Wow that California vote is atrocious. Thanks for your time

We have those too, it’s just not what pisses people off. What pisses people off is our critical support of Russia, our support of China, DPRK, etc.

Might be true for lemmygrad, but for hexbear I’ve seen more people complaining about ‘trolls’ or ‘edgy teens’ than just communists. And the unwavering support from both these instances for the 2nd world makes me distrustful as well. Many people here seem more driven by 2nd world nationalism rather than just communism or anti imperialism

making a point of how bloodthirsty and set Americans can be on these things (genocide)

I guess it’s a good time as any to ask, do you (and other people here) really mean it when you say things like this or are they understood as hyperboles? “never attribute to malice what can be to incompetence” applies commonly in politics (as evidenced by that post about has Joe Biden dropped out Google trend) and is especially the case of Palestine imo. You could say regardless of if it’s hate or ignorance the result doesn’t change and I’d agree but it still doesn’t feel right to straight up call them bloodthirsty

I thought its message was “not picking a side isn’t morally superior to picking a side even if picking a side doesn’t change the outcome, people will die either way and the guy holding the lever is a literal nazi”, which in my opinion extends to “so if picking a side has a chance to make it better it is immoral to not try”.

I’m not here to convince anyone of that, I was just confused why someone from here would make a meme seemingly mocking the usual hexbear position but it seems this was edited from a liberal meme

I’ve been learning to try to not flame as much as I lost quite a bit of control in the past two days

You’re doing good, thanks for taking the time to write this and sorry for assuming you were being hostile too. OP posted the original version of this meme in he other thread, which apparently didn’t have a text bubble for the above guy. It makes a bit more sense that this didn’t originate here.

I wasn’t trying to invalidate the meme referencing voting third party, it just seemed very much like a satirical mockery of doing so. I was confused why such a meme would be posted here, and if it wasn’t satire why op would make the bottom left guy’s speech so on the nose.

This being a criticism of us electoral system works, but even with the added nazi its other message also works for me (“not participating in electoral system wouldn’t be morally superior on its own even if the electoral system didn’t do anything [and was in the hands of nazis]”). But I think I’m overthinking it and this was supposed to be a low overhead ‘look how ridiculous their memes about us are’ post.

Expecting you or other communists here to spend all your mental bandwidth trying to be kind to strangers isn’t reasonable but I can’t but think if it would be better if this was a kinder place and didn’t get blocked by seemingly the most of lemmy users.

Calling my question stupid and that I don’t deserve an actual answer (justifying the other person quipping at ) isn’t rude? Your confrontational stance and underhandedly calling me a fascist isn’t rude? How would you rather have me ask if this meme is satire or geniune?

Some part of me refuses to believe that a stranger on the internet (and a leftist at that) told me to cry. WTF is wrong with you

Because I keep deluding myself every couple months into thinking I can have a normal fucking conversion with someone from this instance if I just walk on egshells. I have not talked down to anyone or attacked anyone, I haven’t even tried to argue against views I disagree with. All I was trying to do is learn if this post was genuine or satirizing what is depicted. In actually about to cry about this. Why are you so rude

And still, choosing an empty track doesn’t do anything neither other than letting the person on the bottom feel better about themselves. If the guy on the top is a play on the liberal ‘choose the lesser evil’ sentiment, what is the bottom guy about?

It’s valuing spiritual cleanliness (intellectual opposition to genocide) as much, if not more than material effects of real world actions. Or in the case of this meme, acting as if choosing an unrelated empty track is morally superior to pulling a lever that controls nothing.

I don’t intend to change anyone’s minds, I just thought the meme was too on the nose to be genuine

This makes more sense, thanks

Your answer was more run around still without an answer to the question I asked in the first place and I thought it was disingenuous to point out that question/discussion communities exist as an answer to me asking why the only reply to my honest question was a wisecrack

Can communists not communicate without resorting to wisecracks, gotchas and meme images? Why is commenting on hexbear always such an emotional burden?

Sorry for not being in the same frequency as you but I genuinely can’t tell if this is critisizing the holier than thou attitudes in hexbear or supporting it. I think it’s quite unfair to reduce that to media illiteracy.

I honestly can’t tell if this is satire. Do you really think ‘choosing’ an unrelated empty track is some kind of moral high ground?

Still no buffer to RAM :/

These kinds of things never happen to me, could it be because I have all the tracking stuff disabled?? /s

This is kind of a strange article. Of course a court isn’t going to judge by someone’s character or good karma. If the judgement seems too high the blame should be on charging for someone else’s crime (deterrent sentences) and what is written as acceptable in the book

No

There was an update this February according to apkmirror. But it’s delisted from Google play

That website was really tempting… until I remembered that these run on AA batteries and don’t have gyro or a touchpad. M$ really selling an 85$ controller without the features of the 50$ ps5 controller

Edit: apparently dualsense are 75$ now?? Wtf. and apparently they’ve never been 50$? Just discard my comment

I see, I don’t consciously think about the map/level design when playing something so my opinion of doom comes from its mechanics and presentation, both of which are lacking in comparison to what indie boomer shooters have today.

find better examples of them (Bioshock

I don’t know if I played it wrong or something but I really didn’t like bioshock 1. It lasted like twice as long as it was fun and as time passed enemies just got spongier. Ammo is super scarce in the beginning and super common at the end. Shooting not very satisfying. The existence of the elemental gun. Bioshock 2 was much better imo

I meant it as “yes why did you ask?”

I don’t have strong feelings about level design. I think the levels I enjoyed the most were in other episodes. If this is about the keys I’m neutral about them, I like exploring everywhere anyways so I’d just collect them on the way. I don’t know what else to say

I feel the same way for smb. It has historical importance but it’s not up to the quality standards of today. I like the digital movement, feels better than the analogue stick in nwerer games
