Thanks. I’ll be checking these out later.

…what does that have anything to do with closing accounts? Accounts do not degrade.

Tell me you hate poor people without telling me you hate poor people.

In my eyes, if it’s extremely unlikely that we’re real, it’s even more unlikely that another species is not only real, but has significantly better technological advancements than us as well. It’s just the same problem with extra steps. But the thing about the simulation thing, is that it’s completely unfalsifiable and has no impact on our reality even if it’s true. So there isn’t really any need to consider it outside of a philosophical conversation.

The free will one and the fear of an AI uprising is understandable, even if I disagree myself, but the other two… What makes you believe that in the entire universe, we’re the only planet that managed intelligent life? And the simulation thing is just crazy.

Huh, I had always assumed oranges got their name from the color, not the other way around…

Seriously depends on the game. Black Ops 2 for example, a game that came out over a decade ago, still costs $100 on steam (assuming you want the DLC). At best you’ll get it for $50 during sales. The fact that, even during a sale, a game with a completely dead playerbase costs as much as a modern title is absolutely nuts.

A lot of games are like this, unfortunately. Not everyone takes advantage of sales because many people are going to end up buying the game regardless.

Especially not with the kids.

As someone who was lurking on Reddit every day, probably not to be honest. I know a lot of people are enjoying the smaller community, but to me it just feels… empty. The bigger instances are fine, but I was never interested in the popular subreddits like r/funny or r/memes. I used reddit for things like specific games, communities that are noticeably dead on Lemmy.

I’m using Lemmy more like an intermediary step between reddit and just quitting altogether.

What confuses me is why they chose to use white text there… surely the orange background is bright enough for black text to be far easier to read?
