Is there also Kate Becknotforsale?

Iwata was a playful public face for the company. He also had the gamer’s and developer’s perspective in things, he wasn’t just a guy in suit to make sure that lines go up and all the investors can clap their hands. He had a more consumer-oriented perspective in mind along with Reggie. When Nintendo made operating loss, instead of laying off staff and blaming others, he owned it and temporarily sliced his salary. The world of gaming needs more people like Iwata, and the words he said are more relevant than ever.

“Misery loves company.”

Nope, I have been using Notesnook for nearly three years for notes.

This reminds me of a straight pride event titled “Hetero Pride” that was organized in Finland way back in 2013. One of the organizers was a deputy regional councillor and Finns Party member. He claimed how society and the media over-emphasized homosexuality, calling it “homozation”. He also claimed how it was hard to defend the traditional family model without being labelled homophobic and racist.

The event was held near the Parliament House in Helsinki. There were whole a lot more counter-protesters and some came to the event mainly because it was more like “popcorn pride”. One of the speakers at the event literally said in his speech how “we don’t have anything against homosexuals, but…” and another said something about how “the Bible states that marriage is only between a man and a woman”. One speaker was later asked about “what privileges do gays have these days”, and he just replied “I have to be honest, I can’t say anything about that”.

“The tiger can’t change its stripes.” The organizer mentioned later posed in a picture with five other men who made a Nazi salute – one of them was Seppo Lehto, an infamous Neo-Nazi. He also made a Nazi salute himself in another picture, this time wearing a Hitler mask. When called out, he said “I’m not in that picture. I wasn’t there. I don’t know where these kinds of clips came from.” He later admitted being in the picture, claiming how he hadn’t made a Nazi salute: “It’s just a normal salute with the left hand. The official Nazi salute is with the right hand at a 45 degree angle.”

The explanation wasn’t enough for the Finns Party, and as a consequence he was fired from the party’s regional council because of homophobia. Later he also resigned from the party.

Why there are no movies about sperm bank robberies?

2020 never ended. There is no “normalcy” to return to.

Dang it! Lemm.ee was formed in summer 2023 alongside the other instances that became the Lemmyverse’s biggest, sad to see it go. Thank you for everything!

Randy Pitchford being a walking PR problem and a condescending prick towards gamers isn’t really helping the situation. He alone doesn’t want me to play any of the games in the series.

It’s NSFW untagged!

That Carlin clip has been circulated in various alternative medicine quackery communities for a long time, I doubt RFK Jr. has any media literacy. The similar notion has somewhat entered in mainstream discourse with the concept of “immunity debt”.

I think RFK thinks that swimming in contaminated water somehow helps build immunity.

Sperm racer came immediately into my mind.

The same people who claim that COVID is a lab-leaked bio-weapon are at the same time against vaccines, masks and other means of defending against it.

I’d say it holds up nicely. My index and middle fingers rest on the ball, while my ring finger handles scrolling. So accidental scrolling doesn’t happen. For horizontal scrolling on the left touchpad I can use my index finger.

As a trackball user, I am delighted.

This whole thing is like a mystery that gets more and more disturbing.

In the 2000s and 2010s Brand was seen as a progressive who rallied against the 1 % with some hippie spirituality thing sprinkled in. He started his own YouTube channel. Then around 2020 he was slowly incorporating things like The Great Reset, rallying against vaccine mandates and other right-wing talking points. He started to appear with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro and the like. The rebranding reached a culmination in April 2024, when he was baptised.

Damn, I was about to post that article! But regardless, there is so much proof regarding Brand’s misdeeds which may contributed to his “rebranding” from a liberal revolutionary hippie to a conservative Christian.

There’s WriteFreely for example. There’s also Plume, but looks like it’s not actively maintained anymore.
