  • This happened because people disliked Harris enough to let Trump win. Rest in peace, trans comrades. Rest in peace, West Bank. Rest in peace, Ukraine.
  • While I don't disagree that genocides across the world is something I'm more concerned with than bathroom policies; I am as a transperson still quite concerned with that as well. it's not like both can't be important.

    I also don't see any american politics or establishment that would ever aknowledge US warcrimes, genocide supportion or anything similar - wouldn't any american politician saying america kinda sucks just really lose an election?

    not that we shouldn't abolish the state, MIC and all that shit anyways

  • oh wow, yea seems like he's leading it pretty far

    I'm a european so I don't know about the democrats saying things are rosy - but trump blaming immigrants, gays and deep state for inflation is pretty stupid - it's not like he's going to improve anything?

    I 100% beilive it's also because harris is a woman - somehow america still hasn't had one¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • This happened because people disliked Harris enough to let Trump win. Rest in peace, trans comrades. Rest in peace, West Bank. Rest in peace, Ukraine.
  • Did it happen due to fearmongring? fear of losing the patriarchy fear of losing white supremacy fear of dying in ukraine for some reason??? (I have at least seen several strange comments that people would die from kamala harris sending soldiers to Ukraine? which seems like just a typical russian bot thing, but maybe people beilive it)

    oh yea, and voter supression. It's most likely that kamala won the popular vote, but it's not like america is democratic...

    Look to the french election, if it was the same first past the post two party system there, then the far-right would be in control, instead - the left wing alliance is the biggest party now.

  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • what? whaddya mean? the fact that it exists?

    or the fact that nintendo doesn't want it to "spread" Come here without defending big megacorpo or leave please

  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • they are going after the developers that make it possible to play your emulated game....

    they aren't selling all their games, and never have. ever wanted to play earthbound? you can't legally...

    if you want to blame me for "rehashing arguments" then maybe look where you are first, and then read my comment. this isn't a place for respecting copyright, or corporations fighting against preservation.

    feel free to check out my other comment on this post. where I link to nintendo using pirated roms and selling it back to us.

    point is to stop giving the rich ass company any benefit of doubt.

  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • how did lemmy piracy suddenly turn to defending nintendo...

    nintendo pulls rom sites down, sure - it's their shit (https://www.pcworld.com/article/402404/nintendo-suit-rom-emulation-game-preservation.html)

    Nintendo is using roms from these sites to sell to consumers within their own "ecosystem" (https://www.eurogamer.net/did-nintendo-download-a-mario-rom-and-sell-it-back-to-us)

    Not even close to all of nintendos titles are avaliable on their online stores, and the mini-snes or whatever did not have even close to all their titles.

    point is. Nintendo is NOT preserving their own games. And they sue anyone doing anything like preserving it for the public.

  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • They've sued multiple times emulator developers, even when it's completely legal.

    (it is 100% legal to emulate, and make emulators.)

    Due to the fact that a court case is expensive AF, this usually just kills the emulator group.

    we're mad at nintendo precisely because they do not, themselves preserve games. While they try to sue emulation and game preservers, they also use their ROMs and emulations to sell games to the consumer.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas militants.

    Netanyahu mulls plan to empty northern Gaza of civilians and cut off aid to those left inside

    cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/16537189

    > Netanyahu mulls plan to empty northern Gaza of civilians and cut off aid to those left inside > > > The Generals’ Plan was presented to the parliament last month by a group of retired generals and high-ranking officers, according to publicly available minutes. Since then, officials from the prime minister’s office called seeking more details, according to its chief architect, Giora Eiland, a former head of the National Security Council. > > > Israeli media reported that Netanyahu told a closed parliamentary defense committee session that he was considering the plan. > > > Eiland said the only way to stop Hamas and bring an end to the yearlong war is to prevent its access to aid. > > > “They will either have to surrender or to starve,” Eiland said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to kill every person,” he said. “It will not be necessary. People will not be able to live there (the north). The water will dry up.” > > ... > > > When asked if the evacuation orders in northern Gaza marked the first stages of the “Generals’ Plan,” Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said no. > > > “We have not received a plan like that,” he added. > > > But one official with knowledge of the matter said parts of the plan are already being implemented, without specifying which parts. A second official, who is Israeli, said Netanyahu “had read and studied” the plan, “like many plans that have reached him throughout the war,” but didn’t say whether any of it had been adopted. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, because the plan isn’t supposed to be discussed publicly. > > > On Sunday, Israel launched an offensive against Hamas fighters in the Jabaliya refugee camp north of the city. No trucks of food, water or medicine have entered the north since Sept. 30, according to the U.N. and the website of the Israeli military agency overseeing humanitarian aid crossings.

    https://civilizationchronicles.com/roman-engineering-and-mathematics/ claims that mathmatics were essensial to roman engineering.

    whereas this (only abstract avaliable...) https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-66494-0_25 claim that mathmatics were but an auxillary science? 🤔

    nontheless mathmatics seems to have been quite understood and used by the roman engineers building among other things, aqueducts

    Youtube recommendation

    If you followed the mainstream news for the Iran/Israel escalation, then you might have been terrified about ww3, fearmongering is something they do well.

    I'm here to suggest a quite crazy channel for leftist to follow. military industrial economics, channel Perun.

    Not because MIC good, but because it's a channel that grants a very well versed way to understanding modern conflicts. No, it's not perfect, but it's way better than cnn or some shit

    edit!: it's also one of the reasons I'm less afraid of nuclear escalation in the world!

    waxing facial hair

    I have a lot of facial hair; and I've been trying to properly combat it for a long time now.

    I first got a safety razor, for a close shave - but the dark hairs were very visible and grew out a couple of millimeters by the end of the day.

    I tried laser, but apparently my facial hairs are both light and dark, not to mention also having red pigments - so there weren't much results.

    Then i tried pulling hairs out, one by one - this has the actual results I want, but I have to spend so much time on it, and do it around 3 times a week to even keep it sort of under control.

    I have a epilating machine (pulling hairs out), that work wonders on my legs - but my facial skin hates it, and last time I ripped my upper lip pretty badly

    I'm hoping for permanent hair removal, but I have to wait for my doctor to hopefully send me to a place (electrolysis)

    Does anyone here have any experience with waxing the face or such? Should I give up and live with the dark shades of shaving?
