    Didn't they offer 2 hostages back to get the ball rolling and Netanyahu basically said shove it we don't want them we're going in to get them ourselves?

  • AITA: I’m a Republican who is blaming the Democrats for the House of Representatives being shut down.
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 12mo ago 71%

    The concept behind AITA is that even though a title can lead people in one direction the explainition may take you in another. All the people who didn't read the article and instead made snap judges based off a title.. YTA

    Or rather a EHS

    Don't you all see how the current reflection of governance is not aligned with the views of the people? Your news pits you all against each other with fear factors. I don't agree with views of Republicans but freedom caucus and my neighbor Bob have different agendas. One is being told someone is trying to destroy them and the other one is on tv telling them that. It's easy to fall in with views your comfortable with and stay there long after they get out of hand. Education takes time

  • I understand this may make sense to some users, but the whole concept of subscribing to games just makes me... Very uneasy. You stop paying, and suddenly your console is an empty paperweight
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 1y ago 100%

    I pay for ultimate while purchasing games. I have access to everything for purchase at a discount and have a unlimited selection on day 1 while getting the discounts when the games get old ... if you only ever use the subscription service to play while it's on there you are misusing the service. When games leave gamepass I've played them they go down in value and I buy them 80% off in a year

  • [The Verge] Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 1y ago 100%

    Activision is one of the oldest companies in gaming existence to still be around and developing. The deep bench it has blew my mind when I googled more than just the headline names. I've got both consoles and didn't see a issue with the acquisition but the FTC fucked up by not mentioning anything other than COD. That's on them for the loss.

  • Improving Fediverse Discovery & Onboarding
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 1y ago 100%

    I was huge into stumble upon and even though that didn't pan out the best thing it did was start off with the easiest most basic likable subs to click to follow to craft interests C/memes C/pics C/shitpost C/food

    And then you use that to expand on to relatable subs and on and on until you've gotten as specific as possible .

    Then users have 200 subs they've already subscribed to and have crafted a full experience for themselves. On reddit I followed like 50 subs for the first 2 years. I often scrolled through posts ad far as a week back and got bored. The moment I expanded and started actively looking at new subs regularly I was rarely getting past the day mark on a full scroll.

    We also have to get rid of the porn posts on the regular scroll. That's something that if I want to see I don't want it to be the default and not on my main account. Let me get my scuzball on outside of my work scroll and when I'm not sitting at a table with friends wondering why there's strap on porn on my phone.

  • Conservatives go to red states and liberals go to blue as the country grows more polarized
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 1y ago 100%

    Anecdotes are fun, but the reality is this:

    State are taking action to eliminate abortion, severely restrict voting rights, alter the state constitution (like in my home state ohio), and gut programs that support poor individuals while giving tax breaks and incentives to the rich.

    Outside of the way your neighbors view politics, when your state says "your worthless get out, were looking for someone else" does that really make you want to stay? Is political tension in this country a factor for the comfort that makes people choose a home? Yes. That doesn't mean that where you live in today's day and age significantly defines your rights as a human being.

  • What app is everyone using for Lemmy
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 1y ago 100%

    Liftoff is great so far. Used Jebora, but it was having some connectivity issues and the comment structure was a little hard to differentiate. Liftoff is really nice and notifies you when you lose connection to the server. Never had an iPhone so didn't use apollo unfortunately because I heard great things. I did hear that the Boost team are releasing a new app soon which boost was IMO the best one I ever used

  • YSK: One of Bowser's Koopa Kids is named Lemmy
  • MilkToastGhost MilkToastGhost 1y ago 55%

    I've noted this, but I believe intent really carries the meaning in this situation. When you use other terms such for little people or mentally handicapped your using those terms to to either them, or someone who is not but is like them. In this case I used a word to describe a wacky zainy individual.

    At the same time to your point yall call each other cunts over morning tea. You can't do that in America either but it doesn't stop it from happening in the media and distributing it here. Definitly doesn't stop people from saying it on the internet with or without intent to offend.
