Reddit. They were irritating, so I left, but I couldn’t care less if someone posts content here from teddit or(apparently gods forbid) mentions reddit.
I do not care about whatever happens with that company any more than I care about Apple or McDonald’s or any other company with shitty products I don’t engage with.
Dude, Lemmy is literally Reddit Junior nobody using this website has a leg to stand on complaining about stuff from Reddit making its way here LOL.
Doesn’t seem like it, Between the slower growth rate, lack of profit motive, decentralization and community funded instances, people act much more decently here. Reddit was pretty impotent-ragey from the get-go without a way to tune out the bigots. On lemmy, places like hexbear are easily exiled. Womensstuff has bigots, i blocked them, done.
Star Trek vs Star Wars. I like both.
Blasphemy!
Sincerely, someone who does not watch either.
Cultural appropriation.
So… You’re offended. People are living out of their cars now. I’m more worried about that.
Also, the person being offended usually isn’t even from the target culture. They’re being vicariously offended on behalf of somebody else, when the actual members of that culture usually dgaf or like it.
Don’t get me started on “Latinx.”
Oh I’ll happily get started on that one. I’m latina. Latinos very rarely use latinx because it can’t be fucking pronounced in Spanish. If you must use a neutral version, latine is more common.
My understanding is that it was originally created in I think Puerto Rico?, but quickly got picked up and pushed by non-Hispanic (mainly white) people. To put it in perspective, 4% of the US Hispanic population uses it (2024)
Don’t use latinx
You’re not wrong.
Sony discontinuing physical media.
I haven’t bought a physical game for any platform in I don’t even know how many years and I doubt I ever will again.
Same here. In fact I own almost no physical media anymore except for a few rare CD’s and vinyl. All my games are digital.
The argument that this damages the preowned game market is valid to a point. Though anymore any time I shop for preowned games they’re close enough in price to new games that I don’t see the point. And if that level of greed has infiltrated that market, maybe it deserves to die.
I know someone is going to yell at me about that but that’s kinda how I see it.
You don’t care because you don’t buy physical games. I don’t care because I resolved not to give Sony a single red cent ever again some time in about 2005. We are not the same.
Same but it’s also about game preservation which is threatened with this decision.
The moral failings of celebrities and creators who’ve been dead for decades.
Save your outrage for things that are happening now, that you still have a chance to change.
Being interested in celebrity gossip is not mutually exclusive to caring about politics or more meaningful things, but I understand why people don’t care about celebrity gossip.
I see this a lot here and it’s curious! Because would you say the same about other hobbies? That they’re a waste of energy because that could be applied to changing things now?
I’m specifically talking about dead celebrities. People like to point out that HP Lovecraft was racist, Gary Gygax was sexist and Clark Gable was fascist. All true and well-known, but it’s much too late to change their minds about it. Whereas racism, sexism and fascism are going on outside our windows right now and can still be affected.
Ahh I did miss that you meant specifically dead celebrities. Fair enough! Thanks for clarifying!
I love Tolkien. I don’t like what Amazon did with Rings of Power, but I just didn’t watch it, simple as that. That’s how the free market works. People make a sucky product. You don’t buy the sucky product, they stop making the sucky product. And if they don’t stop making the sucky product, you make your own hopefully less sucky product. I don’t have the energy to complain about it online.
My personal annoyance is with the hubris required to think you can write LOTR lore better than Tolkien. All the money in the history of the universe couldn’t facilitate that. Amazon sucks.
YES.
I wish more people could understand that you can just… not consume something. You not liking it doesn’t make it bad and it doesn’t make other people inferior for enjoying it.
Just scroll on.
Pineapple on pizza. I don’t even like it that much but holy shit, shut the fuck up about it. You must have zero personality if you think it bring it up
You gotta admit though, those videos about Italians being scandalised by the sight of it are pretty hilarious
Eh, fake outrage doesn’t really do it for me
You just brought it up lol
I’m not outraged at its existence so that’s not really relevant
Almost any single thing about movies or shows. I don’t consume either and literally could not care less about any of it. Double whammy with superhero stuff.
What a CEO or founder of a company does off the clock. Brave, Mozilla, Mullvad, Proton, GrapheneOS - I just don’t care. If I picked a product off of the CEO not being a dick, I wouldnt have any products or services to use.
The Brave one is hilarious because no one bothers to look into it. If they did, they would be embarrassed by how big of a deal they make of it. In like 2009, the current CEO made a one-time, $1000 donation to an anti-prop 8 campaign.
That’s it.
No donations to any groups since.
Brave wasn’t even a thing when he did it.
He’s also the same guy who created JavaScript, yet no one seems to have an issue using that.
Just a giant game of telephone where people hate someone because they were told they should hate them.
Pizza tastes great. Pineapples taste great. The math solves itself.
I don’t eat Hawaiian pizza because of the pineapple. It’s because I don’t like ham. Pineapple is great
If you havent, you should try my favorite 2 topping combo which is pepperoni and pineapple.
Or jalapeño and pineapple
Oh yeah, that’s a great one too
I can’t bring myself to care about “iPad kids” the way the internet wants. Seems like another way to bash parents and blame the next generation for all the woes of society.
A friend of mine just lost his job as a professor because the iPad kids don’t hand in assignments and he gets blamed when they fail their course.
Yep I totally get it. Covid didn’t help these kids either.
In the US, it’s a huge multi-faceted problem. We’ve successfully undermined our teachers at almost every step of the way. We guarantee zero parental leave and protections when parents have children. It’s very difficult to have a family without both parents working. There’s many reasons why kids are not performing at university levels when they get there.
I can’t get worked up about it the way the internet always seems to get its panties in a bunch about it. I make sure my child is ready for the next step in their education and ignore the discourse.
so, we all agree that the problem is the iPads, and not the kids?
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
That’s been my parenting mantra and it’s worked out pretty well so far.
Most things. The internet is a rage factory these past few years. I got enough real things to be upset about.
Sam Altman says “…”, Tim Sweeney is against “…”
I scroll past a headline like that every single day.
The trend is dying out but, I never understood the labubu hate. It seems like the people who hate them dont even hate the worst aspect of labubus; blind box gambling. I just couldnt seem to find the rational of visceral reaction to a doll.
Meh, yet another influencerslop fad advertising to children, with gambling in it? Can sort of see their point, personally.
I never cared enough to inform myself about but I thought they were just overpriced. Good to know that it’s worse than I thought.
Being upset that female characters in video games don’t have huge boobs and asses and the intelligence of a watermelon.
