“Tim Onion” is so clever due to it’s visual resemblance of “The Onion”.

“Tim” and “The” have the same visual profile (width/ height distribution and curved letters), so if you squint your eyes, they look very similar.

You need to either go to Canada or a Canadian embassy (hockey rink).

That just reinforces the fact that it’s an actual genocide. If the general population wasn’t just being murdered en masse, the statistics would skew towards military targets.

You can’t actually be this ignorant…

You might be younger or forgetting but before Obama it was George W., definitely not controversial… And before that there was more controversy. Americans have always had divisive elections, but there’s been a noticable uptick in the elections involving Trump.

accelerate the velocity of development

Honestly I believe them. Because velocity is a vector, development going directly backwards at an accelerating rate is in line with what they said.

Clearly enough to post about how little you care lmao

I’m not even American and I can unfortunately assure you that their election will affect you no matter where you live

When I first saw this I realized I had assumed Dr. Pepper (beyond the drink) was a man, but I think for me it was because as a kid I remember commercials with a deep voiced man and my dumb kid brain thought that was the doctor.

I’m part of society and just collapsed from a panic attack.

I’'m doing my part!

Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our memes.

Actually I am a paleontologist and coincidentally I do have a new discovery. I call it “Largefoot”, or it’s taxonomically correct name, Largus Footus. I would show my definitive proof but I left it in a pocket of my other sweatpants.

Kids these days can’t even read Standard Babylonian 😔

It’s no secret that the “i” in “Gilgamesh” stands for “ipad”.

But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy “whataboutism” to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn’t mean it’s not worth criticizing.

As for individualism, it’s no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.

I disagree. Nintendo isn’t just some company that has legal beef and comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.

Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don’t just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people’s lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.

You know, you don’t have to obey the laws of gravity. I mean who’s going to stop you, the police?

That’s like whining that everyone hates Blizzard or Ubisoft because of some hive mind mentality. Could it be that maybe it’s just a commonly hated company based off their unethical actions over the last 10+ years?

I don’t want to advocate for shoveling money into any company, but if you could sell your steam games it would screw over indie devs in a big way. Many games made by small studies or one person don’t have as much content as AAA studies and would be far more prone to a small handful of copies being distributed back and forth on the used market instead of each being a sale that goes to the developer.

Some devs would see a drop in sales as much as 90% and I just don’t think it’s worth it to shoot the gaming industry in the foot like that.

I’m a simple man. I see “Nestle” and my rage knows no bounds.
