I’m sure.its a bit of that too, but I do feel like the ultimate reason is still, “well why are you taking time off to do something that isn’t only benefitting you?”

basically the same mindset that created this culture is what developed compensation for our time, as opposed to just taking the loss for the day to do a good thing.

Damn right! Damn hell ass right!

You lack the cultural lens of America. About half of our country governs from the perspective of “why should I?” with the most negative and self-preserving mindset possible.

Why should I pay for others healthcare, even if it means they pay for mine? Why should I donate my blood if it doesn’t benefit me?

Solve that problem by giving you $25-100 for your “donations”

You have to scroll up some, it goes that far over because of the word wormhole

I have been encountering it more lately, but that’s because of the types of sites I was using.

The ones that may not work tend to be; banking (usually okay though), work-related (ranging from applications to gig work to job specific), and then if you happen to run into something that requires chromium as a way to function, such as some specific extensions or most functional web music creation tools, like MIDI support.

B-b-b-buuuuut I only use Firefox and all my stock and banking sites work fine on FF, those job sites that needed chromium can get by with Edge, and if you’re using web browsers for MIDI tools, really, what are you doing?

Linking my first post on Lemmy regarding Meta Services having a service on your phone. Worth checking out.

I can’t remember, are bone spurs a disability?

It’s funny, I’ve been thinking a lot about people’s acknowledgement of faults or shortcomings and choosing to ignore them, whether it’s because they agree, don’t care, or think it doesn’t matter. Or don’t agree and there’s no better alternative, or it’s the least bad alternative. I dunno.

In the public internet spaces like Facebook, discord, the others, I’ve been seeing a lot of this happening recently with Linkin Park’s new singer. Some are happy and ignorant, some know and don’t care, some know and are saddened. There is a lot of vitrol between the people who know and are saddened and the people who don’t know/don’t care. This is just one example from this week, but it happens every week to every story. It can be, probably, literally applied to anything. People’s level of information heavily biases them from their predisposed beliefs (as in, if they already have an opinion, chances are that the opinion will not change when presented with new information).

In our spaces I see it with Brave. I see it with Kagi. We all saw it with Unity en masse and something actually happened about that, but even so people are still using Unity today, albeit I would guess out of necessity, or now ignorance since time has passed (not saying ignorance here is a fault). Before then we saw it with Audacity. Can’t forget Reddit, where a significant chunk of users are now participating here instead. And… yet… Reddit still exists, nearly in full.

It’s such a crazy phenomena with how opinions are formed from emotional judgements based on the level of information they have, and due to our current state of informational sharing there are microcosms of willful ignorance. And some aren’t ignorant, it just doesn’t matter to them.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentlemen

Most things by Henry James

James Joyce has a good catalogue, I recommend treating a book like the Odyssey as a college course and reading prerequisite reading such as A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the original Odyssey (and it’s precursor the Iliad).

This should be a good years worth on its own!

It will be delisted on the 9th

I think as long as we don’t give them thumbs we should be okay, right?

Which inherently makes it so that specific demographics of people will never be able to use it.

Or a crocodile

I can’t recall any popups when I use G-Suite Apps on Firefox. I use Keep Notes, Docs, Excel.

The main thing I notice is the imposed loading time (Gmail animation takes like 10 seconds on FF and seemingly doesn’t exist on Chrome)

I grew up in the Bay Area so it would probably be easier to list the foods I haven’t tried.

Unfortunately I moved and don’t have access to 8/9ths of those anymore. It’s dismal.

Yeah that’s the exact vibe I get from it too

Right, regarding that list of don’ts, I do understand the Covid one. The others I agree, not good to push a narrative for your reviewers.

Sorry lol. If you’ve followed this game, is there anything about it to you that aligns with articles about it being not, or anti-feminist?

The rest of my previous comment is me wondering what factors are influencing the reception of the game, like the studio or the use of source material, muddled by a 6 day work week lol

Have you followed the game at all? I’ve only seen gameplay videos from one person, and I haven’t seen much going either way to be able to say if the game is or isn’t. I can’t really tell if it’s following specific the specific story either, as the footage is pretty edited.

There’s 4 women characters I’ve seen so far, one was a goddess and the other three were family (mother and 2 daughters) and it was an unusual dynamic but I also didn’t get the full perspective because it was a pretty edited gameplay video – so the story for me isn’t very coherent at the moment.

I’ve been wondering if it’s the studio itself or is it putting a lens on the game because of those accusations or if it’s something about the game itself which I haven’t seen yet. If it’s heavily following ancient Chinese myths then I mean… Games about the Greek gods would probably be facing the same issues if they followed it to those stories.

So is the issue that it wasn’t adapted? Or was adapted but not with a feminist lens? I’ve seen a fair amount of gameplay and I’ve seen a fair amount of widely varying opinions from various articles, but I haven’t seen anything specific about it. Just claims of accusations, lost in translations, and that it’s not feminist.

I also haven’t really looked into it, since Lemmy doesn’t have a lot of threads of this sort of thing. This is the second post I’ve even seen about the game on here or Mastodon, and the other post was just the digital foundry performance video on the game.

Not economically viable until the regular sugar is not longer subsidized.

If the cocoa was subsidized then it probably would be, lol
