Unexpected trips don't tend to be fun. Scary trips don't tend to lead to addiction.

Also, drugs are a lot more expensive than abortion pills, so whomever is putting the drugs in them is losing a lot of money doing so.

pills with something else that could get you addicted.

It's hard to get addicted to an unknown substance you've taken unwillingly and don't know what it is in order to get another hit.

I'd be more considered about psychos selling literal poison.

I'm sure he had a blackmail list ready to go in order to prevent himself facing consequences. It's why he got suicided.

Point to where I said that.

The same thing Steam did to secure its monopoly.

That's not what the word monopoly means

No, you were literally saying Epic was better than Steam because Epic is doing the same scummy things but just wasn't around when Steam started doing it.

I never made any claims as to whether I felt those practices are problematic or not, I just pointed out that they both do it so it's irrelevant in the comparison.

Epic is worse than Steam because of its aggressively anti-consumer practices like paid exclusives.

If Steam goes down I have no problems torrenting games I've already paid for

Imagine being so full of yourself that you think saying nothing has any value.

Fun fact: the term "Stockholm syndrome" originates from a hostage situation in which the authorities did not seem to care about the safety of the hostages at all, they regularly put the hostages in danger and the hostage takers were frequently trying to protect the hostages from the actions of the authorities.
In light of that, the hostages having more empathy towards their captors makes perfect sense. However ignorant people who did not understand the details of the event coined the term "Stockholm syndrome" instead of actually listening to the hostages or trying to understand a different point of view.

Your use of the term feels very appropriate.

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to [email protected] When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
