Playing a game uses such a ridiculously small amount of electricity compared to the amount that is pumped in through a supercharger, I would honestly be shocked if the difference between playing a game while charging versus not playing while charging was in the minutes.

The violence already happened.

This article is in relation to the pardoning of a man that killed a protester.

@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I didn't say that.

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Yes?
My comment should not be read as "the violence has already begun and ended, and no more will occur" but rather more like "we are past the point at which violence has begun". I was implying that violence is not inevitable, it's already here.

There's a safe bet that if you've put something on the internet, it's been scraped by a bot by now for training. I don't like that, for the record, just saying I'm not surprised at this point. Companies are morally bankrupt

Would is generally used for future events that will occur under only certain conditions.

At least, I think that's the pedantry that they are going for.

It is so bizarre to me that regarding an article about a woman who wants to die because of constant mental anguish, the very first thing you felt was worth saying is "she is really pretty".

If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't entirely know my own point, I just had to comment on it because it stood out as do bizarre to me.

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I truly mean this in good faith: you would honestly rather that she continue suffering?

You shouldn't not vote. Vote for someone else instead. Vote for the person you want to represent you.

Consider this:
Republicans win big this election, including the presidency. Democrats were just very nearly beaten out. They look at who else got votes, and investigate what their platform was. They realize they could co-opt some of those ideas to try and get some of those voters next time. But, if you haven't voted, they have no clue what platform you support or what policies they can adopt to win you over next time.

Swap the parties if it suits you, I'm not trying to make a statement for one versus the other, I'm trying to convince you to vote at all.

That's an impressively cynical take, even for the internet. Think I've had enough for tonight, yeesh.

Seems the page is gone. Either taken down due to backlash, or it was an error. I wouldn't put it past corporate using an AI to spit out a listing and then not even reading it to check for accuracy.

It's not technically untrue, but it's misleading. The headline makes it sound as if those two amendments are specifically missing, when the full picture is that all amendments beyond 10 were omitted.

This feels borderline victim blame-y.

    Honest question, what are you searching for on Google that it's not giving you what you wanted in the top few results? Every time I see Google search come up on kbin/lemmy, I just... don't have the same experiences as the commenters.

    Rebirth was amazing, I hope the PC port is good!

    iAmTheTot ,
    @iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

    I mean, you do you, but for anyone else reading this who is on the fence, I adore the 1997 original (and am in fact replaying it right now), and I loved Rebirth. Solid 9.75/10 game for me, with the only detractions being constant interruptions by Chadley if you're doing a 100% run.

    The gripes about the story being changed and stuff just don't hold up to me. The remakes are actually, by and large, very faithful to the original with a ton of fan service. They have some some new stuff with the remakes that I'm personally enjoying, and keeps me on my toes.

    If I wanted the exact same story, I'd play the original, which, I am lol.

    iAmTheTot ,
    @iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

    My partner was watching me play through Rebirth and commented on the number of mini games, and I said "honestly, that's pretty faithful to the original too" lol

    Yeah there's definitely more, but the original has tons.

    Personally, I don't think that two wrongs cancel out, and I'm not particularly keen on hypocrisy. Just wanted to point out for people who might not know that story has no evidence.

    Youtube Rant from a paying customer

    I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former's app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

    iAmTheTot ,
    @iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

    Happy customer personally, never had these complaints.

    A lot (not all) of workers in the service industry like tipping, actually. They get cash a lot of the time, which they like, and can under report on their taxes. Most people opposed to banning tipping, in my experience, are actually the people receiving the tips.

    iAmTheTot ,
    @iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

    I mean, I don't think they're necessarily the same people, that's why I said not all.

    That is the description of the YouTube video. Unless OP is also the person that uploaded the YT video, OP doesn't have control of that.

    Lmao, wtf? Amazon and Bezos can get fucked, but some of the takes here are just unhinged.

    In the States, teens are getting shot at just for pulling into a driveway to turn around. This shit is a straight up safety measure for all parties involved.

    iAmTheTot ,

    That's certainly one of the takes of all time.

    First, you don't need to say dollar if you use the dollar sign before the number. Second, it was euros, not dollars.

    Curt? Would you have preferred I elaborated more? I feel like that would have been more condescending. I did not answer your question because I did not have an answer for it.

    I've been told I speak to strangers in a very matter of fact kind of way. I don't think it has anything to do with text.

    That's colloquially called sea-lioning, and not what I'm intending to do.

    I think you're the fifth different person (unless you're all alts, hardy-har) to reply to me now and still no one has even tried to explain to me what I'm missing.

    Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio ( www.theverge.com )

    Today, one day after Microsoft announced that it would shut down four of its games studios, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall to discuss the division’s future goals. “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Booty told employees, according to internal remarks shared with The Verge....

    Not everyone who disagrees with your conclusions or world view is arguing in bad faith. I'd say calling someone stupid is arguing in bad faith, personally.

    I know what the polls say. But I can't tell the future. We don't know how his criminal trial will end up going, or how that will affect polling one way or the other.

    You want me to say the Trump will be president of Biden loses, but the honest truth is that I can't know that.

    Nor is it even relevant to the original conversation. Macklemore's song doesn't have a "don't vote" message in it. It has a "I'm not voting for Biden" message to it.

    That's why I said ideally.
