UndercoverUlrikHD, in rules for thee, but not for me

There are potentially 3 different groups of people that may ban you for a comment. If you break a community rule, a moderator may ban you as you would expect from reddit. However, since reports also notify the admins of the community instance and the admins of the instance of the reporter, you may end up banned by an admin if they believe you are breaking an instance rule.

The modlog is great for transparency, but lemmy should also make it clear what group has banned you and why. I haven’t been banned before so I’m not sure what that process looks like currently though.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

This is my first time. I’m not even sure where to find the modlog in jebora.

And yeah, notifying me that an action has been taken against me and the reason for that action would help me understand that I’ve done something wrong, what it was, and how to modify my behavior.

We’re getting meta very fast. I like it!

AndrasKrigare, in Gambling is addictive

I don’t understand the reasoning of gambling being legal, but advertising it illegal. Advertising isn’t the “bad” part.

explodicle,

Here in the USA it’s how they get the poor to pay back the natives, instead of taxing the wealthy heirs of stolen land.

Damn

Flumsy,

Because it shouldnt be popular, but making it completely illegal is quite invasive.

For the same reason tobacco ads are illegal, yet you can still buy cigarettes. Prohibition doesnt work, thats why we have rules and regulations. Advertising something that is highly addictive should be highly regulated.

EvolvedTurtle,

Plus I think this article is taking it a little too serious

heavy, in Gambling is addictive

Good to see people agree on this. The way that gambling in sports has flourished really targets and is detrimental to young men, IMO. I’ve noticed that younger men tend to feel it’s normal to risk a significant amount of money gambling on almost all sports, to include E-sports, when really it shouldn’t be something they think about constantly.

I like gambling as much as the next person, and I feel like you should be allowed to if you’re responsible, but I think we shouldn’t be glorifying gambling like it’s just something everyone does. Shame on all these celebrities using their status to trick younger people into gambling.

Socsa,

It’s honestly insane. I have been watching sports with the same group of people for almost 30 years now, and the past few years it’s gotten fucking insufferable. These people genuinely believe that they’ve got a system going, doing bet arbitrage against their six different apps and seventeen different accounts. They don’t even watch the fucking game. They are just watching phones and laptops. I hate it.

So what ends up is that I’m watching our team win, and happy about it, but half the room is punching holes in the wall because thirteen different stats across six different games didn’t magically align to give them a 100:1 payout. Two of the original group have literally taken on major debt to fund their addiction and still think it’s perfectly fine to keep betting.

So glad someone with hlaf a brain actually does some rational thinking based on facts.

For the record, the war is not about that, but facts are facts 🤷. A large pirtion of Ukraine is Nazi oriented.

Cold war related stuff is what the media clings on to: Russia bad, Ukraine good.

The real reason was that the US was planning to plant it’s ass in Russia’s backyard. Ukraine wanted to be a part of NATO, which is of course a choice that any country has a right to make, but not when your neighbour is an ex hevy weight boxing champ and tells you to shut the hell up… yeah, you shut the hell up.

Oooooh. You used the W-word. 20 years of gulag for you, comrade. 🙃

ikiru, (edited )

First of all, what’s up with this title? I thought Zelensky fucking died.

But the media was recently critical of Nazis in Ukraine until the current invasion. That includes BBC, Reuters, Guardian, and Telegraph just to name a few. Now they all pretend like it’s fake news, Russian propaganda. Haha

And, as far as I know, Ukraine only started seeking NATO membership after the 2014 US-backed coup. (They first applied in 2008.) So, I don’t know if Ukraine, like the Scandinavian countries, didn’t actually have popular support to join NATO pre-2022 but it’d make sense if public opinion has now shifted.

davel,
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Sorry sweaty, but pre-February 2022 Western media is fake news now.

0x4E4F,

It’s all politics… sympatheic about losses on both sides, but this could have all been avoided if they (UA) stepped down on the NATO deal.

ikiru,

For sure, I agree with you.

But I have to take back what I said, Ukraine started seeking NATO membership as early as 2008. Although it does seem that they started seeking NATO as a priority after Euromaidan.

My point was that it’s doubtful to say they exercised their right as a country to freely decide whether to join NATO, especially if there was no major popular demand for it at the time, I’m sure it’s just coincidental that they sought NATO as a priority after a US-backed coup.

0x4E4F,

The coup as well… and other things… the US messes in politics with foreign countries way way too much. Russia does it as well, but not to that extent. I think Putin just got pissed about it and saw an oportunity to regain some of the land Russia lost when the USSR fell apart. The NATO thing was just the icing on the cake.

The Cuban missile crisis was about the same thing, Russia planting it’s ass next to NATO. Russia did back down with the plan though. The US wasn’t ready to do that with Ukraine. They wanted a country right next to Russia.

kristina,

people also forget that ukraine first began terror operations in 2014 against the innocent civilians of donbas who requested more autonomy. its always convenient that history always starts whenever it is most satisfactory for liberals

0x4E4F,

Yeah, to be honest, a lot of things were not reported or reported wrongly by the media… there’s at least 2 sides to 1 story, but seing as how Putin was close to Trump, plus the fact that Russia was always portraied as the villan in the cold war, it’s understandable why things were not reported correctly and not every fact was layed out.

For the record, I’m not pro one side or the other. Just saying that things are not always as they seem.

kristina,

the prevailing opinion on hexbear is that we care about the citizens of donbas and the normal people that were drawn into this insane death spiral by the west. we generally dont support the governments of russia (some do critically support russia on very specific terms) or ukraine for a variety of reasons, but our primary point is to oppose the american military industrial complex.

0x4E4F,

It’s pointless… at least in my mind… oposing that is, the military industrial complex, doesn’t matter which country it belongs to.

We have a saying around here: сила бога не моли. Litelarly translated it means power doesn’t ask anything from god. Basically, this applies to everything in life. If you’re powerful enough, you don’t ask anyone for anything, even aproval… it’s just how things are 🤷.

argo_yamato, in Gambling is addictive

Yep and as someone who watches a lot of sports I would love to see those ads banned. Also ban the pre-game odds shows and the in game odds updates.

Grayox,
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

100% its so cringe, im ok with the fantasy aspect of it, cause it does take some skill, but the odds are just straight up gambling no if ands or buts. I dont know how gamblers in recovery even watch sports anymore… so glad i got addicted to gambling on stocks with wallstreets bets and learned my expensive lesson so that sports can stay pure for me and not tainted by my addictive personality.

Socsa,

The fantasy games are just how they get kids hooked. It’s very obvious to me as someone who has always kind of felt like fantasy takes some purity out of the fandom, that this has been a long term plan to normalize this kind of “skill” game so they can create exactly that pipeline.

But I mean, its probably just a crazy conspiracy theory that the NFL already had branded endorsement deals ready to go with a dozen different gambling houses immediately when the Supreme Court cleared the way for all this shit.

thorbot, in history ppl

I didn’t know Jensen was in The Boys until the memes and now I’m immediately watching them all

Just_Not_Funny,

Definitely worth a watch. Gen V is okay too.

TropicalDingdong, in history ppl

Shouldn’t this be reversed?

Idk I’ve never seen the show, only it’s memes.

JackbyDev,

The Boys spoilersThe top frame features Homelander. The bottom has Soldier Boy. Soldier Boy is Homelander’s biological father. They used his sperm. I don’t remember if they altered it but it was definitely originally sperm from Soldier Boy. Basically Homelander views himself as an upgrade of Soldier Boy but Soldier Boy views Homelander as a cheap knockoff of Soldier Boy. If they changed DotA 2 to DotA then the meme would make more sense. DotA 2 and LoL are both successors to the original DotA map from WC3. If Homelander and Soldier Boy were brothers then it would make sense.

Thanks! Also, how do you do the spoiler?

Blizzard, in history ppl

Isn’t League of Legends just a WarCraft 3 without gathering resources, building buildings and training army? Basically just hero units fighting akwardly.

applebusch,

For some history, the original DOTA was a custom map in Warcraft 3. It pretty much defined the moba genre. From there lots of clones were created, and eventually some were made into full games. League of Legends is one of those, and became the most popular. So yes, they’re all just Warcraft 3 with only the hero parts.

DacoTaco,
@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

League wasnt a clone, league was in the beginning by the people behind the original w3 dota map :')

JackbyDev,

Clone isn’t derogatory.

kameecoding, (edited )

the main maintainer of DotA at the time IceFrog works with Valve and is behind Dota 2.

so yes, LoL is a knockoff.

youtu.be/JBI9NlPqRi0?si=9T7DBYB2MOfQKo4N

AngrilyEatingMuffins,

No. Icefrog was the assistant dev. Guinsoo was the main dev and left dota to start LoL, leaving icefrog in charge of the project.

Bonehead,

Yeah, but the parents created the fuck up to begin with. So who is really at fault?

GrammatonCleric,
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

Sometimes the parents do everything right, but the child isn’t receptive. Also, there’s psychological disorders that can make any kind of parenting futile.

Croquette,

The parents. But still need to vent sometimes.

Bonehead,

Just like I told my father, you don't need to take it out on the fuck up.
