- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 2 days ago:
The US is a founder. It would be hard to.
It's just best to be the EU and extend membership.

Stop excusing the stupid. People are capable to learn to avoid it and disable it.

Ha, shows you right.
God, people, just get yourselves flash drives or an external drive. Cloud storage is dumb.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 3 days ago:
They tried being a game store at one point, where you bought Steam games through them.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 3 days ago:
Well the developers, like all techbros, have been sweetening up Discord to what it is. Once they find a pretty buyer, they'll sell it for top dollar. That's the real completion cycle of enshittification. Some private firm will have it or someone like Microsoft may have it and do to it like they've done with Skype.
- Comment on Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things 3 days ago:
It's been enshittifying for a while now.
Who the hell would pay $12 for some fancy profile template? Who'd pay $6 just for an animated thing that revolves around your profile picture? Half of that garbage obstructs your profile.
Not even subscribing to their $10 Nitro deal is worth it. Wow, you get to have a poor selection of ways to display your name. Maybe if a server you really love to be in was active and could take advantage of some of the things advertised, probably might be worth it. But a lot of the time, I'm in servers that don't so I don't see a point.
- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 3 days ago:
I remembered being randomly gilded and you got to go into that special subreddit for gilded users. Same deal.

- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 4 days ago:
I haven't bought it because the games I would've wanted to play on the Switch - still would work fine on the Switch. I don't feel the need or see the need to jump to Switch 2. I haven't even gotten a Switch for myself yet but I want one someday for Super Mario RPG.
Nintendo is just, fucking backwards in how they do business these days.

I'm going to say - get over it.
This is not Reddit, where downvoting would actually prevent you from posting.
This is the Fediverse, where, you can keep going. Who gives a fuck?

No. Inkbunny allows art of minors being in sexual content.

Facebook is a data farmer. Unless you've made the request to have your account deleted in 30 days, it's likely that your account is still there.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
I had a moment of deja vu because I swear someone posted something very similar to this situation. Like some dude wanted to get back in touch with someone else because they were saved by them or something in early school. And they tried getting back in touch with them and when they did, that person deleted their account or seemingly blocked them.
Same thing applies here. Some people are just capable of walking away from things and they don't think about it ever again. You need to be considerable with these types.
Also, you explained what they gone through and now have empty eyes? Well, what did you expect? That's what happens when someone goes through a bunch of shitty situations.

I love that mower one that isn't shown in this article. Slap a remote control on it and I can't see anyone getting bored to mow the lawn again.
- Comment on Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree 6 days ago:
And will not have the time to play them all.
People underestimate the numbers of games released. They see 1,353 and may see that as a challenge. But every game you play is going to amass into hours and hours per game. Moreso once you get into the RPG ones.
- Comment on The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet -- Multi-hyphenate 6 days ago:
Yup. They have an AI Art Generator called 'Dream Up' and it does exactly what you think it does.
So you can just make an account now, not caring about actually drawing or rendering anything, but you can just generate art. It's crazy.
- Comment on The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet -- Multi-hyphenate 6 days ago:
They've committed themselves to AI art, that's how dead it is.
I remembered fond memories predating that period though. The chat room community was at once, very large. The chats still in fact exist, though, they've really tucked them away in a corner. Still have friends from there, still have seen so much talent come through there.
But you won't ever tell anymore what AI is and what AI isn't, because they've welcomed AI with open arms for a while. DeviantArt has truly backstabbed so many artists, without a care.
Oh and their logo is stupid as shit, looks more like an X than DA.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 1 week ago:
Right after about 10 minutes of a tutorial that insults you.
"What, you don't know how to play games? Okay, I'll show you how to play this game after trying to educate you how to play the game"

I remembered the Pokemon Stadium one.
These sites were so creative.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 1 week ago:
Because ever since 2016, the Great Societal Meltdown of the World (moreso America), everyone became armchair psychologists, scientists, researchers and therapists. Where, we just toss that bundle of word salad around, play label games and guesstimate who has what. There is no longer a thing such as 'normal' because everyone has to have something with them.
Quite frankly, we've gotten too fucking bored as a species.
- Comment on Sega co-founder David Rosen dies aged 95 1 week ago:
And he was the last man too out of the three founders that helped make Sega.
Also very sad that he died on a holiday such as christmas.

Why so you can embrace their level of surveillance? It's why we didn't want Huawei devices.

- Comment on YSK that Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook, says the company must be dismantled 1 week ago:
Okay? So why hasn't he done anything prior to his exit in 2007? What stopped him from telling Mark or seeing something in Mark that spelled malicious intent from doing the damage he'd later do?
- Comment on YSK that Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook, says the company must be dismantled 1 week ago:
Okay? So why hasn't he done anything while Mark was running away with it all?
