The eye brows visible under the hair and the eye style feel pretty anime coded to me tbh

…why is it this meme making me realize that the name is a pun on warui, meaning bad

Yeah, lots of correct observations, but also lots of wrong conclusions. I’d even argue the very first point about culture is very relevant, because japanese culture inherently puts a small bit of breaks on the aspects of capitalism that spiral out of control (they have tons of hypercapitalist issues too, though).

I think it’s correct that having private companies compete has certain advantages in railway infrastructure, if the right framework is given. Imagine someone from here was to start a railway company - they would know about induced demand, about the importance of having frequent service even at times of lower demand to enable rail as primary transport. They wouldn’t have to convince rightoids that spending public money on that is worth it, they could just do it and see the results. In general the good thing about markets is that they enable less planning overhead as everyone focuses on their own thing. Loosely some sort of swarm intelligence.

But none of that will ever work when cars are effectively subsidized and even private rail companies would still be beholden to massive political hurdles for building new lines. Though especially the latter is a real question about tradeoffs of benefit for society vs. individual preference with no single correct answer.

You can even have a child be the abuser. One community I’m in had a case of a 13 year old lying about their age and manipulating MULTIPLE older teenagers. People are just complex.

It can be rather helpful for some things but I’ve yet to see any actual data supporting it being “substantially faster”. To make something that works and is of equal quality, that is.

I mean if you’re just making the same slightly different website for different customers or similarly boilerplate stuff, I’m sure it’s substantial. But that’s not really most of dev.

It’s honestly insane that (even as rarely as it’s relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of “latine”. All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I’m being told that there’s been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I’m trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I’m in. I can just say latine.

Because it is, somehow, an actually very well made game. One of those things where I first just learned about the anime and just thought that sounds dumb, but man the game is actually fun. Also the recent spinoff anime series (cinderella gray) was actually just a very good sports anime.

Not how that works. Not how any of that works.

I skimmed over the full text earlier, it gives reasons for why it was the gravest crime against humanity, and in general did seem like it meant the gravest that ever happened (that we know of at least).

It also mentions (and really is about) reparations which I suspect mightve influenced the abstains even more than the assertion that it was the gravest crime. Easier to weasel yourself out of doing anything/keep reparations low if you can say you never really voted yes on that.

Maybe because it’s an unreleased game, so regardless of dislike for previous iterations you can’t really judge it.

Also there’s a difference between “I wish these games were good” and “I wish I liked these games”. Like no shit you’re going into a thread only interesting to people that like a series and say “the series sucks” completely unprompted, adding nothing of value. Of course you’ll get booed out of the room.

Does the steamdeck use NTFS? That would seem like a very strange decision, and it does explicitly mention steamdeck support.

Yes, and the laws (so far) are exactly that: you input an age, and provide that age to applications that want it. No further identity verification or anything.

I don’t like the law for the precedent but as it stands it’s a harmless, potentially even useful feature.

I doubt it, honestly. It’d likely catch a lot of misinfo, yes, but it would likely also classify any new findings that run counter to previous assumptions as misinfo. LLMs can’t keep up to date. And they still have the same issue that whoever trains them gets to decide what is and isn’t misinfo, which starts being a problem when it’s an ubiquitous social media site.

I’d imagine the crazy neighbour is russia. I think they qualify, and the country is in europe.

What’s funny to me is that russia also borders the US. It’s not a land border, but the gap isn’t exactly huge.

Counterpoint: Being against celebrating someones death if I think their existence was actively harmful to society was never a principle of mine in the first place.

I agree with the sentiment though. The concept of people being principled in general and trying to divorce those principles from their opinions of an individual seems very foreign to most people.

From my knowledge it was just a logistics problem, mass killings are far easier to do then sending millions of people to a faraway country. And probably cheaper.

And yes, this has some grim implications about the current situation in the US.

I have the same issue on connect (started a week or two ago I think), so might not be app specific but something with lemmy itself

There’s also an incredibly mysoginistic culture in many competitive games. Good luck using a mic as a woman playing CS, for example.

Completely agree though, more women in leadership and even just dev is a good thing, but for the most part people don’t really care who made a product, only how much they like it.

It’s likely not that this attitude results from his politics, but that his politics result from the same views that result in this attitude. It’s a narrow world view, perpetuated by propaganda and the american civil religion (not that this is exclusive to the US, but it sure seems prevalent there).

Ignore him best you can, and do what makes you happy. Not sure if there’s a way to convince him to help you save for it, but if he thinks that murica is the greatest country on earth, it seems unlikely he’d ever support you wanting to leave that - temporarily or permanently.
