I saw at the end the plaintiff became a prison guard. It’s been over 20 years now, i would be interested to see how long he stuck with it seeing how their whole thing was about smart people quitting the force

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Oh no is your name a seinfeld reference? Oooooollddddd

(and me too for getting it)

2 hours after calling libs right wing you don’t have any downvotes!?! What, are they all in business school still?

Edit: one finally came, god bless :)

the_post_of_tom_joad,

This meme just highlights for me the fact someone could make nearly the same meme for right-wingers simply by changing left to right and it would sound much like what we’re fed by the media we consume on the daily.

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Do you suppose that there is no propaganda in the media you watch?

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Oh dear, that isn’t the point at all, is it?

the_post_of_tom_joad,

I get tired when i see people look down on others when they themselves have no, i mean fucking no empathetic intelligence.

You can’t even see it when i point it out.

Take a loooong look at how you came to believe youre so special to be unaffected by propaganda, or that the media in whatever (special, amazing) country you reside in does not put any out.

Is this realistic? That your country, and by extension you, are just above it all?

You aint it babe, get over yourself

Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control (github.com)

I’ve been grappling with a concern that I believe many of us share: the lack of privacy controls on Lemmy. As it stands, our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone who cares to look. I don’t even care about privacy all that much, but this level of transparency feels to me akin to sharing my...

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Nope, reading people’s history is the number one reason i liked Reddit and now lemmy. It’s just anonymous enough that you can keep your private life separate, and having a comment history stands in as an online barometer of who the other people your talking to are generally like

the_post_of_tom_joad,

… Any room in there?

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Hey partner! Welcome! When they firing this thing?

the_post_of_tom_joad,

I JUST LOST THE GAME

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Im a Scorpio

In case you’re not joking, this is what i meant, friend. Just a pun :)

Even though it’s only tangentially related i must still link this video because it is old enough to be new again.

German forklift training video

Stick with it, its a bit of a slow burn but worth it i promise

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Great! I was going it would find a new audience, it’s good shit

MR PICKLEEEEEEES! GOOOOD BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!

the_post_of_tom_joad,

I’ve felt very comfortable not buying a single ubisoft game since rayman legends, a great game that i use my pirated copy to play because it works better than the DRMriddled version i paid for.

Generally i don’t even bother to steal ubisoft games since i haven’t played a good one (imo) since early early far cry or asscreed2

the_post_of_tom_joad,

That’s ok for them though, you and me will sail the seas finding adventure and friendship and shit while they sit on their doodoo drm islands

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Where’s that greentext with the guy who takes over a company by pirating their game 100k times?

the_post_of_tom_joad,

and yet consumers keep blindly marching towards it

Consumers are being frog-marched friend, we have absolutely no control over market forces. Voting with your wallet only works in highly competitive markets

the_post_of_tom_joad, (edited )

Ill wager it was just Molyneaux was a bad dev in a better age, before all games were released unfinished and had an online component, and dlc was truly dlc, like horse armor, not a part of the game deliberately withheld during development.

Games were expected to be finished products that lasted as long as you didn’t break the install disk.

We’ve gone a long way down since I’ve been gaming

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Lol the guy is the director of subscriptions even. It’s like asking a vampire his thoughts on blood

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Im not being super serious but its true, molyneauxs promises became a punchline but i loved the games he made. Black & White was buggy, even had a game breaking bug (wolves or something, it happened to me too) but i still lived the shit out of it, fable i played 2 times thru back to back (super, super fun but not what he promised)

That’s what i mean. A broken promise back then was a game that wasn’t as great. Not a game that didn’t even run like that Batman fiasco, or many online only games that don’t even run stable at launch, etc.

He was a simple “problem” in a better age of gaming

the_post_of_tom_joad, (edited )

My whole thing even more than (gaming which is huge) is having to relearn how to make everything work. I was (i honestly have to say ‘was’ ugh) nearly a windows ‘power user’ for awhile, maybe peaked in my skills getting hardware running, programs and games running until win7 came out and shit just worked.

Nowadays when i go back to fix shit, or even just change a setting i have to relearn how to do it. Am i crazy or do they keep moving shit now? Fucking why? I have windows cuz inertia at this point but if i have to Google how to change basic Windows settings then there’s not much stopping me from tossing a match on Windows and walking away

the_post_of_tom_joad,

I haven’t been to reddit much since the api fiasco. If it’s not too much trouble can you point me to some obvious bots so i can get a feel for what that looks like?
