Yet another victim of . No, we’re not the same person, part of Hexbear’s site culture is that we don’t have downvotes so people who disagree with something have to articulate that disagreement instead of just downvoting because they don’t like it.

But OK, I’ll accept your unevidenced claim that Mexico is a “narcostate”, and even your wild notion that race and racism is unrelated to cultures, because I’m not asking about either of those things: I asked you to explain your idea that Mexico is a narcostate because of the culture.

Then I’m sure you’ll be able to explain your thesis, instead of dismissing everyone else as ignorant.

Technically Far Cry: Blood Dragon was a standalone expansion rather than DLC for 3, but it blew every other far cry game out of the water.

This is about Ukraine, not Palestine.

SteamOS and Bazzite are certainly contributing among gamers, but there also seem to be a lot of casual users moving to Mint and pop!_os. I’ve seen quite a few people using them to extend the life of older hardware.

…are you talking about browsing history? I mean obviously the LLM and video/audio/3d search is wishful thinking, but it remembers the pages you visited already, you don’t need to keep the tab open.

No, stop that, your computer doesn’t deserve that kind of abuse.

Yeah honestly this is like the Tesla “bomb” - until more information comes out to show otherwise it just did that.

Admittedly the Tesla didn’t just do that, but still…

Donations are the Devs income stream, so they are in fact paying for .ml out of their own pocket. “funding development” doesn’t actually mean anything beyond “paying the developer’s wages” for Lemmy, so once you’ve paid them you don’t get a choice in how they spend their income.

Major spoilers for A2, but it opens at a school in the town of St. Ivalice before the protagonist awakens in Ivalice roughly circa ffxii. It eventually turns out that another kid at school found a magic book or something and recreated the world as they want it to be, so you have to get them to wake up to return the world to how it was.

Theres nothing in the game to clarify whether that means any of the events happened in the timeline or not, or what it means for the other games.

Somewhere between most and all of the Ivalice games are confirmed to take place in the same timeline, though the entire place may just be a child’s dream so :shrug:

The timeline is something like XII->tactics a2->tactics->vagrant story->tactics advance, with legendary events between a2 and tactics that lock off magic.

According to the modlog you went on a marxist leninist instance and started calling people tankies. What is surprising about that? Why do you expect Dessalines, whose username is taken from the leader of the Haitian revolution, to side with you?

Hey fuckface, I hope your evening was shit, now are you going to continue being an antisemite or are you going to delete your comments now they’re been proven baseless.

Literally voting for your reps is not what the government of Russia is, though…

THEY HAD ELECTIONS IN MARCH YOU DUMB FUCK

IT JUST HAPPENED

THEY LITERALLY JUST DID ELECTION BUT YOU’RE SO FUCKING BUSY HUFFING YOUR OWN FARTS YOU DIDN’T NOTICE

Oh, you’re just stupid. YES SWEETIE, OBVIOUSLY THE RUSSIANS ARE FASCISTS, YOU KEEP EATING YOUR OATMEAL AND WATCHING FOX NEWS.

I will pedant your debatefetishist asshole in half, fuck face:

Let’s get up a definition of oligarchy, shall we? You’re gonna run to Wikipedia or dictionary.com so I’ll just go for Wikipedia:

Oligarchy (from Ancient Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía) ‘rule by few’; from ὀλίγος (olígos) ‘few’ and ἄρχω (árkhō) ‘to rule, command’)[1][2][3] is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.

Now, in the UK, there’s a population of around 70 million people, with 650 elected members of government and 805 unelected members, making up a rounding error of the total population.

In America, over 300 million people are represented by 535 members of its senate, plus a handful of unelected judges and executive legislators. Again, they make up a rounding error of the population.

France - 66 million, 925. Germany - 85 million, 733. Norway - 5 and a half million, 169. By all means, include the family members and hangers-on who aren’t actively in power but still weild it, and you could quadruple or quintuple those numbers. Doesn’t really matter, still comes out to a rounding error.

Maybe instead of jacking yourself off over liberalism you should take a moment to actually step back and look at the situation a little more objectively. Being able to vote for which people the power rests with does not increase the number of people welding it.

what the fuck do you think liberal western democracy is, dumbass

Imagine how stupid anachronist is gonna look when they find out we already know. Russia has been a liberal western democracy for over 30 years now.

disgusting pipelines controlled by fascist capitalists

It wasnt Germany who controlled it, it just delivered the gas to them, it was Russia who controlled it.

You genuinely think that someone who specifically wants to kill you making preparations from which they can kill you is fine, as long as they don’t actually kill you? You’re not a tiny bit bothered by the possibility of them actually killing you?
