Ehh… that depends too. Here in Italy there’s plenty of people that wouldn’t bat an eye at their 10-year old playing CoD and shooting people in the most graphic ways possible, as long as there’s no female nipples in sight.

Hey, the situation isn’t so grim. At a certain point, old people will die and maybe then we’ll be able to elect sensible politicians.

as was always casting white guys as Charlie Chan but making them speak in a fake ‘Chinese guy who talks like white people think Confucious wrote’ way. There was a shit ton of cultural appropriation in Hollywood and there really still is with some cultures.

How is that “cultural appropriation” and not just… racism?

It does kind of have “We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids!” energy to me.

There’s no way they thought the PSN thing would’ve been a well-received update.

Not our fault the entire tech industry keeps engineering new ways to give people trust issues.

These reviews will have a lasting effect on the game even though the drama bubble has now popped.

Steam has a specific thing that appears when you keep playing a lot on a game that you’ve negatively reviewed asking if you want to change it. I think a game is rarely impacted long-term by review bombing for a resolved issue, unless the reviewers actually dropped the game and went on with their lives.

This is why Steam reviews should be taken much more seriously. This was impossible to avoid due to the enormous amount of bad press and devs themselves jumping on the hate train, but I’m betting that a lot of review bombing attempts have been quietly offset by the company just paying people for fake reviews. It’s especially obvious when the game has relatively low reviews for months and months, then suddenly bad stuff happens and along with the justified dump of negative reviews, positive ones also skyrocket (99% of which composed of “good game”, random memes or ascii art).

We are fighting for a better one. All those recent EU regulations are doing exactly that.

I’d love if we could address those issues you’ve listed too, since they’re obviously more important, but it seems really hard until the european left actually wakes up and starts promoting actual candidates.

except of course for the blatant racism against non-western people, the current shift towards neofash politics (meloni etc), the militarization and the impeding economic collapse.

All of which already happen in the US, but worse.

The entire world sucks, can’t we be happy of living in a place that sucks a bit less?

It’s about plates and sql injection.

And (by how I understood it) the point of the I1I1 plate was that it wasn’t easily discernible and the camera couldn’t identify it correctly to link it to the owner, but the police knew who it was nonetheless because it’s always the same guy that already got caught. I might be wrong though, it’s just a funny comic and isn’t probably meant to be looked into that deeply.

“He had it coming,” says Christopher Null, a journalist who has written previously for WIRED about the challenges his last name presents.

This is peak nottheonion material

You also have to “change facts” to have the Bobby Tables xkcd apply here, because this is about plates and not children.

It doesn’t have to apply 100% to be a relevant xkcd, they just posted it because, like op’s pic, it’s about a person trying to be clever by messing with speed cameras, but everyone would know whose fault is it the second time it happens because of how weird the plate is.

Your one obviously applies more, but there’s no need to gatekeep.

A less hypocritical Catholic Church would be nice.

Then we’ll have to wait for the next pope I guess. “Turn the other cheek” isn’t really compatible with victim blaming.

VTuber fandom has the extreme opposites. By just being in the Hololive community I’ve seen people being absolute gems and creating content that everyone loves (Kay Yu, Kanauru, 2ManySnacks)… and on the other side people gatekeeping everything, way too parasocial fans, thirst everywhere and extreme tribalism.

If you stop at top comments/posts it’s usually a great experience, you just have to learn to stop scrolling when the toxicity begins.

If we defederate after the second step of EEE it still won’t save us from the third one.

However, if someone posts “Karl Marx is great” or “Communism makes sense” or “capitalism is bad”, you’ll probably see a defederation before the enter key is hit. (Hexbear).

Uhh… !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world is literally “CAPITALISM BAD” on a constant basis and it’s one of the most upvoted communities on the instance. And I don’t think Marx is the one people actually have an issue with, it’s more all the idolization of Stalin, Putin, Mao, Xi and the rest of the gang.

Yes, I know, the article speaks for itself. It was more of a joke about how it’s “a very bad time to be in Russia, period”.

Its a very bad time to be gay in Russia.

I don’t think not being gay changes much in this statement

But we want to stop those people from starving. And if we ideally lived in a world where no one is starving, emissions would go up astronomically.

Don’t forget he basically said Charlie Hebdo had it coming.

Dude’s still an ass, he’s just a comparatively smaller ass than his predecessors.
