I still find it weird that the word daddy, you know, the word you lovingly use as a child for your father also has a very sexual other use.

I dont know what you guys do or did with your dad when you where little but this is just beyond crazy.

Or does the entire US population has oudipus complex?

In dutch they are literally called sea-hedgehog. (zee-egel)

So, while latin and all is nice, there’s always the dutch way of “doe maar normaal dan doe je gek genoeg”. Which translates into: just behave as regular, that’s more than enough excitement.

Ukraine had lots of military industry after the fall of the Soviet union. From ships to missiles to helicopters to big ass planes.

It’s just that they pissed most of it away.

I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

Ho ho ho…

Ideal is not the same, by any means, as PayPal. Read up.

With ideal you loose your money. Ideal is made from the pov of the bank and the shop selling you stuff. Its almost impossible to claim your money back without the sellers consent.

Tikkie is not the same as PayPal since tikkie only works with EU banks. (and quite possibly at this moment only NL banks) PayPal does not need a bank account. Its also not really a wrapper around ideal but thats another discussion. And mostly a semantic one so lets not go there.

Effe wat meer moeite doen en de kleine lettertjes lezen medenedelander :)

We lost nice people during covid, others like op prevail. It’s not fair.

Wishing someone dead, in public is always a dick move. Don’t you think, op?

(unless we’re talking about Josef Mengele and those kind of proven assholes. Then it’s allright.)

So many games are lost in time due to this.

My favourite game off all time, Homeworld, got remastered years ago. Its fantastic follow-up, cataclysm could not be included in the renaster. The reason? Lost source code. No backups, studio got bought, diveded, merged, shut down and nobody thoight it prudent to safeguard that what they bought; the code and ip.

It happens. Often.

Assholes. Dumb whores. Leeches. Yeah, you really know how to motivate people and get them on-board!

Keep up the good work!

Any (western designed) phone. It doesn’t matter. All your data belongs to us. Them.

Hell no.

Are you u all living in rosy mc Rosewood Santa’s little safe harbour everything is fine and dandy rainbow world? Or are you all lying through your teeth?

Letting someone in your home with clearly visible psychological issues, in your circle of trust, filled with those you hold most dearly and packed with your dearest memories, that place… And then letting someone in you know nothing about?

Hell fucking no.

In the real world letting some rando homeless dude in your home has a 50/50 chance of ending up in crazy town. There is a high probability that you, yours or your stuff get fucked up. I cannot and will not accept those odds. Even a 2% chance of shit happening is a risk I’m unwilling to take when it comes to my kids.

Would I help him? Maybe. It depends on some factors (like can I at that specific time, did I help him out earlier, do I have cash on hand) Would I let him in? No f-ing way.

So real answer: money: maybe, eat & drink: anytime. Clothes: I’ve got some you can have, no problem. Bath and clean: nope. Never.

No words.

Come to think of it maybe 3 sentences:

Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.

Clancy Brown was way more impactfull then Lambert.

The amount of Highlander quotes you still hear to this day are mostly those of The kurgan.

Connery and Brown carried that movie. Lambert just went along for the ride.

Remember our agreement, Murdoch. The boy… Is mine.

The way how Clancy just spits out these one liners, in that growling voice. It’s bloody fantastic. Cavill as mcloud is good and all, but it’s all about who they cast for the Kurgan and Ramirez. And that they don’t fuck the story up too much.

Hi. I’m candy. *Of course you are… *

PC gaming is not here to stay. One day, someone, will finally do a cloud /saas streaming solution which works, which solves the latency and fidelity issues and which will be accepted and trusted by the masses.

Hopefully that will be a Valve solution. Not Nvidia, MS, Google or Sony.

From that moment on the client will not matter anymore and you will just stream it to your device and from there cast it to your big screen.

Hopefully I’m full of shit and this will never happen. But I’m afraid I’m not.

Yeah, you seem a lot smarter. Good for you.

Sigh.

Nazism isn’t the same as fascism. Nazism does care about your ethnicity. Fascism does not.

But whatever.

Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.

Yes, everything you said is factually true. That doesn’t mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: “MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!”

We’re fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can’t comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)

I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.

In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.

More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.

But… Removing the excess sounds nice but isn’t. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.

You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.

Im just a tad disappointed that according to this graphic fascism (which isnt exactly the same as nazism but whatever) is strictly a white issue.

Which, if you look at the world, clearly isn’t the case. Fascism is everywhere.

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.

I miss it daily.

The discussions here always are the same, very leftist. There is only one side. Memes here are always overdone. Comics are always politicized. Everything is “eat the rich”, lhgtbq cant do anything wrong and lets not forget: fuck the police. Eating the rich has been tried before guys, several times. It didn’t work. People need leaders and these leaders will always benefit from it. Learn history before you try to make it. Or is it just jealousy?

Just because youre lhgtbq does not automatically mean you’re right or have been wronged. Surely your identity is very important. As is mine. lets find some middle ground, ok?

Police does fuck up, a lot. Do you have a solution instead of “all cops are evil” or is that just a catchy easy thing to say? And that brings me to the next one:

The depth in discussion and the amount of objective (news) subjects here is lacking. Views are often shallow and if they aren’t they are cast in stone. Lemmy is unfortunately not usable for sharing and consuming knowledge. The depth isn’t there, the communities too small and it always devolves into you’re wrong because i say so. Or, if its IT, the knowledge just isn’t there or worse: people are not willing to share it, adding a you f-ing MS simp because why not. And that brings me, again, to the next:

It’s also often a lot less cordial. Instead of discussing the “room” gets divided in friends and enemies. Name calling is normal. Its a lot darker here.

Most of the times I don’t even check responses on my comments : I know what they say. Yeah buddy, fuck you too.

Anyway, its fine. I use it daily. The use case isn’t the same though. And the experience is very different.

I wouldn’t be here without Sync by the way. Without (stuff like) Sync the hassle would just not be worth it.
