  • ITT: Americans debating whether choosing between “the ONLY two choices they have” is good or bad, completely forgetting revolts exist and completely disregarding their beloved 2nd amendment.

    A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    Sounds like you aren’t free anymore. You can removed and moan about only having two choices all you want. If you vote Trump/Kamala/3rd party instead of taking up arms, overthrowing your state government and forcing your state to secede until the elections are changed to no longer be FPTP, then you are tacitly supporting genocide.

    But maybe it was really hard to consider such extreme actions. Well, now you know what the anti-genocide choice is. Let’s see if you risk your lives to stop your government from being genocidal fucks, or if you’re gonna do nothing about it because you’ve been completely pacified as a nation and are now unable to even consider fighting against tyrants. If you’ll excuse me, I’m not gonna hold my breath.



  • It hurts to do this, because you’ve obviously thought out your comment and you obviously like the game and want to believe the devs are doing their best. But I think your entire premise is wrong

    To combat Chinese gold farmers, Blizzard started selling gold in a bit of a roundabout way

    Why do you think this? Why do you grant a greedy game dev the benefit of the doubt? They’re cashing in on Chinese gold farmers in all possible ways, man:

    1. By allowing their accounts to exist instead of banning and moving on
    2. By controlling the value of gold with a cash shop, ensuring economy is in their favor
    3. The cash shop also brings them monetary value.

    They are triple dipping, and you choose to believe they are doing it because they’re a good game dev.

    A good game dev would ban accounts guilty of real money trading. A good game dev would fix the in-game economy with in-game methods. A good game dev wouldn’t have micro transactions in a subscription game. You want to believe Blizzard is doing this because of those evil Chinese farmers - I’m here to tell you they’re profiting from this and don’t have the morals to make it right.






  • Not sure. I can’t remember right now why I blocked dbzer0 completely, but my filters are blocking this instance. Which I guess is another side of the same coin: defederation (and allowing entire instances to be blocked) also contributes to fragmentation of communities. I had no idea the largest piracy community is on dbzer0, so I would subscribe to another piracy community on another instance, and thus split the memberships even more.



  • Effective? No. Considering the purpose of all internet communities is to grow and have diversity, it’s not effective. Aside from the currently low number of users, the fact that you can have the same community in different instances means a community will never grow large enough. Add to that the “you’re literally killing children if you’re a centrist” people and all the tankies, and what you have here is a leftist circlejerk that will remain small and irelevant enough to suit its need to be an echo chamber without any actual diversity. So maybe it’s effective from that point of view? Idk.






  • men are the primary perpetrators

    the number of women who do it is such a small percentage as to be almost statistically insignificant compared to the number of men who do.

    Men commit sexual assault every single day

    barely 5% of them get prosecuted for it.

    Citation needed

    Listen, it’s very obvious we’re not on the same page. You’re responding to a comment thread that contains a comment literally contradicting most of your points, and you’re not being rational about it. You’re spouting wild claims with little regard for backing them up - it’s as if în your head, they’re axioms and not only do they not require proof, but invalidating them would mean the rest of the world crumbles. And I’m sure for you, that’s true.

    All things considered, continuing this “discussion” brings no value to either of us. Have a good one.
