In normal countries, yes regular people do get better medical care when the tech improves. The world isn’t just America.

Ah yes that’s why North Korea was so much worse off than South Korea in the late 40s and then became so much better. Oh wait no, the capitalist south started out worse and is now better than the feudal north.

Is redneck drive to survive just some guys racing around on golf carts?
- Comment on Steam Replay says 2025 releases accounted for 14% of the time we've collectively spent Steamilygamening this year 1 week ago:
If Assetto Corsa Evo 0.4 hadn’t been good I probably would’ve been sitting at less than 1% of my playtime coming from new releases

I live near a funeral home and down the road from a church so I see them pretty often. There’s also a cemetery by my uni that means I see them there too.

Are their normal car parks not safe? At my uni in the UK there’s plenty of people using campers and they don’t even need to hide their setups.

Back when roadman was just starting to become a term I had a friend who started calling himself one, he didn’t like it when I told him it was just another version of a chav
- Comment on YouTube deleting videos documenting Israeli human rights violations 1 month ago:
No fucking shit? Why would anyone think YouTube would let any videos of murder stay up on their service? There are so many legitimate problems but this ain’t one chief
- Comment on No One Wants A $100 GTA 6, Analysts Say 2 months ago:
For once I’m glad that rockstar takes forever to release their games for PC, this way I get to see how everyone reacts to it first then decide if it’s worth it after the hype dies down
- Comment on Assetto Corsa Rally announced for Early Access in November 2 months ago:
This sounds amazing but it also sounds like they’ve got too much on their plate at once, Kunos only release a game every few years and now 2 are going to be in early access at the same time? Maybe this is why the AC Evo early access is struggling so much.
- Comment on UK gov has "no plans to intervene" with payment processors pressuring stores to remove games 2 months ago:
Of course they don’t, this way they can get what they want without putting their own necks on the line
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 months ago:
So Artyom, I’m going to need you to look at these words carefully ok? You did suggest buying a 1tb SSD, I understand that. But you need to realise that when someone needs to store 4tb worth of stuff it won’t fit in a 1tb drive.
Maybe it would be easier if we work this out with apples? If I’m really really hungry and I want to eat 4 apples, and a shop is selling apples for 30p each, or 4 for £1. It would be cheaper to buy a single apple, but it wouldn’t fill me up. If I buy 4 single apples it’s going to cost me £1.20, which is more than buying a pack of 4. Did that help you?
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 months ago:
And I’m pointing out that people who need 4tb can’t just get a 1tb drive and deal with it, you’re the one who needs to learn to read here
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 months ago:
think about what you just said very carefully, they have a 4tb drive and it costs $60 per tb for a new SSD. You’re expecting people to just drop at least $240 to replace their working hard drive just because it could be a little bit faster. You can get a 4tb HDD for less than the cost of a 1tb SSD.
And just so I’m not going to respond to a second comment separately, yes some people do need all that space. It can take multiple days to install modern titles over my connection, so uninstalling them to install something else isn’t really an option.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 months ago:
People who still have working HDDs I suppose. I only upgraded my drives to SSDs when they started dying, if they were still working fine I wouldn’t have considered replacing them yet.
- Comment on Street racers are not criminals 2 months ago:
If you want to race take it to a track. I understand the urge, but if you want to do that stuff go somewhere where you’re supposed to do it instead of endangering others.

- Comment on Brazil's president has signed a ban on selling loot boxes to minors as part of a larger online child safety law 2 months ago:
The UK has challenge 25 laws that mean that you only need to show ID if you look like you’re under 25. So no you don’t always need to provide ID to purchase alcohol, at least not in puritan shitholes.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games update - UK petition to see a debate in Parliament 3 months ago:
At least they actually agreed to debate this one, when the petition against the online safety act hit 5 times the minimum votes to be debated in less than 2 days they refused to even bring it up.

Your point is? No one is forced to listen to your opinions but you aren’t prevented from having them if you run your own instance.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
“Lemmy” can’t ban people, people managing an instance can ban people. And yes it is ok to ban people for breaking the rules of a community or even an instance. If you have a problem with the rules on an instance go and create your own, that’s one of the core reasons Lemmy is federated.

- Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 3 months ago:
everyone seems to be jumping on how shit of an idea this is and that we just need more trees, but the point of this is that they can directly sequester the carbon back into the ground. Yes you can plant a lot of trees but when those trees die and rot away the carbon just ends up straight back in the atmosphere, you need to actually bury it to stop it re-entering the atmosphere again.
- Comment on If they wanted to do a gender-swapped Doctor Who, without it being the absolute pile of dogshit that is the BBC's current attempt, Fern Brady would be an immaculately perfect choice 3 months ago:
Current attempt? You mean the attempt from 5 years ago or the one that isn’t happening for another year?
