For judges, I mostly look for key backers. For example, teachers union shows support? I’m in. Moms for Liberty or anything with “Patriot”? Instant vote against. Or I read the voters pamphlet for dog whistles. If neither pan out, then I actually have to do research, ugh.

Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.

I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:

The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).

On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!

The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!

Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.

I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful

Santa’s Red suit was a staple, at least in American advertising, for decades before coca cola did it

Makes sense. Maybe they wouldn’t be understaffed if they were utilized in places that actually mattered to people

…well shit. Too smart to be an officer is a thing.

Cities in pretty much the entire country are running with an understaffed police force. They’ll take what they can get. I’m 100% pro Union, but another problem is that police unions help protect unfit (literally and figuratively) police from being forced to try harder by abusing protected status health claims. I’ve seen in both police and military, they are handed paperwork if they are not meeting fitness expectations, but nothing ever comes of it.

“You’re legally required to hire people…”

When you’re writing from the business’s perspective as “us”

I was excited for that movie, and I think yeah they nailed the atmosphere. Ended up not liking it at all, though

I never played d&d or any games of that style, and probably missed out on a bunch of the catered moments, but I still enjoyed it very much

My comment was meant to be informative to that end. I read (or maybe misread) your comment as implying that Americans are overreacting by calling him a Nazi, while I think it an apt comparison and that they are literally and intentionally using the Nazi playbook every step of the way.

He is rounding up people of a particular color using a paramilitary masked police force and without a trial sending them to a prison in another country that, for years, has been reported on as torturing and killing its prisoners

Many block only hexbear and lemmygrad because they are just propaganda machines. Mostly they were left unblocked until their users started to invade other instances to spread their blatant propaganda.

I think if it like an ad block. On lemm.ee, I blocked them both on my own anyway because I found them obnoxious.

If you go to the main page website of an instance and scroll all the way to the bottom, there should be an “instances” button that will tell you which instances are federated and which are blocked. I figure the default page is like lemme.ee/instances or sopuli.xyz/instances for example.

edit: I’ve upset the .ml Also, you’ll see most have chapo.chat is also on the blocked list because it is Hexbear when Hexbear lost their server or something

I’ve given up and assume that my friends and family have already handed over my contact info, pictures, messages, DNA, etc

Good. Those heathens need to hear the word of God

But why

I don’t think they care if you’re real anymore

I always thought this was intentional. Apple TV doesn’t make them money, but it’s a gateway drug for you to completely move over to their ecosystem

It’s fair in a sense that his father may have left him inheritance

The fact they keep doing it leads me to believe we’re missing several instances where they’ve gotten away with it
