I wish Lemmy had some of the tools I had in Reddit, so I could mark you as "pro-extermination"

When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you’re really not very price sensitive at that point in time
Forgot how evil that was. God, if i was 6 hours in, and they asked me a dollar to reload, i'd uninstall the game, and go play some minecraft or something.

Ok, so, no, you are not Ok. Sorry about that, and hope you get the help you need! I'm never one to kick someone when they are down, so ill give you space, and maybe we can then have a conversation where you are able to keep the conversation on target without throwing non-sequiturs into the conversation!
Come back in 6 months, and we will do this again.

I think there's a big difference between protecting yourself and your people, and killing 40,000 civilians while whatever the hell this is.
Love to see you have eaten the poised, miss-information campaign about the peace protests.
So, yes, Israel is absolutely committing a genocide. I for one am against genocides, Are you? How many civilians are allowed to death while defending yourself?
Its currently nearly 40:1. Is that ok? if so, what about 80:1? 200:1? 400:1? When is enough enough?

I support Jewish people, and the people of Israel. I do not support their ongoing genocide, landgrabs, and invasions.
If you support the genocide of the Palestinian people (note I did not say HAMAS, who can go fuck itself), and Israel seizing their land, then you might be the bad guys.

its amazing how video cards used to drop in price over their life, and now they seem to maintain their price, with the next generation being more expensive.

"well, its your fault for sending them to public school, instead of paying through the nose for private school"
Yea... the USA is screwed.

Or, you know, having a viewpoint of the USA from outside the USA, where the flaws are more obvious and you aren't caught up in the Pro-USA insanity.

Yea, you would have to pay me an INSANE amount of money to move to the USA. Between your increasing facism, lack of basic human services like healthcare, and issues like school shootings... I'm shocked more people aren't fleeing.

I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?
band is not famous, so a little hint that its a steampunk band.
Really pissed off that we are fighting inflation, skimpflation and shrinkflation all at the same time. Buying chocolate granola bars, only to realize after they only "chocolaty" instead really pissed me off!
heyo, im trying to remember the name of a short story i read about three years ago online. A girl was sent by her bible thumping parents in to an... AI controlled prison. the AI explains how this is permanent, but they are studying humans. Its explained how the coffin sized room can simulate any situation, and over time she realizes that she can request drones be sent to real planets, and these drones can have humans forms. Each "prison cell" is either 1 cubic km, or 10 cubic km of support infrastructure to allow them to deliver the perfect VR experience. Managed to refine my search terms a bit, and by using "AI prison" instead of "vr prison" found it! https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/sacrids-pod/

Yea... buying a $35 "early access" title, to have a large amount of the content locked behind a pay wall... that kills any interest in the game for me. ""Assuming you play only regular matches and not solo (2 points per extract), and each round takes you 10 minutes to extract, and you NEVER DIE, it would take you ~30 hours to get 5 shards," sp00kyemperor calculated in a separate thread. "So if you're a god tier player that extracts every single time, it will still take you 30 hours to unlock one class.""
Anyone find the their e-reader struggles with the Secret Projects? The epubs have these massive, beautiful drawings which my (1 year old) e-reader struggles with every time i reach the end of the chapter, and then because they are so large they are overly zoomed in. i'm tempted to run them through something like Libre to see if i can compress the images down to something my ereader can handle.

Just ran into this. Its kinda scary with how good it sounds, its clearly Linus, with a new york accent.
The fact that this has been replicated is amazing!
My garage has an AC, which is never used (its so wasteful to heat and cool the room! prefer just to put on a fan) Thinking that if i install a unit like this, i can break this in to two separate 20 amps circuits for outlets, or use the AC if i feel the need. https://www.amazon.ca/Baomain-Universal.../dp/B08HWM7CMR/ Anyone do something similar?
Hey guys! My friend just finished this mural for our nursery, heavily inspired by the "Merry in Heaven" peice by zzyzzyy. Figured it was too good not to share!
I recently stumbled upon [this list of scifi based on Invasive Species](https://www.tor.com/2023/06/30/five-classic-sf-stories-about-invasive-species/), and one that caught my eye was "The Pollinators of Eden" by John Boyd. Unfortunately, finding a physical copy was a challenge, so I opted for the online version on [Open Library](https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5687483M/The_pollinators_of_Eden). Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Boyd's novel takes readers on a thought-provoking adventure that blends the essence of the 1960s with a futuristic setting in the year 225x. The retro-futurism aspect adds a fun and nostalgic touch to the narrative, creating an interesting backdrop for the story to unfold. However, one aspect that stands out is the unusual emphasis on sexuality throughout the book. The main character, Freda Caron, initially presents herself as a tight-laced, career-driven woman with an aversion to physical contact. However, her character undergoes a rather forced transformation, facilitated by the consumption of multiple martinis, leading to her becoming sexually liberated and even engaging in intimate encounters with an orchid, eventually giving birth to a large seed. This character growth feels contrived and lacks a genuine development, appearing more like a checkbox of sexual encounters rather than a meaningful exploration of her personal journey. The novel also introduces the intriguing theme of the end of the universe, and trying to allow some survival of humanity past this upcoming end, which could have been a fascinating story in its own right. However, it seems to be incorporated primarily to serve as a catalyst for Freda's unusual outcome of giving birth to a seedling, which is portrayed as a positive outcome. This aspect of the narrative feels somewhat forced and detracts from the potential depth that could have been explored in the exploration of the universe's demise. Overall, "The Pollinators of Eden" is an engaging read, particularly if you're seeking a short novel that transports you to a different era. It offers a blend of retro-futurism and thought-provoking ideas, even though the unusual focus on sexuality and the contrived character growth of Freda may be off-putting for some readers. If you're open to unconventional tales and can look past these quirks, you'll find enough intrigue and originality to make the journey worthwhile. If you want something which stands up better to the test of time, I recommend Green Patches by Asimov.
I found this article a gripping read. Can't imagine living in a community so controlled by a group that spreads hate
