Its very simple. Sex is boring to look at. Even porn. Whats the longest you watched a porn movie? 5 minutes? 15? Let’s top it off at 30 minutes. Just to be safe.

Violence is not boring. Stuff like John Wick grabs you by the ass and puts you on a roller coaster.

Want proof? Look at gaming. How big are the dating sims? Now compare that with call of duty/etc.

So, me? Yeah, stop with the xxl steamy sex scenes in movies. Very rarely do they add anything more then an interlude. A time to get coffee. To look at your notifications. At best.

To be clear: I love sex. My sex.

No. Lemmy posts are always left leaning. There is no right and no center. Thats disheartening. Next to that most communities are too small so no viable discussions follow. Most communities die in months.

Then again, reddit.com doesnt exist anymore because some schmucks have taken over, resulting in obtrusive ads, profiling and tracking.

I dont post on reddit anymore. Still follow some subs though because they just dont have an alternative.

I went from 1 source (reddit) to several(lemmy, mastodon, 4chan, 9gag). And still it feels empty. Mostly because while some memes are nice, 4chan is filled with morons and 9gag… That’s a “racist app” according to its own users. But it doesn’t stop there. A lot of posts there are just vile. Not just right wing nut job, no, they are worse. And masto is mostly the same as lemmy.

Semi professional wifi(networking) at home (TP link omada or ubiquiti) and just buying excessive amounts of access points in my home.

Fuck you, low wifi signal. Fuck you, crashed router.

Hello fellow 50ish year old gamer.

You forgot homeworld.

Disco is terrible, lazy writing. It’s just endless word vomit.

I like literature, smart word play. but this ain’t that. This is just throwing everything including piss, vomit, semen and feces on the wall and see what sticks. And in a lot of early game scenes it’s this quite literally.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that Disco is not for everyone. You love it or it makes you nauseous. There is nothing in between. And you only know which one is you when you try it.

50 something also chiming in.

I think the nutcases have always just been there. Hiding in plain sight. They just never had a platform. It was always “uncle jerry in the back, spilling nonsense while drinking his beer. Dont mind him.”

And that was the end of it.

Uncle Jerry now has twitter , facebook and all those other bullshit channels for furthering his bullshit. And some of us just eat it up.

I work in IT, which is more then anything else, a business of truths. Its binary. It works or it don’t. 0 or 1. Yes or no. A lot of highly trained and educated people work in IT, which is a field which only exists because of science… and blatantly ignore that same science about society, environment, immigration, economy, chem trails and god knows what else.

It’s baffling. There are a lot, i would say 1 in 10, who will spout the most insane bullshit after a few beers. About stuff “the government doesn’t want you to know.” what exactly is the government ? I work for the government but apparently I’m excluded. Im good government?

we haven’t been on the moon. Chem trails are real. Climate change is just a fad, covid is a way to control us, vaccines give cancer, polio isn’t a real disease, its made up.

Da fuq.

I truly believe that social media, and I mean all social media should be banned. People should not be allowed to spew their bullshit. We as a people are really not ready for this. Maybe China is right with their “social score” system. Maybe stuff like the bilderberg group is really needed. We seem to need guidance. We, the normal civvies, seemingly are too hell bend on watching it all burn. And are too stupid to stop it. People like trump, inciting hate, spraying unlimited bullshit, should be thrown in jail. That’s not politics. That’s rage baiting.

The path we’re on leads to 2 things: the capitalist dystopia, think blade runner and a total melt down of our ecosystem which, ultimately, will lead to our dinosaur moment.

We are living, this moment, in a great filter event. I truly believe that. Wanna know why we don’t see, hear other planet wide civilisations? Look around you. See where this leads. Connect the dots. “do your own research.” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You begin your comment saying you don’t understand. And then you state the exact reasons why. You do know. You just hope your wrong. You aren’t. Google (and Apple) have become worse then Microsoft.

Funny to see that after all this time we’re back to V1’s and V2’s i(skander) but this time with gps. (or glonass)

Ukraine had lots of military industry after the fall of the Soviet union. From ships to missiles to helicopters to big ass planes.

It’s just that they pissed most of it away.

I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

Ideal is not the same, by any means, as PayPal. Read up.

With ideal you loose your money. Ideal is made from the pov of the bank and the shop selling you stuff. Its almost impossible to claim your money back without the sellers consent.

Tikkie is not the same as PayPal since tikkie only works with EU banks. (and quite possibly at this moment only NL banks) PayPal does not need a bank account. Its also not really a wrapper around ideal but thats another discussion. And mostly a semantic one so lets not go there.

Effe wat meer moeite doen en de kleine lettertjes lezen medenedelander :)

So many games are lost in time due to this.

My favourite game off all time, Homeworld, got remastered years ago. Its fantastic follow-up, cataclysm could not be included in the renaster. The reason? Lost source code. No backups, studio got bought, diveded, merged, shut down and nobody thoight it prudent to safeguard that what they bought; the code and ip.

It happens. Often.

Any (western designed) phone. It doesn’t matter. All your data belongs to us. Them.

Hell no.

Are you u all living in rosy mc Rosewood Santa’s little safe harbour everything is fine and dandy rainbow world? Or are you all lying through your teeth?

Letting someone in your home with clearly visible psychological issues, in your circle of trust, filled with those you hold most dearly and packed with your dearest memories, that place… And then letting someone in you know nothing about?

Hell fucking no.

In the real world letting some rando homeless dude in your home has a 50/50 chance of ending up in crazy town. There is a high probability that you, yours or your stuff get fucked up. I cannot and will not accept those odds. Even a 2% chance of shit happening is a risk I’m unwilling to take when it comes to my kids.

Would I help him? Maybe. It depends on some factors (like can I at that specific time, did I help him out earlier, do I have cash on hand) Would I let him in? No f-ing way.

So real answer: money: maybe, eat & drink: anytime. Clothes: I’ve got some you can have, no problem. Bath and clean: nope. Never.

PC gaming is not here to stay. One day, someone, will finally do a cloud /saas streaming solution which works, which solves the latency and fidelity issues and which will be accepted and trusted by the masses.

Hopefully that will be a Valve solution. Not Nvidia, MS, Google or Sony.

From that moment on the client will not matter anymore and you will just stream it to your device and from there cast it to your big screen.

Hopefully I’m full of shit and this will never happen. But I’m afraid I’m not.

Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.

Yes, everything you said is factually true. That doesn’t mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: “MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!”

We’re fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can’t comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)

I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.

In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.

More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.

But… Removing the excess sounds nice but isn’t. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.

You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.

That’s not what i meant. Replies are just more a cesspit over here and often not worth the energy needed to read them.

Often there is no room for debate.

And that’s for sure hurting the platform.

Thank you for once again doing what i was railing about. You’ve proven my point once again. The room is divided, I’m an simplistic asshole and you’re the righteous dude. Congrats. Next stop: I’m a racistic bigot.

Lhgbtwdxyz I don’t care, bud. I really don’t. Do what you like, don’t do what you don’t like. Be who you are. Live life how you want. It is as simple as that. And let me do the same, ok? I will never get all the fuzz. Be gay. Dont be gay. Be bi. Dont be bi. Be nothing: also great. Be everything : good for you. Be the other sex or none at all: it’s your life. I don’t care and neither should you about what I do. Just love people and you choose who. Express yourself however you want. That’s not a new message.

Police : solutions. Not anarchist bullshit. ACAB is bullshit and leads nowhere.
