• Some fucking line breaks would considerably help your point be easier to read. Right now it comes across as a crazy screed.

• You're complaining to a void that doesn't want to hear you or care, and this is definitively not the right community to post this in. There are various rant, off my chest, and unpopular opinion communities. This is a stretch for a community meant for meta discussion about your specific instance.

• Lemmy was never meant to be free speech specifically, or accepting of all opinions. Just more open than Reddit, and with the ability for people to host their own spaces if their opinions were being suppressed by other instances. There was no goal for every instance to be open to every point of view. Lemmy's lead dev, Dessalines, is a transphobic "hard tankie" marxist leninist, who runs the Marxist Leninist instance lemmy.ml.

• You will find this kind of "suppression"/"bullying"/"negative responses to out-group ideas and thinking" everywhere online. Especially in spaces set up like Lemmy/Reddit/HackerNews etc with voting effecting content visibility. It is inherent to the design. Even on sites without this format, like 4chan, you still see this sort of behavior. Best get used to it.

• Also, from personal experience, just block communities and users that are assholes. The Fediverse has a low enough count of daily active users that blocking actually makes a difference in the content and viewpoints you encounter.

• Lastly, there are right wing lemmy instances. They tend to be filled with actual nazis and pedophiles, which is why no instances will federate with them.

Spoiler: I agree that calling Jan 6 an attempted coup is a stretch. The most heavily armed group in the US tried to overthrow the government and there was minimal firearm based violence?

That said, none of the chucklefucks that broke into buildings deserve any sort of pardon. They broke the law fair and simple. Feelings of righteousness don't change that. Only coordinated legal and political effort would, and I don't think anyone is going to back the idea that those building should be open access to an uncontrolled public.

YES <3

It's not unreasonable to ask for a NSFW tag so I don't casually scroll into an image with the business end of a pocket pussy on my feed.

My morality and logic is just different.

Holy shit you cannot be real. I just choked on my water.

Man you are like the postershild of that meme about playing chess with a pigeon. Knock over the board, shit on everything, and strut away with every fiber of your being reinforcing the idea that you "won".

You're more than welcome to find retroactive justification for your actions, or to shore up in your head the concept that the end result justifies your means. But that doesn't mean "I'm just built different I guess, teehee!" like some sort of badge of honor.

From life experience, and from knowing a number of people like you over my years: If you continue with this sort of attittude towards life, and general pattern of behavior, it will come back to bite you hard someday. When it does you will likely not find many people sympathethic to you or willing to help you, due to your own behavior.

I'm fairly certain that you aren't the type of person capable of reflecting on your behavior or the responses to it in the last thread or this one and learning to ba a better person from it, but in the rare chance:

Your own descriptions of your own actions meant to portray you as being in the right instead portray you as an impatient asshole with the emotional and psychological maturity level of a 12 year old, who also has an absurdly inflated idea of the value of themself and their actions.

There is not much worse in this world than self righteous fuckstains taking actions that were never asked for or wanted, with the motivation that they are only doing what is best for other people who never asked for their help.

Would it be too much to ask for a NSFW tag on this? Thanks.

If you're talking about playing on tablet, it's best to play the games through emulators or open source sourceports rather than paid store releases. As another comment mentions, you never know when the company that made the port will stop updating it for new OS versions.

ScummVM works well for playing old point and click adventure games on Android phones. More screen real estate on a tablet couldn't hurt. Supports over 250 games. I've gotten tons of playtime out of it.

I regularly play turn based RPGs on my phone through Retroarch (and more recently Lemuroid which is the same core but minorly better UI).

I also use a handful of emulators and source ports with a controller mount to play more action-y games off my phone, but I don't think that's what you're looking for with playing on a tablet.

For tablets, stuff I'm aware of but haven't used myself: There's android ports of OpenXcom, OpenTTD (I think), and Theme Hospital.

There's also a pretty long list of source ports here, with the OS's they support listed.

Edit: if you aren't already playing old games through emulation, the world is your oyster.

It's a "puzzle" common in Kirby games. The puzzle is that only the bomb blocks can remove the "concrete" blocks, but that they don't always blow up the closest ones.

In this one, if you blow up either of the bomb blocks that look like the right ones, it spawns concrete blocks in the way of the treasure. The correct bomb to blow up is the one that doesn't look like it connects to anything.

You can't. The whole puzzle is that only the bomb blocks can remove the "concrete" blocks, but that they don't always blow up the closest ones.

EDIT: Maybe that was true in the 90s. Definitely wasn't a few years later in the 00s.

No. Wrong. Don't make me get the spray bottle. Fuck off with that rose tinted bullshit.

My lived experiences completely contradict that.

I went through highschool in the 00s. The term political correctness wasn't used, but there were massive swaths of teenage assholes running around.

"Saying gay is offensive? That's fucking gay."

Day where a bunch of kids are silent to protest the use of retarded as slang? "Can't you talk? What are you, retarded?"

"I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body." Not meant as some statement about trans-ness, gender, or identity. Dead straight kid meaning they liked looking at girls feel each other up (which was an unfortunate thing that some did for male attention at the time).

The one and only neo-nazi skinhead I ever had the misfortune of meeting was a student at my highschool.

Kids, particularly teenagers, can be exceedingly repulsive assholes. Racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc are not the exclusive realm of ebil adults.

I'm not saying Bluesky sucks, but this is childish.

Bluesky was started by the same guy who started Twitter, and is only federated in concept.

It was never meant to be "Twitter but better". It was always meant to be "How can we make the most money off fleeing twitter users?". There's a lot of overlap between the money making and being better, but it's incidental to the real goal. Any claims otherwise are pure marketing.

Did any of Chuck Tingle's books get physical releases?
