Didn’t we have this question before? Iirc people threw when to don your pants into the mix and the thread went WILD.

Depending on the state of the Syrian justice system someone is either going to cash out or “donate” the image to avoid pissing off the government.

Why are there quotas for women and PoCs in some companies? To get rid of a bad social tradition you have to actively work to undermine it until this work isn’t needed anymore.

But honestly, it’s just because I have been taught to be a gentleman to women by my mother. I do think though that they have SO much shit to deal with in our society, it’s okay to value them a little more than men now and then.

I was taught you first greet the women present and only then the men, because that is the gentlemanly thing to do. But alas, I was also taught to respect women and people in general.

Those controversies are pretty baseless, the one thing she genuinely did wrong was providing graphics for shoe0nhead and Blaire White, but she says she didn’t know what those stood for at the time and honstly, they can be deceiving.

True, just cast Lupita Nyong’o in any movie and they’ll forget all about the game.

Flashgames were peak creativity and a very “internet” blend of edginess and woke, there were some absolute treasures out there.

Good point

True true. You definitely get a relaxed fanbase with a good ability to take some irony and self-mockery like that. You just also will always have an army of haters turn up wherever someone expresses personal joy in your game online.

The thing is this:

The people playing on easy don’t get angry when they’re called easy-goers, this is not about their ego for them.

But the “I’m the most manly man of them all, I only play on the hardest difficulty!”-types will instantly have their overinflated egos implode when you call them out like that. And you’ll have your game shitstormed by incels.

Bwahahahahaha

Ah, yes, when they tell you they vote AfD and you ask them about something on the party platform and they tell you it is not in there and so you quickly search the document, show them and they call you a liar…

Honestly, the lack of a decent algorithm is why I stopped using Mastodon. It’s not a problem on lemmy since up- and downvotes are the algorithm, but for all other fediverse services it’s what keeps me away.

The difference is that this doesn’t mean I’m on Insta or Twitter, just that this here is basically all social-media I do.

With a passion

The amount of dinosaurs in oil is less then negligeble at best. Oil is the result of huge mats of dead plankton getting trapped below the seafloor and then pressure-cooked into crude oil. We’re talking millions of tons of dead plants and animals accumulating as sediment in (geologically) short timeframes, more than would have ever been possible to produce with the biomass of dinosaurs.

Holy shit… I told myself I’d go to Curiosity Stream once they accepted different payment methods than credit cards but DAMN SON! That price…

Edit: Oh wait… that’s annually… okay, I’m still with it.

Edit2: And I got them mixed up with Nebula, that’s where I really wanted to go… damn.

10.61% in June 2026, up from 3.56% in May

Tripling in ONE MONTH.

Yeah, I’m sorry everyone. As much as all of us love Linux and (rightfully) hate Microslop, that’s a jump that simply cannot be explained just by human users.

Data from Cloudflare Radar appears to support that explanation. Cloudflare reportedly recorded a similar rise in Linux traffic, but the spike largely disappeared when its data was filtered to include only traffic identified as human. The comparison is not a direct match for StatCounter’s methodology, but it provides a strong indication that bots and automated systems are responsible for much of the sudden increase.

I hope he doesn’t think he’ll get an answer to his question.

Paris is the crime capital of Europe.

The city with the highest crime index in Western Europe is Marseilles (67,03) second highest is Bimingham (63,96)

Those would be the 8th and 13th place in the US. So you’d have to go through:

• Memphis (77,85)
• Detroit (72,82)
• Baltimore (71,11)
• Albuquerque (70,90)
• Saint Louis (70,12)
• Oakland (68,60) and
• New Orleans (67,92)

Before you arrive at Marseilles. Paris is at 57,88, that would be the 17th place in the US.

At the same time the kind of crimes that are unusually high in Marseilles and Paris are pickpocketing and petty theft.

The crimes that are unusually high in the US are violent crimes.

The US doesn’t only have stabbings too, it has more per capita than the UK.

In addition to the gun murder disparity
