Well if you want anything to get better you need to find common ground with those people and have a united front against facism. Even if you don’t like or agree with them.

The reality is, some people struggled to vote for Kamala, not because she is just as bad (she is obviously not) or because they were paid bad actor agents of the far right, but simply because, despite being the better of two options, she just wasn’t left enough to represent their views.

I’m not saying this is the correct approach or they did the right thing here. But the varying degrees of left constantly arguing with each other creates more and more room for far right fascists to trample us. You don’t have to agree with them, but you do need to organize with them to make any real change.

It’s that, or yell into the Lemmy void ineffectually at people who are closer aligned to you than the actual problem.

The left endlessly quibbling with each other with definitely not get us there or anywhere. Your beef is with the idiotic trump voters, not people further left than Kamala

Is this for video games or romantic advice?

Moscows=most cows

I have a potentially really dumb question: how is mastodon different from the assorted lemmys and such? I originally thought mastodon was just another fediverse instance but now that I think about it I don’t think I’ve seen posts and content from others on a mastodon instance, either on .world or where I am now at .ee. is this just due to defederation with mastodon or is mastodon different in some way that I am missing?

That might SOUND like 5x protein, but I am fairly confident there is a pretty minimal amount of protein at all. The beef and cheese sauce are almost entirely fat, cheese is low amount and high moisture, sour cream never had protein to begin with.

Maybe this is overly wishful thinking, but I do think there is enough data analysis on how people vote that it could be real: if a large body of people with a history of voting blue vote in this election and vote blue down the ballot but omit the president, or have a third party for the president instead, then that might actually send a message to the Democrats that they are fucking up their candidate selection badly, and make them at least marginally more likely to cater to the left when choosing candidates in the future.

That said I am not sure I can condone this tactic in good faith in this particular election given the alternative, but part of me feels like the right will perpetually have more and more abhorrent alternatives and there needs to be a line somewhere, and if it’s not at genocide then I honestly don’t know where it is.

No matter how you look at it all the options are bad. At least Tim being slightly left of Kamala shows Democrats slightly more willing to negotiate with disenfranchised left voters than chasing nebulous farther right independents. Not left enough to condemn genocide though so a very minor distinction

Love all the monkey Island games, my sister and I played 3 together at the same pc when we were kids and it is a fond memory, have since played all the others.

I remember reading a write up by the creator essentially saying that each game sort of reflected where the small team of developers were in their life at the time of each game, from the first game being young and ambitious to third being marriage themed and the most recent having child raising themes. I am paraphrasing badly but was neat insight either way.

My only gripe about the game is that whenever I inevitably use lines from the game in my real life it’s exceedingly rare anyone has any idea what I am talking about

Probably not but do we really need more of them?

You can just never connect your TV to the Internet or make it forget all networks, that works pretty well if you have a console or PC hooked into it that is doing the actual content for it

I feel like this same subtlety is also what makes it really hard to meaningfully track if an ad is actually effective or not. How do they know if you bought it cause ads or cause you would have anyway? Sometimes I wonder if ads arent way way less effective than companies think they are

I’m not sure how this would work long term or if it would be any less annoying, but right now some content creators have ads within their content, like not YouTube ads but them just verbally promoting it. This could occur on peertube and is an option to still have a funding steam. It also allows creators to only have ads for things they are willing to support on their content. But it’s also harder to skip and a bit annoying as a viewer so not sure if this has long term potential

It a fairly low intensity PC game, steam has it, gog does too I think

My somewhat controversial suggestion is outward. Low graphical intensity PC game, very open world, and some incredibly unique and polarizing design choices. If your favorite part of breath of the wild was world exploration and korok finding, you may love it! If you like quality of life features though, maybe not.

Things like, you have a world map but no “you are here” marker so need to place yourself with landmarks. You need to drop your backpack to fight effectively and remember where you dropped it, the magic system is based on insomnia with the longer since you slept the more mana you have until you push it too far and just collapse. Really really weird game that I still think about all the time years later.

I affectionately refer to it as live action breath of the wild

I have ubo, what are your other kinds of ad blocking? I always want to block as many ads as possible
