The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

I’m in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it’s nice having gaming sessions where I don’t get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I’ll definitely come crawling back one day.

No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.

Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.

Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P

French is my first language, Parisians were still assholes who switched to English because they didn’t like the way I spoke French.

Everyone outside Paris was cool, but I totally get the stereotypes about Parisians. I don’t entirely blame them, living in a city that gets that much tourism must suck, but I am still salty at the guy working in a pizza place who served our party entirely in broken English despite us only speaking French to him.

Tomatoes, cabbage, and onions, that’s a lot of vegetables in one meal! Are you one of them woke f*gs?

The amount of people worried about my nutrition as a vegan but who wouldn’t bat an eye at someone eating McDonald’s every day…

Democrats stopped using “gay” as a pejorative like 25 years ago. We all agreed not to anymore.

The amount of homophobic rhetoric I’ve seen used to describe Trump and Putin is really contradicting this statement.

Democrats love homophobia if they can justify it as “we’re saying homophobic things but only to homophobes therefore it’s okay! It’s tactical homophobia, not actual homophobia!”

(To be clear, fuck both Trump and Putin, they’re monsters, but saying shit like “Trump just wants to suck daddy Putin’s cock” is homophobic.)

Unless I absolutely have to for logistical reasons, I refuse to talk about me being a vegan to others.

It typically results in a debate in which I have no desire to participate. I’ve had the same conversations with people over and over again in my 9 years being vegan. I always either have to censor my opinions, or I end up upsetting someone when I say I think this thing they’re doing is morally wrong.

People rarely engage the topic with genuine curiosity, they usually just want me to assuage their cognitive dissonance and tell them “oh the way you eat animals is totally acceptable!”

I do wonder what the Corsican’s name is in French given that boneywasawarroirwayayix is very English (language and culture) specific.

His original French name is Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, which is a reference to a song by Tino Rossi (who has Corse ancestry).

As someone who loves both pickles and cucumbers, I couldn’t disagree more.

If I’m craving one and someone hands me the other, I’ll be upset.

It’s not Nazi unless it’s from the Rhine basin area, otherwise it’s just sparkling genocide.

This is what you’re arguing about. The intent in calling them Nazis isn’t to insinuate they’re members of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei and no one would assume that’s the intent.

“Nazi” is common parlance as a shorthand for genocidal fascists because the Nazis are by far the most well-known genocidal fascists.

The meaningless semantic argument you’re putting forth is either a useless distraction, or you’re simply purposefully arguing in bad faith to derail the conversation.

That’s what package managers are for, though. Or add the GitHub repo to your RSS reader if you want the details.

Lemmy is a social media, like others have mentioned in this thread I don’t mind this type of post nearly as much if the person posting adds their opinion/analysis/summary.

Also people who commit the crime of being black near police officers.

They do have that for the Steam Deck.

…it’s not a capital “i”, it’s a lowercase L. Thus the joke; it’s “I’m LN” instead of the usual “I’m in”.

Get a distro running XFCE, slap the Chicago95 theme on it, and try to convince your friends that their computer updated to the latest version of Windows.

In what way it obvious? I’ve seen so many people make similar “jokes” just to spread their hateful rhetoric.

If you want to make a joke like this, you should really use a sarcasm tag or similar indicators that they’re not your truly-held beliefs. Unfortunately modern conservatives have kicked Poe’s Law into overdrive, and if one leaves a comment like this one wihout a clear indication of sarcasm, people really have no choice but to assume they’re a bigot.
