  • The bent pyramid is so cool, it’s the second pyramid they built that fucked up. Once they had to change the angle to stop the burial chambers from collapsing, they started work on the 3rd and final Red pyramid, which they nailed and buried Sneferu in.

    They used all that knowledge that they gained in failure directly to create the great pyramid. It’s a unbroken chain of engineering marvels!


  • IMO there’s also a contingent of people who are demotivated to participate. Lack of participation hurts Biden more than trump.

    Despite the danger, Trump doesn’t feel like an imminent threat to most people. He’s not motivating enough alone to bring out Democratic voters. However you do have a bunch of shit demotivating those voters. Gaza, money, immigration. The only big motivator is abortion, and Biden kinda flubbed that.

    A Dem win will be on abortion alone at this point, unless something huge changes.

    What does this mean, you admit this particular show is not very good but might eventually be good?

    This stupid woke/dei shit is just the culture war du jour, if the product that was being released was excellent, there wouldn’t be as much fuel to call a show bad for whatever reason.

    But as the previous poster noted, there have been properties that were celebrated on release because they are good. The first Mandalorian episodes meet a near orgasmic fervor.

    Acolyte at best is maybe just ok to not very compelling imo, that’s up against the other now recent star wars properties like Andor, which is and was critically acclaimed. The argument just falls apart when you use an objectively not very good show like Acolyte.




  • You would think so, right? But funnily enough, whenever we find a new type of hominid that existed around us (neanderthals, denisovans, homo florensiensis), we find out that humans interbred with them and they are a part of our modern human DNA.

    I bet humans learned to “other” things that look like humans so they could do things like avoid the sick and dead, dehuminize other tribes to kill them in war. All the very human things we do now.


  • That’s wild! The article mentions it a bit but based on your comment I did more research, black morels or morels in general can cause really bad gastro issues.

    Most articles and papers say is they are undercooked or just eating a ton of them like you did can cause what you felt on it’s own. You didn’t even have to eat a false morel! I had no idea, good to know!



  • You are dead on balls. If you ever get any additional experience hydroponically growing… Things… There’s a ton of micronutrients and minerals that a plant needs to fuel taste and smell.

    It’s mostly figured out and you can get a series of minerals and micronutrients chelated into a salt. They dissolve without large particulates in the water to not foul a water pump. Those are either suspended in solution or sold dry. You can even check how much available nutrition there is to a plant by checking the ppm and electrical conductivity of the water.

    Dead on about myco too, in soil or a soil mix, if you aren’t feeding water with properly mixed nutrients, you need both raw amendments (crushed up plants/shells/rocks/guano/insect frass)and myco/bacteria to break everything down and make them available to the plant.

    That’s for things you are growing for consumption, much less complicated if you just want something to be green, or flower with pretty colors.



  • No, but calling people a transphobe because they don’t vote with their wallet is literally crazy. A person purchasing a Harry Potter product is as much a transphobe as a person who purchases any item manufacturered in India, Vietnam, or China is laboring children.

    Tangentially yes, but not in any meaningful way. It’s just so important to you that people are willing to lie to you about it because it’s so not important to them.

    If political idealism is driving you, don’t be surprised when the other sides’ political idealism drives things in a different direction, see what I’m saying?

    Also, dope formatting, the bullet points are killing it 🤣


  • Did you just slippery slope into slavery because you were losing an argument? Did you just call me a conservative as a perjorative cause you don’t like my opinion? That’s crazy.

    Lemmy is the only place I can get called a liberal as fuck by a tankie and conservative by a culture warrior.

    Listen if you don’t have many friends who game, that doesn’t surprise me.

    Again, I like games, unless the studio is mistreating employees, I don’t fucking care! I’m sorry, that’s where I draw the line. Fuck Blizzard, fuck ubi soft, I don’t care whatever culture war garbage you want to engage in, it doesn’t effect me


  • Yeah see, you are one of those terminally online freaks who actually engage in this fucking nonsense. No one cared, everyone still bought the game, they just agreed with you to not get in an argument.

    Same with these freaks against sweet baby Inc, or people against stellar blade because of the model, or some idiot getting mad the main character has a natural bone structure.

    This shit only plays on these spaces, including Twitter and YouTube.

    Edit: in fact, I have a fun challenge for you. Now that most of the backlash has ended, ask howvl ever many of your friends have a steam account, who bought and hid it. You can hide them on steam, ask and see how many tell you the truth, I bet it won’t be only 1!


  • JK Rowling is for sure a transphobe, the backlash against that game (sales Numbers showed how many people have a shit about that connection) was stupid.

    The arguments were just something you agree with, I just wanted to play the game without engaging in the ridiculous and over the top backlash.

    It’s all the same shit, someone doesn’t want me to play a game cause they have some fucking issue, and I don’t care what it is! Big tits, the involvement of story consultants, the writer of the original story went insane, none of those things affect the game for me.


  • This shit gets astoundingly spicy, multiple groups planting extremely firm flags against each other. Somehow an attractive female character is a sign of the culture war. Both having one and not having one, it’s honestly very crazy and appears to be mostly a phenomenon on YouTube and Twitter/X.

    But yeah, people be throwing every insult in the book at eachother, it was not uncommon to be referred to as a transphobic bigot on the last one of these (Hogwarts legacy). It’s not uncommon to get referred to as a misogynistic bigot on this one.

    I’m trying not to engage, and if I actually want to play something that’s involved in one of these stupid fights (stellar blade now, Hogwarts then, or one of the games on the SBI detected group), I have to hide it on steam. Just cause I’m not sure if I’m gonna have to block one of my friends for being a fucking moron and both groups are rabidly angry at each other. Whether it’s legitimate or not, I don’t give a fucking shit!
