100% agree that we should use the term with caution and precision. That said, Israel is committing a genocide.

me being told to grow up by another lemmy user is literally 1984 guys

Good thing you can have the right economic politics at the same time as being queer. Young people identifying as LGBT does nothing to detract from their other left-wing views.

Genuinely hard to tell if a joke sometimes

Certainly if the developers of those games have the time and resources to invest into it, they can make an easy mode. Not every studio does though. For games intended to be difficult though, they should be balanced around a difficult normal mode, and that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone can beat it.

According to this article, about 40% of men and 60% of women identify as feminist. That means only about 60% of feminists are women, at least in the States.

I like when games are difficult. I don’t think every game needs to be so easy every gamer can beat it.

Why? saving money for the company, as always

No dude, two thirds of my office commutes in by bike. I’m just in decent shape and cycling at a reasonable pace doesn’t make me break a sweat. For most people in decent shape it doesn’t make you sweat more than walking.

Phoenix is not a great example of how we should design cities. Putting a city in a desert is a bad idea from the outset.

Pretty much no one parks their bikes inside in the Nerherlands, I’m guessing that’s a climate thing. It takes like half a square meter outside.

I ride a bike to work every day. I’m never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won’t get run over by cars.

He made the games worse, but that doesn’t mean he made them less profitable. Those are sadly distinct goals. The CEO does not have an incentive to make good art.

If you get it, purge and update your cache. It still works.

I think it’s also that the more you talk about and involve yourself in politics the more you get radicalized, it works both ways

The measurement for temperatures you experience really does not matter outside of what you’re used to, do you think non-Americans get confused about how cold 6°C or 23°C is?

Russia uses cluster bombs too though? Cluster bombs are bad because unexploded munitions are a lot like mines. The fighting is happening in Ukraine, not in Russia, and Ukraine is already littered with mines and unexploded munitions because of Russia’s use of both from the start of the war.

Sorry but reality doesn’t stroke with your concerns. Old people are stuck in car centric cities when they can no longer drive. Disabled people are stuck in car centric cities when they cannot drive. Cities that prioritize other modes of transport have more options available to both groups and you’re mad over nothing.

Edit: just look at Dutch walkable cities as an example - they’re perfectly accessible for old people and disabled people. Sorry but the idea disabled people can only use cars and need car-centric infrastructure to live in a city is delusional.

What? I said it depends on the disability. Depending on why you can’t walk to the store, a bike or e-bike might work. Not every disability is the same. I know people that can’t walk to the store but can use an e-bike.

How is a mobility scooter too small for a disabled person? It’s literally designed for the purpose. And by Microcar I mean what you see in Amsterdam as microcars, not ‘a small car’.

this was a funny meme to me thanks
