The State? Misinformation

And that’s how you get Republicans saying that Haitians are eating pets in Ohio.

“FREE HAT! HE SHOT THAT BABY IN SELF DEFENSE!”

I’m not sure if people looking for something laid out like Twitter or other microblogging sites would necessarily move to Lemmy, which is more like a forum. The activities on any social media may be largely the same, but presentation matters a lot.

To me, Lemmy and other forum style SM is like going to a bar and finding people to have a conversation, where as Twitter/BlueSky/Mastodon/etc are like standing on a street corner and just yelling random thoughts.

My husky is like this most of the time. Follows me everywhere but just to be in the same room. If she wants cuddles, she will demand them by scratching me and grabbing my hand with her mouth.

So… What’s his job exactly? To tell Trump “that’s not ethical” and be promptly ignored?

If they appeared with guns, wouldn’t the robodogs also be strapped?

Would Wasteland count as cyberpunk? It has nearly all the same tropes, but instead of being in a somewhat functional corpocratic dystopia, the dystopia is because it’s post-apocalyptic.

If not, then the first cyberpunk thing I’ve played is Crusader: No Remorse. That one is definitely cyberpunk.

I no longer believe we are in Idiocracy.

We are, actually, in Mom & Dad Save the World. We’re the Spengoians.

“Pick me up? Huh, ok… Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

“Water? Like from the toilet?”

I read the article if when I open the link, I am not immediately slapped in the face with ads that aren’t blocked by uBlock Origin, an ad block blocker, or a paywall. But I’m not also not reading multiple articles on the same exact topic just because they come from different outlets. 9 times out of 10, they’re exactly the same but with slight variation on verbiage because they all took the same original information from the actual original source and just re-worded it.

They probably continue to fuck them until they are too rotten.

Oh, you meant the other kind of zoo. My bad.

DoF is hit or miss depending on the game, for me. I turn it off in games that have rather poor context sensitivity for what it blurs, but I’m okay with it in games where it only applies to, like, ADS. The former I hate because there are so many times I’m trying to get a good look at something, and it constantly blurs what I’m looking at because it’s too close, or too far, or the cross hair isn’t exactly on the right pixel, etc.

Playing MGS5 again recently and it annoys me that I can’t turn DOF off (at least on PS5) because it works the way I dislike.

“I will always remember you… MEMORIES DELETED.”

Is this really how I find out one of them died?

“You got any food?”

“This is the HR department, if you want food go to the cafeteria.”

“But food is a human resource! 😩”

This is why I just block their fucking “we’re in trouble and need your help” banners. Their income is public knowledge. They don’t actually need help.

How about we work to change how the patent office operates? I think it’s ridiculous you can get a patent for a thing that doesn’t actually fucking exist, among many other really stupid things they approve or deny.

I’d definitely watch Tyson take on all 3 of the Beastie Boys. Especially if the Boys dressed up in their Sabotage costumes.

I think email is basically a joke these days. It’s 99.9% spam. Almost everything I actually want in there are automated account confirmations, which don’t have to even come via email. Even in the few professional situations I’ve had a work email, it was almost never used.

Like, I feel the same way about email now that we all felt about snail mail with the invention of email.

Like… A game made with RPG Maker or which version of RPG Maker is my favorite?

I don’t think I’ve ever actually played anyone else’s… I just made my own with RPG Maker 2 on PS2.
