If they’re getting inundated with it to the point it’s affecting their actual mental health, then they obviously need to change something. Whether it’s the quantity or the quality of the content they consume. Logging off and going outside is always an option.

Is that supposed to be some grand statement? Yeah, I enjoy occasionally posting on stuff like this - never said otherwise.

If someone is engaging in a certain kind of content, I would argue that’s the content they want to see. It might not be what they enjoy seeing, or what’s good for them, but you can’t seek out right wing content and then tell me you don’t want to see right wing content. At some point, there has to be a level of personal liability here.

As someone that doesn’t use social media outside of Lemmy, it’s really not as hard as people seem to make it out to be.

I mean, it’s not like social media doomerism is some mandatory thing. The internet shows us what we want to see - if someone wants to spend their whole life reading about every possible bad thing in the world, that’s on them.

Do people really talk about their metabolism that much? Or are some people just so self-conscious about their weight and eating habits that they place particular weight on those comments such that they appear to be more frequent than they actually are?

Trying to create more UCP voters.

It certainly makes it hard for me, as a fan of actual games like Rogue, to find said games when the genre is so flooded with literally every other game out there.

That’s the weird thing is that what people call a “roguelike” now is just what pretty much every game was back in the day.

“Turing Completeness” != “Turing Test”

Sorry to go on a well-trodden tangent, but it really is unfortunate how diluted the term “roguelike” has become.

I assume this is a joke?

So excited for this. Out of all the awesome stuff, I honestly think I’m most looking forward to the items that expire. That’ll be super interesting to design around.
