They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame

i mean, they still do that anyway, for all we know the “disagree” button does fuck all. but at least now we know that they do it, hooray?

dw about it, your data will be safe amongst their friends! MyAnimeList and their 938 closest friends :)

i feel like that depends on the vibes, if the robber is giving “my first robbery” vibes then a bigger toothpick it is. if they aren’t then give them the money

i’m saying this because it sounds like a lot of work having to then explain everything to your boss, police, friends who want to know etc

in a way i think yes. in the dark ages at least any insane cults and ideas couldn’t spread far. if your village or castle happened to have dark ages version of ben shapiro then his words aren’t going to go far (unless they infected the local ruler as well, and even then it’d still be contained within your area, or your country at worst). If you were on the receiving end of insanity you could always just kind of– pack up and move to another village, walk 30km away and you’re like a new man! Worst case scenario find your way to a port, fuck off to another country - passports or border control did not exist, passage was often granted for free to those able bodied that joined the crew for the voyage.

obviously i’m romanticising here a bit, modern medicine and technology makes day to day life easier. but it also makes other things much harder. our privacy is going extinct at an alarming rate, freedom of movement across borders belongs to distant memories of our great grandparents, (unless you’re french) your protests will be ignored and/or vilified, and if you dare care about other humans and speak up about it you can be labelled as a terrorist in some places

i do truly hope that those years of unrest aren’t here to stay…

i hope teens today pick the degrees they want instead of the degrees that are advertised as “easy employment, steady jobs, good money”. because a lot of my friends with IT degrees are just as fucked as me, a guy with a Filmmaking degree lol

i think that’s just all of lemmy at this point

video games take a lot of time and effort to make, and i’m not that interested in making them

hi there i can do some stuff sometimes, hit me up about it, or don’t

yeah sure! in the end, there is no right way to tell a story

oh i don’t mean “vilify” as in “should be policed” i meant “vilify” as in “beware of the spicy words, say them only on special occasions”. i would like to encourage using curse words less to give them more of a punch, not censor them forcefully

and to reply to your example - of saying fuck after an argument - i disagree. i feel like if my sailor-tongued friend stormed out of a room and said “fuck!” i’d think dang, has he forgotten his lunch again? coffee too cold? i mean that’s his usual reaction to pretty much any inconvenience. but if my quiet and soft spoken friend stormed out a room and said “fuck!” i’d be petrified, what could’ve possibly happened to cause him enough distress to need to let it out like that? if it doesn’t take much to push you to use bad words, then the bad words don’t really carry weight. i personally do my best to avoid using the fucks and the shits as much as i can, so that when i do say them - those who know me can feel the weight behind my word choice

man, i simply want a 3D non-anime non-light novel non-tits the size of my screen porn game from a submissive perspective. the only one i managed to find is in beta (Carnal Instinct) and has been for at least a year

what makes this combo be such a unicorn of porn games istg, is being horny an anime-fan exclusive in gaming?

you said the same thing as me “age appropriate level” = “once the child can udnerstand contexts”. so i don’t get how i’m underestimating children here

my point was how not all answers will be good, or even if they are good, won’t be accepted by a kid, i’d rather wait until i’m sure they understand

honestly good, from what i’ve noticed adult games are waaaaaay more likely to become early access abandonware, i guess once the horniness runs out so does the motivation. and i’d like to finally play a game that’s horny, good, and finished. i may be into edging and denial but only consentually, ok?

we still wouldn’t get paid more if we converted to Euros, we’d just be paid in smaller looking numbers

it’s the devs/publishers yes

some time ago Palworld devs lowered the regional price for Poland as they noticed it was relatively more expensive for Poles to buy the game, they got a lot of praise for that

i tell stories and like having multiple tools in my arsenal to draw out the emotions i want. i don’t need to shock people with bad words to get the message i want across, in the same way i don’t need to add any spices to my food to make it edible. but in both cases i find that a little is much better than a lot

besides, the contents of what you say is often just as important as how you say it, which words you use and when affect the way your core message is understood. the easiest example is immigrant vs expat, same meaning, but one of those words, for some reason, makes a lot of people lose their minds

or ctrl +shift +t

(it reopens the last closed tab or window, can be spammed)

i’m in favour of vilifying a tiny set of words, not because i dislike them, but because in a way that vilification gives them power

if “fuck” is bascially a comma in someone’s vocabulary it’s not going to surprise anyone when they say it

but someone who’s quiet and never swears will immediately turn heads even if they mumble it under their nose, and that’s the sort of emotional response i want others to feel when they hear a swear word

by using “bad words” sparingly they gain the juicy weight, they gain an ability to convey heavy emotions without having to result to poetry
