He’s right, but not for the reason he thinks. AAAs continuing to prove indies are the best place to find interesting games.

Bummer :/

If it’s a site you use often, right-click and “block element” is your friend. Might be able to sus out a universal block as well if you dig around the different elements there.

10 million more american voters voted for donald trump this time than did the last time

This absolutely untrue. He got less votes than he did last time.

2020 - 74,223,975

2024 - 74,120,203

I’ve gotten multiple bans here for voting “wrong”. Not to say it’s not dumb on reddit, but Lemmy has it’s issues with disproportionate bans, too.

Ah, ok. I see that now. That sucks.

Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?

I don’t see how it would, but maybe I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. The eligibility of the people in the article did not change. “Only” vs “Every” still includes the same group of people.

What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers. This could potentially make challenging votes of “questionable” voters that much more impactful or difficult to defend against, and maybe make adjusting the existing qualifiers harder (the only one I can really think of is age), but that depends on WI’s amendment process, which I don’t know.

Goal-post yeeting aside (first “off the couch”, now “no time to sleep”?), barring actual factual voter suppression, there’s little-to-no valid excuse in the US to not vote at all. Only 3 states have zero early-voting or vote-by-mail options (for now). The thing with democracy is that everyone shares responsibility to take part. Shirking that responsibility doesn’t absolve anyone of guilt, more so the opposite. Now democracy very well may not be an option again, so no, I’m not going to spend much time empathizing with the people that enabled that.

I didn’t say Gaza, and it doesnt matter why they couldn’t be bothered. Their share remains the same.

Interesting. Thanks!

Hard to see people as allies who are willing to let the world burn because the only other option wasn’t perfect. The campaign fucked up, for sure, but every voter that stayed home shares blame in this.

Depends on who’s in charge. 50%+ of the internet seems to be hosted by amazon and musk rules his little fiefdom. The call to be proactive isn’t unreasonable.

It’s not so much “built in” asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don’t: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

Are there other versions of connect or strands? I don’t mind not playing those, but having alternatives would be nice.

Not everything is about what we’re “required” to do. If op wants to apologize, why try and talk them out of it?

I have enough shit to go around.

Arguing a single point ≠ claiming to be “right all the time”. What’s your next condescending bit of “advice” that’s totally not a poorly disguised character attack?

Apologizing? For what?

Lol. The admonishment for “misusing” gamergate by citing horseshoe theory as if it’s in any way applicable is hilariously on point. Good luck with that “enlightened” centrism.

What does this even mean?
