Zorque@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you justify buying something you want but don’t need?English3·3 days agoI research, then set it aside for a while (dependent on cost, cheaper = less time, expensive = more). If I’m still seriously thinking about it after that time, and I have enough of a budget that it won’t cause issues, let’s say if I have to put it on a credit card and can’t pay it off without interest, then I generally will buy it.

If only education could be a lifelong endeavor instead of something to do until you’re 18.
So… we shouldn’t learn about things because the internet in the US sucks?
Zorque@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchiseEnglish2·6 days agoThat’s probably an aspect, but likely there weren’t enough people talking about it because most who did though it was mediocre at best.
For a franchise this popular, a few noisy bigots won’t stop people from seeing it. If anything, it draws more attention to the show. You can see this with shows that are actually good.

Compassion, empathy, desire to do good creates positive change. All hate does is perpetuate a cycle of fear and violence. It can seem like a positive in the short term, but it never lasts.
“Yeah, you’re getting fucked over on a regular basis, but at least you’re not a ~insert patsy demographic here~”
All lepidopterists are entomologists, but not all entomologists are lepidopterists.
It’s also contingent on them realizing that if they call out all the abuses and corruption, when it comes time for them to be held to account, they won’t see any more mercy than they show their “compatriots” across the aisle.
Less so, often, as the “team” they play for tends to forgive and forget much less.

Is that an oddly historically accurate sequel to Age of Conan: Age of Lincoln?
