Uh, yes. They can.

I was more in favor of Yang, tbh. Dude had some forward-thinking ideas

You know, the nice thing about lemmy is when someone makes an ass of themselves, a substantially larger portion of the community gets to see it. Like you are right now.

That’s fair, I wasn’t giving you the benefit of the doubt, that’s my bad

You know, the beautiful thing about being a society is we can all just agree to regulate them. I think that’s called a government.

Goootcha, I was thinking the context was classical liberals who lean more right.

I get the feeling I’m mixing my definitions. In my mind liberals are generally allies of progressives and leftists, no?

Whataboutism means nothing at this point. Risk analysis? Whataboutism. Considering consequences? Whataboutism.

“Informal” means it’s not actually a fallacy. Prooooobably because people use it way outside of its definition to dismiss arguments they don’t like because they have not thought through whatever they are arguing about.

Hard to be flexible when the whole schtick of the right wing is to actively be bad people

Honestly, I was one of those people. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t happy because the algorithm found that I responded to a specific narrative and would not stop showing it to me no matter how hard I tried to remove it from my feed. I don’t like the person I become when I think that way, and the algorithm does not care. I had to just uninstall TikTok to be free of that toxic mindset.

Btw the mindset is incel-flavored misogyny. TikTok nearly re-radicalized me in the worst possible way.

I always thought it was named after the man because you have to stab at the stupid fucking croutons at least as many times as caesar himself just to get one on your fork or break it up. I hate those little fuckers.

It occurs to me that this could be read with the speakers interchangeable.

Yeah, I have already been corrected. I think the reason I assumed it had a smaller team was because the team clearly loved the game and you don’t see that often in gaming outside of small-team projects.

Ok wow, I had no idea zendaya’s outfit had windows. I see them now, but I totally thought it was just gold-looking armor.

That channel has done an exceptional job toning down my distaste for some Japanese media by explaining the roots for the tropes I despise. Highly recommend.

I must be blind, I see no resemblance

I see that as a failure of the term AAA, but I might just be underestimating the size of Larian’s team. I’ve always understood AAA to mean funded by a publisher.

The key word here might be “large-scale” which to me sounds like the production-line games like CoD.

I’m thinking it’s like survivorship bias, but for memory. Nobody remembers small wake-ups, say to drink some water, but they’re definitely gonna remember if they have to get up to get the water because their bottle is empty.

That’s a lot of words that may or may not be backed by science. I certainly will never know, I’m not finding your sources for you.
