perhaps they got inspired somewhere.

Thankfully, humans are on track to all be very dead by then.

I’m not much of a wine person, but if I’m still around and not disappeared to a camp, I’m gonna knock back a bottle of champagne when it happens. I’ve already made my peace with the fact he’ll never see justice for anything he’s done, but god willing I’ll get to read his obituary with a shit-eating grin on my face.

no, next time just don’t suck him off make sweeping claims of someone’s impeccable character unless you’re prepared for someone else who’s had personal experience to the contrary to pipe up. That’d be good enough.

if that’s too much of an ask I can always just block you as well, though, I genuinely don’t care. Out of sight, out of mind.

edit: goodness, that’s a long reply and from just skimming the start of it, it seems you went to a lot of trouble to make a strawman. Too bad I ain’t reading allat, you take care now.

You can have whatever opinion about the guy you want, I was just offering that I’ve had personal experience with someone you classify as “the most helpful and drama-free” being anything but, and if he got banned he probably deserved it. I’m very sorry I don’t feel like digging through every comment I’ve/he’s ever written to go and remember exactly why I think he’s an obnoxious dickhead, all I can remember is that I’ve interacted with him, and he was enough of an obnoxious dickhead to justify blocking him. You’re welcome to go do so if you don’t believe me.

How did dbzer0 pick literally the most helpful and drama-free of all possible Lemmy users to ban? As far as I can tell, literally the only thing the dude does is post about cool stuff and chat. I didn’t even know he was active as a moderator in any real capacity.

hmm now I’m curious

>checks

AHAHAHAHA no. Funny, but no. I have that dude blocked, I can’t remember exactly why but I’ve had him blocked for at least a year and I remember his username and him being a twat, I just don’t care enough to go looking up how he was a twat.

remember, if you had fun while wasting time, it wasn’t a waste of time at all.

now if only it wasn’t a chrome fork/Eich would take a long walk off a short pier.

alas, a man can dream.

you’re entitled to your own opinion, but I’ve never had anything but good experiences with my own Brother laser printer. I was the one who picked it out and bought it since my family needed to print a lot of stuff and I didn’t want to deal with troubleshooting it for them, and it has been by far the most reliable, easy to use printer any of us have ever dealt with. We used to have shitty HP inkjets, and those can all die in a fire along with HP.

And uses that peroxide to crap explosions at things. Extremely hardcore.

[having an identity crisis] It’s-a-me? Mario?

It did at launch, then they nerfed it in the dark days of early patches.

I miss the ludicrous 1200RPM mode.

No, it wasn’t very practical, but was practicality ever the point? Of anything in this game?

There’s those of us who remember being sold complete products for our entertainment and don’t like being milked, and those of us (unfortunately) who grew up only having ever known incomplete games that the developers drip-feed back to the consumer in the form of DLC.

Some games are going to fuck you over, some quite badly, and some games will not. Helldivers 2 and DRG don’t, or at least, don’t yet. Enshittification comes for everything, eventually, especially with Sony and Tencent having their fingers in the pie; so get in while the gettin’s good. The day HD2 starts making the microtransactions painful, I’m outta here.

[with visibly bloodshot eyes] “Nah, man, I disagree with your definition there.”

like I know it’s a science meme but both the stoner and the linguistics guy inside me go “but wait, there’s more…”

Oh there wasn’t any doubt on my part that he knew about it – terrible people, especially terrible wealthy and powerful people, hang out together all the time – just that he may or may not have “participated”. Now I’m quite certain.

You know, when Elon said Trump was on the list, I figured there was about an 85-90% chance that was true. Like, given all the photos of Trump and Epstein together, I found it a very plausible claim, but I was also quite aware that Elon is a ketamine addicted narcissist and pathological bullshitter, so I figured there was at least some chance he was pulling it out of his ass just to fuck with Trump.

Now, however, I am 100% certain that not only does that list exist/existed, but also that Trump is/was on it. Unfortunately, chances are good we’ll now never have proof. I’d not be surprised if the past few weeks have been them burning and shredding every trace of evidence in somewhat of a panic after Elon tried playing that card, just to take it out of his deck.

“no guys it’s totally not an echo chamber, we just ban and/or relentlessly attempt to troll anyone with a differing opinion than ours!”

I’d say it’s an impressive level of cognitive dissonance, but then, you’d already have to have that to believe China is a socialist utopia. Really it’s just Tuesday for them.

Right? Filter out enormous swathes of obnoxious shitheads from your feed in one fell swoop!

Sounds like a you problem.
