  • Because American politics is weird and partisan a f.

    Anything even remotely left will get you labelled a Commie or tankie by the right, while anything remotely right will get you labelled a Nazi by the left.

  • Only drunk people apparently like to do karaoke

  • Just do one search for 'guillotine' and you'll find a heapload of comments on Lemmy world and Lemmy.ml

  • It's much worse on Reddit. There is a growing lexicon of words you can't even use in a comment without having a bot swoop in and nuke your post from orbit, all because a snowflake moderator doesn't like reading them.

    I too get your sentiment about Lemmy's double standards. At least Spez was consistent about banning people for calling for the literal murder of billionaires.

    Case in point. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, recently shared his vision of using AI powered mass surveillance to ensure everybody was on their best behaviour. Pretty much everybody on Lemmy called for him to be guillotined, whereas on Reddit such a comment would net you a permanent ban.

  • I used to drive 15 miles each way to work in an old job that I quit in less than three months

    One of my worst commutes was when the floodgates opened and rain pelted down so hard that I couldn't even see where I was going, even with the wipers set to Mach 12.

    Imagine this on a motorway where the speed limit is 70mph...

  • Day-ta. The latter is how Americans pronounce it?

  • It's not bad by any means. Some of the best exploration and puzzle solving in the series but damn the combat sucks.

  • Such a mod does exist, and I'd be shocked if it didn't also remove any scenes of sexual violence.

    An example of what I mean is the Harvestman, which the video doesn't fully explain and for good reason. He not only begins the fight creepily caressing members of the party, but from the third turn onwards his attack becomes a coin flip.

    Fail it, and it's an instant game over, where you're treated to a cutscene where the Harvestman breaks your limbs then fists you to death.

  • Fear and Hunger seemed like an interesting game, until I found out the true horrors of what some of the enemies do to you, and that put me off. If you think getting your head pecked off by the Crow Mauler is bad, what if I told you that rape is a highly recurring theme in that game?

  • Found out about it from r/RedditAlternatives but had always been reluctant to sign up, after watching Voat and Ruqqus become right wing shitholes.

    The API controversy was what caused me and others to flock here.

  • I've heard Iraqi Kurdistan is a nice place to visit and is relatively safe compared to the rest of the country.

  • His dad is King Cold.

    Cooler is his brother, also probably not canon because he's only ever appeared in two movies which aren't considered part of the main continuity.

  • That's Freeza's mom.

  • Yup, he wanted to say it, but 28 day modmail mute and all 🤷‍♂️

  • Actually, the screenshots of the ban messages were found via a Google image search and are not me.

    But yeah, Reddit has a problem with rude power mods swinging their banhammer. It's been documented for years.

  • This is actually a very good and nuanced reply.

    We're going through similar problems in Britain. There are a lot of people from deprived communities that suffered during the seventies (Winter of Discontent, high inflation), had their manufacturing/mining jobs and access to social housing dismantled under Margaret Thatcher during the eighties, were ignored by successive leaders (John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown), then suffered through austerity at the hands of David Cameron.

    Meanwhile, the media had been pushing tonnes of hatred towards immigrants and to nobody's surprise, hate crimes against Muslims and Eastern Europeans have skyrocketed. Things are so bad that we voted to leave the European Union in 2016, voted in a corrupt Tory government that pulled us out of the bloc in 2020, and given the trend of our most recent election, it's becoming increasingly likely that we are going to vote in a far-right government by 2029 or earlier.
