I suspect the issue is they do resonate with it, badly.

A lifetime of being told this message, that you’re the problem for not being more social.

Even if I’m getting it wrong and I’ve not understood their reaction, I don’t think “calm down, you’re overreacting” is helpful.

Sshhhh.

We don’t want them learning there’s lands beyond their borders. They might travel!

Any plastic in that EV?

Being over 40 and queer… 😃

SWAG!

Pretty sure that’s Jarl Balgruuf

A plot device added to give the player somewhere to conquer / liberate.

A hidden empire that rivals the empire and republic, ruled by a powerful force user and with access to advanced technology.

Fair enough, each to their own!

I didn’t feel it played too different to the originals, much of the filler was fun and the fee is optional, so I loved the game.

I’ve never looked into mods for the first two, except the restoration project, so have no opinion on that point!

That was really a bad move, in hindsight.

Painted themselves into so many corners they’ve never gotten back out of.

Nah, it’s been passed off by the Studio to smaller maintenance company, who are doing some nice stuff with it.

New stories keep getting added, though perhaps they’re not of the same quality as the originals!

SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.

Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.

Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.

Oddly it’s probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.

I live without adverts in my life.

I have no subscription services.

When a service stops being useful I switch.

Aside from my steam library, I own everything I own. I don’t find this difficult. I’m not missing out, I enjoy films, TV, games, friends, work and life generally.

My personal choices have made a massive difference to my experiences, if I compare them to the ones I see people talking about on Lemmy.

Call the companies, yourself and your representative?

I couldn’t get through to any of them 😟

I love it when wild animals yell at me.

Whether it’s that guy at the bus stop who blocks the traffic or the one with the bible and the speaker that renders his words into nonsense noise…

They’re all a part of our ecosystem!

Well, there’s a philosophical point that’s worthy of exploring.

Is human activity, including manipulation, a result of nature or in conflict with it?

Ever seen Orcas wearing salmon hats?

Hierarchical systems are perfectly normal in social systems. Not in the rigid way your manosphere nutters use it, but it’s still a thing!

What a high class lady like your granny used to charge

Can I get that printed on a t-shirt?

It’s a guinea pig!

If we take the idea as true, as it’s presented in the image, why might people do that?

Could it be that people believe that unless they shout and scream, no one will hear them?

Where did they get that idea from, and to what degree is it true that only the loudest voices get heard?
