Are you a patient gamer?
  • I am just so underwhelmed by most games these days that I’ve stopped buying them. I didn’t play BG3 until someone bought it for me as a gift, and then I really enjoyed the shit out of it. It probably made it even more fun that I didn’t plan to play it and had very low expectations. So I guess that’s part of the fun for me now - waiting for a sale or free game and hoping that it’s better than I imagine it to be.

    A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care
  • I’m sorry but humans refusing to save the life of another human because of an obtuse law is unconscionable. They should have done what needed to be done and let the lawyers sort it out later.

    Anyone Can Learn Echolocation in Just 10 Weeks—And It Remodels Your Brain
  • And I would argue that explaining why people dont like the usage of "this" is not more useful than people writing "this" because of the Streisand effect we’ve witnessed and that you and I have now created is even more detrimental to a thread because it creates a distraction from the original topic. We now have a subtopic competing for brain cycles that clearly adds no value and is likely making us all stupider.

    I award us no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

    User shares their experience with being a tankie on Hexbear. Hexbear reacts
  • It’s extremely clear to me that hexbear is a Russian propaganda tool. The twisted logic they employ and the over willingness of the users to spend lots of time pushing a narrative has made it all too obvious. I sincerely hope no one else falls into that trap through the fediverse. It needs to be defederated.

    I’ve witnessed friends who got into the alternative news/Q Anon shit similarly start to fully believe the propaganda. They parrot all the Russian talking points about Ukraine and believe Trump is the only one who can save the country from oblivion. They think they’re hearing insider information, that it’s the actual truth, and the media does nothing but lie. It’s attractive because they think they’re getting secretive truth that most other people aren’t hearing. They’re getting bullshit.

    The Russian war on hearts and minds is going swimmingly well for them. They’ve gotten fascists elected all over the world. It is time for their targets to wake up from their drug induced haze and recognize the true reality of the situation.

    Elon Musk’s X engaged in a ‘pattern of election interference' to help Trump
  • The main thing that gives X relevance is sports media and corporate communications. If they all move elsewhere, X would turn into an echo chamber like Truth Social.

    Obama, in blunt terms, tells Black men to get over their reluctance to support Harris
  • What policies of Barack Obama do you think contributed to this?

    Do you believe the president actually has a role in determining whether black people can achieve home ownership?
