Slop.@hexbear.net•US State Department: "Code Pink whitewash the violence of Marxist regimes, and run cover for narco-terrorists like Maduro while enjoying an influx of cash from a donor network from China"
34·22 hours agoBecause it takes a nation state backed psyop to be a good person.
The whole point of the game is to make animals cross, right?

politics @lemmy.world•Oklahoma bill could make aiding an undocumented immigrant a felony
18·23 hours agoA congregation member from a church gives food to a brown guy at the weekly potluck and suddenly the church is shutdown and the congregate owes $50,000 and is sent to prison for 5 years.
Real class act there, OK.
M&Ms oughtn’t be measured in units of kg.
The best part about Cybertruck drivers is if you start to comment on their truck they will stop to hear the whole comment and then it will just stick with them for a while cause most of them bought the truck to show off and not because it addressed a unique need they have.

Technology@lemmy.world•In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mudEnglish
6·1 day agoOh yeah, definitely. The wiring needs for an industrial space or event venue are different than a domicile, but I don’t think anyone’s buying audiophile snake oil for those. They really seem to market that kinda crap to the fool and their money crowd.
My grandma once told me “everyone wishes they could have bought a house for the price their parents did.” Which, yeah, inflation’s a thing, but housing is not supposed to be an appreciating investment vehicle.

341·1 day agoI fucking love audio and have an extensive collection of equipment. The last thing in the chain before your ears (so headphones and speakers) will absolutely make a difference and the thing that provides power to that can make a difference. But the cables? The fucking cables?! Absolutely no impact once you’re above like $10. Turns out, electrons are electrons and they behave like electrons. Shockingly that doesn’t change in copper, gold plated copper, pure silver, or mud. Doubly so for the non analog part of the chain. Hell I’ve even seen “audiophile grade” ethernet cables.
The other part of the equation is if the differences made by the things that do make a difference actually matter to the listener. They do to me, but my dad is more than happy to just use the speakers on his Dell monitors.
M&Ms oughtn’t be measured in units of pounds.

Programming@programming.dev•What to do if i want to make games oneday, but im unsure where to start?
4·2 days agoThat Brackeys one I linked doesn’t have the same kinda workshop, but they do have a number of tutorials on their YT channel and it starts this Sunday.

Atheism@lemmy.world•Can Students Fail an Assignment if They Cite God? Not if Florida Republicans Get Their Way.English
2·2 days agoThere’s rage bait and there’s making laws. Even if meant in jest, laws still are expected to be followed with deleterious consequences for disobedience.
It does no one good to let evil slide just cause you think they’re messing around.

Atheism@lemmy.world•Can Students Fail an Assignment if They Cite God? Not if Florida Republicans Get Their Way.English
7·2 days agoOr maybe, and I know this can be hard to believe, the university gets scared of baseless suits backed by powerful figures supported by disingenuous interpretations of these kinds of laws and they bow to political pressure and fire the people that gave the assignment so they don’t have to defend themselves in a costly, frivolous case?
If that were to happen, and I know it’s a stretch and would never actually happen in the US because every civil entity here has steadfast morals based upon dignity and respect, then modifying laws that already forbid discrimination to make the language a bit more ambiguous and easier to use as a cudgel is a dangerous move targeting our educators.

6·2 days agoJoin a game jam.. You might not get far, but joining and trying will get you started down the road. A theme will be provided which can help get your ideas flowing, and you can use existing assets to pull stuff together along with tutorials.
For your first jam, you can even just make a physical game using cards or tokens from other sets to explore different ideas.
From there, pick a game engine and try a bunch of tutorials then pick something you want to make and use tutorials and documentation not as guides, but as references to achieve the thing you want to build.
Also, start small, like really small. Smaller than you think you need to. Pong and Snake are significantly easier than Battleship or Risk.

Atheism@lemmy.world•Can Students Fail an Assignment if They Cite God? Not if Florida Republicans Get Their Way.English
21·2 days agoSo what happens when the student writes a sermon instead of doing the assignment, rightfully gets a 0 for not doing the assignment, and then writes to the governor and right wing media apparatuses complaining about religious discrimination?

Colorado@lemmy.world•New Bill Would Decriminalize Prostitution in ColoradoEnglish
42·2 days agoThe measure would also call on local governments to lightly regulate escort bureaus and massage parlors that charge for sexual activities, with each client-patron contract treated as a matter of public record.
Why does it need to be public record who’s paying whom for sex?

World News@lemmy.world•Lawmakers increasingly intimidated by the publicEnglish
37·2 days agoThis seems like a very loose definition of “violence.”

Palestine@lemmy.ml•Over 2,000 Britons [and over 3,000 Germans] served for Israel amid Gaza genocide (Declassified UK, 2026-02-11)
1·2 days agoThe article sourced (a UK focused publication) only mentioned Britons in the title, likely because they focus on the UK.
As to Germany? One can only assume why OP injected that.
unmagical@lemmy.mltoAMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND@lemmy.world•Waymo pays DoorDashers to close doors on self-driving carsEnglish
6·2 days agoAnd they can add a “remote door close” fee on riders that leave it open! (I have no idea if they do that, yet).







That’s good, but also there’s no fucking snow.
