“Meet me in the middle”, says the dishonest man

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

-Jean-Paul Sartre

Replace ‘anti-semites’ with ‘right-wingers’, and there’s your answer

*looks at orlando*

Yeah this data is bullshit lol. Or it’s looking exclusively at the city center and not the city as a whole

I finally played through it earlier this year, well worth the wait.

Too clunky and slow paced for me compared to previous installments. Also not a huge fan of how the different victory conditions/requirements were balanced compared to older games. They just crammed too many new mechanics in there for the game to flow like it used to. If you’ve never played civ before these things may not even bother you since you have no previous experience with earlier installments to compare it to.

If you don’t enjoy it, don’t discount the franchise. Personally I prefer civ 4 over civ 6, and civ 4 has the bonuses of 1) being the only video game to ever win a Grammy award and 2) extensive voice work by Leonard Nimoy

Tell that to the Chinese government lol

They wasted all their former might far before that. There’s a reason the leading cause of death for young men in Russia is alcoholism. The people have no hope and no future while Putin lives.

Yes, please continue to shout about how the nonprofit company that gives you open source software for free is ruining your life by making a feature of a product that you are not obligated to use in the first place opt out instead of opt in lol

Hopefully you live outdoors then.

I do not have enough hit points to be that reckless lol

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.

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.

I’ll be sure to add any future comments as new replies in order to maintain compliance with your imaginary rules that wouldn’t matter even if they were real lol

Ok, so stop using their product.

There’s no trick to it. If you don’t agree with the terms of service, feel free to not use the product. There’s dozens of other free web browsers out there if you think you can find a better one.

If me being an asshole to other assholes makes those assholes think I’m an asshole, I guess me being fine with it instead of doubling down and pretending like there’s only one asshole in the room is the only thing that sets me apart lol

I didn’t say anything rude to anybody until people started coming my way with hostile smartass comments. Life is too short to be nice to assholes anyway.
