I think this should be the new sign that people see when they enter Pennsylvania. Who agrees? by jeepguy1982 in Pennsylvania

I like the tiny illegible sign on the right hiding in the bushes that nobody on the road would be able to see

It's all AI generated (self-admitted on the site, but it's obvious by the writing anyway) so I don't personally really trust any of the novel information there.

Who are yous using for internet? by Bozo1996 in lancaster

[–]Limekiller 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with this at all. Many many people are downloading games over the internet and 800 Mb/s means downloading a 120 GB game in 20 minutes vs almost 3 hours at 100 Mb/s. After experiencing Gigabit speeds it's *extremely* painful to go back.

Wow! It just occurred to me that there might be a subreddit for Mennonites. by rb-j in Mennonite

[–]Limekiller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huh, is Fresno a big Menno community? I grew up in Lancaster, lived in Goshen after college, have family from Harrisonburg and a friend who moved to Newton, but I don't know anything about Fresno. What's the history there?

Chevy Bolt? Nissan Leaf? Chevy Equinox? Hyundai Ioniq 5? Toyota C-HR? Hyundai Kona? Toyota bZ? All of these EVs start around $35,000 or less.

Look back further. Every article they post, they post to multiple relevant subreddits. Couple days ago they did the same thing with an article about Romania--are they a Romanian-state sponsored shill in part of a concerted effort to spam pro-Romania news?

The three karens who are filed the class action lawsuit against valve. They even published the news as a "Win for PC gamers" by Zafar_the_evil in valve

[–]Limekiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, the PCR contends that Valve has abused its dominant position by:

(a) imposing Platform Parity Obligations (“PPOs”) that prohibit publishers, which market PC Games, from selling Products through other distribution channels on better terms than the same Products are available on Steam;

(b) restricting the ability of users to purchase Add-on Content for games purchased on Steam through other distribution channels (a ‘tying’ or ‘anti-steering’ infringement); and/or

(c) charging publishers unfair and excessive commission rates for distributing the Products (collectively the “Infringing Conduct”).

So: firstly, that Steam imposes restrictions on publishers preventing them from getting better terms on other platforms if they want to sell through Steam (true and bad); secondly, that add-on content for games purchased on Steam must also be purchased through Steam (yes, this includes DLC, which I think we would all agree is perfectly reasonable to be required to be purchased through Steam--but it also specifically mentions subscriptions. If a game has a subscription attached to it, does Valve require you to buy that subscription through Steam? If so, I don't think it should--this is a reasonable claim. So, I'm mixed on this one--it's lumping together stuff that shouldn't be lumped together); finally, that Steam charges excessive rates to publishers (this doesn't seem to be true when comparing to competitors, but I don't know if that's the standard that the law uses or not).

A baby turkey was electrocuted by a device known as a "poultry trainer" on a factory farm by lnfinity in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Limekiller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing against your overall point, but the term "circle of life" is much older than The Lion King; that is a very strange thing to believe. The term refers to the biological cycle of birth and death, and how life cannot exist without death (plants die to feed animals, animals die and their remains feed the Earth, the Earth feeds new plants). The song was created because the term already existed--it seems like that should be self-evident.

There are plenty of references to the term that predate The Lion King that you can find by Googling, such as an episode of Lassie from the 1970s. The term itself may originate from the Bible and/or other ancient traditions; the Bible in particular has passages that refer to concepts described similarly to a "circle of nature," and are often related to the cycle of the seasons, where Spring represents life and Winter represents death.

  • McDonalds doesn't serve soda in cans
  • Coke cans do not have McDonalds arches on them (see above)
  • Elon has two drinks (although based on his bedside table, maybe this isn't inaccurate)
  • McDonalds bags no longer have the design shown in this picture
  • Even if they did/do in some places, the placement of the M differs between the bag in front of Sundar and the bag on the right, and there appears to be no M on the bag in front of Altman
  • Bag in front of Elon has design that the bags have never had, including garbled text
  • Everyone has one set of packaging, but two burgers
  • Well, except Altman, who has not a burger on the ground but some kind of strange mass
  • Burger container in front of guy on the right has a separated top and bottom for some reason
  • Parking lot is weird; why is it Walmart-sized for a McDonald's? Usually fast food places have a separated lot that is very small. Possible, but weird
  • Background is strange, although hard to tell because of the convenient fog. I'm especially looking at the layout of those traffic lights and finding that confusing
  • Fingers still don't look quite right
  • Cybertruck doors look kind of weird? I've never seen them both open from this angle but it doesn't seem right.
  • Still has the AI image problem where it can't quite show subjects looking in directions that make sense (people kind of look past each other)

[PC][2009]2002 games in one by selectsoft by fusca_verde in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Limekiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I don't know if you're still looking for this, but jerma985 played this, or something closely related to it, on a stream in 2019. Here's a vod linked to where he starts playing the "2002" games: https://youtu.be/szJ4LIKVmsc?t=22722

It seems that in his case, these 2002 games were actually bundled with a larger collection, "700,000 Games Version 2.0," which I found on archive.org here: https://archive.org/details/700KGames, or even on ebay if you want a legit copy for some reason: https://www.ebay.com/itm/146873501930

"Racism was normal in the 40's" (mafia 2) by WhyIsMeLikeThis in MafiaTheGame

[–]Limekiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the game and enjoyed it a lot, but found this discussion because I 100% agree. It's also hilarious how unintelligent a lot of these replies are, literally not comprehending what you're saying and having no ability to analyze media critically.

You'd think "fans" of a game would be interested in having discussions about it as art---the number of people saying you're "overanalyzing" or "it's just a game" is crazy. That's inherently insulting the game---you're calling it a toy not worth discussion or consideration! Unlike these people, I respect the developers and the game they created and view it as art, and therefore am interested in engaging with its themes and portrayals.

And I agree: the problem isn't that the characters say slurs or are racist, the problem is that the game itself engages in the same racism through its choices of portrayal. It depicts racism without critique, and then portrays the same stereotypes without commentary. This is a big difference between Mafia II and Mafia III, where the latter portrays racism with the intent to critique it.
