Authoritarianism will never die, there will always be people wanting to be dictator.

Violence is needed to hack back the sprouting fronds of fascism wherever it arises, but it will never stop arising, and Normandy wasn’t won with a strongly worded letter.

I am serious enough that I have punched nazis before and look forward to a time when I can punch nazis again.

Violence is necessary for a functioning society to address those that reject the social contract that are not amenable to rationale.

Some people are more dangerous alive than the disruption their death would have caused.

I appreciate and understand that you are a strict pacifist, and that you feel it is a worthwhile life to follow, and I agree with you.

The problem is, in order for most of the populace to be pacifists, there still needs to be agents of violence to remove the disruptors who wish to co-opt or destroy our society that are not amenable to words.

Your ideology cannot exist in the real word as it will be consumed by other ideologies that do not eschew violence.

I have played Dwarf Fortress and I consider myself quite good, pulled off a bunch of tricky megaproject engineering tasks and mastered hydraulics and lava flows.

Most people consider Dwarf Fortress a very hard game. I consider it a moderately hard game.

Noita is a

FUCKING

hard game

And I say that as a person with likely more than 20k hours in game.

I bought it, played it for 2 hours, got tired of dying to invisible poisoned zones and uninstalled.

I WANT to like the game but it is really stupidly buggy and claustrophobic

I’ve got 1k+ hours in both Fallout 4 and Skyrim, bought them both on opening day.

Haven’t finished either of their main quests, for Fallout I just really didn’t care at all about Shaun.

Hermaevs’ youtube channel has a no-hit RL1 boss run where she shows Morgott’s safe spacing and timing, got me through and now I’m trying to RL1 Radahn and I’m stuck there lol

I don’t know if it still works but abusing the physics engine to make kinetic ship obliterating shotguns added an easy extra hundred hours to my gameplay.

I know several magahats in my family that are having doubts, not because of anything Harris said.

I think this debate was an unequivocal victory but I’m still telling everyone I know to vote

The media is owned by rich old white men that would gladly accept fascism for lower taxes. It’s that simple.

Custom ROM or just go back to a flip phone.

It’s only going to get worse with the big players from this point on.

Of course it’s the lemm.ee user that suggest the fashyist of all streaming sites.

Can we please defederate them now?

Holographic storage is a fluff project, the resolution we’d need to match modern density is simply to narrow to be done optically. I mean it sounds fun but will never be practical

Firefox for most things, but I keep a copy of Vivaldi installed because sometimes my firefox setup breaks capcha.

… that literally makes no rhetorical sense.

Also I wasn’t performing any logic, I asked a question and made a statement. There was no evaluation of anything in there. Are you a misconfigured bot?

Well since we are talking about the internet, is that such a bad idea?

It’s not called the ‘web of lies’ for nothing.

The curse of accessibility, if you make something so easy that anyone can use it, everyone will.

For me I loved the challenge of squeezing out a few extra k of lower memory. My autoexec.bat had four hundred lines in it.

I miss those days honestly. There’s really not much practical benefit to overclocking anymore, even broke college kid level devices come with at least 8 gigs of ram.

8… gigs… of ram… and ALL of it treated like lower memory… Could you imagine that in the mid 90s? I’d be thinking star trek.
