little kid (called a Pegasus) but my first actual legit name brand console was the Sega Mega Drive.

  Wish I still had it. When I was about 13, I went through a really dumb phase for about 1 month total where I decided I was too grown up for this stuff and I sold my Mega Drive and comics for enough money to buy one CD, probably of a band that I don’t even listen to anymore. Regret it to this day.

  And not only do they not use any of their money to improve the world, they actually actively use it to buy up every media platform, prop up right wingers and make as many people suffer as possible. More than they already suffer that is, thanks to a system that allows these pieces of shit to amass enough wealth to last multiple lifetimes while others have to work two jobs and still not earn enough to live without hardship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that “woke” (as it used now by right wing mouth breathers) is a combination of “PC” and “satanic”. Because from what I remember in my childhood, “satanic” was the word of choice for right wingers to use when they didn’t like something. “PC” was used in an insulting way by certain people but it was far more popular at the time to just accuse anything they didn’t like of being devil worship.

  “Woke” is the exact same shit as that. Just repackaged so that edgelord teenagers also think it’s cool to call everything “woke”. And instead of the devil, it’s the LGBTQ+ community, which is probably the same thing to them anyway. But it’s all spear headed by the same fucking people or types of people, along with their legion of useful idiots this time.

  These rich people are so disconnected from the actual reality that the rest of us live in that it’s not funny. And to make matters worse, a lot of these rich people see themselves as visionaries and leaders. Imagine that, blind visionaries. And to make matters even worse than that, a lot of people worship these ‘visionaries’ that can’t even picture what life is like without billions of dollars, as if they have all the answers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Superman's "kryptonite"?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like I’m going to have to get hold of this book. Both Superman and Lois are two of my all time favourites and this sounds great. I’m throw in another random fact. Pretty sure he only got his ability to fly during the running of the Fleischer cartoons. Originally he could “leap tall buildings in a single bound”. Then somewhere along the line in the cartoons, they just found it more convenient if he could actually fly to take on some threats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, every time I see people saying that they like the amount of users now just makes me think “hmmm must be nice that all of your particular niches and tastes are accounted for”. It’s pretty silly to be so anti growth for this place anyway. Even on Reddit, you literally have a choice to take part in the bigger ‘default’ subs or find a smaller one if that suits you. And I like choice.

  This place still has a long way to go IMO. I’m starting to resort to lurking chat / ask style communities more just for something to do around here and even there, it’s not quite as engaging or active as it should be. As a humble user, sometimes I don’t have something particular in mind that I want to see. Sometimes I just want to bed rot and scroll and read people’s stories and discussions, maybe give my two cents if I feel so inclined. And there isn’t really that here yet because once you’ve checked AskLemmy or whatever, you’ve already seen 90% of the content for the next week.

  For what it’s worth, I was also blocked at a time in my saga. And might have even been the blocker once. I don’t think it’s the healthiest kind of relationship to have with someone lol. Especially with strong feelings involved. All that I can say worked in my situation was time apart and maybe a change in mindset since then too.

  But I mean, sometimes people just suck too and are just bullies or bigots. And it’s admirable that you’re worried about her mental state here when you could probably still do with some healing yourself too. If it’s eating you up, I used to find that the best escape from this sort of spiralling out is to lose myself in a complicated RPG.
