Had no idea there was a Dune MMO. Or people were still making those. I thought we decided WoW, Guild Wars 2, and FF XIV were the last MMO’s (and maybe that Conan one, which sounded interesting to me).

Karma farming accounts. Bot commenters.

I like Roku, although it’s a lot worse than it used to be. It could be normal for awhile and then they’ll sneak a bunch of ads in there. I like that it’s less intrusive than other apps though without me having to do a bunch of customizations and trawling through settings and menus.

Please, there’s no surveillance or authoritarianism in the Lemmy code.

Stop falling for propaganda.

We need a revolutionary party first to raise the funds to pay our professional revolutionaries lol.

Ya dislike how half the infographic is just other military industrial complex things.

Oh great, now they’re going to pull a Maduro on Cuba’s leader. Somebody needs to stop. This fucking mad dog of a country. You can’t just charge foreign leaders with your country’s domestic laws. Hell we can’t even imprison our leaders for breaking our country’s domestic laws apparently.

Gross

You don’t airways hear about the British operations.

It’s got to. It doesn’t happen very often, but I have had pants go in fine and come out of the dryer with holes. Of course, they were a few years old, but still…

That can’t be. I was told he was tirelessly working on a ceasefire.

Hm… I need to start getting some of these hobbies… I live in an apartment so gardening seems like a no-go so that narrows it down.

Laziness lol

If you twiddle them, you’ll see exactly what the previous commenter is talking about. For example, try comparing socialist countries like Russia and Cuba to other countries of a similar level of development, like any random country in the Third World, or Africa, Asia, or South America that didn’t use imperialism in the 1800’s, to boost its development.

You’ll see a 15-25 year difference in life expectancy during that time. And that’s without causing the awful conditions in the rest of the world that Europe and the US did by boosting their development through slavery, war, imperialism, and colonialism.

Even the CIA admitted they had just as much food as they did in the US. People voted not to dissolve the USSR for a reason and then they did it anyway. Overall, life wasn’t that bad there, you’re mostly falling for propaganda.

Even the surveillance wasn’t that bad (compared to let’s say the US where the FBI was running amok at the time spying on every leftist organization, doing assassinations, blackmail, wiretapping, etc). They didn’t have Pizza Hut and jeans were hard to come by, but other than that, they managed to improve the lives for the vast majority of their population without having to do the colonialism and imperialism of the US and the West.

I remember DMing for some players once and being surprised when one of them was actually keeping track of arrows and asked if I was using the normal rules to retrieve them (getting back half). I was both surprised and impressed that he was actually doing that even though that was the rules. I appreciated it though lol.

Good picks. Loved a lot of those as a kid.

EDIT: Magic School Bus and Bill Nye also reminded me of some other fun educational shows I loved as a kid: Zoboomafoo and Reading Rainbow. I know Zoboomafoo has a modern equivalent called Wild Kratts that I haven’t watched. Not sure if Reading Rainbow does.

Ohhhhh /whoosh on me lol

Oh right, forgot he spent sorcery points. He really did come off as a wizard lol.

And that explains it. That does sound sorta familiar. The Critical Role community has done a good job of staying quiet about it and not acknowledging that whole situation.

From Critical Role I’m assuming they’re talking about. He was a wizard character in the beginning of campaign one.

I haven’t watched or listened to too much, but so far, I really like his character, but I heard he gets kicked out later for being a bad player or something so I’m sure he gets more annoying as it goes on.
