  • Pretty sure if you try and spell out the letters n, i, g, g,… and submit your comment or reply, it’s hardcoded on all platforms to remove the word. I’ve tried tellijg a story on the sync app for lemmy that involved a word that rhymes with maggot being said and even in quotes it only printed on the screen “removed” iirc. Context here implying it was the word someone said and not being used in the context of the comment. Not that it matters in a public forum but I point this out because the list we’re looking at is subreddit specific list of banned words that will trigger a bot to remove the automatically comment/delete the comment but still show a comment was made.

    With that being said I have no fuckin clue what im looking at for the rest of the drama. In the image. It’s 4 boxes that could be read L to R from the top or it could be columns where top L is 1 bottom L is 2 top R is 3…

    I think they didn’t like triggering their automated moderating system because what they felt was legitimate content. Little absurd to expect a reply from a real person mod in a span of a couple minutes tho.


  • Yeah but fucking still. I never would’ve imagined i was surrounded by more peers at any given Bills game than there were people accross the whole world contributing to Lemmy on avg. That’s sooooo fucking wild.

    It’s also so crazy how in a stadium of 70,000 people from US and Canada I will see someone i know every piss or beer break. Whereas Lemmy is half that amd I am 100% positive I’ve never interacted or saw a comment/post on Lemmy from anyone I know. It’s just crazy to see the perspective of seeing the odds of being 1 out of 70,000 vs being 40,000 out of 6 or 7 billion. Obviously I’m intentionally ignoring all the variables at play for the real reason I know people at bills games vs lemmy but it’s still the quntificatikn that I found amazin.


  • I wish more people were like you. Not everyone can keep up with everyone’s beefs (this one not so much) but it really grinds my gears when I see seemingly polite, on topic, engaging or contributing comments with no replies but still geyting down voted. Especially on a forum as thirsty as Lemmy users are for more user involvement.

    It makes me think there are too many people in the world conditioned to be preset to hate thst the fact a person doesn’t know they’re supposed to hate something is enough grounds to be shunned and hated on. Lol. It’s cool to see someone jump in and say:Hey homie, we don’t hate you we hate a person who is unrelated to the topic of the thread or the context of your comment but we do hate them enough to hate on you

    Edit: the parenthesis comment was meant to imply hating Trump monkeys is glaringly obvious. My comment was about lemmy etiquette and wasn’t about why or why not OP was getting downvoted.





  • But this is a contract thing between steam and game studio, or at least I assume. The only thing different is the launcher. The content of the game is going to be the same as the one that’s been out on steam. It’s not like its a console vs PC delayed release where the game is made for different platforms. If you bought it March 28th itd be the same as not buying rhe steam game on its release date and waiting a couple months to get it end of March.

    I’m more asking if my understanding is correct to the general audience, sounds like im lecturing but more walking thru the bases to see if im missing something.

    I mean I owned fo4 on steam, bought folon on gog and had no problem playing them together so its all the same exact game codes after it launches, right?




  • I know 20 years ago Walmart was the face of corporate evil but hear me out. They have had 1 company MO and have never wavered from it, providing affordable goods at the lowest possible price to the consumer without any bells or whistles. No coupons, no buy 3 get 1 free, no sketchy pricing based on bullwhip procurement.

    My message here is to encourage anyone like myself who is fed the fuck up with Amazon, Google and Microsoft shitting on every product they put out all rhe while cutting all operating costs from any semblance of customer support. I call Walmart every year to check how much .22 ammo they have around deer season to get my tags and the winters supply of varmint ammo in one trip. Every year I speak to a real person even if it rings for a hot minute.

    For about the same price as Amazon prime, I have Walmart “prime” that comes with free delivery of not just market place shit but also same day grocery delivery. They dont spread themselves too thin like literally every single corporate giant out there. They were better equipped than Amazon to get into the market place industry and they are killing it. While every other shit head company is dumping billions into AI (Walmart might be too idk so take this with a grain of salt) Walmart invested billions into developing their drone delivery project.

    Tldr: I encourage everyone who likes simple affordable products from a straight forward without any bullshit to give the Walmart equivalent of Amazon prime a shot.

    Edit: One other perk point for uncle Wally is it isn’t a snake payment deal like 9.99/month of never ending monthly payment, maybe they do offer that now but when I signed up it was a single flat payment for 1 year and I get 2 emails letting me know it’s coming due for next year and the second being the invoice. They dont spam you, force apps on you, value your data more than you or the product you’re buying. Fuck i could keep going with how pleased I’ve been with Walmart.






  • FYI for grammar:

    “unemployedness” = unemployment

    “and therefore homelessness” should be “and subsequent homlessness”

    “Therefore” is more of a cause and effect thing meaning the effect needs the cause for it to happen. In your case the word subsequent adds the importance of order, one then the other, because homelessness doesn’t only happen as a result of being unemployed but still delineates that unemployment can lead to homelessness.

    I think. I’m not a fuckin English major lol🍻

    Edit to address your comment’s point: Whats wrong with fat people? It’s a lifestyle choice. They’re ignorance of what is healthy is a burden on their family, on the Healthcare system, and in most cases a burden on the people they work with. However, they are the biggest burden on people with chronic illnesses not caused by obesity but are also found in people with obesity. Example: Type 1 Diabetics. The amount of funding that goes into drugs for type 2 when at the end of the day, all the fat fucks need to do is eat healthy and exercise for their Type 2 diabetes to go away. Meanwhile all that money could be going to better treatment facilities, better insulin prices, more funding towards a cure for people with juvenile diabetes aka Type 1 diabetics whose illness is largely genetic and is a lifelong chronic ailment. My favorite internet story is one where a guy called his best friend a fat fuck until his BFF dropped the weight lol. So there are also positive out comes that could be had bybreplacing incel hate with hating on the fat fucks of the world.
