The Game Awards is just a circle jerk for multi-million dollar corporations, isn’t it?

ImplyingImplications,

I’m going to show you how to create a folder in Windows 10, but first, we need to talk about parallel universes.

ImplyingImplications,

Youtube sometimes strikes videos that are black screens with no audio so it isn’t the greatest system to rely on.

ImplyingImplications,

I haven’t worn a poppy for years. Arguments can be made that WWI was an important part of Canadian history as it is essentially the start of our independence, and WWII is always framed as a battle against evil (although allied countries were mostly fighting to prevent invasions of territory, not against the holocaust. Canada turned away Jewish refugees during WWII after all). Remembering these wars for their historical significance is fine.

I really don’t see how any other wars or conflicts that Canadian soldiers have been sent to can be seen as heroic or deserving of honour. Year after year, Rememberance Day and the poppy are less about “Remember the sacrifices of WWI that lead to our independence and to end the atrocities commited by totalitarian governments in WWII” and more US-style hero worship of the military. A military that isn’t used for national defence or to defend the weak and innocent from evil but as a political tool to ensure natural resources from developing nations keep flowing into our ports. I get why it’s necessary, but I don’t think it should be glorified.

ImplyingImplications,

It’s the trickle monster I’m coming to trickle down!

Police hate the one trick of exercising your right to silence and contacting an attorney.

If you’re actually trying to manage your weight, do not increase your physical activity. Reduce how much you eat.

Most sites say running burns around 60 Calories/km or 100 Calories/mile. The average person burns 2,000 Calories a day by existing. If you ran a 10k every day, then you’d be using 2,600 Calories a day.

The difference in effort between “existing” and “runs a 10k every day” is massive, but the difference in Calories burned is equivalent to a large fry from McDonalds. So would you rather run a 10k or just take the fries out of your order?

When someone’s on trial for a crime, the state often needs to prove the person intended to commit the crime. Trump saying he intended to use those documents to secure a loan proves intent.

The court has already established the documents contained knowingly false information, with the residence that Trump has lived in for decades being listed as 3x its actual size. Even conservatively, his property holdings were overestimated by $812 million. The judge ruled there was no way that could be considered an accident.

So the court has ruled that the documents are knowingly false, and now Trump stated he intended to use them to get a loan. No lawyer in the world could get Trump out of this one.

“So, do you do a lot of PCP?”
“Got a gallon.”

ImplyingImplications,

Exactly. People shouldn’t misunderestimate the power of using a word wrong.

ImplyingImplications,

It’s mostly trolls trolling trolls. The person who wrote this probably did it trying to sound like some unhinged conspiracy theorist as a joke, and people probably replied as if it was a work of genius as a joke. The problem is “any community that gets its laughs by acting like idiots will soon be filled with actual idiots who believe they are in good company.” There are most definitely people who believe literally everything contains coded messages from the deep state revealing their shadowy agenda of making everything gay.

One time a girl in my computer class kept asking me for help. She’d ask me to stand behind her and point to where she should click. She asked if the view was nice, which was weird since it’s just a computer screen. Eventually, she decided I should move her hand while it was still on the mouse. That happened a lot and I always thought “wow this girl really doesn’t get computers.”

I was in my late 20s before I realized she wanted me to look down her top and touch her hand. She must have been thinking “wow this guy really doesn’t get women”

ImplyingImplications,

t-thanks

ImplyingImplications,

So I think what you’re saying is that you’ve created a Lemmy instance and joined a community from another Lemmy instance but you can’t see all the posts?

My understanding is that your instance will only start syncing content from that community AFTER someone on your instance joins it. If you’re the first person on your instance to join cats then you won’t see anything from before the moment you joined, but you will get all the content that is posted after you joined. If you aren’t the first person on your instance to join then you’ll be able to see older posts.

ImplyingImplications,

Tell that to all the amateur porn creators! Lemmy is severely lacking content in that category unfortunately

ImplyingImplications,

Hell Pie is pretty much a reskin of A Hat in Time if you like the gameplay. However, the theme is toilet humour so it definitely isn’t cutesy.

ImplyingImplications,

I worked for a company that served clients on a first come, first served basis. Clients would complain about wait times. The bosses decided to create a priority fee where clients could pay extra to be put into a priority queue. Guess what happened? Literally every client paid to be in the priority queue. Wait times didn’t change one bit, but the bosses were laughing about suddenly making $500 extra per client with zero changes to business.

ImplyingImplications,

People don’t realize how much data is collected, how it’s analyzed to determine things about you, and how it’s given out to nearly anyone. Here are some concerning examples that hopefully speak for themselves.

Data from fitness app Strava was used to locate secret US military bases in Afghanistan and Iraq by some random guy on Twitter. He did this by pointing out people running in squares in the middle of the desert. Imagine what America’s enemies could do with this information that this company will sell to anyone.

Ad company Xandr allows you to target audiences with labels like “Recently purchased a pregnancy test”, “Has a large gambling debt”, and “Has depression”. Once again, this is freely available for anyone to purchase. These tracking companies find out things that are very personal to you and then sell that info to people who might not have your best interests in mind.

Last but not least. Governments and law enforcement can access this information at any time for any purpose. Do you really want the government and police agencies to have a database of people grouped by their religious and political beliefs or their sexual orientation?

Hopefully you can see why the information being collected and given out to anyone is concerning. As to how to avoid it, I’m not sure there is any way besides government regulation. Maybe someone else has some answers!

ImplyingImplications,

The type of identity theft where you live as another person isn’t common in the modern age where births and deaths are absolutely tracked accurately.

Modern identity theft is using someone’s personal information to get a credit card in their name or access to their bank account. You call up customer support and say “I’m John Smith and I need my account reset” and when they say “please prove your John Smith” you often times only need date of birth, address, phone number, email, mother’s maiden name, or something else literally anyone could find out about you. If there’s something they don’t know they can sometimes convince customer service by getting angry and yelling until the minimum wage worker decides to give the scammer access.

When people talk about online privacy, they often mean this. I’ll admit that as a kid I used to gain access to people’s emails just by looking at the stuff they posted on their public Facebook page. The answer to their password reset security question was almost always there. I never went further than that, but once you have access to one thing, you can usually get access to other things.

The controversial monument, already $6 million over its original cost estimate of $1.5 million and years behind schedule, gained national attention in 2021 when CBC News reported that commemorative “virtual bricks” were purchased to pay tribute to an assortment of suspected war criminals, fascists and Nazi collaborators.

Something really ironic about Harper’s Conservative government giving $4.3 million in public funds to erect a monument to former fascists calling them “victims of communism”.

These all sound like insults I’d hear in a Monty Python sketch

ImplyingImplications,

It was phrased to be insulting on purpose because it’s a joke.

ImplyingImplications,

Oh it’s ice! Because they’re not dressed for the cold weather! Now I get it

ImplyingImplications,

I think if you’re going to sit alone in the corner of the bar and drink, you need to be wearing a cloak

ImplyingImplications,

That is the flag of the Republic of China (more often called Taiwan). You’re mixing it up with the People’s Republic of China (more often called China).

ImplyingImplications,

I looked at losses as an opportunity to improve. I’ll review the game, find my mistakes, and learn how to avoid them in the future. So when I lost at Crazy 8s I’d study. Just joking! I honestly don’t care about Crazy 8s that much to study my losses. What am I trying to go pro??

I eventually realized that this applied to every game. I’m not going to be a pro chess player. I’m not going to be a pro bowler. I don’t care that much to put the time and effort into studying and training the intricacies of Counter Strike. I’m just trying to have fun! That’s when losing stopped bothering me so much.

Colorado cannot ban unproven abortion pill reversal treatment, judge says (www.reuters.com)

U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico said in an opinion on Saturday that a Colorado law banning so-called medication abortion reversal treatment likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom. His order stops the state from enforcing the law against Bella Health and Wellness, which sued to block it, or...

ImplyingImplications,

Allowing unproven medical procedures on the basis of religious freedom is truly a wacky preposition.

ImplyingImplications,

I wondered that when I saw whitepeopletwitter and animetitties in my feed. You can name communities anything you want here! You don’t need to use subreddit names that were created in protest of other subreddits. Just name them Tweets and World News.

ImplyingImplications,

The more a company spends on advertising, the more they sell. You might be annoyed by the ads, but somewhere someone pulled out their credit card watching the exact same thing.

Hey, is that Simu? Not every Asian man is-HOLY SHIT IT’S SIMU!

Do you think the Internet and websites with 'voting' systems encourage hivemind thinking and discourage any debate or discourse? Solutions?

I ‘upvote’ more or less all posts I interact with (sometimes I forget to vote). I feel like we should bring back open dialogues and heavily dissuade people from simply disregarding someone’s entire belief system or ideals based on 200 characters of text (an example)....

ImplyingImplications,

I like the feature where a post’s score is hidden for the first 30 minutes or so. People are very critical of posts with a score of 0 or -1, but if a post is new it really isn’t hard to dip into the negatives. Hiding the score for the first few minutes prevents a post from being reflexively downvoted just because the first two people who seen it disagreed.

ImplyingImplications,

They mistakenly believe they are a company that generates amazing content instead of being a company that hosts amazing content generated by others. It’s the same problem Twitter, Youtube, and many other content hosting platforms have.

ImplyingImplications,

Is this loss?

ImplyingImplications,

This also works for Magic The Gathering.

This lady needs her own Canadian Heritage Minute

ImplyingImplications,

I have cancelled you. It’s unfortunate it had to come to this…

A feature of Boost for Lemmy: “tag user”

ImplyingImplications,

The different boards of 4chan have vastly different cultures. The tech board isn’t much different than what you’d find on Lemmy. It’s filled with Linux and Free Open Source Software geeks who love to interject argue over the finer points of operating systems.

There was a poster on 4chan’s math and science board who solved a previously unsolved math problem.

The video game board sometimes sings songs from games

A large scale protest against Scientology also started on 4chan.

The negative stuff you hear about 4chan almost always stems from the boards that have little to no moderation. The boards with moderation aren’t much different than Reddit or Twitter. Actually, Twitter might be worse nowadays.

ImplyingImplications,

I’m vegetarian. Western food is so focused on meat that people often have no idea how to make a meal that doesn’t contain it. My mother once asked me how to make a vegetarian version of Chicken Parmesan. So keep the tomato sauce, cheese, and spices, but swap out the chicken with pasta. Congrats you’ve made vegetarian Chicken Parmesan. I like to call it Spaghetti.

ImplyingImplications,

The title of the comic is “Tax Deductions” so I can assume Oglaf is satirizing working class people who worship capitalists.

ImplyingImplications,

My ex is fat now too. Now I know why she would always ask me “Would you still love me if I was fat?”

ImplyingImplications,

Technically it’s bigotry since it’s Indians hating other Indians, but yes, India has a lot of problems and those in power mostly ignore them.
