It’s sickening, the way we’ve screwed over the Kurds.

I will downvote every iteration of this stupid minions meme, regardless of whether or not it is formatted correctly. I’m sick to death of it. I’m well aware that nobody else gives a shit, and why should they? As long as I’m soapboxing about nonsense, I feel the same way about “____ has entered the chat”

Further bulletins as events warrant.

Yeah, living in Texas, I’ll seize any opportunity to wear a sweater or jacket that stays in the closet during our 10ish months of summer. You just miss out on so much accessorizing when it’s this damn hot all the time!

You mean, to counteract the air conditioner? As a fellow resident of these southern United States, I can’t imagine it would be necessary otherwise.

That’s weird, it accepted “microwave oven” from me just now. My last two questions were:

Is it some kind of oven? 👍

Is it a microwave oven? Yep you got it!

Edit: looks like they implemented a fix for this

It’s very well done! It wasn’t really on my radar, but I got it for free from epic, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ditto Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I think the only things I’ve paid for on the epic store are the dlc from those gems.

Lothar of the Hill People

In the final (unseen) panel, the keeper is fired after killing Jason off, and countless screaming Argonauts.

I mean it’s gotta be well past the “best by” date at this point. Any sensible person would have thrown it out long ago. Otherwise it’ll stink up your fridge something awful.

I don’t disagree in the main, but I’d stipulate that Americans who have traveled extensively tend to be more informed than those who haven’t. So it’s a little more believable in the context of OP being an expatriate, and presumably associating with others of their ilk. Also, this isn’t a quality unique to Americans.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single comment on Lemmy that equates Hamas with Palestine, or is even pro-Hamas.

I don’t disagree with the rest of what you’ve said, but if you haven’t seen these comments it’s solely because your instance has defederated from lemmygrad, hexbear, and others that have openly supported the violence against Israeli civilians. There is no shortage of these comments on Lemmy.

Infesting in your kids’ ears and nesting!

Hamas missiles target military installations, not civilians.

Hey, I agree with most of what you’re saying in this thread, but that seems disingenuous. First of all, Hamas seems to have developed a home-grown rocket manufacturing capability, undoubtedly with the support of the IRGC. While they probably hold some precision-guided munitions in reserve, they’ve yet to demonstrate that. So, at present, any reference to Hamas missiles is moot.

Moreover, Hamas has, in recent days, specifically targeted Israeli civilians. Setting aside any partisan reporting, there is overwhelming evidence that Hamas intentionally murdered hundreds of civilians. That being the case, your imprecation that

Hamas missiles target military installations

seems pretty disingenuous.

Is Bibi the good guy here? Of fucking course not. Aside from widely-reported ‘intelligence failures’, he’s on the record supporting Hamas, in order to prop up his own fascist regime. If anyone’s more guilty than Hamas, it’s fucking Netanyahu.

Give her a break, she doesn’t want a lot.

I like to think of it as unlocking new thought technologies. Like a tech tree in a 4x game. Sometimes you have mental breakthroughs that legitimately open up new options. I recommend getting really stoned and talking to yourself in a mirror. Also, Disco Elysium.

(but we haven’t made any videogames about it)

I tried to find one, but it looks like you’re right. This is the closest I could find, and they seem to be based in Paris.

For a minute I thought the Meme-Makers Guild had joined SAG-AFTRA and the WGA in solidarity.

There is some data supporting this position.

See, the problem is—at least with some games, BG3 being the most recent example for me—that there are relatively few clear upgrades. Most of the time it’s a judgment call, and you’re trading one ability for another that you think will be useful more often. In those situations, I usually feel like I should hold onto the old gear, in case I end up wanting it again. So I end up carting around a fair bit of stuff, especially since I feel compelled to open every damn container in the game.

Nah, all your man-portable shoulder-fired rocket launchers are recoilless; they’re designed to eject gases out the back when you fire, so you don’t have to absorb the momentum. You just want to avoid the backblast area.
