Unacceptable! You shit on my post and you shit on it right now!

What I want, what we all should want, is for the opposing party to at least come to the table with a) defensible positions e.g. I think we should spend our taxes on Y because X NOT "Trans are icky and need to be silenced" something akin to the (facade) of conservatives of ol'

And b) come to the table with at least an open mind

I don't see any of that happening with conservatives nearly all the time and I have never seen anyone change a conservatives mind anywhere online. Like I said in another reply, I see it all the time, people on the left do engage with them. Presenting hard data, graphs, solid good sources, well structured arguments in all manner of lengths, all to be hand waved away by the Excuse of the Day™️

Once I was in a Reddit thread (might be Lemmy) awhile back where an expert deprogrammer had chimed in, according to them the only real way (their actual post was much more detailed, I wish I could find it again) to get to a conservative was IRL, through various means that boiled down to (heavy paraphrasing) reconnecting them with a "sense of belonging" in their local community. I specifically asked them how one could do it online, and was told that it's essentially a fools errand.

And now trying on conservatives I know IRL, they were right, it's fucking hard even when you have direct IRL access

There is simply too much disassociation online.

+1 VLC will dutifully try to play even corrupted to hell files that any other media player would just fail with some form of "can't play, file is corrupt"

It actually harms Google a little in regards to trademark if it becomes a common verb.

Same thing nearly happened to Xerox, people used Xerox to mean "make a copy" so much they nearly lost the trademark to it

least pirate it.

Don't gotta tell me twice lmao

It's a shame really, Sony is one of the last of the prolific single player AAA producers, everyone else seems intent on shoveling multi-player crap out and maybe doing SP as an after thought:(

Yea, I was told that in 196, I remade it and reposted it in the better format, the other in 196 was removed, but since this one has some good comments under it I'd prefer to leave it

The load balancing bit was mostly a joke, Im not calling for Lemmy posters to have a CCNA LMAO, but it doesn't hurt to spare an extra second or 2 when you're in the community search drop down on the posting screen

This is for when there are multiple comms across instances, for example there's !science@mander.xyz and !science@lemmy.world and a .ml version

Same with !memes@sopuli.xyz !memes@lemmy.world and the .ml version

If your interest is in science, it costs you nothing to post to mander.xyz's version and is a cheap contribution to the overall health of the Fediverse

If the only version of a comm is on .world, that's fine, that's not what the meme is about (though if it's on the Tankie Triad, I'd encourage you to create your own community on your home instance, which also contributes to your home instances growth)

Perhaps you're right, I thought about it and remade it into a different format and reposted it

While that's admirable, you gotta tailor your "calls to action"s (ig is what they're called") to where you're at.

Here on Lemmy the biggest issues are the tankies, posting about people not buying from Amazon or posting on FB on Lemmy isn't really effective because most of the people here already likely do that. Those kinda posts would be more effective in someplace like Reddit where that's far more common and Tankies are far less common

While scrolling to find my posts on lemmy.film to crosspost elsewhere I checked in on some posts on !startrek@possumpat.io and apparently possumpat.io is shutting down soon to :(
