He does not deserve Babydog.

Great Fairy had two extra years of, uh, bump mapping.

It’s a little salty exaggeration but it was a group mainly of military people. The main guy went to work for the Pentagon years back and scrubbed his internet identity and sold/gave things to a member he trusted.

That member went nuts over covid and BLM. Started things like messaging me that because I wanted to invest in solar energy I was an enslaver of humanity working for China.

Knew the guy since we were teenagers but I just became an internet ‘other’ to him one day. He’s the one that made it a safe space for himself to post 13/50 screeds and shit.

So in this instance, the buddy became the Nazi.

Nope. I never really used Reddit. I haven’t touched Facebook since you needed an .edu email. Never got on any of the other platforms.

Main thing I used to use was just a small forum with a few people I knew for 20+ years until the guy who took over code and server maintenance made it a Nazi safe space.

I guess Nexon wasn’t happy with $6 million because the court found Dark & Darker wasn’t copyright infringement, but was an infringement of ‘trade secrets’.

If I remember 2023 correctly, Nexon decided to cut the game at the end of development and dumpster their work. So the devs left and finished the game on their own. Since Nexon never actually made/finished/released the game they couldn’t claim copyright.

distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring

I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.

If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.

No. I find some of the people who make .ml admins an issue for Lemmy seem to be, or engage in the same behaviors.

For having communities that maximize harassment, usually within the limits of moderation efforts. The latter with malicious community rules policing and reporting, etc, especially.

The idea is to pick targets no one really wants to defend.

(…lolcows they’d be called, which was the style at the time… anyways I’m old.)

It’s a summer job and an after-school gig for a lot of students. Likely they have long rosters of employees who worked a summer job going back however long they kept the digital database.

The entire point of this is that it takes considerably more effort on your end to respond.

What Lemmy threads have you been in for the last two years? The constant refrain in every political thread was about how the Democratic Party, in control of the executive, should not march into genocide, fascism, and hand Trump a second term. Those people got heavy resistance in every thread likewise without fail. There were those who felt a stance on Gaza was hypocritical and that a genocide should not have any place in their politics.

This is the entirely preventable and predictable reality.

In the sense that education is an adversary to the right wing, yes. The right wing treats those things as games. ‘It is their right to play’ as the saying goes.

The concept remained the same for the landowner: the person on their land was a demonstration of their property.

They did a little Juche. Which, depending on your prejudices, can be an important to a self reliant community.

Yes, but often as a result of a long diet with chronic dehydration from a kibble based diet.

The moisture cats consume is from their prey. The blood and juices of rodents and birds hydrate cats.

Canned/wet food cats tend to wind up with thyroid issues instead of kidney. (Well, sorta: there’s evidence the BPAs in cans and mercury from fish as a reason for that.)

I remember a critique of DnD alignments for using ‘neutral’ instead of ‘selfish’ and this grid really proves that argument I think.

grift train

Because that’s how those trains keep going. It isn’t about cash on hand, it is about projecting how much can be acquired.

In the 2002 context? No Child Left Behind was being implemented, which was essentially a foot in the door for privatizating every aspect of education so long as the students could pass standardized test scores. This implemented the conditions of today where public education funds are funneled to private operations while accepting private grants to guide and govern curriculum.

That some very online people kicked up a fuss? Or that some very online people kicked up a fuss about people kicking up a fuss? Or culturally unaware Yanks tried to make the whole world march to their tune?

The third operates just by creating the conditions of the first two.
