Not sure why you’re being downvoted. In the South this is still a legitimate safety issue. America is a racist shithole

We do not live in the same reality lol

That’s exactly what this is. It’s violence porn for right-wing psychos.

That was a wild read. Just quit playing the game dude lol it’s not that complicated

There’s literally a whole right-wing movement who picked their name because it rhymes with “Civil War Two.”

But sure, calling attention to the very thing the right has been very loudly advocating for since at least 2008 is “predictive programming.”

That’s the part that’s been sticking with me as well.

That, and a creeping dread that 30% percent of the audience is going to view this film as either a masturbatory fantasy or an instructional video, but I imagine that’s probably Garland’s point.

Pretty sure they think it’s just a fancy word for homophobia

I’m an ardent supporter of Israel and their right to defend themselves in these extreme times. This isn’t that.>

Honest question: after this, will you still continue to be? Because they’re not done.

Fellow adult with ADHD here, welcome to the club! What you’re feeling is referred to as “imposter syndrome” and it’s one of the more pesky symptoms of our particular affliction.

Just knowing it’s a symptom of ADHD has been a huge help to me… When those thoughts creep in, I just remind myself how hard I’ve had to work to get here.

I know for a fact that I had to study for some of my licensing exams three or four times longer than some of my coworkers, for example. Those coworkers don’t know that, and I wouldn’t care if they did, but I know how hard I’ve had to work to get where I am and I’m proud of it.

That’s crazy to me, but badass. Interested to check it out.

It looks like a good time

Gonna check out this whole list. Thanks!

Old and out of the loop gamer here - used to love FPS games but quit playing them when Counterstrike was new.

What’s uh… what’s going on? I keep seeing trailers for new FPS games that look like they’re running the original Doom or Rise of the Triad engines. Somebody help me understand.

Sorry, I’m going to fully disagree with you there. There was no “Satan” behind the Satanic Panic; there weren’t hoardes of satanic teens sacrificing animals to Satan and eating babies, or any sort of movement trying to make that happen. It was just a fundie misinformation campaign designed to scare old white people into voting Republican.

The threat of AI-generated and assisted misinformation and disinformation, however, is very real, and has had disastrous effects in the real world. A casual glance at what Cambridge Analytica’s algorithms have done to the US political landscape is all you need to confirm these things are very, very different.

Default UI, just on dark. Might look into photon though.

Nope, I’m on Mobile. Since all I really use lemme for is text posts, links to articles about things, and the occasional star trek meme, there’s just no added value in using a client for me. I have no interest in ad-supported software at all, so if there’s a decent FOSS one I’d maybe try it eventually, but unless there’s something as minimalistic as BaconReader, probably not.

Am I weird for still just using Firefox? I don’t see the need for a standalone client.

you’re breathtaking!

I guess a no-substance shock rocker dude who wears makeup and calls himself Alice would have a take on this subject. Really shitty take though.

You’re not lazy, you’re not stupid, and you’re not a loser. You just have ADHD, and once you figure that out things will get much, much easier. Hang in there.
