It's a capyeehawbara

Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our memes.

As a kid I went with "douche" which was the style at the time

Actually I am a paleontologist and coincidentally I do have a new discovery. I call it "Largefoot", or it's taxonomically correct name, Largus Footus. I would show my definitive proof but I left it in a pocket of my other sweatpants.

Kids these days can't even read Standard Babylonian 😔

It's no secret that the "i" in "Gilgamesh" stands for "ipad".

But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy "whataboutism" to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn't mean it's not worth criticizing.

As for individualism, it's no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.

I disagree. Nintendo isn't just some company that has legal beef and comparing their shitiness with Blizzard's is like comparing apples to oranges.

Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don't just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people's lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.

I love the representation of millennials like me.

You know, you don't have to obey the laws of gravity. I mean who's going to stop you, the police?

That's like whining that everyone hates Blizzard or Ubisoft because of some hive mind mentality. Could it be that maybe it's just a commonly hated company based off their unethical actions over the last 10+ years?

But actually though, music goes up into the sky and becomes clouds.

This is 100% incorrect. Not in terms of science, but in terms of a qualifier of what a colour is. Just because a colour doesn't exist on the rainbow spectrum, doesn't mean it's not an "actual colour".

What you're referring to is the definition of colour specifically by physics. There are other professional fields and areas of science that use different qualifiers for colour. I work with color everyday and I can with certainty say that purple, pink, rust, teal, and sky blue are all colours.

Kind of like how different fields have different definitions of entropy or different cultures have different names for snow. It's all dependent on the framework you use and ignoring every other framework is wrong.

I don't want to advocate for shoveling money into any company, but if you could sell your steam games it would screw over indie devs in a big way. Many games made by small studies or one person don't have as much content as AAA studies and would be far more prone to a small handful of copies being distributed back and forth on the used market instead of each being a sale that goes to the developer.

Some devs would see a drop in sales as much as 90% and I just don't think it's worth it to shoot the gaming industry in the foot like that.

In the same vein I'm shocked how little reading comprehension people have these days (such as this comment) and how people and how quickly people jump to align any information with their worldview. The post even said "majority" with no indication that the father wasn't around. For example someone that has two siblings, both sisters would fit that category.

And women are a wide spectrum of people with different tastes. The most common thing I've heard is that they don't care as long as they're shorter than their partner. But then of course some are into tall guys, others actually don't care at all, and some prefer the reverse.

I would go as far as saying that women care more about shorter men not having a toxic height complex than they care about actual height.

I'm a simple man. I see "Nestle" and my rage knows no bounds.

On the flip side, I can't imagine being the person arguing for the insurance companies makes them a better or happy person in the long term. Being a devil's henchman, over time it must destroy important parts of them like empathy, trust in people, and their basic human decency. Virtues that are needed now more than ever in society.

Also brand marketing is built to sear their brand into your brain vs. plants who just vibe.

How do people not understand the idea of having a hypothetical discussion of what the funny/ correct way to deal with an inherently unique or silly circumstance?

Like genuinely are people this dumb that that don't understand something this basic?
