Did you know that drag is not always sexual? It can be, but it doesn’t have to be.

It’s a literal direct quote from one of his “speeches.”
Yeah, we really don’t notice all the bullshit our parents deal with when we’re kids.
This is a really common experience for a ton of VR gamers. The thing I remember the most is how white text on a black background (usually my phone) made it seem like the text was really 3D and coming out at me. It fades away but I’m sure we’re going to find out some interesting things about the brain from this phenomenon.
I want to push back on the 50% figure. Most Americans don’t even vote. Maybe 50% of “voters” say fuck yeah, but even that isn’t accurate since he didn’t even win the popular vote.
I think it’s easy to get depressed about humanity when you start believing that half of the world is ok with Trump. The reality is that most of the world is NOT happy with him as an option, and even most of America is sick of him. Die hard trumpers are definitely a minority in the US, but they’re very loud and enough rich people boost those voices.
“Sure” to me is fairly neutral, emotionally. If someone invites you to something, usually they’re hoping that you will be excited to go, not just willing to go. If you respond with a neutral-sounding “yes” instead of something more enthusiastic, it makes me wonder if you actually want to go.
Overall, your tone of voice when saying “sure” could communicate that enthusiasm to go, but that doesn’t really work over text, so I usually try to be a lot more enthusiastic over text communication.
Jesus Christ, is Lemmy already at Reddit levels of not-reading-the-article and just assuming the worst? The comments used to be actually ok but here is almost everyone just making snarky comments that clearly didn’t read the article and assuming that this is the only money that Biden has approved.
It literally says it’s part of $50 billion earmarked for climate change related infrastructure.
Sure, complain that we spend way too much on military, but maybe you people should try and be better, examine your biases, and stop being part of the problem.
The world where America has a two party system and the other candidate is openly fascist and awful?
Also… “Every campaign promise broken” is such hyperbole that I have to think that you’re either a troll or just ignorant. Whenever people say stuff like this they never provide examples or they conveniently ignore all the places where a campaign promise WAS kept, or is in the works.

Until we can reform our voting system to something like ranked choice, approval voting, or STAR, we have a two party system with one party generally maintaining the status quo with some nice social progress and the other party actively trying to make people’s lives worse. That second party loves this shit and maybe you should consider why so many of their efforts are about trying to convince people not to vote.
I could see the login part being nice, but I still don’t really see the value in federating chat text. Honestly that would be a negative to me, I don’t really want my chat messages copied and federated out to other servers forever. Similarly, why would I want to view a chatroom through Lemmy? Why wouldn’t I just want to go to that community through it’s app or site or whatever?
It just feels a bit like blockchain all over again. Federation and activitypub are great tools for some purposes but people seem to want to use them for everything.
How would a Discord-like application integrate with Lemmy? Are chat logs federated to posts in Lemmy? Do posts in Lemmy get federated to this other chat thing? Can you just sign into chat with your Lemmy username and that’s it? Is it just a chatroom that’s associated with a community?
I feel like people here are like “everything should be federated” but sometimes I don’t really follow the thought process. I get it with Lemmy and Mastodon, but maybe someone could explain what a Federated Discord looks like.
While it’s not really great that any representative basically gets to do insider trading, it’s frustrating that Pelosi gets most of the heat. It feels very targeted and people complaining about the issue often only complain about her and not the many many other representatives that do the same thing.
The place where it broke down for me was a moment where, as part of the main quest of the game, a character asks Aloy to help with a very emotionally personal request (help figure out what happened to his dead sister), and Aloy starts off with “that’s your war, not mine” and is super reluctant. Then, not 2 minutes later, I talk to a side quest NPC asking for help investigating a stolen heirloom, and Aloy is like “yeah sure, I have time for that and also maybe I could run and get your grocieries and do your dry cleaning and whatever else no problem.”
The world of the first one is 10/10, and maybe the “story” is fine, but the actual writing in the first was awful. The sidequests were especially bad.
Thank you for reminding me of that song and giving me a reason to think more deeply about it. It already was a gorgeous moment in the show but I didn’t dig into it too deeply until your comment. The “looking at your thoughts without judgement” part is the hardest part for me.
It helps, but you can’t do that to talk to people. Some of the shop keepers are surrounded by so much stuff you can pick up, and even being very careful I accidentally triggered at least 4 fights. My wife missed out at talking to Rafael at last light because she accidentally picked up the chess board that he’s playing (he literally just disappears).
I do think BG3 is a very impressive game and deserves a lot of the praise it gets.
That said, it sucks how finicky it is to run away from a fight. There’s way too many fights that just sort of happen with very little explanation as to why they’re attacking you. It’s also waaay too easy to accidentally steal things and trigger fights, especially on controller.
You basically do have to save scum a little, because one accident can lead to an entire town being pissed at you. If the game had better ways to de escalate combat and some better signposting of consequences, it’d be a 10/10 game
I know it has a bit of an intense fan base, but Undertale would definitely fit here.
I pre order from small studios that have a proven track record. Even if it ends up bad, I’m happy to have supported the studio.
Pre ordering AAA games is always a dumb idea though.
Messages is the default texting app. It doesn’t require any sort of login.
For real! This is why a lot of modern TV is hard for me to watch. So many stories about mostly terrible people being awful without any humanity. Most people are good.
