Please defederate from Lemmygrad now
  • I don’t think anyone should be cheering for people to die on either side. Also, Israel is just as guilty of terrorism as Palestine.

    A reminder that Lemmy Developer, Dessaline, is a genocide denialist.
  • Probably better to say you’re not sure if a genocide is taking place or not instead of completely ruling it out. They’re right that you can’t trust the news though.

    TIL Minimum wage has only increased by $7.00 in 85 years in the USA.
  • You’re not wrong in suggesting both sides of American government are corrupt. I believe they tell their constituents what they want to hear for the votes but in reality everything is about money. Normal people like us just get burned. I still vote Democrat every election though. Best I can do.

  • Don’t really like the connotation. Kind of feels like it’s suggesting that wages have risen enough over time because they’ve risen 29x. We can do math.

  • Yeah, they usually can’t. A lot of people just live with a bunch of roommates and split the cost. Or they live with their parents. It’s such a joke that minimum wage is as low as it is.

  • Yeah, from what I understand the point of minimum wage was to force employers to pay their employees a livable wage. It should probably be closer to 30-40 dollars per hour depending on where you live. Maybe more to afford health insurance.

    (Partial rant) Why are gaming communities for multiplayer games so often filled with toxicity? Why aren't game developers doing more to stop this?
  • There’s only so much you can do to stop toxicity in online games. Most games have consequences in the form of temporary or permanent bans. There’s also features like being able to mute or block other players. Unfortunately toxicity is just part of online competitive games when you play with random people.

    Climate change and white supremacy are not problems for US, Ramaswamy argues
  • You can say this about our politicians that are Democrats too. Nobody in our government has integrity or honor and they’re all a threat to us. We don’t have a democracy. Our government is run by the wealthy elite and any choice we have is an illusion.

    Baldur's Gate 3's success is not about setting a new "standard"
  • Yeah, I wasn’t too happy with the twitch drops thing but I caved in and created an account so I could get them. I feel like I let the 10 USD DLC slide because 70 USD total seems to be becoming the standard price for games anyway. They’re not totally innocent of the things I dislike but they delivered such a phenomenal game that I can overlook it.

  • Like everyone else is saying, I think the standard for primarily single player video games should be releasing a finished product for a reasonable price. I’m sure I don’t speak for just myself but I’m super tired of things like: unreasonably priced tiered purchase options, cash shops/microtransactions, battle/season passes, twitch drops, preorder bonuses, and just any kind of FOMO in general. It feels like a lot of modern video games are only designed to siphon as much money from the consumer as possible with the least amount of work possible. A lot of these games have no soul and they’re unfinished and broken on release. I just don’t even bother with them anymore.

    fixed cyberghost's "meme"
  • I don’t really understand what’s going on in this post. Socialism doesn’t have anything to do with fascism or racism or dictatorships.
