LwL , to Lefty Memes in America is in danger of Fascism

China has an active genocide going on, recently effectively annexed Hong Kong, and is threatening Taiwan. They're also a dictatorship, while the US at least has some semblance of democracy. A country like that exerting their power over the world unchecked seems in no way better. Probably not really worse than the US either, at least whenever there's a republican president.

LwL , to Technology in Steam announces game recording beta.

Achievements or multiplayer matching not being implemented in the game itself isn't on GOG. They still allow you to download and launch any game you've bought, without even requiring galaxy.

Also lesser known is the fact that there are DRM-free games on steam. Download them once, you can play without having steam running or even installed. Using a client to download isn't inherently DRM either.

LwL , to Technology in Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party lose EU Parliament seats

The second highest voted thing is mildly misleading because left parties are a lot more fractured, especially in EU elections. The afd could have 11% while 9 left wing partirs have 9.8% and be the most voted party, but that would be a better result than we have now with it being the second most voted.

The results are bad, but 16% is at least nowhere nesr a majority. I'm honestly more concerned about the CDU moving closer to the afd and still ending up with 30%, seems almost like many people don't like the afd because they've been told afd bad, but still agree with much of their ideology.

I do this, I hate it, but I can't get rid of it so I've started to accept it.

LwL , to Comic Strips in Pure light being

I agree with pretty much all of that but I still wouldn't say I hate dogs, both because none of that is the dogs fault and it's still possible to have pleasant interactions with one. I would just much rather not be around a dog than be around one. This might just be a difference in what hate implies.

I feel similarly about children. Theyre loud and annoying and I dislike being around them, but I still have no intention of ever hurting one and would like them to be happy anyway.

LwL , to Comic Strips in Pure light being

There are animal haters that poison them. It's not entirely a false equivalency.

The issue with it mainly comes from dogs being a different species while humans are still just humans and someones skin color has no significant correlation to their behaviour.

It's still similarly stupid to hate all dogs by default because dogs still have personalities and some can be just fine. And I say this as someone that doesn't like most dogs either.

LwL , to Comic Strips in Some "Law"

The intro to the very article you linked states 3 exceptions lol

LwL , to Memes in Last one, i've been farming Ai for memes but last one with lore

Can't wait for that one to go horribly wrong.

LwL , to 196 in vampire rule

Youtube has forced it onto their creators for a while. Censor swears or risk upsetting the almighty algorithm and getting demonetized, because apparently american companies don't like being associated with swearing.

LwL , to Memes in We were in a discussion about preffered standard salt (Sea Salt) when..

If it's a public server (which the op would imply) then it's a problem because any idiot could join. Of course for some small server with friends it's fine. Though I have it off on mine anyway because people assume they don't have perms and will just write @everyone anyway

LwL , to Memes in We were in a discussion about preffered standard salt (Sea Salt) when..

Allowing everyone to ping @everyone is asking for it though.

LwL , to Lefty Memes in Break all the rules

Actually determining the total gain seems insanely hard to impossible. Percentage of turnover is just easier to implement, and still effective if it can scale up as it can for gdpr.

LwL , to Comic Strips in Hail, Caesar [Scott Hilburn]

More like because finding english speaking actors is a lot easier in an english speaking country, and also the writer likely doesn't speak every language that would be relevant. Plenty of countries don't get dubs of movies or series and people can still understand and enjoy them just fine. Though it probably increases appeal or there just wouldn't br dubs.

LwL , to 196 in rule

It's easy to say everyone should have human rights. But what if one person goes against anothers human rights? What is a just punishment?

And that's before even getting into what rights people should have. You can very easily have everyone be theoretically equal while still effectively disadvantaging some people (and getting rid of that entirely is not even possible, we can just minimize it). There's a lot to debate.

What I don't get is why there would ever be a debate about excluding some people from human rights without them first violating others'. The only argument for that is "if we oppress this group, this other group will have better lives". Which is often true, sure, but that's just being a selfish asshole.

LwL , to 196 in rule

I once failed a test in politics class because after examining both sides I stated this issue does not affect me and I can see merit in both positions, therefore I do not have an opinion on the correct course of action.

Not like the grade mattered in the slightest but that was actual bullshit.
