  • Male Loneliness epidemic is really bad and they are setting up a wall for anyone that tries to leave it behind to be excluded from their friend group.

    Basically it’s a wall meant to stop men from reaching out and getting a girlfriend and keep yourself miserable and lonely so you can be further misogynistic and make it easier to continue to say and do restrictive policy on women without pushback.

    TL:DR can’t have your addict get clean or they will stop buying what you are selling.



  • Lemmy has a weird issue with being super restrictive of ableist language, beyond reasonable, in some spaces and completely ambivalent in others.

    I had someone say I was as useless as accessibility kitchen items, which mostly just means I’m extremely useful to specific people and viewed as a joke by intolerant people who don’t care about others…

    Weirdly good compliment. Really telling in the idiot using it.












  • Ha yeah but profits must only go up so all the casinos would just pivot to something else. Sociopaths would never accept a 10% margin even on that large of a pool of money. Thats restaurant margin territory and you dont see the mafia running many legitimate restaurants for the income.



  • Imagine you are a boomer who has had a near infinite money glitch but its only ever been cost of living plus 10%. You always have that spare cash but it doesnt get above 10% extra. Its a boring amount and you want to be actually rich.

    Now you could squirrel it away and actually save that money but thats boring when what you could do is gamble it every month cause maybe it will make you have a huge amount of money (which it wont) out of just pure luck and you didnt need it cause your basic costs were always covered so you never thought of saving it or giving it to anyone else other than corpos.

    Now add people who also know they wil never have the money glitch who want to be as secure and see boomers making a small return acting like it was worth it and they decide if they gamble the few dollars they have they will finally get a return that saves them from poverty (it wont).

    Congrats you now understand it hopefully.


  • You know what? The future is probably not PC handhelds then. Android is having its own sideloading issues but the real difference between an android based handheld and the premium PC ones is the ability to play AAA games and stuff with anti cheat but i personally… Dont really care to play those games these days. They suck.

    We now have steam for android emulators and Valve is working on their own.
    Have you seen what $200 will get you in that space? The Anbernic RG556 has an AMOLED screen and then all the functional usefulness of an android 13 phone. With hall effect sticks and triggers attached.

    If we want small lighter devices we need small lighter games and to push studios to make them if they want to sell to us.
