Are you opposed to authoritarianism?

Asking so I can understand whether the Nazis would get a pass under your beliefs.

I don’t like it when anybody, including Nazis, try to whitewash their actual agenda by putting dishonest labels on top of what they really do.

Not really interested in seeing another wall of links to further links. Authoritarianism is bad.

Are you implicitly admitting their critiques are 100% correct? Because I read your entire comment with a “you are correct, but…”

BTW this denialism could work for any oppressive regime. Swap “CPC” (the politically correct way to say it) with “Nazi” or their politically correct preferred acronym, “NSDAP”.

Personally, I don’t think fascists get to decide what we call them. It’s the CCP and the Nazis to me. Always will be.

I only played Postal Brain Damaged because I liked 2 so much, and that’s how I found out about boomer shooters to begin with!

As for Postal 4… Would not recommend. Sadly.

The studio that makes those games, makes the best in their genre and is somehow punching above their weight. I got Elderborn too after playing Postal Brain Damaged and was impressed.

Everybody likes different genres, and this one probably wouldn’t be mine, but it was entrancing and I basically immediately poured all my free time into it too. Totally worth the buy.

I’ve watched Fox once in the past year and that’s exactly how they arranged their segments, connecting two loosely related things to push a singular agenda…

… Never saw the AntiWork thing, I just know how it went down.

Even if it never accomplished nothing before the Fox News interview, isn’t it interesting Fox felt the need to confront it?

Postal Brain Damaged. If you like boomer shooters,

It’s got charming art and level designs, satisfying weapons, and a whole lot of irreverence.

I’m out of the daydreaming phase because I’ve beaten it a few times, but it’s still my comfort food game of choice.

This is why I use Signal with the small chats and groups I’m in.

That’s true, I noticed on a couple subreddits that votes don’t matter unless you’re mildly popular, and it’s even possible to get comments throttled for being unpopular enough. Downvotes don’t do much besides pushing your comments off the screen for the most part.

I think it’s the gamification. Mastodon degamifies Twitter in a way Lemmy can’t really do with the classic Reddit system.

Votes go up, votes go down, you can see people winning and losing here. It’s fun, even if it’s in a bad way.

Mastodon having a way bigger algorithm curve before you start seeing interesting stuff remains throughout.

You’ve launched into full-on apologia for why dumb cars are bad, this just makes your suggestion look worse

If a Toyota connects to the internet to receive instructions to disable things built into the car, it is too smart of a car for its own good.

Are you seriously on the “sell my heated seats back to me” train? Because that’s happened too.

Toyota wants to lock people out of features built into their cars.

Would you say the same thing if they started charging monthly for using the seat warmers?

Toyota has lost its way, using their “smart” cars to lock people out of features that they don’t subscribe to.

I recommend people avoid them.

Technically? It’s 3 years off from antique.

I love me a movie that can carry itself through aesthetics alone!

Take On Me because the rotoscoping work is amazing, and now more movies need to embrace it.

• closest movie: Cool World, which is basically an avant-garde music video of its own, with people transitioning between the 2D and 3D worlds

Turbo Killer because it has fast cars, violence, and Satanism

• closest movie: Rock and Rule, set in a furry cyberpunk dystopia “where magic and technology collide”, featuring glowing pentagons and shiny (not as fast) cars
• second closest movie: Nicolas Cage’s Mandy. Just wait for it…

Out of all the bad things you can say about Mastodon drama and moderation issues…

It’s pretty cool the phrases “don’t use this instance” and “follow people on this instance” can coexist.

Because of federation, the admins of an instance besides your own don’t even get to peep your IP addresses.
