Step 1: Be Woman

Step 2: Be of mixed ethnic background

Step 3: Be successful and famous

Step 4: Live in time of intense racial and political antagonization

For those looking for alternatives, there are a number Firefox forks such as Mullvad and Librewolf and then there’s Chromium and it’s various forks (just avoid Edge and, now, sadly, Brave)

Console: Sega Dreamcast

PC: Any IBM beige box from the 90s

I’m going to expect a lot of dislikes for this one…

Neutering/Spaying is animal abuse.

After fully switching to Linux in 2022, I’ve pretty much ditched everything and anything mainstream; not just social media.

I’m bookmarking this so that when I’m feeling depressed about my lack of creativity I’ll just look at this list.

Henry would’ve been proud!

I can see the angle you’re coming from. I enjoyed Fall of Hyperion but not nearly as much as the first book. As for Dan Simmons himself, I’ve only vaguely heard about his political views. I compare it to Frank Miller’s legacy in that they’re both creatives who have a back catalog of celebrated works that is juxtaposed by their reactionary viewpoints.

It was the only one I read but I say it anyways: The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

If audiobooks are considered reading then I will include I, Robot, Foundation and Empire, amd Herbert West - Reanimator.

So, I did some very basic reverse image searching with Google Lens and, as others of pointed out, it seems to have originated from Facebook. More specifically, it originates from some kind of copypasta first posted on Sept. 15th of this year by user Hashem Al-Ghaili. This same copypasta later appears in two other places: in Turkish (twice) and again on someone’s Linkedin post. Since many (myself included) suspected this to be AI generated, I ran this through AI image detector sightengine. Now, AI detection tools are very flawed so I took the results with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, It came back with a 99% chance of it being AI generated with Midjourney being the most likely candidate for its creation.

I find it strange how racist and ultra-nationalists ideas have taken root in Russia when its predecessor (USSR) defeated the Nazis and prided itself in its ethnic diversity. Compare that to the US where its long history of racism since the beginning has allowed the formation of racial and ethnic tensions.

Bookmarking for inspiration. This is definitely going to be a future project.

I’ve been playing Outer Worlds lately. It’s made by Obsidian so it’s gameplay is similar to F:NV.

My thief archer build in Morrowind and Skyrim lead me to a life of thievery and now I’m serving a life sentence at maxium security prison. Very sound logic.

Your husband is an absolute legend.

Nevermind @slazer2au@lemmy.world answered it.

I going to look like a dumbass for asking this but you’re not talking about vscodium, are you?

X-Men vs Street Fighter. It’s included in the Marvel vs Capcom collection that came out this year but I recommend getting your hands on the original arcade ROM and play it via MAME.

And to think that threating litigation to silence critique and save face was just an American phenomenon.

Bookmarking for next Thanksgiving.
