From the little I’ve seen (or more had to be exposed to) they are 100% convinced that Lemmy is like 10 people and nothing else exists. They’re so walled in, much of those walls being built by themselves.

On a vaguely related note, reddit has been so deeply shit now for long enough where it has stopped being a good source of info. It used to be such a good place to find just about any info via a search but now the results are just so fucking weird. Trying to find stuff about new-ish games, tech support, recommendations for anything etc. has become so much harder now.

I live in a small apartment, and when standing in the middle of the kitchen you can see almost all of if. So when I have new people over I like to ask if they want a tour then point to that spot and tell them to go there, then I say “ok, look around, that’s everything! Nice, huh?” There are generally only two different reactions: “Haha! Yeah, it is nice!” or “Oh, come on, it’s not that bad!”. I never say it in a way that makes it sound like I think it’s bad or too small, but people who have the second reaction generally like bigger and “more”.

It’s the perfect size for me, wouldn’t choose a bigger one even for the same price.

Yep, we almost always find out the worst shit many years after it happened. And I’m pretty sure the absolutely worst stuff just never comes out.

4000 bookmarks is nothing, neither is 12gb. I seriously don’t understand how anyone could think even jokingly saying that’s “the whole internet”.

Not familiar with the host, but he looks like if Alton Brown and James Corden had a baby.

It’s definitely not only that.
I and, from what I’ve seen discussed here and elsewhere online, many other people have stopped watching the channel because of many valid reasons completely unrelated to AI. I haven’t watched a single one of their videos for years, something changed in their content and I just lost interest. Then there have been several controversial events throughout the years, both objective bad stuff and subjective things that made many loose interest and faith in their integrity. They definitely became one of the many channels that lost it’s way because of how big it got. The animations became too “perfect” in a weird way, they lost their personality and they also got scared of having real opinions so they started doing this “all sides” shit and that’s when I tapped out. I’ve tried to watch new videos from them about once every 6 months or so, but I can’t even make it past a minute without completely loosing interest.

Then don’t do that thing, leave it where it can cleaned up by someone you paid to clean it up or only bring things where the trash you leave behind is environmentally friendly and can degrade naturally. There is absolutely no valid reason you can give for this. You’re literally excusing hurting nature because someone decided to do something that they couldn’t handle, how does that make sense?

*What do you call this

Eh, I think it’s just what always happens: they act like children in the way that they do shit to see what they can get away with.
The reasons for doing so are harder to know, and never exactly the same but generally rooted in hate, fear and narcissim. They start doing shit and examine how the world reacts, then tiptoes the line of what would bring out actual response and get them killed or in any other way stopped.
Then it’s about if they get to some kind of place where they feel comfortable and don’t push it more or they get overconfident and actually do step over the line and get shut down by any of the many possible ways that can happen.
This happens everywhere all the time in all different levels possible. Between two toddlers at a play date, bosses and their employees all the way to countries and world powers. And in our fictional stories (and possible futures) between planets, solar systems, galaxies and whole universes.

Why watch playthroughs at all? Just wait till the games are on sale. And only a year isn’t that long, wait more and get better deals with more complete games. There’s nothing saying you need to hurry in any way, and several things saying it’s a good idea to wait. There are more than enough games available for anyone to not have to constantly claw at the newest releases in any way.

Your brain certainly works like it’s mostly useless fat, but it’s probably just empty space in there.

Dude(ette), I have nothing to do with this self hosting thing and even I knew years ago plex was shit. It’s been extremely obvious just from browsing reddit (before leaving) and lemmy. I don’t know anything about any of this other than plex having an extremely bad reputation. How did you manage to become part of this and still chose to use it?

Sweden really isn’t “infected by far-right populism”. I’m not saying it hasn’t gone more to the right and there aren’t issues but it’s far from what you said. Comparing Hungary to Sweden is like comparing a rabid wolf to a poodle.

Bly in Swedish. But we add some weirdness to the Bly part so a “lead pencil” is blyertspenna (“penna” meaning pencil). I can’t think of another word where that specific addiction is used, and I have no idea what it means.

Ism

I’m waiting for it to become “free”, no idea how long that’ll take though.

This brought back a memory: two kids put laxatives in the school food at my school in 2004, same day that halo 2 was released and I had pre-booked it so I skipped lunch that day to go get it. A few students and I think two teachers who were the first to get to the cafeteria had already gotten toiled bound by the time I got back. And I think only three kids actually shat themselves. They cancelled school for the rest of the day and I was one of the few students in my age group who hadn’t eaten there so I just went home and had such a good time playing the game and laughing my ass off about the whole situation.

Title gore.

This whole thread is just Americans saying things that they don’t have that is common elsewhere. And that isn’t answering the question at all. It’s the ever present thing of 'Murican idiocy thinking only about the US and acting like anything else doesn’t exist.

Oh look, another 'Murican “only the US exists” type comment.

Public transportation is common worldwide.
