I try and find the perfect position to make my farts resonate for maximum woyoyoyo effect.

76·2 days agoI wonder what in the world finally convinced them. Are they not making enough money with the death of Ukrainians?
The minister also stressed that “at no point should Belgium’s hesitations, or its refusal to make use of the frozen assets, be understood or interpreted as a lack of willingness to help Ukraine, and even less as a wish to provide any kind of help to Russia.”
suuuuure

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Rather than calling for GTA 6 boycott, fired Rockstar workers urge players to support them in their legal battle against the studio by buying union merch
1·2 days agoThank you :) I’ve only been aware of the term “crime syndicate” but never looks up the single term syndicate. You learn something new everyday!

33·2 days agoYes! Make a union, start a unionized game studio, and make better games. The talent is all there.
1 divided by 1/2 = 2

science@lemmy.world•France’s nuclear fleet gives it one of the world’s lowest-carbon electricity grids
4·3 days agoForgotten is the decade Germany was buying nuclear energy from France because it couldn’t generate enough of its own and renewables couldn’t carry even a tiny bit of the load.

science@lemmy.world•France’s nuclear fleet gives it one of the world’s lowest-carbon electricity grids
55·4 days agoHad the Greens across Europe not been so staunchly anti-nuclear, it wouldn’t have been a thing and we would already have been way more climate neutral. Instead they tried to jump the gun and go from worst energy generation for the planet and people to quite good without having a transitional period. They aimed for perfect and idealistic, not pragmatic and efficient.
Of course the bloody conservatives and right-wingers are the main reason we’re here, but still, going “hah, it’s the lowest carbon solution we have, but because my ideals are against it, I’ll point out the extreme situations it doesn’t work in” is still petty.

4·6 days agoI see where you’re coming from now and can understand your line of thinking. It is a difficult question because it is difficult to predict. Gaming is also a source of radicalisation.
Whether removing it altogether would lead to a sizable mass of men to become politically active and engaged, that I kind of doubt. Gaming is more accessible now and there are many poor men that game. Poverty goes hand in hand with worse education and more precarity. Removing one source of distraction from a badly and/or insufficiently educated man would not necessarily lead to an awareness of the source of their struggles. It might make them receptive to influences claiming to know the source of their struggles, but unfortunately, I believe that most of those influences are controlled by those who actually are the source of the problem.
IMO, there’s a greater chance of more affluent and educated gamers to become aware of the circumstances. But they often will not be the ones doing the damage IRL as they have more to lose than the lower classes. Times are changing and they also possess less, especially housing, so the uber-rich might actually be creating a system where even “affluent” and educated people have so little to lose that they are willing to actually gamble and go protest, try to change the system, and violently or peacefully enact change.
In summary, my guess is that removing gaming wouldn’t change much - unless if it were done suddenly e.g the state said gaming is now illegal.

262·6 days agoWomen escape reality with youtube, tabloids, tiktok, instagram, and more. They don’t need gaming to be distracted and yet, they are. Guys would just find another thing to be distracted by.
There’s another article (thread) saying there is no loneliness epidemic but a poverty epidemic. And yes, that’s the problem: the uber-rich just have taken as much as they could and will continue to take more. They bought up our apartments, our debt, our third places, are playgrounds, and more. They own the media to tell us that the problems are all due to minorities that have no power and want us to look down or be distracted by services that we give all our information too, and allow them to find more ways to hook us into distractive crap so that we don’t look up.

I think that crown goes to Xitter now. Hopefully there’s detection of Xitter screenshots too. Fuck that place.
