I’m straight so anything that gets my dick hard is a woman.

Damn those are some harsh passages. Definitely not creative interpretation on that one.

because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week

Implying it wasn’t pre-arranged. Brother probably comes in like “hey baby -tips fedora- I just got back from my dog walking job and now I smell like at least 6 golden retrievers” and the mod’s wife’s panties drop because the brother has a job.

Serious question: is the morality of homosexuality actually brought into question in the old/new testaments, or is this one of those things where people have chosen to interpret some shit creatively? Seen quite a few of those creative takes, like the people claiming the “hot or cold” or “camel through the eye of the needle” bits are actually some obscure references to local conditions rather than actual moral lessons.

Some Lemmy “lefties” are actually just liberals who hate America and want some token reforms of capitalism. If you look at it that way the actions of the extreme/stupid users starts to add up.

Huh I never thought of Burr as a modern Carlin but actually that checks out.

Lemmy is more liberal than left, that’s my problem with it. You will get hate for saying very reasonable opinions just because it goes against certain narratives. Better yet, just spit straight facts and you will still get hate, like this: economic class matters more than race for nearly all aspects of life, and a considerable number of primarily-racial factors would also be solved by eliminating poverty and reducing overall inequality.

Now watch the comments roll in.

Stupidpol describes itself as “Subreddit focused on critiquing capitalism and identity politics from a Marxist perspective” and I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Despite being primarily Marxist, rightoids and libs are allowed to post so long as they flair themselves, and censorship is kept to a minimum (mostly just removal of anything that gets Reddit admins involved).

It’s about the same as incel shit really. You’d think it would get banned like incel stuff is, but it’s tolerated because men are not a protected class.

I did not understand the hype for this game at all. I liked the first one better to be honest.

I mean perhaps the biggest thing going for ED is that it actually works. I’ve got a pile of complaints about the game but Star Citizen is hopelessly busted while ED generally works quite well.

Selection bias. The nature of Reddit and its past as a liberal free speech zone lends (lended?) itself to particular traits. Reddit’s average user is some combination of the following:

• male
• in a STEM job or training/educated for STEM work
• grew up middle-class
• downwardly mobile
• has ADHD or autism

Altogether this does actually mean IQ probably trends a bit higher on average. That doesn’t mean shit for the quality of your arguments if you don’t critically examine your beliefs though, and anyone spouting American media talking points is not examining anything.

Nah this game got covered by many of the indie gaming channels, the game dev channels, was all over Reddit and even 4chan… It was received pretty well. The difficulty filters out some people but besides that it’s pretty good.

Absolute stealth hit. The last table tennis game… Man that hits hard.

I watched it expecting the same campy tropes from other fantasy/sci-fi movies of the era and what I got was a movie deeper than it lets on. That score too, amazing.

Gay men are men too?

Just ask them how long 7 inches is. Prepare for an eye-opening experience.

A strawman is when you take someone else’s argument and you represent it as weaker than it really is. By definition their statement was not a strawman.

It also does not appear to be an implication that OSS is a Mossad backdoor, only that the possibility is present. I presume this is based on the fact that Mossad has done this kind of supply-chain attack before (see the Iranian nuclear program, or the Hezbollah pagers) and that there have been multiple recent controversies about code inserted into OSS packages.

OSS is still the way to go, but we need better governance and best practices in a lot of organizations to make that happen. In fact if the FOSS community would help provide training and certification in this realm, it would help deal with many of these concerns.

I know someone who retired early because our ticketing system changed.

One of my friends dipped into “emailing his friend’s bosses about the conspiracy against him” levels of schizophrenia during the COVID lockdowns and at this point I don’t think he’s coming back.

Can’t help but wonder how many people we alienate from their loved ones because we refuse to take mental health seriously.
