“Google is where we go to answer our questions and you just really want to feel like you can trust those answers and the company behind them. And moments like these break that trust and make you feel like Google’s supposed core value—truth—has been co-opted by politics,” Urban told The Post after posting to X about his dismay over the results.

Absolutely not. I do not expect or want Google to decide what is the truth and give me a 3 second sound byte on what the Holocaust was. How do things like this get traction??

I read all the one star reviews. If they are all something akin to “my food was too colorful” or “the waitress didn’t refill my water enough” then it’s probably ok

is there a way to show a video icon for YouTube links?

I basically never want to watch a YouTube link. But I kinda mindlessly click the next item in the feed if it sounds interesting and I’m always angry when it’s a 20 minute long video that could have been a quick 2 minute read. Is it possible to mark these so I can see which ones are videos and avoid them like the plague?

This thread is so fascinating. I agree with the OP 100% and it’s so strange to me to see the arguments against them.

Like, games as designed now are predatory. My kids get a game and are bombarded with shiny ways to extract more money.

OP’s point on MMOs is that they provide servers and that means a monthly subscription and the only way (originally) to get stuff was to grind.

I think a second factor is a lowered expectation of immersion that comes with playing elsewhere. The author specifically says they can play in the pub waiting for friends or on the train or whatever. You’re not as invested in those situations, so a game is more of a distraction than an experience.

I have been saying “Press ‘Y’ to be a weenie” for as long as I can remember

For those like me, I’m trying this: gamerant.com/simcity-franchise-history-2013-new-g…

Thoroughly interested in this. But why can’t I just read it? I wish this wasn’t a video.

Is there somewhere I can read about Biden’s border policy compared to other Democrats? This is definitely something I’m totally uninformed about and I’d like to read up a bit, if you know of a good rundown.

Well now I’m sitting in a different chair. And I don’t like that chair as much. 😡

Therapy teaches you to identify and ignore these issues and urges, like a good little capitalist drone

Nope

It does nothing to address the actual underlying societal causes.

How exactly is a therapist supposed to address societal issues 😂

“A Cruise spokesperson said the company offered to share video footage with San Francisco officials. As of Saturday morning, Cruise said, city officials had not reviewed the footage. It was unclear why.”

In this context, the question is whataboutism. The facts are that these changes are not in the norm, and that we have experts in climate science telling us that.

You’re being downvoted because this line of questioning is usually the beginning of a bad faith argument. I decided to engage because hey, maybe you are just curious so I’ll give people on Lemmy the benefit of the doubt.

Echoing this, please read the linked post. There is a big difference between technology and it's implementation vs the community of users of it and what they are using to do so.

lakemalcom10,

It's neat but also I'm kind of angry at the "review" of Lemmy on there. Like, what exactly do you expect this brand new thing with communities created less than a week ago to do??
