Thanks!

I missed the site wide rules.

Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they're probably violating it themselves with their moderation.

Perhaps I don't really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn't this the mods doing their jobs correctly?

The OP's situation seems completely different to this and it's definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?

Can confirm. The rosellas were delightful. The Ibis were pretty awesome as well -such a trashy looking bird. Ours at least hides its shame (kiwi).

Yes, just wanted to contrast the reception they got. Bethesda games don't generally attract as much ire for the bugs. People expect them and tolerate them (to an extent). Cyberpunk 2077 was a totally broken mess according to the internet, while the Elder Scrolls are the greatest thing ever.

I had crashes to the desktop about every 4th area transition in Oblivion and it still didn't bother me too much, since it had just saved and took less than a minute to get back into the game.

Some bugs - even total crashes - can still be put up with just fine.

In my experience it was much less buggy at launch than for example Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I didn't experience any game-breaking bugs, just ones that harmed immersion. There was a bit of T-posing, the occasional floating prop/animation bug, and once I got launched into the desert when climbing through a window. No crashes to desktop, no broken progression. It probably helped that I was happy with the game they delivered rather than getting hung up on what may have been promised.

You guys should really think about changing your voting system.

Our voting uses something called a Single Transferable Vote. You can rank candidates in order of preference - last place gets eliminated and any votes they got are instead transferred to each voters' next preference. Repeat until there's only one left.

It cuts out most of the stupid games and you get to see people's positions more honestly.

In this case it'd let people vote for an anti genocide candidate and still indicate that they'd prefer Biden over Trump.

We all live in our own little bubbles; they may not be true feminists to you, but they sound quite consistent with the people around me who describe themselves as feminists. A significant portion of feminist activists in my online bubble also seem to subscribe to the same ideas.

I've always heard them described as seagull managers. Screams loudly, shits everywhere, leaves.

That doesn't really come across when you're framing being single as a problem.

It kinda sounds like both y'all are.

Almost entirely digital now. As for why:

  • backlight
  • font size adjustment
  • built in dictionary
  • local library closed for a few years
  • lighter/better form factor than most books I read

I find I buy far more books now that I have an e-ink reader.
