Reddit was down. I also occasionally come back when I’ve burned through all the articles on Reddit to see if anything different pops up here, and then I see shit like Vegans nutritionally starving their pets and people getting their comments removed for not capitalizing someone pronouns correctly when I come back. Sometimes theres extra shit to read here, so I’ll probably keep coming back when I’ve drained reddit of content, but this shit reminds me why I’ve decided to deal with Reddits BS first before Lemmy’s

Yep, this shit is part of why I gave up and went back to reddit. The extreme stances here are too fucking normal

I hope you’re right with the Tankies, and yeah, I’m not really going to let anyone take an identity/descriptor from me with my own autism, even if the people attempting to do so are also on the spectrum. I never noticed the ratio difference of Americans to Non Americans, although I guess as a Canadian I’m not sure where I fall on that ratio xD

I dunno if I have much further to add in this conversation, I mostly just wanted to respond to show I’ve read and appreciated your own input!

On the autist point, is a bit of a side tangent, but I hate that they’ve decided I cant fucking use my childhood diagnosis anymore because the guy who termed it was a Nazi, even though before this decision the name Asperger NEVER made me think of the Nazi, and only made me think of Autism. The DSM retired that diagnosis retired that diagnosis anyways in favour of making Autism a spectrum, so even if the asshats don’t shit on me for continuing to use a term that was a useful descriptor for me since childhood, its still going to fade over time.

I wouldnt be surprised if conversations on reddit have gotten better if half the people who irritated me on Lemmy used to be redditors since the modpocalypse. I’m still having trouble feeling like I’m rewarding spez for his actions if I end up back in reddit though.

And finally on the conservative point, at least Conservatives are honest about hating gay people and minorities. The Tankies here screetch the loudest about slurs and protecting minorities and lgbtq people, but they support regimes that dont blink twice while crushing those same populations

Yeah I keep fluctuating between leaving lemmy and coming back due to its love for extreme stances, its the same type of vibe/reason I never really touched Twitter or Tumblr, but unfortunately reddit is now… reddit

How high are you?

Tbf, Stein’s Gate grabbed a LOT of real world shannanigans to weave into their Science Fantasy plot

This is my stance to people who have the Epic Games Launcher for the free games… Fuckin Black Flag is cleaner ethically than Epic Games

Maybe find another instance to regurgitate your bulshit in

Tbh, luddite fits really well considering they only became associated with being Anti Tech once they started burning down Lace making factories since the advent of the Lace machine started taking high paying craftsmanship jobs away because a machine could produce what they did for cheap. Which, is as close to a perfect match as you’re going to get in the real world

Fuck has many meanings, “That fucking virgin” is an acceptable sentence to make that wouldn’t be considered a contradiction

Its not because you’re a linux main that this doesnt make sense, its because windiws has soent the last 10 years enshittifying in order to try and take Apple’s walled garden. Once my desktop dies, I’m never going back to Windows, and tbh, if I scrounge up enough to buy a second tower before that, I’m installing linux on that tower, transferring my files over, and then installing linux on my current tower as well

I’ve definitely seen the extreme end of the left side of the spectrum here, havent seen as much of the right here though, much less the extreme variant… and I’m glad about that

TBH it takes a LOT of blocking to finally start seeing the Tankies less. Threw me for a loop when I first started interacting with them, and I still find instances that I need to fully block in order to not have to deal with them

I have had ONE non online competetive game not immediately and easily boot up on my steam deck

Thats fair tbh, while not all pirates are selfish dicks, none of us can claim to be saints, so your reasoning is fair enough to me

I mean, yeah sure, if you wanna be the dickhead kind of pirate I guess.

I know this is the pirate sub, but it seems kinda rough to be undermining GOG since their one of the few that releases DRM free shit. Dont we have torrents? Why do we specifically need to fuck with GOG?

Everytime I see this meme it annoys me. Mac is FAR WORSE than Windows, and why Windows has gotten more shit overtime is in large part because they’re trying to get a piece of Apples Pie

Sure Windows gives you warning, but after a while it FORCES you to install, even if for whatever reason that new branch bricks your computer. I had a good 6 months of that where every time my computer got shut off, it would force the update and fail like 40 times before it finally let me revert and use my computer. There was no way to tell it to STOP UPDATING
