Oh gawd I fell for it. It’s the right amount of blurry that was common on the early internet so I didn’t question the hazy details.

Be Batman, have prep time.

Doesn’t matter. Green Mario is perfect. Working class, deals with literal shit daily, is scared of everything, and still does the thing. Red Mario has it easy, he’s not scared of CEO Bowser, he doesn’t have to overcome his fear - because he’s confident. Which is cool, good for him. But Red Mario is unachievable as a role model. Be more like Green Mario who does it scared, who does it alone, who does it anyway.

Yes. And I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

Of course, dear.

What no I can’t accept that! Those things are expensive, not to mention the ecological impact. You keep it for yourself dearie.

Or video games using noises that sound exactly like the fire alarm in my building.

I would fucking love to get my protein from insects - they’re prohibitively expensive.

Also, outrage bait.

You’re not notified on Bluesky but since the information is public, there are services that let you look up if you’re on a list (clearsky.app is the most popular one - it might be the only one for now? idklol).

Sounds like they have something to compensate for. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

We know WHY you do it. We just aren’t very happy with it.

Also, I find it hilarious how US Americans can seamlessly switch between “we’re so very united, everywhere is the same, same food, same culture, same language” and “we’re really 50 separate countries that each do their own thing, don’t judge all of us for the bullshit legislation some of us choose to have”.

Unless they’re from a primarily English speaking country, they’d be unlikely to complain though.

But what if Stuart had been adopted by Soviet Russians?

Ah, I see what you’re saying. That might be a way of looking at it.

Wouldn’t that make many (most?) news sites social media since they let you comment on articles? (IMDB dodged a bullet?)

You don’t consider Lemmy social media? Honest question.

That’s an actual issue I see with this law: how does one define social media? I’ve seen YouTube described as social media which I find highly dubious but I can’t really explain why.
