  • Americans’ views of China more positive again in 2026

  • Hey man it's not my fault my taxes have funded genocide for decades.

  • China had a problem with violent Muslim extremism in Xinjiang 25-40 years ago.

    China started reeducation camps for them.

    The US has spent decades bombing and murdering Muslims creating more extremists.

    Which one is a better response to violent religious extremism?

  • Do you think there's too much emphasis in popular media on working your ass off?

    Jump

  • Maybe. This is all conjecture, but it seems convenient that Tupac who advocated for helping the poor in his music was murdered and all the black artists who popped up after him (Beyonce,JayZ, Kanye for example) are all about "get my money" music.

    Of course, I have no evidence, but if you've read about all the various CIA psyops over the past 80 years, it doesn't sound that far fetched.

  • This keeps coming up. Go Google search the last time China used military force to get something done.

    Eventually you have to realize the only people who see potential war everywhere are Americans.

  • The media is owned by capitalists. Anything that threatens capital needs to be snuffed out.

    This is Tupac who was murdered.

    This is Kanye West who is a professed Nazi and still alive.

    These songs were within a decade of each other. I know that's not enough data, but I think the differences in tone can be accounted for which was was more acceptable to power.

  • Thanks for sharing bro that's super interesting.

  • TIL One of the two brothers who founded the Guinness Book of World Records was assassinated by the IRA

    Jump

  • McWhirter put a bounty on them. I think whatever motivated this is more complicated than they just killed people.

  • What do you like about Lemmy? What could be improved?

    Jump

  • The userbase itself is preventing diversity by attacking anyone, often violently, who doesn't agree with them.

    People being mean to you in a text medium isn't violence bro

  • I echo this sentiment. Reddit is just better for niche stuff.

  • Crimson Desert sales top five million

    Jump

  • My YouTube feed has a million videos on this game. Every major media outlet has done multiple videos on this game and the bugs and the launch. I'm pretty plugged into the games industry and I hadn't heard of it until it launched but since then it has gotten a ton of press and I doubt it's just "word of mouth".

  • I just wanted to say that I disagree with your downvotes sir

  • We mock the people that named Mars after the god of war because it looked like blood, calling them ignorant and superstitious. But Mars is red because of the iron content, and so is blood. So really

  • Mars is red because there was enough oxygen to oxidize the iron.

  • There's oxygen on Mars. Just not enough for us to breathe.

  • Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time

  • I keep thinking that everyone who complains about video games today either has awful taste or only learns about the industry from media outlets. I personally think we're in something of a golden age. Death Stranding 2, Elden Ring, Balders Gate 3, Zelda Totk, Alan Wake 2, UFO 50, Donkey Kong Bananza, Balatro, Silksong, Kirby Air Riders, Clair Obscur, the Alters.

    And that's only in the last 3-4 years. If you pay attention to all kinds of budgets, there's a ton of great new games coming out all the time. Get out of your little corner of the Internet and you'll find PLENTY of great new games.

  • Dianna Russini resigns from The Athletic with defiant letter after Mike Vrabel photos

    Jump

  • All those eyewitnesses are snitches.

  • What's your special interest?

    Jump

  • Man I have so many interests. Playing basketball, lifting weights, learning Linux, learning how to self host, doing stand up comedy. Learning how to code a video game.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? April 14

    Jump

  • I'm currently reading "The Ax" by Donald Westlake. I think it was recommended in one of these threads a few months ago actually.

    It's about a paper salesman who murders people with similar resumes to himself in order to open up more job opportunities for himself. Its a pretty interesting perspective on capitalism.

  • Internet blackout leaves Iranians with little idea of how the war is actually going

    Jump

  • Hey I'm American and I have the Internet and I also have no idea how the war is going.

  • Microsoft reveals major price increase for all Surface PCs as RAM crisis continues

    Jump

  • I have a surface pro 4. I love these machines. You can use it like a tablet, you can use it like a laptop. It's great for drawing and taking notes by hand.

    The only problem is Windows, but that's not a big problem for the average person. The price of the new ones is a problem but I think the form factor is awesome.
