“National pride isn’t toxic if the if the identity was made up enough lifetimes ago” is the message I get from people who aren’t American or Canadian.

Pixel phones cost several times what my phone costed.

I agree with most of this, but Lemmy isn’t popular enough to decide the election.

I think there is an AI bubble, but the aftermath will be like the dot com bubble: the internet didn’t go away, but a bunch of businesses that were only ever valuable because they were on the internet did.

OpenAI won’t go away, but a bunch of companies whose products are pretty much wrappers for ChatGPT will.

You know millennials are the least fascist generation right?

I believe the only reason adult games aren’t as popular in Western countries as they are in Japan (and I think elsewhere in Asia?) is because there’s a stereotype that they’re low quality, which came about because of the ESRB (not sure about other countries’ rating systems) basically making it so there was no money in it in a pre-digital download world.

They come for the things nobody would be caught dead defending (often even people who privately engage in it) first. Look at how during the thing with payment processors and porn games, some people were saying they didn’t mind if it were just the rape games being banned. Those are used as justification for speech restrictions to the public.

(I don’t even think KiwiFarms should be legal personally, Chris Chan’s story should be considered evidence enough that they’re a harassment forum)

4chan’s creativity died when the first Soyjak was posted.

That was the Weimar Republic.

this post made me consider getting off lemmy

Canada got the message. Why don’t you?

Yeah…but at this point there’s more important things at stake :/ (referring to Newsom’s effort)

Trump could get overthrown tomorrow and Lemmy Europeans would find a way to bitch about it

You were getting sports?

It’s not even that I really want sports as much as that I get nothing but tech, politics, Star Trek, and memes on here unless I search for it and even then it’s not a lot.

Democratic primary challengers

Berlin could get nuked and Lemmy users would call it a distraction from Gaza

“No ethnic nationalists”

I hate it when Europeans bitch and moan about how much American news they get. I’d be a hypocrite to whine about the one piece of news I get from the most populous country in the world, which is actually kinda similar to something Trump would do.

Who’s memory? Am I too not-a-Southerner for this meme?
