Second shift, 4am.

Normally I would say no. However, with Mel Brooks producing, I will hold out hope!

Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I’m also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people’s fucking street lights.

As a PC gamer, I’ll tell you why sales would slump for me. I eagerly waited 2 years for FFVII to come to PC. Then, I paid 90 bucks for the game to include “all future dlc.” I assumed that was 90 bucks for the rest of the game. It was not. I will have to wait another 2 years (avoiding PlayStation spoilers), and then pay 70 bucks for the next disk. I’m gonna assume that pans out the rest of the way through the game, meaning I’ll have hundreds of dollars in the game over a decade. Nope, I’m good. I’ll dust off the emulator and just play old school.

Nothing quite like being technically correct, and completely missing the point.

Lemmy is my only online presence. I use…

My phone.

Someone mentioned antifa at work the other day, and I said, “Antifa? I’m in. Shitting on fascists has been an American pass time for a century or better.”

The looks of shock and horror on my coworkers faces was quite the sight to behold.

This is such a low effort answer that does not even begin to consider the complexity of people’s lives.

We did one of these in elementary school. One day while I was back in my hometown, I remembered it and decided to swing by the school to see if they ever did anything with it.

The school was bulldozed.

Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original. SAMCRO.

Long live the manual transmission!

I think you drastically underestimate the number of gearheads in the States. Makes sense, given we have incredibly limited public transport. Currently have 3 manuals in my driveway.

I mean, just looking at the thumbnail I see American politicians in front of an American flag. I think we can all agree that the country specified is pretty simple to figure out.

Hopefully. Let’s get back to that.

Plenty of cars out there running more power than that. Why do we need it? We don’t. The same could be said for most power levels in any modern car. Why do we want it? Because it’s fucking awesome.

The only thing that I can tell happens every update is that I have to tell my start bar, yet again, to show all program icons instead of hiding them. Individually. Oh, and Skype occasionally decides it’s important at startup again.

Almost forgot! My computer also randomly forgets how to sleep until updated.

I almost forgot about Fear Factory. Thanks for giving me something to jam to all weekend again!

Yeah, I remember all of that. It usually went hand in hand with sites I shouldn’t have been on lol. But who knows, you’re probably right. It’s been a lot of years.

The lack of ads. Were there ads? Of course there were. A reasonable amount with reasonable placement. Websites still functioned as intended without content being progressively more blocked on your screen, and they rarely required interaction to deal with them. Nowadays, if you can get a site that’s not paywalled, the text field is so small you can only see a sentence or two between the bullshit.

Normally, I would agree with you. But, I would like to offer a different point of view simply because this is a platform on the internet where the vast majority of the users seem to be from the US.

On a project like r/place, I kind of see that as a showing of people saying hey, we use this site, we are here everyday, there’s lots of us, and we’re from this country!
