Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies. No, not Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, the parody of that film made on the budget of the "plot" portion of a porn flick. I don't know why I like it, but it's some good dumb fun

Pretty sure this kind of game mechanic (expose yourself to an enemy attack for a skill check that regains health) can be traced back at least to the Dodgeball DLC for Outside™. Game mechanics are like TV tropes, they echo what came before them, almost without exception

Just open YouTube in incognito mode and search a game title probably works. YouTube's algorithm loves serving up manosphere style content like that like my dog loves eating my other dog's poop. It's disturbing on both fronts

I read a bit further. Definitely got the vibe that AI had a hand in editing the prose as well, it felt like half a story and half a pros/cons list. There's some technical content in there that is salvageable, but as a piece of writing, it holds up to that stamp of quality, IMO

Doesn't mean it isn't AI-generated

Hilarious that one of the most factually written headlines in modern news media is prefaced with "opinion". I know why, I'm just enjoying the irony

I can't tell if I'm learning German by osmosis or if I'm just adapting to some hybrid Deutschelish dialect from Lemmy that has no use in the real world

Except what you said is imprison him. You called for an innocent man to be imprisoned. Are you 100% certain that you aren't letting a subconscious bias about his innocence into your thoughts by using that language?

Who among us hasn't taken a day off work to come back and find that your coworkers ate the fruit you left in the communal fridge, and then subsequently condemned your coworkers and all of their descendants to eternal suffering, then felt bad later and changed your mind, pretending your son died for a couple days to drum up sympathy and distract from your overreaction?

Not really, he wasn't. The myth of Nazi/fascist competence comes from a combination of propaganda and "right time, right place" in terms of when they took the reins of the German economy. A kind of funny example that isn't Nazis, but their contemporary fascists, Mussolini's Italian regime damaged the on-time performance of trains in Italy, but the regime kept saying the trains were running on time to the point where it's become a whole saying about excusing fascism because of its competence/results ("at least the trains run on time").
