I don’t think it matters. the specific ways in which email services work or are used are not what the analogy is supposed to explain.

it’s supposed to explain how two people who log in to different lemmy instances is different from logging into Facebook and MySpace, or Twitter and Threads.

"how does it work? aren’t they different sites?’

“you know how you can have a gmail and someone else can use an outlook email but you can still send emails to each other”

done. even 70 year olds would get it. problem solved. easy, approachable analogy.

yeah it’s completely legal to torture people so long as you don’t call them your prisoners

yeah… for me I was willing to give black flag a chance to see if they would find a way to make a new series, maybe with a new current day plot, but nah. people seem to dislike the current day portion of those games but to me that was the main interest, along with the mythology…

black flag’s current day portion was so goddamn awful, they turned abstergo into a parody of ubisoft? I don’t even know what they were thinking… but it was so immersion breaking. completely killed my interest.

pirate stuff was fun, and it still had a nice plot twist near the beginning… but it was clear that the overall story was going nowhere so I just quit playing after that and decided that the series ended with 3.

it ended in 3, they’ve been treading water ever since.

I’m trying really hard not to derail the thread by shitting on Borderlands right now

I know it’s roughly going to be like a barrel on a stick

are you kidding? god, please YES. I can’t wait for the inevitably shitty games this studio would shart out. it’s gonna be like those anti woke cartoons.

vacuous, cynical rehashing of extremely outdated ideas with zero artistic vision and almost certainly full of stupid references to memes and ancient pop culture? PLEASE LET US HAVE IT NOW

lol… yeah but i meant in terms of using guns to oppose the government

that’s not a Venn diagram

what are you talking about? control over your own land is nothing like invading a remote country halfway around the world.

in what way is the US even remotely comparable to Afghanistan?

but they are more likely to vote than the other two thirds.

that was before tanks and instant communication. the army would have been less organized and maybe you could have a chance against the government, especially as a militia. today you don’t.

you do have a chance against a bunch of fuckwads who threaten you because the party they voted for won and the think they can rape freely now. just not the government.

do those arrows still exist?

I’ve definitely read it before; I don’t remember what series but it was highly probably the rebooted X-Men series (that largely became what the 90s cartoon was based on)…

But don’t ask me about recent canon. What’s “canon” is always shaky because the series has been running forever so anything and everything has been canon and retconned at some point. To me, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are Magneto’s children, Rogue has Ms Marvel powers, and there are 151 Pokemon. I’m old.

I think the snoo looks fine. idk what the fuck they were thinking putting garbage on its head

what’s the point if he can’t teleport through a hell dimension

wow, you answer one question about abortion by saying immigrants are rapists and suddenly people feel abandoned. tsk tsk.

but if they waited the free market would make sure competition would kick in and solve the problem ✨magically✨
