  • Dev says "false DMCA" from Microsoft got their sandbox game removed from Steam over apparent Minecraft copyright, all because of a screenshot of birch trees

    Jump

  • I'm all for new takes on the block game (been looking forward to Hytale and will definitely give it a go sometime in the near future) but after watching the trailer...

    It would be hard for me to tell this isn't Minecraft if I didn't watch or look into the game on a semi regular basis. It looks incredible derivative.

    I'm not saying it's necessarily in need of the copyright strike I don't know the rules, but I'm not surprised it got one.

    So. Immediate feelings of outrage followed by a mental shrug post trailer viewing.

  • Sounded really nice UNTIL you get the FULL story

  • Arnie slept with his maid

  • Informative review

    Jump

  • This is a wild take. Genuinely worried about how you are viewing the folks you interact with.

    I spent a fair amount of time working in the food industry. It is way easier to just say what you legitimately would recommend rather then come up with a bizzare lie.

  • Trump to offer Putin access to Alaska's natural resources in exchange for ending war

    Jump

  • It's sort of an odd position that exists right now in the anti Trump world.

    I think the cavorting with Putin is definitely problematic but if I spoke about my reasons why it wouldn't likely resonate with anyone pro-trump.

    However, if you point out his "beta" moves it seems to cut a bit deeper or resonate with the folks near the fence and might be more effective at moving the needle.

    BUT then you have used "man-o-sphere" language to convince folks and that in and of itself is a dangerous space to occupy or push folks towards.

    So then need to consider if the bully language is more of a backpedal or is it worth it to get the result folks are looking for.

    It's just a whole lot of unpleasant and hasn't even hit upon the host of other troubling problems that are happening or looming.

    It's bad in a way that makes me feel like we won't see any reform untill there is massive upheaval.

    So not sure if trying to call out/downvoting the fellow raging against the machine is the real solution but if it works for you I'm glad.

    Not ment to be a criticism of your post, just wanted to type out the thought, I don't usually post but find writing stuff out helps me cope/think through the ick.

  • Mate, I felt the same way. Made no sense to me. Give me an "..." or something.

  • Be Famous | Poorly Drawn Lines

  • Clearly from not "Canada in the late 80s"

  • You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

    Jump

  • 100% agree.

    Most of my news has been through an active interest on the YouTube. Glad too see such a large turnout, it's been a wild ride. Pretty scary to watch at times, hard to really tell what the actual consensus is on the ground level.

    Good to see people taking action.

  • Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’

    Jump

  • Yeah, I find it kinda funny that the "great again" era that is constantly referenced is actually this era of loosing the House and the Senate that is specifically being refrenced now. Mate, you can't have it both ways; do you want the house and the Senate and the House or do you want it to be "great again?"

  • Bernie Sanders to Force Vote on Blocking Bombs for Israel’s Destruction of Gaza

    Jump

  • Mate, I get exactly what your throwing down. This whole thread is wild. The disconnect is absurd. I feel like folks are trolling? I honestly am baffled.

  • Anti-acknowlegements

    Jump

  • Without any context it or history its just kinda dickish? Like maybe a good burn to a rival in some sort of relevent scenairo but this just sounds like an attempt to belittle someone by "mistaking" them for something "lesser" then when called on it they double down?

    Strikes me as grade school level bullying at best 🤷

  • America first

    Jump

  • Why create the "yeah but" space?. If someone points out that there is a problem with gun violence in America the response should be "yeah, that's not good, we should try and figure out some sort of solution" not "yeah but we donate the most in foreign aid".

    I'm sincerely not taking the piss. I feel like creating that sort of space is dangerous not only because it avoids accountability but also because it feels nice and its easy to do.

    But nothing you said is wrong, I don't think ill of you, not trying to catch you out, I agree with what you are saying. Was just trying to help you follow the thought you were on to see where it would get you.

  • America first

    Jump

  • Any reason you can think of why that might be the case?

  • Tony Hinchcliffe: Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage'

    Jump

  • Same feeling I've been having.

  • is ADHD harder to manage with time?

    Jump

  • Dealing with this as well. Pretty crippling when I find myself without an engaging hobby. It got really bad during the COVID years.

    Finding the slow plod out of the depths has be helped by creative activities. I have about 5 projects on the go currently. As ambitious as making a video game to as unimportant as making a small felted sheep.

    I didn't get my diagnosis till I was in my 40s but I found the professional acknowledgement to be helpful. I find it a lot easier to forgive myself for the wasted time and unfinished projects. I've also found the ability to forgive myself makes returning to dormant projects a lot easier.

    I recently moved to the back and beyond (not helpful at all) but it highlighted how important it is to have people that move you away from your patterned behaviors. Face to face time with another person with ADHD and the same interests is a gold mine for helping break routine getting you to engage and making you feel positive about who and what you are.

    Don't get down on yourself for not being able to find the answers right away. Look for the small things that make life easier and the moments that tend to sap you of energy and limit those (I wear only white tshirts and jeans, have 30 odd pairs of the exact same socks to avoid decision fatigue around getting dressed).

    Not sure if it's helpful but I'm a post 40 child and I'm still finding new things to do. I don't do as well with learning as I used to but I can attest to the fact that you can still get good at lots of stuff. I've learned things like knitting, mountain bikeing, programming, stone masonry, car repair all fairly competently all in my late 30s early 40s.

    For me the no.1 take away is self forgiveness. When you can stop wasting energy on the fact that you didn't accomplish what you wanted, realize that we are biologically hardwired to feel that way and instead give yourself a high five for trying, it definitely gets easier.

    Best of luck, hope you get a chance at some point to
