Calls grow in Germany to ban far-right AfD
  • A ban is incredibly hard. Not impossible, but hard. And even if, it won't solve the actual problem. The AfD maintained the image of a protest party and to this day people believe this crap. A great way to cut their votes in half would be educating the population so they understand that protest is good but voting for fascist scum is not.

  • The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'
  • Ok. Interesting take. Let’s look at Alan Wake 2. High Budget and pretty good. One of the best games I played in recent years I would say.

    And why did it sell poorly, I hear you ask? Well, maybe it had something to do with the fact that you published it on your Epic Store only, being fully aware that the overwhelming majority of PC players are on Steam (and very lazy when it comes to switching away from it). Also you didn’t produce physical copies for consoles. Download only for an environment known for being fiercely pro physical copy.

    But we all know it’s not about these things. It’s about calming down investors. That’s why you use buzzwords like “metaverse” and shit. I am actually impressed you didn’t ramble about AI.

  • UFO
  • I can’t find it for the live of me. Sorry. Been too long.

  • Putin orders conscription of 133,000 new soldiers to fight on the front line
  • Ah yes, Russian conscripts! Known for such classics as “immediately surrendering because they don’t want to die for nothing in some maniacs war”.

  • Permission now required to take subreddits private
  • Almost certainly this. It’s on par with what Reddit has been doing the last few years.

  • UFO
  • Reminds me of the greatest of all UFO channels I found on YouTube. Guy recorded a military plane landing. Describing “If you look hard enough you see small, disc like objects harassing the plane! There are aliens in broad daylight!” Those “objects” were insects flying in front of his camera.

    Was his channel a single giant shitpost? Maybe.

    Do I respect him more than anyone who tries to lecture me about camera footage quality at night? Absolutely.

    Beautiful bastard.

  • You have been tasked with taking a character from any anime and turning them into a pokemon. What are their types, stats, and attacks they could learn?
  • Guts from Berserk.

    Type: Earth

    Attacks: Bulldoze, Stomping Tantrum, Slash, Bitter Blade, Fury Cutter

  • What's up with hilariouschaos.com?
  • but never defederated from hilariouschaos as far as I know.

    I just checked my filter and I don’t have them blocked. So I guess something glitched out when I went there using the browser? Possibly on my end.

  • Tesla workers in Germany complain about home visits from their bosses
  • The thing is, I never heard any employer actually doing this. I knew they could do it. But until now I thought even the densest boss would shy away from risking a legal enema.

  • Tesla workers in Germany complain about home visits from their bosses
  • Such home visits were not well-received, and bosses were greeted with slammed doors and threats to call the police. But Thierig claimed checking up on sick workers at home was common practice and that they were appealing to "the employees' work ethic."

    Wrong. You are allowed to visit your employee at home when you have a very good reason to believe they are faking it. But you visited 30 employees. You’re doing this shit systematically. Even the union is calling you out for overworking people until they get sick. I hope you keep fucking up like this. Labour courts are usually heavily in favour of employees. When they band together the court will rip you a new one.

  • I always looked forward to such mornings when I was a schoolkid...
  • Breaking: Tech companies worldwide call for immediate end of home office “The end of days is no excuse to ignore back to office order!”

  • Ubisoft workers urged to strike in October over return to office
  • The publisher is also launching an internal review "in light of recent challenges" to identify ways the company can improve how it releases games, engages with its players, and benefits its stakeholders and shareholders.

    We all know you will exclusively go for the last part and start shouting oh no what happun?!

  • Palestine

    Content warning for racism and violence.

    My imagined version of Omelas has a fluctuating pronunciation, deal with it.

    Trump Says He’ll Bring Back ‘Travel Ban’ and Will Ban Refugees From Gaza
  • Last time I checked on those people they claimed Trump would be completely pro Palestinian and everyone who didn’t see this true true was stupid. Didn’t know they jumped right to jUsT As BaD.

  • Co-op campaign mode unlocked
  • We decided to finally play Jumanji. She had to crawl across the living room and almost broke her knee. Now she is pouting with a cool pack while I boil water to make her tea.

    Being single is cool and all. But I never want to go back. I decided this to be my life.

  • What are the best fictional books you’ve ever read?
  • Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It and its sequel Children of Ruin both explore what it means to be a person and makes you feel empathy for “the other”, beings that get more and more alien as the story moves on. Compared to most of what others mention here it is rather new. But it will become a cult classic, I am certain of that.

  • Japanese flying squirrels
  • Wait until you find out about the Siberian Flying Squirrel which is even smaller than the Japanese one.

  • linux or windows?
  • Could you not make me feel miserable out of nowhere? I am a mostly decent person?

  • Greetings fellow Lemmings! What was the stupidest thing you ever did?

    I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.
