Does nobody get that the original isn’t literally fine with burning alive? I’ve seen multiple “fixes” that are just needlessly spelling out the subtext.

Dude’s just handing a lady some spaghetti, y’all. Does he really need to be “on” for that?

I mean, for one, that’s the only metric you chose to measure games by, so I’m not sure what else you would expect. Should we reply as if you used an entirely unmentioned metric?

Second, I specifically mentioned “many”, not you in particular. That’s not strawmaning, that’s talking about a general trend.

What interaction is that? I’m unfamiliar.

Why use an edited version? It completely ruins the joke.

I dunno. If someone’s building a PC, they are most probably using it for more than just chrome-level stuff. And for me at least, if I’m going to spend the time and money on new components, I’m going to get the biggest and best that I can afford/justify. The higher end comments are going to fair much better as tech develops further along, and I consider them an investment into not going through the same process again in just a few years time.

Bobert is a dumbass, but this is so dumb. The crassness mixed with the refusal to utter a curse word makes it even worse.

They would still control it more than they did in Netflix, so it’s still upside in their eyes.

Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors “engagement” driven algorithms seen on other sites. It’s predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of “rage-bait” content that’s pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.

Gonna be another spike in the next week, so probably not soon, but it will die down.

I feel like “mansplaining” has lost all meaning. It used to be about men going out of their way to correct someone that didn’t need correcting, particularly if they were wrong themselves, and most often with women. Now people use it on men just…saying things to anyone.

I get that people are touchy on the subject, and I respect anyone’s right to not want or need help. I think how Mr. Solomon handled it was correct - ask if they want your input and respect their answer. It’d just be nice if people didn’t use cultural memes to dismiss others out of hand.
