Thanks to Morrowind and Skyrim i still find myself absent-mindedly noticing “alchemy ingredients” when walking through the woods on hiking/camping trips, despite the fact that I haven’t played either game in a couple years at this point.

Good point, we should stop giving that fucking mooch money while we’re at it.

Ah right, because allowing fascists a platform to lie to people has worked out sooooo goddamn well in recent history.

Keep licking those boots bud.

I don’t give a fuck what you have to say and I’m not going to listen to you if you say it, and I’m certainly not going to let you walk into my house and spew your bullshit genocidal lies.

There, did I stifle your free speech? No, I didn’t.

It’s no different from what these congresspeople are doing. To say nothing of the fact that Netanyahu isn’t a fucking US citizen so the bill of rights doesn’t apply to him anyway

As long as you don’t overload the turntable motor. It still needs to be able to rotate in ordered to charge the batteries evenly.

It’s been bad for a few years at least but it has gotten even worse recently, I assume due to incorporating AI/LLM’s into the mix.

I comprehended it just fine, doesn’t change the fact that yes, it really is that simple. If you don’t like what a company is doing, don’t use their products. It’s not “legitimizing bad behavior”, it’s communicating with the company in the only language that a company that isn’t charging you for their product could possibly understand: market share. Nobody at Mozilla gives a shit about what some tiny niche fraction of their userbase is bitching about on Lemmy, they give a shit about whether or not they’re getting stomped into the dirt by chrome.

You guys are just having a giant, meaningless circlejerk.

The problem with GDP per capita is that it conveniently overlooks the possibility that a lot of that GDP is artificially inflated thanks to money that never actually moves around and stimulates the economy, because that country is a tax haven for foreigners and shell corporations, which is pretty common in the Caribbean.

Head to Nassau and walk around sometime, let me know if you still think the Bahamas is in good financial shape.

But I agree, rainwater collection is what they’ve been doing for hundreds of years, they just need to find ways to do it more efficiently.

Yeah but then you’ll miss the part where the female protagonist rationalizes herself into being ok with getting raped because the man was stronger than her so he had the right to do it.

Actually I might be thinking of atlas shrugged now that I think about it.

Probably has something to do with the fact that desalinization plants are ridiculously expensive when you live on the same land mass as the factories that are building all the parts for them, and the price rises dramatically when it all has to be loaded up onto container ships, transported to you, and then built by a foreign company, and most of those island nations are incredibly broke.
