Why the oddly specific time period? Is something happening in a month, or are you doing something so that you won’t feel like this in a month?

Some of us live in functioning democracies where “switch to USB-D” won’t come with an “it’s illegal to give your son a name that wasn’t previous a job title” attachment.

All the Gamestops in my country shut down, because memes can’t pay commercial rates or corporation tax

This depends on your client. A lot of them hide responses in the same way Reddit did.

Those are Great

I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

So… is Bay over Bae canon now?

What on earth are you talking about? What start button is in the middle?

This attitude towards the downvote button came from reddit, because Reddit started hiding responses with an arbitrary number of downvotes, which most Lemmy clients emulate. That’s how it stifles conversation.

Is this in answer to something or just a passing thought?

Outright stating that you are trying to destroy conversation- congrats, you have provided a great example of a real reason to downvote.

I don’t know how you got from point 1 (which is valid - but do you think there aren’t Germans who will say yes?) to point 2?

How does an something being an answer on a survey make it a reasonable answer? If surveys should be limited to reasonable answers, how do we ever quantify how many unreasonable people exist?

The downvote button is not the “I disagree” button. It’s a “this is irrelevant or destructive to the conversation” button. “I get what you’re saying but I disagree” to me indicates you don’t think my comment was either.

If the question was phrased as “Is the German national team diverse enough?” - which asks for the same opinion - would that be somehow better?

This type of finger-in-ear nonsense is the type of behaviour that leads to Germans supporting a genocide in 2024 and AfD’s success being a surprise.

I don’t think a survey question can be racist. An answer can, and I’m not sure that not knowing the answer is better than knowing it.

Edit: No wrongthink on feddit.de, got it.

Oh I’m sure it’s not wasted work. But any content delivered now, for free, is in direct competition with buying a whole new game, probably for >=$70. I guess they’re very confident in the new game modes or something.

I’m surprised to see this update- I thought MS were making a “new” Flight Simulator for this year. I’m aware that content creation and game creation are usually quite separate but odd that they’d be release stuff to “keep” you on the “old”/current FS iteration.

I think it was Ubuntu snaps
