  Didn’t play TLoU, but if you didn’t catch it from the start, the point of The Mandalorian was clearly always about Grogu becoming ‘the Mandalorian’. Just cause it didn’t go the way you expected doesn’t mean nothing happened.

  Making Elizabeth invincible is the only way that game is playable for me. There’s no chance in hell I’d play an entire game that’s one long escort quest where I’m constantly worried about the useless sidekick that I’d rather be without. She may not have added much, but a superficial narrative device is a thousand times better than a crippling gameplay decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And nobody is going to get in trouble for scrolling past a woman with a bikini on at work. If your workplace is that strict, you’re going to be in more trouble for scrolling social media on the clock.

  More graphic content is visible in ads on any major website. The idea that a clothed woman should be censored as if it’s vulgar is excessive in my opinion. Where do we draw the line? Shoulders? Knees? Ankles? I had assumed as a society we had decided it was the actual genitals, but apparently not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And they would be fine with you publicly browsing Lemmy on the clock?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  NFSW is meant to help people view content at work/in public by making it avoidable.

  I agree with this. This is the fundamental point of the tag. I don’t want anyone to lose their job, or suffer undue consequences for happening across something particularly graphic, upsetting, or unlawful.

  If it’s debatable and isn’t tagged, that’s inconsiderate and a request to tag it should be treated with consideration and kindness.

  This is what I don’t agree with. Everything is debatable. I live in the US south, if my coworkers had their way, any image of a drag queen or a pride parade would have to be marked NSFW. And while thankfully this isn’t a problem on Lemmy (yet), that means a sizable portion of the population would be unable to see that content at all without uploading their ID and giving up any semblance of anonymity.

  There’s nothing dangerous, illegal, or upsetting about a woman in a bikini. It’s something any person might see in public at literally any time if you live somewhere warm. And yes, I’m sure there are people who would feel harassed if you waved an image like that in their faces, but I cannot imagine a scenario where someone suffers any professional setback because someone saw them scroll past some clothed tits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  NSFW is cultural shorthand for porn or graphic content. It’s not a literal guideline for what’s acceptable in every single workplace. Should ACAB posts be labeled NSFW because saying that at my workplace in the US south would make a hell of a lot of people uncomfortable?

  And why are you browsing Lemmy at work in full view of passing coworkers? Is it that lax that you can just openly fuck around and your only concern is someone might see a girl in a bikini?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨not today, my dudes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Vent just refers to the general end of the butt. It’s the cloacal aperture that’s the all purpose asshole/penis/vagina. It’s really an all-in-one orifice, quite a time saver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And I think everyone here can agree that any of these subs that are focused on explicit material should absolutely be pressured into setting the sub NSFW.

  The part that has people against the OP is that he’s claiming a girl in a relatively modest bikini should be flagged NSFW, and that a sub for non-explicit anime pics should have to adopt the NSFW label, which seems excessive to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s legally sold to minors, available in grocery stores, hell I’ve seen them sitting on a rack in doctor’s offices.

  NSFW is the terminology we use for actual explicit material, that’s the point. It’s a shorthand. Getting overly literal about how ‘work’ should be applied to the context is like arguing that all FPS games are actually RPGs because you’re ‘playing the role’ of some character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it ‘clearly’ anything? It’s the only example OP provided, what else are we supposed to judge his claims by?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well since you obviously didn’t open the link, it’s a girl in a fully covered bikini. Literally not softcore anything, it’s as racy as sports illustrated.

  Thankfully I already have for the most part. Unfortunately I’m stuck dual booting until I can find a way to run fusion 360 on Mint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If those people are inaccurately spouting ‘facts’ from some article they can barely remember, yeah that’s pretty much exactly the same output.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve made and shared plenty of 3d models for the 3D printing community. People can certainly make it a job, and that’s perfectly reasonable. But, I will never be interested in a community of for-profit model makers. If their goal is to make money off me, it’s not a community, I’m just a customer. The point of the community is to learn and share information, to help people and be helped in return. If that time is ‘work’ for you, don’t do it. Or make content and sell it on YouTube, do what you want, I’m just not interested in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 will soon be able to describe images on your screen using AI — and it'll all be done locally⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only available on Copilot+ PCs

  Oh good, I don’t have to worry about figuring out how to disable this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  None of that gives an explanation of the Force in any way that removes the magical nature of it. Obi-wan just says it’s magic, and the midiclorians are magic microbes that let special people use magic. There’s still no pretense that this is a scientific advancement, just flavors of magic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lossless Scaling Frame Gen gets a Decky Loader Steam Deck plugin but there's drama⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we need more manufactured drama? The dev made a pretty straightforward response clarifying that he didn’t make the plugin and there are some fundamental issues with it. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While that happening, there are also TIE bombers flying past dropping bombs on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quote the script where someone explains the science of how the Force works. A lightsaber is a special magic sword that can only be made by a space wizard using their magic on a special crystal. It’s magic with a futuristic flavor, that doesn’t make it science fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s cheap and looks scary. The Empire controls through fear and perceived power, not actual technological superiority. Stormtroopers primary job is to suppress dissent in civilian populations, they generally aren’t fighting an opposing army.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Magic swords and magic powers are exactly what makes it fantasy. I cannot imagine a worse example to pick for your point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to stop doing that yesterday. That’s literally what this meme is making fun of. The issue isn’t difficulty cleaning, of course it comes off. The issue is putting huge amounts of fat in your drains or septic system that will lead to massive problems down the line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, most families where I live keep a grease jar. You don’t throw it out, bacon fat stays good for months, it’s like a little tub of Crisco but a thousand times better tasting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They both are. Both agreements can be terminated for any reason. Larion’s says nothing that would prevent them from terminating the agreement, it only clarifies that the signer can. There’s no real difference here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you ever cooked bacon? That’s about the only grease I’ve known folks to save. Maybe some from ground beef if you’re cooking up a whole lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A set of principles of behavior. A concept of actions that are acceptable within the social group, and actions that are not.

  Elephants are animals with long memories, complex social structures, and even elaborate mourning rituals. It would not surprise me at all to find they have their own set of rules for being accepted into the herd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I certainly wouldn’t discount the possibility. They unquestionably have empathy. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have spirituality too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All evidence we have demonstrates morality has existed in our species as long as we have existed in groups. This leads me to believe that morality was a catalyst to a unified diverse spirituality that took a very long time to agree on, and we still don’t agree on it.

  See, it’s the same when you swap them around. When both morality and spirituality exist throughout all of written history, how can you make any claim of causality? I think spirituality is a natural extension of morality, as people began to establish collective morals, spirituality and ritual can be used to spread and reinforce ideas.

  And the idea that empathy isn’t inherent is wildly ignorant. Mirror neurons are a fundamental part of our brains, suggesting empathy is taught is like claiming taste is. People are taught what to do with their empathy. Whether to embrace it or ignore it. Hell, look at any of the hundreds of examples of empathy in animals. It’s not even exclusive to vertebrates, much less civilization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.

  Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.

  Honestly I don’t know why I’m bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.
