Ah yes, how greedy of a company, to checks notes stop you from telling their online distribution service that you own something you don’t.
Pirate all you want, live how you want. But valve is a company, they do sorta have to follow those pesky laws and regulations.
“Socialism will transition to communism” is just a communism thing. Social democracy is different. It doesn’t involve communism. Because communism is cringe.
Because exclusively that’s the communist viewpoint. There are different socialist ideologies than communism. It’s a rectangle vs square situation.
That’s neither exclusive to communism nor has it been achieved in most purportedly communist states (I hear Vietnam’s actually been having a good run of things but I can’t speak to specifics).
Socialism != communism.
They’re mask off on hexbear/lemmygrad, they try to be subversive on lemmy.ml. I have in fact instance blocked the first two, you can usually dodge them on .ml. Lemmy is far less enjoyable if you have not blocked them.

Read “Nationalism” as “your comment is inconvenient to the tankie narrative”
It’s not a job description, it’s a skillset. Any public face would want it.
That argument makes sense for games with enjoyable mechanics. You can’t make an incredibly dull game and then use that excuse.
Classic grade schooler highjinks of checks notes becoming an eco-terrorist
They’re in Australia, they’re obviously already connected to the electrical grid, and have the free space. I don’t really see how taking advantage of an obviously free win is in any way a “sick burn” of nuclear.
It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though.
My reddit account has just shy of 100k comment karma and less than 2k link karma, and I still got the message.
I marked it as spam for “unsolicited messaging” lmao
Mind explaining to me why a vending machine needs to know the demographics of its users?
If you can’t tell the difference, does it matter?
Of course this gets more into Russel’s teapot than occam’s razor territory.
Sorry that the developers don’t cater to making life easier for people that haven’t bought their game lmao what an entitled take
