Genuinely though, it would not surprise anymore. We have subscription based cars selling your info to insurance companies, retroactively ammended purchase experiences everywhere, and every dang app and website harvesting as much info on you as physically possible no matter how mundane.

Dick info reporting toilets would not at all catch me by surprise at this point.

Found in the comments on Steam. On one hand, I love that Steam is going in the opposite direction of literally every other company. On the other hand, it does seem like it’s not being done to be good guys.

It still was a nice surprise to see “btw no forced arbitration”.

Edit: I am too lazy to look for real sources, so take this with a grain of salt and go look for the real sources I’m too lazy to look for.

I have it. This is sorcery.

I came to Lemmy because I disliked what Steve Huffman did to reddit.

I’d be completely fine with the users being here. I do miss the whole active community for every niche little thing part. If if federates that’d be neat.

It won’t, since greedy Steve Huffman can’t sell the fediverse to Google while screwing 3rd party devs and users that make it what it is. But I’d welcome it.

They cannot make me download their shit app, and when old.reddit dies then that’s when I stop going even my current once a month.

Isn’t it really insensitive to point out a trans girls’ penis? Like I can only imagine having transitioned successfully in every other way, feeling almost completely comfortable with your body… but then someone sees your bulge and just has to remind you of your balls and triggering dysmorphic feelings. Rude much?

While I’m in questioning rant mode: What’s with the thing of calling people trans+gender in the first place? Is a trans girl not allowed to just be a girl?

I’m sure many people have good intentions, but it really feels like accidental mean behavior to spotlight something that should be between partners, doctors, and close friends/family who can be trusted keep reminding someone they were born into a body that felt wrong.

Pardon my rant. Just confused/frustrated at some things.

I much prefer co-op multiplayer to pvp and co-op in a game I’m interested in is rare.

So yeah mostly singleplayer.

I personally love cheesebreather, bloodmouth, and milk-drinker.

Bonus points to milk-drinker because that’s not even a term made by vegans to call people coward babies. Play Skyrim and you’ll hear it all over the place!

Carnist doesn’t count because it’s not technically an insult. It’s just a name for someone that practices carnism. Carnism IS terrible, but the purpose of the word is no different than Christian to Christianity.

It’s hilarious that carnists get so butthurt about being called what they are though so I enjoy that part.

I’ll trash on greedy Steve Huffman any day.

But in this particular case, we really need everyone we can get. If Reddit helps convince more people to vote (for Biden), then so be it.

Not a time to be picky about allies. Not when Trump has a good chance to become effectively the King of the USA.

Seen this so many times and glad to keep seeing it.

More people being informed on these scummy practices to look out for and avoid is a good thing.

A comparison I typed up 7 years ago that seems to have helped a few people choose between Dawnguard vs Volkihar.

Dawnguard gets:

  • Pet huskies
  • Pet armoured trolls
  • Master Level trainers in Archery, Heavy Armor, Restoration, and Smithing.
  • A couple followers
  • Better crossbows
  • Easier access to Dwarven and Elemental bolts
  • Easier access to the spells Stendarr's Aura and Vampire's Bane
  • Chance to convince Serana to cure her vampirism.
  • Attacked by Volkihar Vampires. (I think) Guards/Citizens will get involved with the fight, risking their own lives to help.

Volkihar gets:

  • Pet death hounds
  • Master Two-Handed trainer and Expert speech trainer
  • Thralls in the castle you can feed on
  • The Ring of the Erudite, Ring of The Beast, Amulet of The Gargoyle, and Amulet of Bats
  • The Bloodstone Chalice, to enhance your vampiric powers
  • A free player home with merchants (the castle itself)
  • The chance to turn your spouse into a vampire
  • Easier access to Necromantic Healing and Heal Undead
  • Attacked by the Danguard in the wild. Guards/citizens won't help with the fight.

Both sides get:

  • Serana as a follower
  • Auriel's Bow and Bloodcursed arrows
  • Access to Vampire Lord form and Bloodcursed Arrows*
  • Durnehviir
  • Radiant quests to kill vampires**
  • As long as Serana is still a vampire ** Yes, Members of Clan Volkihar will request that you go kill vampires. Don't think the Dawnguard are the only ones upset at random vampires attacking towns!

Welp. I just loss The Game.

Mostly Voyager for me because it’s almost a 1:1 clone of what I know and love.

But I have Memmy installed too and sometimes use that instead with no particular rhyme or reason.
