Sectioning off groups of people into their own echo chambers has been the digital divide-and-conquer M.O. for a while now. This is a bad thing. Remember how it would feel when a post in your favorite niche sub hit /all? That kind of injection of nonmembers into the discussion is a good thing.

Sometimes it’s the HV, sometimes it’s the AC

… and there goes most of them.

Thats where federation comes in. Don’t like how mods are running things? Just set up a mirror forum on a different instance and people will come if theyre sympathetic.

Here is an artists rendering

Tennessean here who tried to organize on my state/city subreddits. Can confirm this kind of partisan censorship is not new.

A while ago I made a innocuous enough post on my city’s sub about a “Release the Epstein Files” billboard that went up and was paid for by our local Mobilize chapter. Within an hour it was the most upvoted post of the past month. Within 2, it was removed without reason and I was blocked and banned permantly

In Nashville once while being ridden to a Geese concert, an Uber driver told me that Egyptian girls are hot and easy but “militaristically anti-processed meat.” Thoughts?

Thoughts on the pyramids? How do you stand on the “Great Pyramids vs. Mount Rushmore” debate?

What do you mean, you never got the “women are nothing but submissive cum dumpsters” talk?

I know better than to get in any prolong discussion on Lemmy about Karl Marx but it’s worth saying that he would’ve probably been a lot more delighted with Chinese communism (educated peasant uprising) than Russian (unguided peasant revolt taken over by urban intellectual minority), although neither really fit in with his deterministic view of history which said that nations needed a period of liberal capitalism before Communism could be achieved, and he obviously predicted Western Europe would be the nexus for this change.

It’s harder to do anything up high. Construction, climate control, transportation (moving something from one end to another), managing fires, additions, evacuation of personnel in an emergency, etc. etc., all get much harder when you build up up versus across.

You’re overthinking it lol

I would love to know more about this creature

Listen to this guy OP. Don’t be like me and give yourself tinnitus by your early 20s listening to Nine Inch Nails full volume for hours on end. Aint worth it.

I understand what you’re saying (I think) but you know that… you can kill everyone, right? The worst the game does is throw a few more enemies at you (to kill) and some moral characters say mean things to you. Pretty standard RPG mechanics, IMO. It’s just a choice and like I said, the narrative framing sets you up to be a highly-trained stealthy assassin, not some mass-murdering juggernaut. But you can do that if you want

Similarly I could not use the tools the game gives me

Offers* you. There’s even an achievement for completing the game with just a sword and pistol, no upgrades or powers ;) Choices!!

IIRC you still get the low-chaos ending if you only kill the targets. It’s just by going wild and killing everyone that you get high-chaos, and I think this fits in the moral framing of the game.

I do agree with your gripe that D1 gives you a lot of fun ways to kill people and challenges you not to use them, while at the same time giving you very little nonlethal tools. They addressed this well in the sequel IMO, but I did also love the challenge and the temptation knowing that these enemies would be so easy to defeat with a rat swarm but I just shouldn’t. Like I said, keeps with the moral framing about the slippery slope of mindless revenge IMO

My poor bookshelf…

Wow that looks like a blast. I just finished my ~fifth playthrough of Bioshock: Infinite last week and that game looks like it would slot in right beside that. Thanks for sharing!

THERE ARE BOOKS!?
