That feels an awful lot like saying opiates are fine just don’t get addicted. It’s easy to say when you aren’t susceptible, but clearly some people are and it’s not very productive to be dismissive of the primary way they make money.

Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Making your bed is, at best, a performative waste of time...English124·3 days agoYour “fatal counter point” is that you like it, and surely every single human brain feels the exact same way?
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Ask@piefed.social•What would you do if you got a text saying a missile was inbound?7·5 days agoFrantically figure out the most bizarre people-shadow I can possibly leave. May as well aim to have a legacy, though with my luck I’d probably end up outside the radius for that swift a death.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Congratulates Leader of English-Speaking Country for His Good EnglishEnglish11·5 days agoBelize was the Brits, not Americans.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic Portal 2 as Steam’s top-rated gameEnglish451·6 days agoMy only issue has always been that I cannot throw more money at the ape. So I buy the game for gaming-adjacent friends and almost always
ruin their livesconvert them
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto The Democratic People's Republic of Tankiejerk@lemmy.world•And plenty of useful idiots say the same thing about Russia's invasion and genocide of Poland in tandem with the Nazis4·8 days agoIt’s also worth mentioning the reason Poland was occupying parts of Ukraine and Belarus was because the soviets invaded roughly a decade and a half prior, and got wrecked.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto movies@piefed.social•"Jurassic World Rebirth" arrives on digital on August 561·9 days agoDid anyone… have expectations? I’ll watch it on digital for the dinosaurs, same as the last three, but I expect to be thoroughly whelmed by any part of the movie besides the scaly things
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Undertale and Deltarune@lemmy.world•Should I delete my save file or restart in Undertale?4·10 days agoTo elaborate, and because the game doesn’t really explain this - there are three “types” of endings.
Obviously, spoilers.
Pacifist, where you do not kill a single enemy(yes, that includes chumps),
Genocide, where you kill literally every single enemy, including grinding encounters in every area until “nobody showed up” or whatever it says(this is meant to be an unenjoyable experience outside of two mildly interesting unique fights, and boy does it succeed)
And “mixed”, which is anything between the two.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a good example of a necessary evil?7·11 days agoThe tax being on your income and not entirely on corporations always felt like a fairly biased distinction. If companies paid the entire income tax long before it got to you, and you were simply paid ~2/3rds as much, I feel like people’s opinions would be different despite not much changing.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.zip•ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam itEnglish71·13 days agoStealing shamelessly from another comment, Stop Ice is a website version that should be a little more secure due to not being an app on your phone.
Fascists are stupid, but lots of sociopathic opportunists aren’t.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•A roadmap to beat Trump? How rise of Zohran Mamdani is dividing Democrats5·16 days agoWhether or not this splits them is up to the useless old geezers who should have retired decades ago.
I’d have traded Bernie for axing all politicians over 60.
I think it’s accurate to say that most women express emotions more frequently, which is healthier, whilst men are more likely to bottle up emotions and thus have more noticeable and chaotic outbursts.
Of course, neither of these are hard rules, but they are observable societal norms
Shiggles@sh.itjust.workstoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•These past few years have been very illuminating153·17 days agoThere are 3 years and 11 months many of us spend fighting for that. Then there’s one month where keeping the literal modern nazis out of power requires some unsavory choices.
I was sleeping in my parents room, on the floor, till I was embarassingly old.
Turns out I had/have Tinnitus and found the background noise of whatever show they were falling asleep to made it infinite easier to sleep.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Almost out of shampoo, better add it to my shopping list."7·18 days agoI have three bottles, still sitting neatly in their half of the 2 pack packaging. It hurts.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Right-Wing Republicans in Congress Attack Mamdani With Islamophobic Comments57·18 days agoChaos like… basic social policies most of the modern world embraced half a century ago?
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Pro-Palestinian activists in Belgium damage equipment bound for UkraineEnglish472·18 days agoSeems like that isn’t going to be particularly productive for anybody but russia?
A, this is why magic isn’t real
B, the law can say whatever the fuck it wants it still can’t bend reality. More likely and much simpler, the vampire cop brings a non vampire friend who beats you until you “willingly” invite them both in and they plant drugs all throughout your house.
Shiggles@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani’s victory in NYC mayoral primary leaves Wall Street 'alarmed' and 'depressed'13·19 days agoIt’s really simple. If you aren’t a sociopath, you never reach having so much money.
They do, but given everything Purdue’s done I felt it was fitting. Fine as a concept, awful when the sole goal is extracting money.
