Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Yes, that's why they're at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I'm sure they'd get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

The problem is not this bloke. The problem is the people that voted for him.

All jobs are service industry now unless you're somebody's kid or relative. Things changed bigly over the last 20 years.

Does he realize these unemployed, dirty gamers who complain but don’t do anything productive tend to lean conservative?

You're happier not knowing, delete your account before some sicko comes by to gleefully explain this one.

working where exactly? working on a farm that will pay you minimum wage, if that? oh OH I know working in the tech sector where it's now and has been for the past couple years an absolute nightmare to find a job in.

There are NO jobs out there that will pay for the current cost of living and the ones that COULD aren't hiring, and if anything, are laying people off. And yeah, these unemployed young men are TOTALLY playing videogames that now cost $80 a pop paid via a job they don't have.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

And the healthcare Congress provides.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 week ago

Translated: Adults 18 to 25 are using there parents healthcare and are not paying for the crappiest healthcare being offered at their first jobs.

Once again, we have lawmakers just making spurious if not outright false statements with no repercussions. When your words decide people's reality, you should be afraid of what you say. And I don't see that fear in legislators.

They just say whatever the fuck incorrect bullshit they wish, and walk it back at their leisure when the effect is already resolved in throughout news media. The world's gotten their soundclip, the base started foaming when they heard their whistles, and then the politican quietly amends "oh, I obviously didn't mean that." If more politicans shut the fuck up because they were scared of the repercussions of walking their statements back, then maybe there'd be more reporting on what they've done then the inflammatorily idiotic shit they spew every other day.

He has no idea what the medicare requirements are, does he?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 week ago

His job is to spread lies and fear, so no reason for him to say something different, if he would know reality...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I thought they were breaking into your basement to tell you they won’t watch your kid and you still have to buy them health insurance

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What's an enormous brain he has, it's amazing that it fits in his itty bitty head.

So living in the UK which has free healthcare I can tell everybody that it's super easy to do this.

Obviously I don't have a job so I can't afford food, so I just starve myself until I nearly die, and then the NHS turn up and put me in one of those pokeball rehabilitation things and I'm good to go.

or pretending that conversion therapy cured them, and addicted to possibly porn.

Wait, you can eat heath care?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

All those lazy bums getting their nutrition from free IV drips.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Why would anyone want to waste their life working for any of these exploitive cunts. I’d much rather play video games.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago

...says guy who gets free healthcare and is paid by a public who he does nothing good for and billionaires who bribe him to hurt the public.
