  • A fossil-fuel plant seeing nuclear coming...

    Jump

  • Yeah unfortunately nuclear doesn't make any sense anymore today. It's way too expensive and its not nearly as renewable as you'd think. 20-50 years ago? It should have been something huge.

    At this point solar is so cheap and easy almost everything else looks silly in comparison.

  • that bread looks really good I'm curious where did you get it? Hopefully its not from a super local store that would dox you.

  • Finally a good reason

  • It kinda pisses me off maga is upset about it because I want to make jokes where I'm upset about it, but i just sound like a maga idiot if I do.

    like obviously I know its not Canada's fault, but its fun to make jokes about that...

  • Yeah for all the shit steam gets, I bought that now de-listed Deadpool game like, however many years ago when it first came out (it was okay thanks for asking) and recently started a family sharing thing with my partner on steam, who was surprised to see that not only did I own it, but she could play it through steam's family share. Are they perfect? Hell no, but is Gabe right about this? Hell yes.

  • The TSA Has a Message for World Cup Fans Bringing Home Ranch Dressing

    Jump

  • Ranch goes really well with some things, most notable IMO is raw vegetables and deep fried things. I could eat way too many deep fried zucchini dipped in ranch.

    People who put it on everything are weird tho its not that good.

  • To All the Black Folks of the Fediverse: How has your experience on here vs Reddit been for you?

    Jump

  • I don't know why race would make a difference in someone's experience on a website given that you can't see the people you're talking with.

    Unrelated but given the amount of casual misogyny I see on Lemmy I think "wow, maybe I don't enjoy this place that much." and interact less often because of it, even though I know it's not aimed at me since they can't see me when they hit post!

    Oh wait...

  • You can, maybe its an Americanism and outside of America you'd get weird looks, but folks is a good way to refer to a group of people?

  • Warrior, rogue or mage, why?

    Jump

  • So, generally mage is my favorite archetype for games and movies ect of the three listed.

    But things get more interesting if I start asking follow up questions.

    If I assume I'm getting these powers in our world, my immediate next question for mage is, what type of mage? Because one where I have to actually 'learn' spells is gonna be very useless in the modern world, unless I get a teacher. Furthermore what universe rules of magic do I get? Is this harry Potter magic or elden ring or dnd? using dnd is it sorcery, wizardy, warlock? How competent am I with whatever choice I make? A shitty mage is way worse than a shitty rogue.

    Because in some of these cases I really would not want to be a mage. assuming I could pick my magic system, idk. Something useful in day to day life but also makes me functionally immortal? Maybe the correct answer is "The Force" but I'm not a big enough star wars nerd.

    Furthermore there are some pretty interesting use cases for rogues in day to day life. I am, poor. Many rogues get invisibility/stealth of some kind. You do the math.

    Warrior is a bit harder to justify unless its the type of warrior that gives mystical strength and durability. if I could pick up a car with one hand or survive a bullet to the head through sheer strength, I might pick it.

    overall though I think I'd pick mage, but rogue is a close second or maybe higher depending on what type of mage.

  • X accused of giving racists ‘impunity’ after refusing to bar N- and P-word posts

    Jump

  • Oh yes! This is another one good shout out!

  • As discussed in this thread, America doesnt really have the same historical racist context. I would not be shocked if Pakistani people here were okay with it because the context is different or i would not be shocked if American Pakistanis also didn't know. This is not a defense of the word, I will not (and really have never used it) just idly noting that context is very important.

  • NGL I sat here for like 40 seconds wondering what you call people from Spain before remembering that Spanish can refer to both language and people.

  • X accused of giving racists ‘impunity’ after refusing to bar N- and P-word posts

    Jump

  • oh yes I will be looking at that, thanks!

    edit: Another one (please someone correct any parts of this that are wrong). I believe in Korean "you" or some other way of addressing people sounds quite similar to the n-word.

    quick edit 2: though I guess different languages don't really count in quite the same way, its similar though.

  • Funny enough it actually mentions in the Wikipedia article that most Americans are unfamiliar with the slur. I'll be honest without this thread if I heard someone say it, I would probably have used it unknowingly just assuming it was similar to Aussie or something.

    This is not to make light of the slur, but if someone called me an "Ameri" I would probably just assume they're French, which might be meaner than anything they're trying to say to me.

  • Its actually mildly interesting, are there other slurs that really wouldn't be slurs in another country? The F slur would be one I suppose is just a cigarette for some people?

    Jump

  • Huh til. Never heard this before. Gotta be honest tho I'm kinda surprised its a slur, don't get me wrong I won't be using it, but it does feel like a "good" shorthand for Pakistani.

  • Why they always do this?

    Jump

  • Oh boy a thread about women's bodies, I'm sure this will be a civil and rational discussion and definitely won't have misogynistic views throughout the entire thing.

  • Are there any good math puzzle sites or apps?

  • Nerdle is a daily math based worldle that is quite fun IMO.
