The trade-off of losing online features when emulating Nintendo games has never really felt that bad mostly because Nintendo’s online capabilities have always been total ass.

I guess let me know when the revolution starts or when you figure out how to overthrow the two party system since they are clearly identical and equally bad.

Now I’m a big brain enlightened centrist who can feel good and smart about doing absolutely nothing to help anyone.

Thank you for the information, you can lecture me all about how much worse Democrats are when we share a cell in El Salvador.

All playable on PC for sure.

I can’t wait to see the exact same argument play out every day in the Right Wing Gulag while a bunch of people try to convince me that the Left Wing Gulags would have been just as bad.

I’ve been trying to figure out if there is a way to do it with the new 8BitDo Ultimate controller but I don’t know that it’s possible. I’ve seen maybe you can switch it to direct input mode somehow to map the paddles but I hadn’t had any success.

OpenSUSE gives out cute little chameleon plushies and if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right.

YouTube is the worst for this.

You barely get results related to your search terms at all before it shows you blocks of completely interrelated “shorts” and then just a feed of your subscriptions and recommended content.

I feel like we need a less invasive form of age verification or we need actual data privacy laws in the US with some teeth. As it is right now it’s basically a guarantee that your ID and facial data will be in a breach eventually. Seems like every site will require this once it starts.

I’m partial to Chef John’s Carbonara. It’s been a favorite of mine for a while and his videos help me get the hang of tricky techniques.

Can someone use plain words to explain what happened here? Were pubes visible or something and they CGI’ed them out?

Never heard of this movie or anything about it but trying to piece it together from context clues in this thread is very confusing.

That’s not Jesus, that’s Willem Dafriend.

Everyone on the fediverse is Nicole and you can’t prove otherwise.

I never update my spell book and nothing bad has ever happened.

Help. Infernal imps somehow got inside my sanctum and used my scrying orb to send rude messages to the rest of the Circle.

Normally I could do this ritual with a single symbol but there is no support for primordial glyphs in this arcane framework unless you rewrite the whole thing in Elder Speech.

Okay so let’s accept the premise of this post for a minute: “Both major political parties in the US are equally bad.”

What am I supposed to do now? What action can I take to facilitate change?

I’d argue that this is a perspective that simply isn’t helpful even if true. I think it’s an excuse to tune out instead of getting engaged. I think it’s an excuse to wish for a better future instead of putting in the real work it takes to make systemic changes that can actually improve people’s lives. It’s a perspective that encourages doing nothing because ‘nothing matters anyway’.

I suppose I don’t see that as a productive perspective? You’re not offering any solutions or actions to take to enact the change you want to see besides doing nothing until we collectively figure out how to have a revolution.

The system is flawed. Maybe you’re right that it is fundamentally broken and cannot be reformed but disengaging from voting only supports the status quo and those that are already in power. I think it’s worth it to vote for candidates that share some of the same values as me even if they aren’t perfect while continuing to put political pressure on leaders that are not serving the public effectively. I would vote for someone one day and join a protest against them the next day, I do not see that as a contradiction. That is just being civically engaged.

Also I know I’m probably coming in hot here but I’m truly not mad or upset. I think these are the sorts of conversations on Lemmy that are really great and hard to have in other settings. I appreciate your thoughtful responses. It seems like we’re pretty aligned on what the problems are. I’m very open to solutions that don’t involve harming others but if you aren’t a voter I’d strongly encourage you to consider voting, though I agree that voting alone will not solve every problem.

No problem at all, I’m already revolting.
