I’m too lazy to look it up right now but there have definitely been cheaters in Rocket League. The fact that it isn’t a shooter is actually made it easy to cheat in; when there’s no precedent for what cheating even looks like, how do you spot it? I remember a few years ago there was a whole scandal where it turned out someone who was famous for making trickshots had some kind of bot that was able to calculate exactly how to hit the ball midair and send it into the goal.

Considering how much leeway we give food companies to lie about how they label their products, I have absolutely no faith we’ll correct the advertising here either
While the letters are adjacent, I don’t think that was a typo. “Finna” is pretty common slang, just a variant of “gonna”

I haven’t had ants, specifically, but I have eaten termites. Can I join anteater club?
they do not have nearly enough people to demand obedience
Depends on who’s in charge of the bombs and drone swarms. I honestly think the only reason society still exists as we know it is that none of the conservatives are yet fully confident that they have complete, unquestioning control of the arsenal. We’re living in an era where it really only takes a few hundred people, maybe a few thousand, to kill millions. Hundreds of millions. Billions if they start using nukes. What do they care if they take out the people who kept the weapons working? These psychos would only have to use them once and then they’d have power feudal lords and kings could only dream of.
As horrible and inhumane as the US was during wars like Iraq and especially Vietnam, we were still constrained on some level. No matter how indiscriminately our troops were allowed to murder civilians, ultimately, indiscriminate killing wasn’t the main order coming down from very top. When Vietnam finally got so unpopular that even manufactured consent wasn’t cutting it for public support, we pulled out, instead of glassing the country and leaving as few survivors as possible. Again, not that Vietnam was in any way a moral war; I don’t want to minimize how many firebombs we dropped on innocent people, but there was some limit. Hell, even Russia has so far limited itself in how far it’ll go in trying to conquer Ukraine.
But… I’m not sure that’ll be the case for much longer if these fascists are allowed to continue to control the levers of power.
Luckily they’re all backed by billionaire investors so they can afford to see the frivolous suits through. The self-censorship is something they do by design, not a response to any actual threat.
Honestly, those aren’t that much crazier than thinking smoking and drinking are somehow good for you. If this goes on, it’s only a matter of time.
Definitely document. You interrupt, they’ll just remove you or make a new group chat and move on. Document and disseminate.
It seems like it works most of the time so I don’t know why it would be inconsistent. I’ve also never seen it go bigger than -1
It’s something to do with how Piefed interacts with Voyager. Never seen it on my Lemmy account or on the browser version of Piefed. boy do I love being immediately proven wrong, this post is currently at -1 both in Voyager and on browser https://piefed.ca/post/114465
Does it still say -1 for you? For me it’s a positive 1
Judging by the way they spelled “teeny,” I can’t help but wonder if they might also be familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet
Ehh being annoyed at someone else for being an asshole isn’t equivalent to being annoyed that someone else exists. You don’t seem hypocritical to me

“Forcing” would be more accurate. “Helping” is a very pointed choice of words here, as that would imply supporting science. Maybe they could start by not promoting policies that reduce access to IVF.
i dunno, i think there’s a pretty good chance the wsj just bends over and issues a retraction and apology without ever going to court, so trump gets to claim another legal “”“win”“”
Yeah I remember during the campaign he said he’d never called for Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned and I was like, “ok c’mon, even his most diehard supporters can’t possibly forget chanting ‘lock her up’ at every fucking rally. Surely now they will have to admit he lies about even obvious facts.”
Lol. Lmao.
Yeah, isn’t aging straight up caused by degradation during replication, like oxidation or something? I feel like being immortal would necessarily imply we fixed that shit
