So...you're arguing with internet strangers that very likely have 0 influence in your community about extremist views, but letting the people who are actually physically in your presence carry on with those same beliefs and influence those around you.

Isn't that a bit...futile?

Like I'm not saying you have to go out and physically fight people with Trump/Nazi paraphernalia or something, but it's kind of a weird disconnect.

True, but your point is more consumer side. The headline is talking about CDPR wanting to have a "banging game" on release, which is historically uh...sketchy at best. They should be called out on the statement separate from consumer habits.

Wasn't the Witcher 3 also a mess at release? I've never played them, but I distinctly remember my friends complaining about it, and now it's pretty beloved.

Maybe CDPR is hoping the same thing happens with Cyberpunk?

No problem, both these ingredients are really underrepresented in Euro-Indian recipes, but are pretty essential in India itself! I only learned about them from my best friend's grandmother.

Yes! Amchoor powder (dried young and green mango) is used in northern indian dishes to give it the umami flavour. Tamarind is usually used in the south.

Usually used along with or in place of tomatoes, so you'll get a less fruity flavour. If you can get some to try out in your Indian recipes, I highly recommend!

Do you use amchoor powder or tamarind?

Most libraries near me have coffee shops built into or right next to them. Is this not common?

My friend co-op group decided to do this...we all watched each other's avatars bang the squid.

...I don't know how I feel about our friendship anymore tbh...

Do NOT emulate Bateman's skincare routine, you'll overexfoliate yourself into eczema. I am speaking from experience.

Sorry, my "hypothetical women" thing came across as snarky.

I absolutely understand your point regarding the discrimination vector, but my point is that the root of the problem is still the conservatives who use a woman's soft/high voice as a way to convey a political and social position. There wouldn't BE a discriminatory vector if not for this issue.

You're looking at the downstream effects of something that hasn't been proven, instead of looking at the root issue directly being pointed out to you.

Lemmy has astroturfing? Where??? The Linux bros? They just seem like they REALLY love Linux (and good for them, everyone needs hobbies).
