me being told to grow up by another lemmy user is literally 1984 guys

Good thing you can have the right economic politics at the same time as being queer. Young people identifying as LGBT does nothing to detract from their other left-wing views.

Genuinely hard to tell if a joke sometimes

Certainly if the developers of those games have the time and resources to invest into it, they can make an easy mode. Not every studio does though. For games intended to be difficult though, they should be balanced around a difficult normal mode, and that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone can beat it.

I like when games are difficult. I don’t think every game needs to be so easy every gamer can beat it.

bolognese a lazy recipe? takes me like 3 hours sheesh

No worries mate

How does this law favor fast fashion? it seems the opposite

No he didn’t? He said it will have consequences for Ukraine. It’s his job to worry about that.

Look at the Netherlands for a good example then. Private schools aren’t banned but public schools are so good even the princesses go to them. You’re just so used to public schools being underfunded that you think they can’t work. The reason you’d want to ban private schools is because it creates an incentive for the rich and powerful to fix your shitty public schools.

Hexbear is also filled with authoritarians which isn’t very funny but still offensive

You aren’t paying creators, you are paying executives and middlemen.

Happily, not really. I pay for YouTube Premium, but I don’t like the monopoly they have and disagree with a lot of their decisions. I’d rather have a different economic system.

But yeah, I’d be willing to pay for the subscription in that case, even if I end up pirating most everything to get a better service.

Does it? Haven’t seen that and am in the European Union

Like I said, subscriptions barely matter for the artists on those projects. Actors and animators generally get no royalties from streaming.

I wish there was a way to support the production, actors, writers, vfx artists, animators, etc. of good shows adequately while getting the piracy experience. This system really just fucking sucks. Even if you pay exorbitant amounts to streaming services, the people that made the art get jack shit.

Why change the way you read a clock? year/month/day hour:minute:second

You would never read a clock as minute:second:hour, which is analagous to how Americans phrase dates.
