Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Safe to say the petition was a success! Now we will have to wait and see the EU's response to it.

If only the "tax the rich" petition had such a great villain to reinvigorate interest, but I take what I can get.

This is an EU petition, not the US.

Doomers coming out in force today

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

???

What does the US have to do with anything I said?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Many countries in the EU already tax the rich. I mean, it could be better. It could be a lot better, and we still have right-wing types that try to destroy that positive element within the EU.

But of all the countries that would benefit the most from heavily taxing the rich, it would be the US. And since the US has made itself the centre of all the world's attention, and the whole world still uses the USD as the primary exchange currency, anything that would shake up the economy of the US would shake up the economy of the world.

Nothing, but that doesn't stop people with Americabrain from making terrible comments here.

The EU has a record of actually passing pro-consumer legislation such as the GDPR and forcing companies to use standardized cables. Claiming that nothing is going to happen because of lobbying doesn't hold up nearly as well as it does in the US

There are no billionaires in EU, didn't you know that?

[–] zerofk@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

There were, but we ate them.

If only.

[–] Lazhward@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

My thoughts exactly, I find it very disheartening.
