Goodbye fellow users of the best Lemmy instance. Lemm.ee, you will be missed.

You never forget your first

I don’t love their decision to defederate hexbear, but otherwise I like this instance.

Not to say I don’t understand their reasoning for defederating, because I do, I just prefer as little defeds as possible aside from corporate influence (fuck threads)

I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.

I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

I use Infinitebacklog, which is basically the video games version of what letterboxd is for films or rateyourmusic is for music

Bro I love Cryptopsy, their album None So Vile slays!

You don’t call for a flag on the play when it’s your team causing the penalty

Lol, imagine thinking you’re allowed a momentary reprieve from advertising in this hellscape of a world we’ve built.

This has always been the point.

It has never been about which restroom trans people use, it was always been about being able to harass and vilify trans people.

The right doesn’t want to just enforce gender binary, they want to erase anything and anyone that falls outside it.

Air is a gaseous fluid.

This is just how birds look at all of us.

Sure, she’s probably not the reason the film is bad.

That being said, I have never once seen her in anything and not thought “god, couldn’t they have cast anyone else?” So like, she sure as hell didn’t help this film, or any other she’s been in.

And on top of being a bad actress and a fairly unlikeable person in appearances, she’s an enormous nepo-baby.

So somehow she managed to be no wrong here, but also entirely wrong here.

If “everyone” keeps reading a sentiment you did not intend out of your message, perhaps it is time to consider that you are doing a poor job of communicating your point.

Or you’re being disingenuous and just don’t like being calling on your hissy fit.

I dunno, take your pick.

I see this kind of comment before and I will never understand it - “other companies do it so just bend over and let us do it to you too!”

People say this all the time about Denuvo too: “Other games already have Denuvo, why are you crying about it here when you’re playing other games?”

And see, that’s the problem - we aren’t playing those other Denuvo games. And same thing applies here, guess what, a lot of us aren’t buying games from gross companies like EA with these shit terms. So when a company we are doing business with suddenly changes their terms to be shit, that’s a valid complaint. Some of us have already been boycotting bad business practices in the industry, so the idea of company changing terms towards the boycott after we’ve already invested in the game feels like a betrayal because it is.

So maybe stop focusing on what you assume the rest of audience is doing and instead go back to focusing on what the people at the goddamn podium are trying to pull?

Frequently the point of comparing the two is to caution before they actually become comparable, though. I think it’s intentional hyperbole to make a stark point, not an insensitive reduction.

Nobody else has even heard of my favorite film.

A Pyromaniac’s Love Story

SEO is part of it, but it’s also literally just more physical real estate for ads. Recipe sites, including personal recipe blogs, are infamous for the sheer volume of ads placed on them. Yes, everyone just scrolls to the recipe so it kind of doesn’t matter, but longer text means more space for ads.

Dude just wants whatever has a dragon, wolf, or forest on it, he ain’t thinking deeper than that.

Bro’s penis must be almost an innie.

No, I’m pretty sure it means being or becoming a weeb

Well I’m forty now and about 6 months ago I decided that after nearly 30 years of listening to metal music I was going to finally learn how to do harsh vocals/metal screaming. Still an enormous amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but basically just this week I finally got to the point where I don’t hate listening to my own screams.

So uh, whatever you wanna call that midlife crisis, that’s mine.
