Good point.

Chinese speaking people are pretty good at memes, so I wouldn’t mind that as long as its not just more Tankie memes like Hexbear used to spam.

Destroyed Sim City franchise, made The Sims 4 a DLC hellhole, made Mass Effect 3’s shitty ending, maybe the mishandling of Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 5?

Other things I could think of is releasing Origin and pulling their games from the Steam store. Other than that, I don’t really follow gaming news enough to list more, nor know enough to determine if everything I already listed are caused by EA.

Edit: I forgot Mass Effect Andromeda.

Mine as well.

Where did I accuse you of being a Trump supporter? I said you fell for his lies. Plenty of people worldwide has fallen for his lies, mostly due to the amount of misinformation spreading in social media. You’re just one of them.

If people can lie and tell the truth, they can obviously be criticised for what they said, so your argument again don’t make sense. We’re also not choosing to believe what he said based on agenda, it’s based on what people know of him and what he stands for.

You seem to be fine arbitrarily choosing to believe his slogan while ignoring his actions of attempting a coup in 2020 and calling for persecuting those that speak against him. Do you believe the latter is for the good of the US, then?

You actually fell hook, line and sinker into his lies, haven’t you? And what is with your broken logic? Do you think people can only lie 100% of the time or never lie at all? That seems to be the basis for your argument here.

Since when does Trump care what is beneficial for the US?

That’s not how it works, the meme is only pointing out the irony, not saying the Taliban is not allowed to fight back against the Islamic State.

You seem to have some trouble differentiating between making fun the Taliban vs defending the enemy of them. If I make fun of the US, that doesn’t mean I am defending China or Russia. Somehow, your head have managed to mix these two things together.

Can I chalk this up to you strongly supporting the Taliban to the point that any slight against them means it is defending their enemy?

Again, I’m asking where he defended the Islamic State like you claimed. Making fun of the Taliban is not defending their enemies.

Can you show me where they defended the Islamic State?

If you want to use soap, you can use soap. But would you rather clean you poop smeared hand with water or just wipe with toilet paper?

Most of their ads are still skippable, aren’t they? And can you prove no one asked for a premium service? I certainly recognize ads are a way to pay content creators and would like an alternative way to pay them in exchange for not seeing ads, so that already disproves your claim.

And what does YouTube being profitable have to do with paying content creators, anyway? YouTube, who were known for running at a loss for years at the start, needs a way to pay content creators as well as pay for server costs to host YouTube videos.

Sure, they are also greedy, but watching content without paying the creators is not the actual way to fight that, is it? If you disagree with how Google runs YouTube, just stop watching YouTube instead of punishing the content creators. Go watch them on alternative platforms where you can directly pay for their content like Patreon or Ko-Fi.

Yeah, but that excuse is only used when people are criticising communist using China as an example, that’s why I consider China’s status as a communist nation an opinion that lemmy.ml always flip flops on.

And by what metric is China considered a communist nation?

I’ve heard lemmy.ml claim China is not communist, before. I guess they are communist only when it supports your argument.

When did I say you pay for individual videos? You pay for access to those videos by watching ads or paying for premium.

If someone wants to watch videos without dealing with ads or payments, there are sites for that, too. Why aren’t you going to those sites, instead?

By not paying the content creators for the content you consume.

They created the problem of creators needing to be paid without using ads?

True, but there is a lot of overlap. You could say that the social anxiety is what makes some people an introvert, since they just exhaust themselves from too much worrying.

I think that’s just how the shooting stance works. Hooking your hand in your pocket prevents it from moving and messing with your aim.

It works well enough if you don’t mind the occasional disconnect and slow connection to wifi, which is true for a lot of people like me. It’s still pretty annoying to deal with sometimes, just not enough to go replace the WiFi card or anything.
