Why are liberals so eager to excuse this sort of stuff because it's wartime? They would never accept it happening in their own country, even if they were at war. I guess because it's 'somewhere else' it doesn't matter to them.
“Tankies wreck everything! They are the reason left unity fails!” yeah righto mate you guys keep enjoying squatting in a street during a riot and thinking that's a win. We'll be over here, you know, building alternatives to the current status quo.
I did not expect this thing to actually be hauled to shore. Kind of thought they were just going to leave it. How much did it cost to pull that thing up?
I'm also very thankful for this community, and fediverse social media in general. I never got on the Twitter train, and liked browsing Reddit for the sort-of classic forum experience. All of this emphasis on federated software has brought me into a social media fold I've hardly experienced otherwise.
Love waking up and catching up on things while I have my morning coffee.
I feel so bad for that lady. I'm also blown away by the speed of modern typists. I thought I was pretty quick with a 140 WPM speed.
Yes, the initial release of Fallout 76 was surprisingly competent in terms of storytelling and worldbuilding.
They did a lot with the premise of no living human beings. It forced them to be creative and resulted in one of the best worlds Bethesda has ever made.
Just like No Man's Sky, the developers lost sight of the initial point of their project. The game is probably a lot better for some, but for me, all of the charm is gone. Fallout 76 wasn't a very tolerable game to begin with, so now that it's a generic GaaS grindy nightmare? No thanks.
I love how tankie comes before nazi in terms of laying out the rules. You guys ever just think that people who believe horseshoe theory forced its legitimacy by inventing a tankie boogieman that supposedly sits opposites the nazis? I do.
This video introduced me to adNauseam as well. I also had no idea the FBI recommends use of an ad blocker.
I really liked it. I'm a big sucker for any episode that ends in some sort of impactful flash forward.
I fuckin' love minecraft maps. I dunno why. It's just cool to see the discovered land and where players have been building.
I could not imagine stanning a company's ability to run ads. Like, I don't care about ads. Worse, I am actively antagonistic towards the concept of ads. I cannot get into the headspace of this poster. What a loser.
Libs love infantilizing entire cultures and peoples. It's the only way their mind can accept that people in countries they consider to be 'bad guys' may actually lead happy and successful lives.
It's an intense form of brainrot, though. They're categorizing potentially millions of people under the same umbrella of 'woefully mislead.' Like, fuck off. Maybe they're happy. Maybe they think you're woefully mislead.
Lemmy is pretty dense to a newcomer, especially one who is used to the centralized web. But that's okay - we don't need Lemmy to replace Reddit. Just like Mastodon, this 'temporary exodus' is only beneficial for this platform.
Even when the drama 'blows over' and Reddit is back to its usual status, we will have gained a huge amount of new users interested in a decentralized web. As long as there are enough users for Lemmy, I think that's okay.
I'm very much the same. Had a short anarchist phase, don't entirely disagree with a lot of the worldview, but feel the situation is too desperate to rely on fantastical situations when there's already existing theory on how to fix the world.
Yeah, Anarchists don't seem to actually want to succeed in anything. They just want to perpetually feel superior about their morals as well as comfortable that nothing will ever change. They want to be cool, contrarian good guys, imagining a world that will only ever exist in books and stories.
They should. Crossing the virtual picket line should be seen as a bad move. Unfortunately, many of these predditors don't care. They want to browse their cool video game community and get the updoots.
All of Reddit's benefits are going to be slowly stripped away. They are under the belief that market saturation is all they need to keep Reddit relevant, but that's not the case.
Maybe in the end, we are wrong and despite the propaganda, there are human rights violations. But our support for the USSR comes from their achievements to better the human condition, and we hope to build on it. There are no human rights violation that inspires our ideology like it does for fascism or Nazism.
Well said, OP. Honestly, I get pretty lost in a lot of the discussions surrounding human rights violations. From my view, every government on Earth is infringing on the rights of one group or another. My respect for the USSR begins and ends with "cool nation changed the world within a single generation, got us into space, and uplifted the livelihoods of its entire population."
