Same. I forgot to mention that I like to buy cheaper games through second hand rather than paying full price on electronic stores. Often even their big sales aren’t as cheap as secondhand.

And thank you for being so welcoming to this new community! It’s awesome seeing someone letting redditors in and showing them around Lemmy.
I still buy physical whenever I can. I’d hate to have my entire collection beholden to one account, although I know people do that with the PS Store, or Game Pass, or Steam. I don’t trust corporations, I guess. I really hope they don’t make disc-less consoles the standard.
Hwa trying to start World War 3 to stay in power. And the US looks like they’re going to let him…
There are lots of journalists in Gaza from all over. Where did you get the idea they only allow aljazeera in there? Israel is the one killing reporters btw, not Hamas.
The rest of your comment is pretty abhorrent. They are killing the young before they pick up a weapon. I like how you put “young” in quotes as if this 10 year old is a hardened terrorist soldier that deserves to die. (Warning, starving child picture, NSFL). Read the ICC case It’s very obvious it’s a genocide once you combine their actions with the words. This interview with an Israeli holocaust scholar also gives a good summary of why it’s textbook case of genocide.
Hey @OddQuality@lemmy.ca! I also use Sync and looked around my settings and couldn’t find it, so let me know if you figured it out. If not, you can also ask on the Sync community on Lemmy if you haven’t. Looks like there’s two, with the first being more popular, but you can ask on either or both.
Well, there’s a difference between settler colonialism (which replaces the indigenous population) and the sort of imperialist and classic colonialism in a lot of parts of this map, where people move in and resources are extracted, but you’re left with a traumatized population instead of a genocided one, like in North and South America as well as Australia, so we’d expect the results to probably be different.
Not that I think religion helps these matters, as the US which is slowly turning Christo-fascist and reversing LGBTQ rights, probably not coincidentally, shows. I just don’t agree with the Islamophobia part. Christianity looks pretty draconian on these issues too in some parts of Africa.
Idk about the others, but for Afghanistan, it’s probably because it was taken over by religious fundamentalists trained, supported, and armed by Pakistan, Iran, and the US in order to fight off Soviet Union influence, along with some other countries (China, UK, probably some others). They basically invaded because they were called in by the local government afraid of these terrorist groups, who also called problems in the Soviet Union (similar to the US invading after 9/11). (Interestingly enough, the Pakistan influence can also be said to be a result of colonialism since it’s existence is basically a result of English colonialism in India and the Middle-East.) After this, Afghanistan was basically a civil war zone between religious fundamentalist warlords fighting each other, the most extreme being the Taliban, but the other US allied ones weren’t great, either, and were all still fundamentalist Muslim.
The official anti-LGBT laws were vague when the Republic (the Soviet friendly government) was in charge, all of the terrible attitudes were probably still there but under religious rules and unofficial, and being invaded by the USSR for years never helps those kinds of things, either. It was more intense when the US friendly war lords were in charge and made Sharia more official, making LGBTQ laws worse as a sort of collateral. It then got even worse when the Taliban officially took over, now it’s even more explicit and the punishment even worse (death). I haven’t read the article yet so not sure if it talks about any of these things, or if I got anything super off, but I’ve just been listening and reading stuff about this lately and felt I could contribute lol.
Seems easier than going back to Reddit. Especially since the apps make it so easy to switch between accounts.
Why not just make an account on a different instance?
Happy cake day! You contribute so much to Lemmy and it’s appreciated! =D
I’d compare it to 5.5.
I didn’t even know Reddit had an offline reader app.
That’s horrible. This may sound controversial, but I’m going to say it anyway, screw the down votes: I don’t like Saddam Hussein. He was a bad dude.
Loves the book! Never got around to watching the movie.
I was someone who just stumbled onto this from my Everything page and doesn’t know much about linguistics, what’s a grapheme? Is that like a letter?
I love me some Spirit Island. I still need to play with the newest expansions I got.
Ya I think it all builds on each other. Plus the experience has gotten less premium. For that price I shouldn’t see any phones or hear any people having lots conversations.
But maybe that get less true as the theaters get more empty =(
Thanks! Damn, I’ll probably end up going these but I’m running out of room for my rpg books lol.
Ya that’s why I don’t like all the instances that like defederation 😩
