Very American.

To that all I can say is "good luck". She's also an immortal goddess.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

Bold of you to assume incompetence and not malice

She is royalty and that sounded like an order

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 4 points 2 days ago

They did

And make no mistake Lula is also a crook, he just so happens to be a crook I'm aligned politically with (reformist leftist rather than neofascist)

But that just further proves the Teflon claim:

He did get locked up.

And now he's president again.

Idk how it is in the first world

But over here it's pretty much a known fact that every politician is a Mafioso first and a politician second. When they do get in trouble it's usually because they messed up enough in the political sphere that the other crooks decide to use the apparatus of law to fuck them over. Because if it were about their crimes they'd ALL be behind bars.

I would say "and THAT is how you do it, America"

But I have no faith in this sticking. Mr. Pockets is made of Teflon.

Roko's Basilisk cultists when a minor brownout kills god:

I know there isn't

It's just that delivery cars aren't really a thing in my country. It's all motorbikes all the way.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

WELL for a big grocery delivery -- Yeah. That makes sense. A lot of sense.

I was imagining like. A couple take-out boxes on the shotgun seat and someone driving a whole-ass car for those lil' boxes.

And it sounded like whatever the driver would get from this haul wouldn't even cover gas. To say nothing of the environmental angle.

Do Americans really get their shit delivered by car?over here it's motorcycles 99% of the time (and bicycles the other 1%)

Seems rather.... Sluggish and inefficient for delivery drivers to go by car.

Anywhere so long as they don't try to kill adblockers

Everything else the forks can work around. What's important is they don't give into manifest v3/WEI and become complicit in the death of adblockers.

 

Like I'm not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates.

BUT. I'm also old. And depending on when you ask me, I'll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as my favourite game of all time.

The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it'd choke on those too!

.... And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it's better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable.

Yet like.

I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it's Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at... 45.

And I'm like -- Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?

This meme¹ made the rounds here on Lemmy some days back.

And NSFW artists in the Furry fandom will often talk about how payment processors give them guff.

It holds true in lived memory, but like...

... Why?

I actually understand it for Google Ads and the like -- Google, Metabook, Bytedance et al. are really just advertisement companies with a side-gig in providing online services, and if you're an advertisement company, then "how other corporations perceive you" is what you live and die by, which forces the whole "corporate sanitisation" thing down on the users. -- So like. It does make sense, even if it's hateable.

But for the likes of Visa, and Master Card, and whatnot -- It doesn't? As I understand it their whole thing is they transfer money between parties and take a cut of the transactions. (and also give credit and charge interests on that and such) -- Why the fuck would they care what those transactions are about, so long as people are... Transacting, and thus giving them their cut?

I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.
