This.

I also would like to point out being unable to learn things quickly isn’t the same as being stubborn and incurious about the world. I’d much rather work with someone who is slow on the uptake or unobservant over someone who refuses to engage with new information.

Also, no one is so smart that you can’t learn something from someone who is “dumber” than you.

This isn’t a video game. There is no IQ stat on your character sheet.

GET WOUND

GET ABSOLUTELY SPOOLED YOU FUKIN BOBBIN

Yea, maybe it makes more sense but would that make skunk dark type? The rick paper scissors for the starters wouldn’t work then

poison/fighting (skunk), dark (raccoon) and psychic (possum… playing possum is clearly a psychic move)

The rock paper scissors works (kinda, not really. dark’s immunity to psychic would either make the rival fight a little harder or very easy. Skunk should be poison /fighting for gameplay reasons)

Yea, that’s not very typical I’d like to make that point

I missed your stuff

What happened to the sdf Lemmy?

As a math major I’m concerned about those curly bois near mu/alpha in the background

I recommend reading the article. You’re not wrong but… I mean he has to deal with all that plus not being able to have a legal job, bank account, health insurance, car, apartment…

Plus some sketchy dude he was illegally subletting from directly stole from him. Like, in a direct way.

Hexbear/others has a word for what is featured in the OP image - adventurism. They take a dim view of it. They point out doing violence like this does not end up serving the perpetrator’s political goals. Instead they point out (rightfully) that people need to organize, build up their local community, get to know your neighbors, etc to affect change in the world.

Sure, they joke about it occasionally, they are edgelords, but adventurism doesn’t further their aims and they are direct with posters who aren’t shitposting.

They really don’t have anything to do with this. You even mention this poster is probably right-wing. Its pretty clear that (insert instance you don’t like) isn’t involved if you’re not looking for new evil things the evil tankies did.

Yes, but what I am saying is, everyone here at Lemmy.com.nz.ml has more in common with this lady than some normal person who wouldn’t do sword yoga (lmao) or talk to a reporter about it. I, personally, am deeply cringe and would never talk to a reporter about my weird ass hobbies.

My comment was aimed at the folks posting “well acktually u don’t use swords in yoga try a real martial art 🤓” or that one down voted person talking about karens, for some reason.

ITT: Lemmy nerds, some of whom definitely own swords they bought at renfair, dunk on some lady doing dumb shit with a sword.

y’all live in some glass houses

Oh. I misunderstood. “Learn to swim” didn’t read as a survival thing to me, I assumed it meant “swim quickly for sport” not “avoid drowning”. I took it for granted not everyone knows how to do this.

The down votes are still funny.

I love that two people felt the need to down vote you for this.

They need someone to review and tag the recorded footage to train AI models.

No moment is private when wearing these glasses. I’m glad they haven’t caught on where I live.

I’d like to expand on this thought. Its been bothering me.

Even when we “lose” wars we Americans do not experience the destruction we impart on other nations.

We bombed a school. No american school children will die in this war, but Iranian children already have.

Americans will disapprove of this war but it will only affect them in limited ways, making large protests feel foolish when many are trying to scrape by to make rent, and we live under a dictator.

I don’t know what there is to be done. It makes me sick.

Does that make sense to you? It’s a bit complex, so I can understand if maybe that’s a bit tough to fully comprehend.

Are you attempting to be condescending when you couldn’t figure out whether it was New York city or New York state bringing the suit? How embarrassing for you.

Anyway, what valve is doing is supporting a nascent gambling scene involving 3rd party resales of loot box stuff, and the loot boxes themselves are basically gambling. Its not something that should be normalized. They are profiting off this and there are children involved. Normally I don’t think “save the children” arguments have much weight to them but this is a solved problem: we regulate gambling industries.

Please understand: I use steam. I think its awesome. I’m hyped to play my steam games on Linux. But steam is in the wrong here imo.

And yes, there are bigger evils in the world, but this is still a worthwhile case. [Sentence redacted, privacy]. This shit is gambling and it needs regulation.

NEW YORK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - New York’s attorney general sued Valve

First sentence of the article. The state of New York is suing valve.

Valve has customers in New York so they are allowed to do so, I imagine.

Idk are laws even real anymore?

Mine doesn’t talk at all, did u get the premium model or something? Is there like a manual?

On selling services to law enforcement: I disagree. You would want your E2E encryption platform to be respected and recognized by law enforcement, so they don’t just think “oink oink, only criminals use this service, this guy must be a criminal!”

I recommend this defcon talk if you haven’t watched it (I think its the right one, TOR developer talks about why he teaches federal agencies how to use TOR)

1. Bill Gates doesn’t work for Microsoft anymore.

2. I’m not comfortable giving my money to companies run by pedophiles. I think most people don’t like doing that. This isn’t a court of law - we’re not sending them to prison. You’re allowed to say “where there’s smoke there’s fire” and do something else with your dollars.

This shit is so prevalent its going to be hard, but I can act on the information I do have, so can you.
