This comment will make me sound like an idiot, but I’m just coming to believe that all of Musk’s decisions with X were targeted to this very outcome. To be the world’s centre of alt right propaganda. It just makes too much sense now.
But… You are in 196
I think that as a result of the size of reddit, it was unlikely to have engagement when you commented, and it was common to get unkind engagement if it did happen. It’s nice to have a fresh start, but since there’s less of us, it is also a much more intimate experience.
Europe has a different history with heritage and bloodlines of indigenous people so it makes sense it’s not as big of a conversation there.
In Aus, we’re a settlement too, therefore conversations of heritage matter a great deal. Speaking in practical terms, there can be potential benefits to identifying as indigenous in the form of welfare due to the disadvantages indigenous people face.
It’s truly tragic and sad to helplessly watch the whole industry be consolidated by massive company’s. And now we are seeing the results as games have in general become so much less innovative and safe than historically.
What I really like about this one is that literally anyone can use it and it’ll always mean something different
I don’t think it truly matters what phone you use so long as you’re satisfied with it.
I started with a Nokia and migrated to the galaxy s2 then a HTC. After some time I switched over to an iPhone 5 and then spent a couple years with a middle of the road android who’s brand I have not even committed to memory. My current is an iPhone 11 which I’m pleased with.
All this to say, I think there’s weird cultism around the android ecosystem that is, to me, offputting. Wave your flag with pride sure, but no need to poo poo someone else’s yum all the while.
Edit: I just looked at what community I commented in…
Is hygiene a socialist thing?
I believe you’re referring to the way some teenagers will brag about it covertly to their friends. Make no mistake, while on the surface it may appear as you say, that’s just the veneer of confidence they’re wearing that belies deeper inner turmoil. I won’t try to unpack what those turmoils are as they are different for everyone and I speak not as a psychological professional but as a professional educator.
What I encourage you to consider is the level of complexity people are burdened by and that when people with awful turmoil enter into your life, even just for a brief moment, that they should be first met with authentic empathy and care before cynicism as the stakes of treating these subjects with anything less are far too severe.
You’re in for an excellent time!
Persona 3 portable was the portable re-release. However they released it with a lot of extra content. Content that people believe completed the package and made the game even better. As a result, many fans will experience a jarring feeling as the content they like will be very obviously gone. Hard to understand their decision. Maybe they planned to make it DLC. Sneaky buggers.
My car sure isn’t fast, but it’s so damned comfortable and easy to drive. Volkswagen Tiguan is an absolute treat to drive and since it isn’t too big it is suited to city, suburban, rural and cross country with my whole family. Best car I’ve ever had.
I know you made a joke about MacOS, but I am genuinely interested with what issue you have of it.
Truth is USA only, so X has a much broader reach.
Haha guilty as charged. Cool rage by the way. Neato

That’s a thoroughly convincing perspective. I suppose we will never truly know the story for sure behind what OP said, but I would like to give the benefit of the doubt that perhaps these conversations were had respectfully at an appropriate time and place. But also, knowing the bad-faith approach many take when talking about trans rights, it is hard not to lean on the possibility that there is mal-intent.
Thanks for the high quality and good faith comment.
Feels like simply teaching media literacy would do this job. Is that what they mean? I thought that was a given in any English curriculum.
Isn’t brave having its own controversy right now?
Big Remedy fan so picked this up day one thanks to positive reviews. While I enjoy it, it suffers from the same problem I felt from Alan Wake 1: the combat is too hard and not that fun. Looks like I’ll be preferring the easy difficult again. That’s okay, still a confident and strong game so far.
Man so relatable. And I try to make it extra obvious that I’m reading the shirt with raised eyebrows and a smile then make eye contact. A dude copping a look wouldn’t put on such a show.
Excellent road tripping car, wife and I took the Tig from Brisbane down to Sydney and back with the cat along even. Turned out really well, and we fit everything inside perfectly! Only had to fill twice per trip too so economy really isn’t bad.
You nailed it. I joined reddit circa 2011 and what the site has become is just night and day by comparison. It used to feel actually engaging to interact with folks. If I’m understanding the UI correctly, lemmy doesn’t record an overall “karma”. This should discourage farming.
Thanks for the suggestion, I have been using wefwef, now renamed voyager, and while I am appreciating it I cannot move past that it’s a web app.
Good question!
Man, it does sound good!
Replace? Absolutely not. But it will definitely be a viable product alongside.
Since launch I’ve had to download two patches already. I’m playing on ps5 so it’s uncertain whether they’d help you or not, but that’s all to say that you may be able to play sooner than later since they’re offering so much post-release support.
I think we’ve got enough time with the community like this that we can enjoy it while it lasts, and the newfound wisdom to appreciate it before it’s gone. :)
What a frightening perversion of something designed to be innocent, or even helpful.
🥹love you back!
Glad you appreciated my editorialisation haha
Regarding Apple and privacy? It’s well documented. Bing it. If you don’t want to, you didn’t feel like knowing more lol.
It’s fun to see them getting it from all angles, but the users really should just get out of there since it’s obvious nothing is going to significantly change. The loudest and most effective protest of all is to just leave- but people don’t like the effort it takes to change something in your routine like which site you doomscroll through.
