  • hol up. you're saying "being conservative" is an identity to these people like "being insufferably against anything conservative or R" ISN'T part of 90% of Lemmy Users Identity?

  • fundamental gun safety rules

    brandishing isn't a breaking a "fundamental gun safety rule". yes it can include pointing at someone, but simply SHOWING someone your holstered gun is considered brandishing. simply drawing your weapon can be considered brandishing. but it can also thwart people meaning to do harm. you insinuated that brandishing was only pointing a gun at someone, thus breaking one of the 4 fundamental safety rules.

  • ok, but what does it have to do with this?

  • you realize 'brandishing' doesn't mean pointing at, right? you get that don't you?

  • what does this have anything to do with vegas? the parade was in kansas city...

  • I see this soooo much on Lemmy. even more so than on reddit.

  • Thank you for proving my point.

  • Stereotypes exist for a reason. They aren't made up, non-existent characteristics. 90% of people that are getting offended by such things are not even part of the group that's being stereotyped. It's usually white liberals that are "offended" by any of this. Are they beneficial? probably not, but they sure are not nearly as harmful as people like you make them out to be. As a straight white man, I'm vilified by the mob regardless of my positions on anything, and that in itself is a stereotype. So I don't put any stock into hypocritical perceived slights against humanity.

  • eh. i get the 'need' for these companies to have the disclaimers and i honestly appreciate that they are not changing anything here. but the mob is fickle and seemingly can't distinguish real life from the online life where being offended somehow gives them clout.

  • This is fine, no issues really, but if you're offended by something in a video game fictional story that was made over 20 years ago you should go touch grass.

  • people with an extreme moral superiority complex emboldened by the anonymity of the internet.

  • In these situations 6 months is exactly what I'd imagine. Where I live I can't imagine any house staying vacant for 6 months. It costs more to rent a house here than it does to buy one. My mortgage payment is $1400/month, but I could rent my house for over $3k a month. it's ridiculous.

  • to be fair it's leveled out since. it's still up that much, but didn't continue the meteoric rise.

  • did you read the article?

  • i HIGHLY doubt the houses being referenced in the article have been vacant for 7-20 years.

  • they don’t appreciate nearly fast enough to make up for the lack of income.

    depends on where you are. i bought a new house 3 years ago and within a year the value of my house had increased nearly 100k.

  • I think EA makes games like this to reinforce THEIR notion that single player games are dead so they can use that as leverage to make more "games as a service". If they made things people actually wanted to play, they'd find that single player (yes even shooter) games are still just as popular as they ever were and poorly thought out, poorly executed, and poorly marketed games still suck.

  • I get frustrated with these platforms trying to turn into these 'do it all' applications. discord was fine before they started adding all the bullshit in everywhere. it was a great chat place with 'rooms' for different groups of people or friends. kinda like how spotify seems to be trying to morph into some social music sharing crap. i don't use spotify to be social, i use it to listen to fucking music.
