Briefly, just skimmed through it. Should’ve paid more attention. Thanks.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I meant community’s for specific games, rather than gaming communities in general.

Not enough video game communities. I think that was a huge part of Reddits initial success. Even to this day I still search “Problem + /reddit” on google whenever I have issues in a game. Reddit often holds the core community off a video game. It’s often detrimental to a games success to have a Reddit community. Lemmy has communities for some games, but they are mostly inactive or have only 10-60 users. So don’t even have the latest patch notes posted.

Conservatism should be used as a moderator. If Libertarianism is left unchecked it will try to solve all the problems all at once, running out of resources before even achieving a proper solution. Ideally the Parliament should be roughly split into 5ths with each part representing an important area (environmentalist, economist, socialism/communalism, etc.). Then through coalitions, in which conservatism should always be a part of the most relevant problems can be targeted in a moderated sense.

It’s mind boggling how many times the world came together in the past for total nuclear disarmament and every single time when we almost reached an agreement Russia backed out because they thought it’s all a ruse against them. The are the epitome of the “No, it’s the others that must be wrong.” Meme.

I really curious how they found out that you voted for Harris. Was the party dumb enough to send you a thank you letter with blue stickers or something?

“How about everything is in color except the peoples skin.”

“Brilliant.”

I’m still not sure whether “Angela Anaconda” was real or a collective fever dream.

I do the things I despise others for doing.

I wish I would be less of an hypocrite.

Imagine being a rich white woman’s house cat. Best life in the solar system.

A shortage of unskilled labor is almost unheard of, especially on a large scale. Local businesses having trouble to stock their shelves is a sign of a failing business rather than a unskilled worker shortage.

No, no, no. There are enough people, just not enough people who can go through 3 years of shit apprenticeship pay to become a worker. Once upon a time you could maybe get by with an trainee salary, then people had to be supported by their parents, then they had to either be in a romantic relationship or live in dorms to share an apartment, in addition to their parents support. Now, even that isn’t enough anymore.

It always struck me as weird that serial numbers and therefore the weapons tie to the owner are printed on the receiver. A receiver can be milled with a simple CNC mill or as recent development shown using 3D printers. We should rather serialize and register barrels, the one thing that needs highly specialized equipment to manufacture and what defines the guns caliber, potential muzzle velocity and has unique thread profile.

Yeah, the most intricate gun in my eyes is the AN-94, canted magazine, recoiling barrel, specialized muzzle device, pulley system, 2 shot hyperburst. What were they smoking when developing this thing?

I disagree, firearms are way cooler than bows or swords. Sure, swords are cool but there’s only so many ways you can make a pointy sharp metal stick, or put a string on a piece of wood. But firearms in the early 1900s where absolutely wild when it comes to internal mechanics. Same thing goes for siege weapons and artillery, a trebuchet, catapult or ballista are cool at a medieval exhibit, but they ain’t a Schwerer Gustav railway canon.

But this is a statement on its own. Now every gas operated gun is either a AR-15 or AK. Every “new” gun is a “Tactitech Eaglefire XK-34-1050-Superbadger Ultradog”, and at the end its just another AR-15 with some sharp bits added to it.

Older firearms where way cooler an they don’t make them like that anymore.

This Scene from Designated Survivor. I’m still chuckling when thinking about it.
